Health And Dietary Counsels. Part [10] 10/20/2021 (Evening thought)

Psalms 78:27 He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea; And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations. 29 So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire.

Physical Results of a Flesh Diet Increase Liability to Disease and Sudden Death

[Counsels On Diet And Foods pp 386] The liability to take disease is increased tenfold by meat eating. Worldly physicians cannot account for the rapid increase of disease among the human family. But we know that much of this suffering is caused by the eating of dead flesh. The animals are diseased, and by partaking of their flesh, we plant the seeds of disease in our own tissue and blood.

Then when exposed to the changes in a malarious atmosphere, these are more sensibly felt; also when we are exposed to prevailing epidemics and contagious diseases, the system is not in a condition to resist the disease. You have flesh, but it is not good material. You are worse off for this amount of flesh. If you would each come down to a more spare diet, which would take from you twenty-five or thirty pounds of your gross flesh, you should be much less liable to disease.

The eating of flesh meats has made a poor quality of blood and flesh. Your systems are in a state of inflammation, prepared to take on disease. You are liable to acute attacks of disease, and to sudden death, because you do not possess the strength of constitution to rally and resist disease. There will come a time when the strength and health you have flattered yourself you possessed will prove to be weakness.

Psalms 78:30 They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths, 31 The wrath of God came upon them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
