How to Destroy Your Health
May 12, 2008 by zgardener
How easy it is to get upset, eat poorly, sleep little, stay uptight and take care of everything except yourself. After all, this is the modern life and we really don’t have any choice, right? Wrong. The life we live is about the only thing in this world we do have the ability to control. If we make an affirmative decision today that we will take control of our lives and with God’s help and direction, follow his will, then all these things we must to do be and stay healthy will come to us. Our world will yield to our will when it id based on God’s will for us. We should ask ourselves, “how much good can we do for our families, friends and business associates if we are tired, sick, weak and angry?” The answer is clear.
In health,

How to Destroy Your Health
Get emotional and excited over every trifling occurrence, especially if it is no concern of yours.
Eat and drink indiscriminately. Your stomach is only a sink, anyway, and being made of cast iron, will stand anything.
Cut down your sleep. This is an excellent way to undermine the nervous system.
Never relax. That would give the body a chance to recuperate. Avoid all exercise. Exercise promotes circulation.
Read as much as you can about diseases and ailments. Your public library will carry many suitable books.
Discuss your own ailments at great length and, if you have had an operation, give dramatic little lectures about it at every opportunity.
Take good care of your dog, and your horse, and your automobile, but neglect your body. The Bible says that your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit, and to go against the Bible is always a good shortcut to trouble.
…If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt put none of these diseases upon thee
…for I am the Lord that healeth thee (Exodus 15:26).
