Flax Seed, that miracle fiber and newly discovered champion against Cancer and other chronic disorders…  You can put the oil in your dishes, grind the seeds and add them to breads and cakes, even make up teas to sip during your day.  It is the perfect fiber, created by God specifically for our health, and now missing from so many of our diets.  Where did we lose sight of this fabulous food?

As the Industrial Revolution came to an end, it was followed by the two World Wars, the Korean and Vietnam conflict.  This time period spanned about 150 years, but at the end of it, many of the cultural traditions were gone from our lives.  No longer did we compile our family recipes and home health teas, potions and poultices to suffice because the medical doctor was over a hundred miles away.  Now, a doctor could be had on pretty much every street corner for a price.

To make matters worse, our new lifestyles are not healthy.  All of the conveniences we take for granted today aren’t good for us.  Television, video games and online activities are actively engaged in destroying our health.  As life goes faster and faster, we buy the products produced on the markets, knowing our health is being slowly destroyed because we don’t make the time to do what is important.

Isn’t that just like us?  We eat a Wendy’s Double Cheeseburger, a large fry and a large drink at lunch every day when we should be eating a salad and taking a walk.  We sit continually in front of the television instead of getting up to rake the leaves or weed the gardens.  After a full day of work sitting in front of the computer, or driving a truck, or standing in one spot teaching, we are so worn out that is the only activity we engage in that day.  And every day after that.

We need to take action to change ourselves and get back to the simpler things in life.  Like flax seed and whole wheat products.  Lean meats, like chicken, fish and pork.  Skipping the fats and reaching for the fruit.  Only as we do this will we be living in the manner that our Creator God created us.  Perfectly fit for a perfect life in His love.
