The Biblical Diet: Top 10 Bible Foods that Heal 圣经饮食：十大具有治愈功效的圣经食物

 The Biblical Diet: Top 10 Bible Foods that Heal 圣经饮食：十大具有治愈功效的圣经食物

“Whether you eat, drink or whatever you do, do all for the glory of God.” — 1 Corinthians 10:31

“无论吃喝，无论做什么，都要为了上帝的荣耀而做。” — 哥林多前书 10:31

All throughout the Bible, references are made to the healing properties of herbs and foods. Representing health and longevity from Almighty God, the importance of diet and of preparing and eating food was oftentimes seen as a spiritual act. If you want to consume some of the most common foods mentioned for their health properties in the Bible, then you’ll want to try these top 10 healing Bible foods.

But first, let’s look at what foods the Bible considers clean vs. unclean. Of course, all of the healing foods land in the clean category.

What Are Clean and Unclean Foods?

 整本圣经都提到了草药和食物的治疗功效。 饮食以及准备和食用食物的重要性常常被视为一种精神行为，代表着全能上帝的健康和长寿。 如果您想食用圣经中提到的一些最常见的具有健康功效的食物，那么您会想尝试一下这些十大具有治愈作用的圣经食物。

 但首先，让我们看看圣经认为哪些食物是洁净的，哪些是不洁净的。 当然，所有的治疗食品都属于清洁食品。

 什么是洁净食品和不洁净食品？

When you go on the Bible diet, there are only certain kinds of food that you can eat. Certain foods are “clean” and should be eaten while others are “unclean” and should be completely avoided.

Acceptable Biblical Foods :

• Trees whose edible yield is bearing seeds or is seed — To put it simply, this kind of food is mostly fruits. All fruits are acceptable in the Biblical diet, just as long as they come from seeds. Fruits from fruit trees are okay to eat, as well as anything that grows on a vine, a shrub or anything with a woody bark tissue.

• Plants whose edible yield is bearing seeds or is seeds — This classification refers to anything that may grow on plants that are not necessarily trees. Examples of seed-bearing plants include squash, tomatoes, corn and beans.

• Field plants — Field plants or “plants of the field” are the next thing on the list, which can consist of herbs, roots and green, leafy vegetables.

• Clean meat — Now this one’s a little detailed because the definition of clean meat is pretty complex. According to Leviticus, clean meat is defined as the meat of every animal that has the hoof cloven in two and chews the cud. Examples of clean meat include the ox (cattle), buffalo, sheep, goat, deer, gazelle, antelope and mountain sheep, just to name a few. Examples of unclean meat include pig, camel, hare and rock badger. The Bible also instructs us not to eat the blood of animals or to eat any meat that has been sacrificed to idols.

As for seafood, everything with fins and scales are allowed, but whatever doesn’t have fins such as shellfish is prohibited. For birds, everything is allowed except eagles, vultures, kites, ravens, ostriches, seagulls and owls. It is also noted that all winged insects are considered unclean.

当你遵循圣经饮食时，你只能吃某些种类的食物。 某些食物是“干净的”，应该吃，而另一些食物是“不干净的”，应该完全避免。

 可接受的圣经食物：

 • 食用产量为种子或种子的树木——简单来说，这类食物主要是水果。 所有水果在圣经饮食中都是可以接受的，只要它们来自种子。 果树的果实以及任何生长在藤蔓、灌木或任何带有木本树皮组织的东西都可以吃。

 • 可食用的植物含有种子或本身就是种子——此分类指的是任何可能生长在植物（不一定是树木）上的植物。 种子植物的例子包括南瓜、西红柿、玉米和豆类。

 •田间植物——田间植物或“田间植物”是列表中的下一个植物，可以包括草本植物、根茎植物和绿叶蔬菜。

 • 清洁肉——现在这个有点详细，因为清洁肉的定义非常复杂。 根据利未记，干净的肉被定义为每一种蹄子分成两半并反刍的动物的肉。 清洁肉类的例子包括牛、水牛、绵羊、山羊、鹿、瞪羚、羚羊和山羊等。 不洁肉类的例子包括猪、骆驼、野兔和岩獾。 圣经还教导我们不要吃动物的血，也不要吃任何祭过偶像的肉。

 至于海鲜，凡是有翅、有鳞的都是允许的，但凡是没有翅的，比如贝类，都是禁止的。 对于鸟类来说，除了鹰、秃鹫、风筝、乌鸦、鸵鸟、海鸥和猫头鹰外，一切都可以。 还值得注意的是，所有有翅昆虫都被认为是不洁净的。

All throughout the Bible, references are made to the medicinal properties of foods and herbs. Representing health and longevity from Almighty God, the importance of diet and of preparing and eating food was oftentimes seen as a spiritual act.

CLEAN VS. UNCLEAN FOODS

Certain foods are "clean" & should be eaten while others are "unclean" & should be completely avoided.

CLEAN FOODS:

◆ "Trees" : Bearing seeds, mostly fruits (anything that grows on a vine)

◆ Seed-Bearing: Plants Such as squash, tomatoes, corn & beans

◆ Field Plants: Herbs, roots & leafy vegetables

◆ "Clean" Meat: According to Leviticus law, clean meat is the meat of every animal that has the hoof cloven in 2 & chews the cud (Ox/cattle, buffalo, sheep, goat, deer. gazelle, antelope & mountain sheep)

UNCLEAN FOODS:

● Unclean Meats: Pig, camel, hare & rock badger

● Shellfish: Seafood with fins & scales are allowed, but whatever doesn't have fins is prohibited

● Exotic Birds: All birds are allowed except the eagle, vulture, kite, raven, ostrich, seagull & owls

● All Winged Insects 

Top Bible Foods

1. Olives and Olive Oil

Then it shall come about when the Lord your God brings you into the land which He swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you, great and splendid cities which you did not build, and houses full of all good things which you did not fill, and hewn cisterns which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant, and you eat and are satisfied. — Deuteronomy 6:10-11

The Jews were the elite olive merchants of their day. During antiquity, this precious commodity was used for its healing capabilities, for cooking, to light lamps, for soaps, for cosmetics and even for currency. Olive oil was considered so sacred to ancient culture that it was even used to anoint kings and priests. Hence, the Hebrew for Messiah, Moshiach, meaning “anointed one!”

Research has been conducted that proves regular consumption of olives and olive oil contributes to heart, brain, skin and joint health. They have even been linked to cancer and diabetes prevention. Needless to say, this sacred foodstuff has lived up to its ancient reputation.

2. Pomegranate  

For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of

fountains and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey. — Deuteronomy 8:7-8

Tasty, messy and just recently gaining ground in the American market these past few years, several research studies have shown that pomegranates contain strong anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-obesity and anti-tumor properties. According to researchers, “Many beneficial effects are related to the presence of ellagic acid, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and flavones, which seem to be its most therapeutically beneficial components.”

Subsequently, pomegranates are considered excellent foods to help battle such chronic diseases as cancer, insulin resistance, intestinal inflammation and obesity.

3. Fermented Grapes

May he kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your love is better than wine. (Song of Solomon 1:2)

I can’t make a list of top Bible foods without including grapes. Several epidemiological studies have shown that moderate alcohol intake, particularly drinking red wine, may lower the risk of cardiac mortality due to atherosclerosis. The general recommendation is no more than one glass (five ounces) of red wine per day except for men under the age of 65 who may be able to have two drinks per day.

When grape juice is fermented, natural anti-oxidant and flavonoid properties are exemplified through a substance called resveratrol. Consequently, researchers have focused much of their attention on evaluating the health benefits of resveratrol in recent years, which has been linked to chronic disease prevention and treatment including diabetes and obesity.

4. Flax

An excellent wife, who can find? For her worth is far above jewels … She looks for wool and flax and works with her hands in delight. — Proverbs 31:10,13

One of the most important plant fibers in the Bible, flax has been used to make linen for as long as recorded history. Although it has been widely replaced by cotton in recent years, flax remains one of the most important fiber plants in the world and one of the top Bible foods.

Having a rich history of medicinal use dating back to Babylon in 3000 B.C., flaxseeds have been wholeheartedly embraced by natural health and medical circles alike because it provides a natural, vegan source of omega-3 essential fatty acids, lignans and fiber. Subsequently, research shows that flaxseeds may be able to help fight against breast cancer, among other serious diseases.

5. Sprouted Grain Bread

Take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and spelt; put them in a storage jar and use them to make bread for yourself. — Ezekiel 4:9

In the Book of Ezekiel, God gave the prophet Ezekiel a recipe for what has proven to be the perfect bread (sprouted grain bread) as science has recently shown us that it creates the “complete protein,” one that contains all essential amino acids. The main reason that Ezekiel bread is healthier than other breads is because the grains and legumes are soaked and sprouted, which makes them easier to digest — and as a result, is the only bread to make this list of top Bible foods.

Harvesting “sprouted grains” happens right after the seed has started to sprout, but before it has developed into a full-grown plant. During this critical growth state, the young shoot digests a portion of the starch to fuel its growth. Subsequently, because the grain’s starch has been utilized, the level of vital nutrients — including proteins, vitamins and minerals — are enhanced. Additionally, research studies have suggested that iron and zinc actually become more “bioavailable,” (i.e. more easily absorbed) after sprouting. 

6. Raw Goat Milk

The lambs will be for your clothing and the goats will bring the price of a field. There will be goats’ milk enough for your food, for the food of your household, and sustenance for your maidens. — Proverbs 27:26-27

Raw milk is filled with the vitamins and minerals that contribute to a healthy dental fluid flow and help maintain strong teeth. Loaded with calcium, vitamin K2, magnesium, phosphorus and fat-soluble vitamins, researchers have carried out a comparative study on the properties of cows’ milk compared to those of goats’ milk and have discovered that goat milk may be even more beneficial.

Unlike cows’ milk, scientists from the University of Granada has revealed that data concerning goats’ milk suggests that it could prevent diseases such as anemia and bone demineralization. Additionally, goats’ milk has properties that help with the digestive and metabolic utilization of minerals such as iron, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. 

7. Lamb

Now you shall eat it [the unblemished lamb] in this manner: with your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste — it is the Lord’s Passover. — Exodus 12:11

Due to the significance of the Passover Lamb and equating that role to Christ, lambs are the most revered animal in history, and the most honored food in the Bible (and the only meat earning a spot in the top 10 Bible foods). Lamb is the meat of young sheep that are generally one year old or younger.

● A sheep in its first year is a lamb and its meat is also lamb. 

● The meat from sheep in their second year is hogget. 

● Older sheep meat is mutton.

Due to slaughtering the animal at such a young age, the marble fat content is considerably lower than older varieties of meat, which contributes to heart health and helps prevent again obesity. Rich in protein, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, niacin, zinc and other vital nutrients, it is arguably the healthiest red meat on the planet.

On a side note, make sure to purchase local, organic, grass-fed varieties when possible. Grain-fed factory farmed animals are loaded with genetically modified corn feed, countless additives and are simply not worth the risk. 

8. Bitter Herbs (Coriander and Parsley)

They shall eat the flesh that same night, roasted with fire, and they shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. — Exodus 12:8

Scholars are not in complete agreement which plants the authors of Bible were referring to when writing about “bitter herbs,” but coriander and parsley generally make the list.

Coriander is the seed of the powerful antioxidant and natural cleansing agent cilantro. Traditional Chinese Medicine has long used and labeled coriander as an anti-diabetic plant and scientific research confirms its helpful effects on blood sugar. Coriander also appears to be helpful for high blood pressure and heavy metal detoxification amongst other positive health effects.

Parsley is another health-promoting herb and a rich source of several crucial vitamins, including vitamin A, vitamin C and potassium.

9. Vegetables

Please test your servants for ten days, and let us be given some vegetables to eat and water to drink. — Daniel 1:12

Instead of eating the tasty dainties of the Babylonians, Daniel and his friends requested to live on a vegetarian diet and water. When it was time for them to be presented to the king, Nebuchadnezzar and all of the leaders were astounded to see that the four young Jewish friends were more fit and looked better than the other young men who ate the Babylonian fare. Often referred to as the Daniel diet or the Daniel fast, history and biblical text actually support that Daniel continued his vegetarian lifestyle throughout his entire life.

Of all the food groups, vegetables are arguably the most nutrient-dense and safest to eat. There’s relatively no risk in consuming too many of them. Vegetables are so effective at healing that, according to the National Cancer Institute, cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cabbage, collards, kale, radish etc.) can help prevent cancer because they are rich in glucosinolates – a large group of sulfur-containing glucosides. Known to break down during chewing and digestion, these powerhouse chemicals can help fight cancer cells growth. Additionally, it has also been reported that glucosinolates can help address the following health concerns: 

● Inflammation

● Bacterial and viral infections

● Carcinogenic toxicity

● Tumor angiogenesis (blood vessel formation)

● Tumor metastasis (tumor migration)

10. Raw Honey

Have you found honey? Eat only what you need that you not have it in excess and vomit it. — Proverbs 25:16

It’s no wonder raw honey is referred to as “liquid gold.” The medicinal applications to the skin and internal body seem limitless. First of all, raw honey is loaded with key nutrients. Research has also shown that honey contains the disease-fighting antioxidant flavonoids like pinostrobin, pinocembrin and chrysin. 

In addition to being a fantastic replacement to energy drinks for athletes and people needing a little boost, raw honey also supports the growth of probiotics in gastrointestinal tract including (Bifidobacteria). Another fascinating quality of honey is its ability to improve allergy symptoms. However, be sure to purchase the local variety, as it will contain indigenous pollen species unlike generic store-bought brands.

Benefits of a Biblical Diet

Is it possible to lose weight by following the Bible’s teachings on food and eating? Author of The Maker’s Diet and co-founder of Ancient Nutrition, Jordan Rubin believes so!

According to him, the Bible Diet is heavily influenced based on the teachings from the books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy and the only food considered acceptable or clean is the only kind that should be eaten.

The four classifications of food (trees that yield seed, plants that yield seed, field plants, clean meat) is the foundation of a Biblical diet. There are also other important things you should consider when starting or following a Biblical diet:

● Water, sunshine and exercise. These three are absolutely key to good health. You should always remember to drink lots of water, get lots of exercise and go outside. I recommend one quart water daily for every 50 pounds of weight. Also, it’s important to drink high quality water.

● Eat safe, clean meat. This means abstaining from certain kinds of meat and seafood such as pork, lobster, clams and mussels, shrimp and catfish.

● Eat foods that are in season. The Bible states that everything has a season. This should also be our attitude when it comes to picking out the things we eat. Lean towards eating fruits, vegetables and herbs that are in season, as they’re fresher and better for your health. 

 ● Eating raw. Eating uncooked raw food is very much encouraged. Some vegetables may need to be cooked, but a majority of them can be enjoyed raw.

● Unprocessed real whole foods. What you eat should ideally be consumed in the way that it was found in nature. This means that we should stay away from preservatives, processed foods, or those produced with lots of contact with hormones, fertilizers and pesticides.

All these food restrictions may seem like a whole lot of sacrifice, but what about the rewards? According to Rubin, those who go on the Biblical diets and eat Bible foods can look forward to the following benefits:

●Weight loss: A diet high in unprocessed food, fruit and vegetables is ideal for weight loss. Natural and raw fruits and vegetables carry fewer calories and are easier to digest than other processed foods.

●A longer lifespan: Rubin claims that some of our ancestors that went on the Biblical diet went on to live for 120+ years. Although we may not reach that age, studies show that a diet high in fruits and vegetables lead to little or no health complications, thus indicating a longer lifespan.

●Energy and improved mood: When our bodies are in a state of imbalance due to poor dietary habits, we immediately feel it. We can feel sickly, sluggish and depressed. Eating right can increase energy, balance hormones and improve our mood.

Final Thoughts

Who would have thought that you could get nutritional advice in the Bible, huh? At the end of the day, if it were good enough for people back then to eat, I think it’s probably good for us today.

So much of what the Bible lays out so clearly for how we should eat also makes a lot of  sense when you look at scientific research. A Biblical diet is filled with healing foods that promote a well-rounded diet and so many awesome health benefits.

 整本圣经都提到了食物和草药的药用特性。 饮食以及准备和食用食物的重要性常常被视为一种精神行为，代表着全能上帝的健康和长寿。

 清洁与清洁 不干净的食物

 某些食物是“干净的”，应该吃，而另一些食物是“不干净的”，应该完全避免。

 清洁食品：

 ◆ “树”：结种子，主要是果实（任何生长在藤蔓上的东西）

 ◆ 种子：植物，如南瓜、西红柿、玉米和豆类

 ◆ 田间植物：草本植物、根茎类蔬菜和叶类蔬菜

 ◆“洁净”肉：根据利未记律法，洁净肉是指每一种将蹄分成两半并反刍的动物的肉（牛/牛、水牛、绵羊、山羊、鹿、瞪羚、羚羊和山羊）

 不洁净的食物：

 ● 不洁肉类：猪、骆驼、野兔和岩獾

 ● 贝类：允许食用有翅和鳞的海鲜，但禁止食用无翅的海鲜

 ● 外来鸟类：除了老鹰、秃鹰、鸢、乌鸦、鸵鸟、海鸥和猫头鹰外，所有鸟类都可以饲养

 ● 所有有翅昆虫

 顶级圣经食物

 1. 橄榄和橄榄油

 那时，耶和华你的神领你进入他向你的列祖亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起誓应许赐给你的土地，那里有伟大而辉煌的城市，不是你建造的，有房屋，里面充满了一切美好的事物，这些美物不是你建造的。 水池不是你们开凿的，不是你们挖的；葡萄园和橄榄树不是你们栽种的；你们吃了也心满意足。  — 申命记 6:10-11

犹太人是当时的精英橄榄商人。 在古代，这种珍贵的商品因其治疗功能而被用于烹饪、点灯、肥皂、化妆品甚至货币。 橄榄油在古代文化中被认为是神圣的，甚至被用来涂油国王和牧师。 因此，弥赛亚的希伯来语是“摩西亚赫”，意思是“受膏者”！

 研究证明，经常食用橄榄和橄榄油有助于心脏、大脑、皮肤和关节健康。 它们甚至与癌症和糖尿病的预防有关。 不用说，这种神圣的食物不负其古老的声誉。

 2.石榴

 因为耶和华你的神必带你进入美地，那地有溪水，有水。

 喷泉和泉水，在山谷和山丘中流淌； 这是一片盛产小麦和大麦、葡萄树、无花果树和石榴的土地，也是一片盛产橄榄油和蜂蜜的土地。 — 申命记 8:7-8

 美味、杂乱，近几年才在美国市场上崭露头角，多项研究表明，石榴具有很强的抗炎、抗氧化、抗肥胖和抗肿瘤特性。 研究人员表示，“许多有益作用与鞣花酸、类黄酮、花青素和黄酮的存在有关，这些似乎是其最有治疗效果的成分。”

 随后，石榴被认为是帮助对抗癌症、胰岛素抵抗、肠道炎症和肥胖等慢性疾病的极好食物。

 3. 发酵葡萄

 愿他用嘴吻我！ 因为你的爱比酒更好。 （雅歌 1:2）

 我无法列出一份不包括葡萄的顶级圣经食物清单。 多项流行病学研究表明，适量饮酒，尤其是饮用红酒，可以降低因动脉粥样硬化导致的心脏死亡风险。 一般建议是每天不超过一杯（五盎司）红酒，但 65 岁以下的男性每天可以喝两杯。

 当葡萄汁发酵时，天然抗氧化剂和类黄酮特性通过一种称为白藜芦醇的物质得到体现。 因此，近年来，研究人员将大部分注意力集中在评估白藜芦醇的健康益处上，白藜芦醇与糖尿病和肥胖等慢性疾病的预防和治疗有关。

 4.亚麻

 如此优秀的妻子，谁能找到呢？ 因为她的价值远远高于珠宝……她寻找羊毛和亚麻，并愉快地用手工作。 ——箴言 31:10,13

 亚麻是圣经中最重要的植物纤维之一，自有记载以来就一直被用来制作亚麻布。 尽管近年来亚麻已被棉花广泛取代，但亚麻仍然是世界上最重要的纤维植物之一，也是顶级的圣经食物之一。

 亚麻籽的药用历史可以追溯到公元前 3000 年的巴比伦，它一直受到自然健康和医学界的热烈欢迎，因为它提供了 omega-3 必需脂肪酸、木脂素和纤维的天然纯素来源。 随后，研究表明亚麻籽可能有助于对抗乳腺癌和其他严重疾病。

 5. 发芽谷物面包

 以小麦和大麦、豆类和扁豆、小米和斯佩耳特小麦为例； 将它们放入储物罐中，然后用它们为自己做面包。 ——以西结书 4:9

 在《以西结书》中，上帝给了先知以西结一份被证明是完美面包（发芽谷物面包）的食谱，因为科学最近向我们表明，它创造了“完整蛋白质”，含有所有必需氨基酸。 以西结面包比其他面包更健康的主要原因是谷物和豆类经过浸泡和发芽，这使得它们更容易消化——因此，它是唯一进入这份顶级圣经食物清单的面包。

 收获“发芽谷物”发生在种子开始发芽之后，但在它发育成完全生长的植物之前。 在这个关键的生长状态下，幼芽消化一部分淀粉以促进其生长。 随后，由于谷物中的淀粉被利用，重要营养素（包括蛋白质、维生素和矿物质）的水平得到提高。 此外，研究表明，发芽后铁和锌实际上变得更“生物可利用”（即更容易吸收）。

 6.生羊奶

 羔羊将为你提供衣服，山羊将为你带来田地的价格。 羊奶足够你的食物，足够你一家人的食物，足够你的少女们的食物。 ——箴言 27:26-27

生奶富含维生素和矿物质，有助于健康的牙液流动并有助于保持牙齿坚固。 研究人员对牛奶和羊奶的特性进行了比较研究，发现羊奶富含钙、维生素 K2、镁、磷和脂溶性维生素，结果发现羊奶可能更有益。

 与牛奶不同，格拉纳达大学的科学家透露，有关山羊奶的数据表明，它可以预防贫血和骨骼脱矿等疾病。 此外，羊奶还具有有助于铁、钙、磷和镁等矿物质的消化和代谢利用的特性。

 7. 羊肉

 现在你们要腰间束带，脚上穿鞋，手拿杖，这样吃无瑕疵的羔羊。 你们要赶紧吃掉——这是主的逾越节。 — 出埃及记 12:11

 由于逾越节羔羊的重要性并将其等同于基督，羔羊是历史上最受尊敬的动物，也是圣经中最受尊敬的食物（也是唯一在圣经十大食物中占有一席之地的肉类）。 羔羊肉是指一岁以下的幼羊的肉。

 ● 一岁的羊是羔羊，它的肉也是羔羊。

 ● 羊第二年的肉是hogget。

 ● 老羊肉是羊肉。

 由于在如此年轻的时候屠宰动物，大理石脂肪含量比较老的肉类品种低得多，这有助于心脏健康并有助于防止再次肥胖。 它富含蛋白质、维生素 B12、维生素 B6、烟酸、锌和其他重要营养素，可以说是地球上最健康的红肉。

 另一方面，请确保尽可能购买当地的有机草饲品种。 工厂化饲养的谷物饲养动物富含转基因玉米饲料和无数添加剂，根本不值得冒险。

 8.苦药草（香菜和欧芹）

 当晚，他们要吃用火烤的肉，并与无酵饼和苦菜一起吃。 — 出埃及记 12:8

 学者们并不完全同意《圣经》作者在写到“苦菜”时所指的植物，但香菜和欧芹通常都在名单上。

 香菜是强大的抗氧化剂和天然清洁剂香菜的种子。 中医长期以来一直将香菜用作抗糖尿病植物，科学研究也证实了它对血糖的有益作用。 香菜似乎还有助于高血压和重金属解毒以及其他积极的健康影响。

 欧芹是另一种促进健康的草本植物，也是多种重要维生素的丰富来源，包括维生素 A、维生素 C 和钾。

 9. 蔬菜

 请考验仆人十天，给我们一些蔬菜吃和水喝。 ——但以理书 1:12

 丹尼尔和他的朋友们要求以素食和水为生，而不是吃巴比伦人的美味佳肴。 当他们被带到国王面前时，尼布甲尼撒和所有的领导人都惊讶地发现这四个年轻的犹太朋友比其他吃巴比伦食物的年轻人更健康，看起来也更好。 通常被称为但以理饮食或但以理禁食，历史和圣经文本实际上支持但以理一生都坚持素食生活方式。

 在所有食物类别中，蔬菜可以说是营养最丰富、食用最安全的。 消耗太多相对来说没有风险。 蔬菜具有非常有效的治愈作用，据美国国家癌症研究所称，十字花科蔬菜（西兰花、卷心菜、羽衣甘蓝、羽衣甘蓝、萝卜等）可以帮助预防癌症，因为它们富含芥子油苷（一大类含硫葡萄糖苷）。 这些强大的化学物质在咀嚼和消化过程中会分解，有助于对抗癌细胞的生长。 此外，据报道，硫代葡萄糖苷可以帮助解决以下健康问题：

 ● 炎症

 ● 细菌和病毒感染

 ● 致癌毒性

 ● 肿瘤血管生成（血管形成）

 ● 肿瘤转移（肿瘤迁移）

 10.生蜂蜜

 你找到蜂蜜了吗？ 只吃你需要的东西，不要吃过量而呕吐。 ——箴言 25:16

难怪原蜂蜜被称为“液体黄金”。 对皮肤和体内的医学应用似乎是无限的。 首先，生蜂蜜富含关键营养成分。 研究还表明，蜂蜜中含有抗病抗氧化剂黄酮类化合物，如松菌素、松松素和白杨素。

 对于运动员和需要一点提神作用的人来说，生蜂蜜除了是能量饮料的绝佳替代品之外，还支持胃肠道中益生菌的生长，包括双歧杆菌。 蜂蜜的另一个迷人品质是它能够改善过敏症状。 但是，请务必购买当地品种，因为与普通商店购买的品牌不同，它含有本地花粉种类。

 符合圣经的饮食的好处

 遵循圣经关于食物和饮食的教导可以减肥吗？ 《The Maker's Diet》一书的作者、《Ancient Nutrition》的联合创始人乔丹·鲁宾 (Jordan Rubin) 相信这一点！

 据他说，圣经饮食深受《利未记》和《申命记》教义的影响，唯一被认为可以接受或干净的食物是唯一应该吃的食物。

 食物的四种分类（结种子的树木、结种子的植物、田间植物、干净的肉类）是圣经饮食的基础。 在开始或遵循圣经饮食时，您还应该考虑其他重要的事情：

 ● 水、阳光和运动。 这三者绝对是身体健康的关键。 你应该永远记住多喝水、多运动、多出去走走。 我建议每 50 磅体重每天喝一夸脱水。 此外，喝优质水也很重要。

 ● 吃安全、清洁的肉类。 这意味着要戒掉某些肉类和海鲜，例如猪肉、龙虾、蛤蜊和贻贝、虾和鲶鱼。

 ● 吃应季的食物。 圣经说万物都有季节。 这也应该是我们在挑选食物时的态度。 倾向于吃应季的水果、蔬菜和香草，因为它们更新鲜，对您的健康更有好处。

  ● 生吃。 非常鼓励吃未煮熟的生食。 有些蔬菜可能需要煮熟，但大多数蔬菜都可以生吃。

 ● 未经加工的真正天然食品。 理想情况下，您所吃的食物应该以自然界中发现的方式食用。 这意味着我们应该远离防腐剂、加工食品或那些与激素、化肥和杀虫剂大量接触的食品。

 所有这些食物限制看起来似乎是巨大的牺牲，但是奖励呢？ 鲁宾认为，那些遵循圣经饮食和食用圣经食物的人可以获得以下好处：

 ●减肥：富含未加工食品、水果和蔬菜的饮食是减肥的理想选择。 天然和生的水果和蔬菜比其他加工食品含有更少的热量并且更容易消化。

 ●更长的寿命：鲁宾声称，我们的一些遵循圣经饮食的祖先继续活了 120 多年。 尽管我们可能没有达到这个年龄，但研究表明，富含水果和蔬菜的饮食很少或不会导致健康并发症，从而表明寿命更长。

 ●补充能量、改善情绪：当我们的身体因为不良的饮食习惯而处于不平衡的状态时，我们会立即感觉到。 我们可能会感到病弱、迟钝和沮丧。 正确饮食可以增加能量、平衡荷尔蒙并改善我们的情绪。

 最后的想法

 谁会想到你可以从圣经中获得营养建议，是吧？ 归根结底，如果当时的人们吃得足够好，我想它可能对今天的我们也有好处。

 圣经对我们应该如何饮食的清晰阐述，当你看看科学研究时，也很有意义。 符合圣经的饮食充满了治愈性食物，促进全面的饮食和许多令人敬畏的健康益处。
