To Understand the Concepts of Healing, We First Need to Know:
Why Do We Get Sick?
The greatest cause of human suffering is ignorance on the subject of how to treat our bodies. Disease is an effort of nature to free the system from conditions that result from a violation of the laws of health.
What Does This Mean?Disease is not a negative condition which should be suppressed or "cured," but a self-defensive mechanism of the body in an effort to restore health. Pain is your body's way of telling you that something is wrong. Every acute disease is an effort of nature to cleanse and heal. When suppressed over time it can become more serious.
How Is Disease the Result of Violating Yahuwah's Laws?Medicine suggests that we are victims to illness, attacked by a harmful organism or cursed by bad
genes. In reality‚ illness most often is independent of uncontrollable factors. Disease often results of our own choices. Disease-causing organisms are scavengers. Bacteria‚ virus‚ or parasitic infection are not the primary cause of disease but rather the result. Even the father of the germ theory‚ Pasteur‚ began to understand the true relationship of germs to disease late in his life‚ when he stated: "The germ is nothing‚ the soil [the condition of the body] is everything‚" meaning that when the body is well-nourished and clean it is less likely to be affected by disease-causing agents.
"There are no specific diseases only specific disease conditions." — Florence Nightingale
Yahuwah has written physical laws with His own finger upon every nerve‚ every muscle‚ and every organ which has been entrusted to us. In His wisdom, He established these natural laws for the proper moderation of all aspects of our lives, including our appetites, passions, and dress. And what determines the condition of enjoying His blessing of bountiful health is obedience to every particular of His laws.
Yahuwah loves His creatures with a love that is both tender and strong. He has established the laws of nature; but His laws are not arbitrary exactions. Every "Thou shalt not," whether in physical or moral law‚ contains a promise. When obeyed blessings will attend our steps and when neglected we suffer the results. The transgression of the physical law is transgression of Yahuwah's law. As sin results from the transgression of the moral law‚ disease results from the transgression of the physical law.
Yahuwah is greatly dishonored by the way we treat our bodies‚ and He will not work a miracle to counteract a perverse violation of the laws of health. The Master has made it a part of His plan that our reaping shall be according to our sowing (Galatians 6:7).
Disease is merely a departure from normal health. A careful conformity to the laws which Yahuwah has implanted in our being will yield health‚ and there will not be a breaking down of the constitution. Yahuwah, the Creator of our bodies, who has arranged every cell, nerve, sinew, and muscle, has pledged Himself to keep this machinery in healthful action if we obey His laws and cooperate with Him. "If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of Yahuwah thy Eloah‚ and wilt do that which is right in his sight‚ and wilt give ear to his commandments‚ and keep all his statutes‚ I will put none of these diseases upon thee… for I am Yahuwah that healeth thee" (Exodus 15:26, emphasis added).
When we realize that disease is the result of transgressing Yahuwah's physical laws‚ part of the remedy is found in identifying the cause (transgression). By removing this cause we are on the track to recovering health.

When the abuse of health is carried so far that sickness results‚ we can often do what no one else can do for ourselves: 
"While health may not be everything, without your health, nothing else matters." —Royden Brown
How Can I Obtain Heaven's Healing?"He sent his word, and healed them." —Psalm 107:20
Yahushua desires that humanity cooperates with divinity. What human power can do divine power is not summoned to do. Yahuwah does not dispense with human aid but rather strengthens us to cooperate with Him. "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone" (James 2:17)."The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of Yahuwah." —Proverbs 21:31
What Is the Only Method of Obtaining Healing That Heaven Approves Of?
"Truly the light is sweet‚ and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun." —Ecclesiastes 11:7
Have you ever stopped to think how life could exist without sunlight? —Not a leaf or fruit could grow nor a flower bloom. The life of every created being is the more perfect the more the creature enjoys the influence of light. Let a plant or an animal be deprived of light‚ notwithstanding every nourishment‚ care‚ and cultivation‚ it will first lose its color‚ then its strength‚ then completely decay.
Start with 10-15 minutes exposure to the face‚ arms and legs, or the diseased area of the body daily under direct sunlight (not behind a window). Build up to 20-30 minutes daily. Avoid sun burning. Do not use sun block or suntan lotion, they have been proven to be carcinogenic.Our body's most important nutritional requirement is oxygen. Humans may live five to six weeks without food, a few days without water, but only a few minutes without air. Just as fire in a furnace cannot be kept up without enough air to supply the necessary amount of oxygen for the flames‚ so the fires of life in the body cannot be maintained without an abundance of oxygen in the body. The way we breathe, as well as the quality of the air we breath, can substantially affect how we look‚ feel‚ resist disease‚ and even how long we live.
Why Is it Important to Make Sure That I Am Breathing Correctly?
In order to have good blood‚ we must breathe well. Full‚ deep inspirations of pure air fill the lungs with oxygen; purify the blood‚ sending it—a life-giving current—to every part of the body. Good respiration soothes the nerves; stimulates the appetite; improves digestion; and induces sound‚ refreshing sleep.
Shallow breathing creates an insufficient supply of oxygen causing the blood to move sluggishly. The waste‚ poisonous matter‚ which should be thrown off in exhalations from the lungs‚ is retained and the blood becomes impure. Not only the lungs‚ but the stomach‚ liver and brain are affected. The skin becomes sallow and digestion is retarded. Oxygen deficiency in the cells is known to cause cancer. Experiments have shown that cancer cells cannot live in blood that is well oxygenated.
Does the Way I Stand or Sit Affect My Breathing?
Yes, practice how to sit and stand straight—head high‚ back straight. The lungs can expand properly only when a person sits and stands straight because otherwise the lung sacs that take in air are compressed.
How Can I Make Sure That I'm Getting Enough Air?
Most people have very shallow breathing, which means the lower portion of the lungs is filled with stale air. It is important to do deep breathing exercise daily (three times a day is best). Take a deep breath to full expansion‚ hold‚ then exhale slowly and completely‚ and hold that. Repeat this‚ say‚ twenty times. This helps the circulation and gets toxins out of the system.
One of the best ways to learn deep breathing (normal breathing) is to lie flat on one's back and place your hand on your stomach. As you breathe in deeply your hand should rise. Practice this until your abdominal muscles always automatically rise each time you breathe. This indicates that the entire lung is expanding‚ with emphasis on the lower portion of the lung and abdominal area.
Be outdoors as much as possible. Always exercise outdoors. In the home it is important to secure thorough ventilation and plenty of sunlight. Keep proper ventilation in mind wherever you are (home‚ work‚ school‚ etc.). Air must be in constant circulation to be kept free from poisons.
Breathe fresh air while sleeping, keep the windows open. Even on cold winter nights‚ it is better to double the blankets but always make sure there is a free circulation of fresh air in the bedroom. Air the bedrooms daily with the windows open. If you sleep in an ill-ventilated room you will awake feeling feverish and exhausted. This is because the vital air was excluded‚ and your entire body suffers in consequence.
The best air is at beaches‚ oceans‚ waterfalls‚ forests‚ during thunderstorms, and in sunshine; all these natural environments electrically charge oxygen molecules to negative ions which are health-giving. On the other hand, air from air conditioners is not the best‚ because it is positively ionized.
Avoid smog, second-hand smoke, insect sprays, and cleaning solutions. To give your skin an opportunity to breathe without impediments, wear natural clothing (100 percent cotton‚ linen‚ silk or wool). Avoid putting anything on your skin that is not edible because the body will readily absorb it. Before bathing, brush your skin with a stiff skin brush until it is rosy and warmed. Brush stroking towards the heart region, this will remove all the dead skin cells and stimulate the lymphatic system.
What if I Am Sick?
Air should not be regarded as an enemy‚ but a precious blessing. Many think that when they have a cold‚ they must exclude outside air‚ and increase the temperature of their room until it is excessively hot. The system becomes deranged and the pores closed by waste matter. And the internal organs suffer more or less inflammation‚ because the blood has been chilled back from the surface and thrown upon them. At this time‚ of all others‚ the lungs should not be deprived of pure‚ fresh air. If pure air is ever necessary‚ it is when any part of the system‚ as the lungs or stomach‚ is diseased.
Many families suffer with sore throats‚ lung disorders and liver complaints‚ brought upon them by their own course of action. They breathe the same air over and over again‚ until it becomes impregnated with poisonous impurities. Those who thus abuse their health must suffer disease.
Then, What Should I Do If the Air Is Too Cold?
Dress warmly but try not to wear too much. If you add clothing‚ let it be but little‚ and exercise‚ if possible‚ to regain the heat you need. If you positively cannot engage in active exercise‚ warm yourself by the heater; lower the room temperature as soon as you have regained your natural warmth. If those who can would engage in some active employment to take the mind off themselves‚ they would generally forget that they felt the chill‚ and would not receive harm. For invalids who have feeble lungs‚ nothing can be worse than an overheated atmosphere. The heated oppressed atmosphere deprives the vitality‚ benumbs the sensitive brain‚ and causes the lungs to shrink and the liver to become inactive.
For healthy circulation special attention should be given to the extremities, that they may be as thoroughly clothed as the trunk of the body, where there is the greatest amount of heat. When the limbs are not as well dressed as the chest, blood is driven to the head, this may cause headaches or nosebleeds; a sense of fullness about the chest, producing coughs or palpitations of the heart, on account of too much blood in that locality; or indigestion because the stomach has too much blood.
What Can I Do if I Live in a City and the Air Is Impure?
It is not possible to enjoy the health Yahuwah wants to bless you with while you are breathing polluted and congested air. Your health is more important than where you live, that is why moving to the country would be a dramatic but wise priority. Until you move fill your bedroom, home, and work place with green plants, this will help to filter and clean the air.
"Cleanse first that which is within … that the outside … may be clean also." —Matthew 23:26
Toxic waste builds up in the body when we do not drink enough water. The body of a newborn contains more than 80 percent water. The amount of
water in the tissues lessens with advancing age. More than 60 percent of our body is made up of water.How Much Water Should I Drink and How Do I Know If I Am Drinking Enough Water?
Contrary to popular belief‚ thirst is not a good indication. By the time you are thirsty‚ it means your body has already lost more than 3 percent of its water. If your urine is a strong yellow color‚ you are not drinking enough. Ideally‚ your urine should be almost colorless. Regular intake of water throughout the
day is important because when a large amount of water is ingested‚ it is practically completely eliminated by the kidneys in the succeeding few hours. That is why‚ to meet your daily ration of water intake‚ a lot of water all at once is not the solution. Drinking one glass of water every waking hour or so throughout the day is best. When you are tired, just drinking a lot of plain, cold water will help revitalize you during sluggish periods of the day. You will need to drink even more than that if you sweat much or if the weather is hot. This will increase your endurance. Carry your water supply with you and use it and no other liquid to quench your thirst.
A good estimate of the minimum amount of water one needs is to take your body weight in pounds and divide that number in half. That gives you the number of ounces of water per day that you need to drink.
Upon rising, to jump-start your day on the right track, make it a habit to drink two to four glasses of warm lemon water. For each glass squeeze the juice of half a lemon. Lemon water is alkalizing and detoxifying.
If you are not having daily bowel movements (ideally one after each meal), you may need to up your water intake (also make sure you are getting daily exercising and eating plenty of fruit, vegetables and whole grains).
What is the Best Source of Drinking Water?
Pure spring water. Second choice, pure well water. If this is not possible, water that has gone through reverse osmosis or distillation is good. It would be wise to check the total dissolved solids (TDS) of any water source you drink to get an overall indicator of the water's purity. Never drink chlorinated water, it is a poison to your body, destroying your thyroid gland and healthy bacteria which is your immune systems first shield of defense. The greatest danger in chlorinated water are the byproducts when chlorine combines with organic material in the water. Some experts believe these byproducts to be over 10,000 times more toxic than the chlorine itself.
The Natural Resources Council performed a four-year study of over one hundred bottled water brands. This research pointed out that as much as 40 percent of bottled water came from a city water system, just like tap water. One third of the tested brands contained bacteria or other chemicals that exceeded the industry's own purity guidelines.
How About Bathing?
It is important to keep the pores of the skin open and clean by daily bathing. The average healthy person eliminates about one kilogram (two pounds) of waste material daily through the pores of the skin. People who engage in rigorous physical activity eliminate an even greater amount. The skin is considered
to play the role of a third kidney. A burned victim who has had over 50 percent of the skin function destroyed‚ has a lower chance for survival‚ and his kidneys are placed under a terrific load because of the loss of eliminative assistance by the skin.
Whether in health, or illness, daily bathing should not be neglected. A neglect of cleanliness will induce disease. The multitude of pores‚ through which the body breathes‚ become clogged and filled with waste matter. The skin needs to be carefully and thoroughly cleansed‚ that the pores may do their work in freeing the body from impurities. Even feeble persons who are diseased need the advantages and blessings of bathing daily.
Respiration is more free and easy if bathing is practiced. By it‚ the muscles become more flexible‚ the mind and body are alike invigorated‚ the intellect is made brighter‚ and every faculty becomes livelier. It promotes general perspiration‚ quickens the circulation‚ overcomes obstructions in the system‚ and acts beneficially on the kidneys and urinary organs. Bathing helps the bowels‚ stomach‚ and liver‚ giving energy and new life to each. It also promotes digestion‚ and instead of the system being weakened‚ it is strengthened.
Instead of increasing the liability of cold‚ a bath‚ properly taken‚ fortifies against cold‚ because the circulation is improved‚ and the uterine organs‚ which are more or less congested are relieved‚ for the blood is brought to the surface‚ and an easier and regular flow of the blood through all the blood vessels is obtained. It is better to end your bath or shower with at least 30 seconds of cold water. Ending with a cold shower strengthens the body whereas ending with warmer water weakens the body.
Should I Use Hydrotherapy (Water Treatments) When I Am Sick? How Effective Is Its Use?
Natural remedies combined with hydrotherapy are more effective in restoring health than all the drug medication in the world. [However, you should not drop your cirrent medications prescribed by your doctor abruptly without consulting first your private physician. Any droping of current medications should be gradual and as allowed by your doctor.] The use of water is one of the most ancient remedies. As early as 400 BC Hippocrates, who is considered by modern medicine as the "Father of Medicine," treated the sick with hot and cold water.
Whenever there is disease there is some kind of disturbance in the circulation. This disturbance can be corrected by the application of water. Hot water relaxes and cold water stimulates. Together, they act as a universal pump to equalize blood circulation. When done properly, hydrotherapy can increase circulation by 400 percent. The red blood cells and white blood cells in the peripheral circulation can increase by 20-35 and 200-300 percent respectively.
Furthermore, it is through the skin that hydrotherapy produces its powerful physiologic actions, and the skin is intimately connected to every organ in the body via the nervous system and circulatory system. By changing the skin temperature with hot and cold water applications, nerve sensations will stimulate or sedate specific systems or organs.
Take a hot shower for 3-5 minutes followed immediately by a cold shower for 30 seconds. Do this five times always ending with the cold. Try this daily for a month. Every treatment will extend and build on the benefits of the previous one. In critical cases hydrotherapy can be done twice a day directing the water treatment on the afflicted body part.
You can also have a steam bath at home. Sit on a small stool‚ covered with a blanket‚ from the neck to the feet. Have someone place a basin of boiling water between your feet and replace the water with more hot water as it cools. Maintain this position for twenty minutes; end with a cold shower for 1-2 minutes.
Wouldn't you like it if the doctor includes in one of the medications something that would:
"And Yahuwah Elohim took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it." —Genesis 2:15 
Our sedentary life has led to chronic oxygen starvation because the level of oxygen absorption is determined by the level of physical exertion. Our organs‚ muscles‚ brain‚ and nerves are now forced to struggle with their tasks in spite of a chronic undersupply of this most important nutrient. The results of this newly mechanized lifestyle, with pollution, are obvious: physical and mental deterioration and a growing number and intensity of degenerative diseases. Numerous studies suggest that physical fitness is the most powerful protector against premature morbidity, mortality and loss of functional independence.
"Many of the things we call biomarkers of aging might actually be biomarkers of inactivity." —Williams Evans Ph.D.‚ The Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging
What Types of Exercises Should I Do?
If you are not used to physical exertion, brisk walking is minimum. Begin a program of walking as far as is comfortable‚ and gradually work up to five miles per day. Outdoor labor‚ in any useful activity‚ is an excellent source of exercise.
You will gain the most benefit when you engage in a combination of four basic types of activity: aerobic exercise, strength training, flexibility and balance. Keep in mind that vigorous, demanding aerobic activity is more beneficial than easy, low intensity activity. Strength workouts should emphasize free weights and body-weight exercises. Flexibility should also emphasize stretches that counteract the forward-bent postures we all tend to be in throughout the day.
How Much Exercise Should I Get?
When in health, exercise at least 30 minutes daily three to six times a week. Exercise is important even if you are sick. At this time although it is important to rest‚ make sure to walk‚ and do breathing exercises daily. If you are unable to exercise‚ use a trampoline or get a massage as it is a form of passive exercise. A whole range of motion exercises are beneficial.
If exercise is performed without the heart being in it, it is simple drudgery, and the benefit which should result from exercise is not gained.
For those who do a lot of physical labor equivalent to exercise, exercising the mind is as important as physical exercise is to a sedentary lifestyle.
SECRET TO LONGEVITY
Two thousand centurions were studied—nothing was found in common with them other than the
moderation in quantity of food. Observations on these centurions showed that‚ for attainment of long life‚ the amount of food was more critical than the type of food that was consumed. The Bible speaks of true temperance in everything concerning life‚ not just food.
"And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible."
—1 Corinthians 9:25
"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of Yahuwah, and ye are not your own?" —1 Corinthians 6:19
The main cause of fatigue is improper diet‚ irregular meals‚ and a lack of physical exercise. Furthermore‚ irregular hours for eating and sleeping sap the brain forces. To have good health and be successful in reaching a high standard of piety‚ you must be temperate in all things.Temperance Also Includes Avoiding the Following Harmful Ingredients:
Sugar is not a food but a poisonous chemical drug that is possibly as harmful as some drugs, especially in the quantities consumed today. Dr. David Reuben, author of Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Nutrition says, "White sugar is a pure chemical extracted from plant sources, purer in fact than cocaine, which it resembles in many ways." Sugar is a thief because it drains your body of precious nutrients. Sugar suppresses the body's only defense against disease—the immune system, causes fermentation and clouds the brain. Replace refined sugars with moderate amounts of dried fruits, dates, natural honey‚ or molasses. But remember the free use of any form sugar even natural sweeteners tends to clog the system‚ and is frequently a cause of disease.As our first parents lost Eden through the indulgence of appetite, our only hope of regaining Eden is through the firm denial of appetite and passion.
Periodic cleansing is beneficial for the body. This can vary from skipping a meal a day, fasting on freshly extracted juices, or eating only raw food. There are some who would gain more benefit by abstaining from food for a day or two every week than by any amount of treatment or medical advice. To fast one day a week would be of incalculable benefit to them.Man has "… no healing medicines." —Jeremiah 30:13
Those who make it a practice to depend on drugs instead of implementing lifestyle changes that are conducive for health‚ sin against their intelligence and endanger their whole after-life.Whatever Yahushua asks us to renounce, He offers in its stead something better.
"And Elohiym said‚ Behold‚ I have given you every herb bearing seed‚ which is upon the face of all the earth‚ and every tree‚ in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat." —Genesis 1:29 Awareness is increasing that surrounded‚ as we are‚ with increasing toxicity in our food and environment‚ eating a pure and healthful diet is more important than ever.
When Yahuwah brought the Israelites out of Egypt after 400 years of bondage‚ He gave them a vegan diet (Exodus 16:35). Yahuwah could have easily provided for them flesh instead of manna‚ but a restriction was placed upon them for their good. It was His purpose to supply them with food better suited to their needs than that to which they had become accustomed to in Egypt. The perverted appetite was to be educated into a healthier state‚ that they might enjoy the food originally provided for humanity—the fruits of the earth. It was for this reason that the Israelites were deprived‚ in a great measure‚ of animal food."The food you eat can be either the safest and most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison." —Ann Wigmore
So What Should I Eat?
Eat plenty of vegetables and fruits; whole-grains; nuts and seeds; legumes‚ beans‚ and peas in as fresh a state as possible. Cultivate the habit of including plenty of dark green leafy vegetables which are an excellent source of minerals and, whenever possible include sea vegetables which are an excellent source of trace minerals. The body is like the soil if it is well mineralized it is less likely to suffer invasion. Avoid genetically modified foods.
Eating locally and according to the season is ideal. The finest source of nourishment for your body is eating fresh organic produce harvested straight from the garden. Commercial farming depletes the soil and is often not fresh by the time we eat it. Growing a garden is the best investment you can make for you and your loved ones' health. You can do this on the smallest plot of land, you can even grow a few things indoor.
Read ingredients on any package you purchase‚ choose the foods that are the least processed with the fewest additives. The ingredient-list should always be short.
Avoid foods that contain:
"Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin." —James 4:17
MEAL SUGGESTIONS
Breakfast can include: Cooked whole-grains (brown rice‚ whole-rolled oats‚ whole-wheat bread‚ buckwheat‚ barley‚ millet‚ quinoa, rye‚ sorghum‚ amaranth‚ cornmeal‚ etc); one or two kinds of fruit; raw nuts (almonds‚ Brazil nuts‚ walnuts‚ pecans‚ pistachios‚ macadamia‚ cashew‚ chestnuts‚ hazel nuts‚ peanuts‚ etc); and/or raw seeds (sunflower‚ pumpkin‚ sesame‚ hemp, chia and ground flaxseeds, etc.).
Lunch can include: A whole-food starch (potatoes, sweet potatoes, brown rice, millet, yams, cassava, corn, squash, whole-grain pasta, whole-grain bread, etc). Make sure to prepare a hefty serving of dark green leafy vegetables, and other lightly steamed vegetables (whatever is in season). There are also a wide variety of beans and legumes you can include.
Make a large salad—this should fill at least half of your plate and should be the largest dish on the table. The salad can include shredded cabbage‚ lettuce‚ celery‚ grated carrots‚ cucumbers, radish‚ green peppers‚ tomatoes‚ onions, etc. Lemon juice‚ avocado, nut or seed butters‚ olive oil, and/or herbs of preference can constitute the salad dressing. The more colorful the vegetables‚ the better: the color comes from chemicals called antioxidants which are powerful free-radical scavengers.
Eat the easiest to digest foods first (e.g. salads), ending with the denser foods, because the first thing that is eaten is the first thing that gets digested.
If a third meal is still desired‚ it should be the lightest meal of the day and can consist of a freshly extracted vegetable juice, green fruit smoothie or some fruit with whole-grain toast.
When the brain is constantly taxed‚ and there is lack of physical exercise‚ even plain food should be eaten sparingly. A fruit diet for a few days often brings great relief to brain workers.
But Where Will I Get My Protein From?
It is generally agreed that adults need one gram of protein per kilogram of body weight. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition says we need two and a half percent of our daily calories from protein. This is virtually impossible to miss on a vegan diet if you are eating a balanced diet with enough calories. "Let me emphasize, it is difficult to design a reasonable experimental diet that provides an active adult with adequate calories that is deficient in protein." Dr. John Scharffenberg.
The China Study, referred to earlier, confirmed that plant protein intake was closely linked to greater height and body weight just as animal protein intake.
Furthermore, contrary to popular dogma, there are several vegetarian sources of complete sources of protein, such as, chickpeas, white beans, potatoes, buckwheat, amaranth, quinoa, raw spinach, hemp seeds, and some of the seaweeds and herbs. In addition, protein in the raw form is utilized twice as effectively as when cooked.
Where Will I Get My Calcium From?
From the same source cows gets their calcium from—plants. These include dark green leafy vegetables, broccoli, beans, figs, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds and almonds. Interesting when you eat a plant-based diet your body requires less calcium than on an animal-based diet. Think of where the elephant or hippo get their calcium needs to build their big bones.
To make a delightful milk substitute you can blend one part soaked nuts (almonds or cashews) or seeds (sesame seeds) to four parts water. You can sweeten it by adding a few dates or some fruit while blending.
Is It Safe For Children to Grow On A Whole-Foods Plant-Based Diet?
It is not only safe but also abundantly healthful. Some basic knowledge of vegetarian nutrition is required to ensure that children receive the proper balance of nutrients. In their book, The Vegetarian Way, Virginia Messina, MPH, RD and Mark Messina, PhD state that it is not difficult to meet the nutritional needs of vegetarian children as long as they consume adequate calories and a variety of foods.
Also try to feed your children at home as much as possible, there is a world of difference between something manufactured commercially and something homemade with love. Children who sit down and eat with their families generally will eat more variety and more nutrient dense foods.
HOW CAN I CHANGE MY EATING HABITS?
Some people, because they have not yet experienced the endless variety of vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts, seeds and pulse available, may recoil at the idea of limiting their diet to only plant-based foods. What could be easier; changing what you put in your mouth or living a life plagued with fatigue, pain, and a debilitating (even life threatening) illness? With this perspective, any gustatory discipline is worthwhile.
Those who have been eating freely of meat‚ sweets, highly seasoned foods, and other processed and refined foods, cannot immediately relish a plain‚ wholesome‚ and nutritious diet. Their taste is so perverted that they have no appetite for a whole-foods plant-based diet.
Food should be chosen that will best supply the elements needed for building up the body. In this choice the appetite and customs of society is not a safe guide.
It may take time for you to relish simple wholesome food but perseverance in a self-denying course of eating and drinking will soon result in you eating it with keener relish than the epicure enjoys his rich dainties. This paradox remains that the simpler and more natural your diet is, the more pleasurable your eating experience will be. If you desire to change your diet but can't you may find fasting most helpful in reformatting your taste buds, giving your stomach its needed rest and experiencing real hunger that can be satisfied with a wholesome diet.
In all cases‚ educate the conscience‚ enlist the will‚ supply good‚ wholesome food‚ and the change will be readily made‚ and the demand for flesh will soon cease.
"The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet."
—Proverbs 27:7
Put on the brakes‚ hold your appetite under strict charge‚ and then leave yourself in the hands of Yahuwah. Remember not to bring temptation in the home. Whenever possible, keep all animal products and junk foods out of the house. "Make not provision for the flesh‚ to fulfil the lusts thereof" (Romans 13:14). Temporarily at least‚ if not permanently‚ minimize association with friends and family who encourage unhealthy eating. "He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed" (Proverbs 13:20). If you know that a social event will tempt you, do not consider going until the changes you are making in your diet and lifestyle have become a well-established habit. Many foods can be as strong an addiction as drugs. The walls of self-control and self-restriction should not in a single instance be weakened and broken down.
Keep meals simple. Enlist your family's cooperation. To start with, many favorite dishes can be
changed to become health-giving dishes, and these can be eaten often. Dishes should be prepared that will invite the appetite‚ and will be pleasing to the sight. If your family is not vegan‚ do not cook two meals; serve meat or dairy products on the side as add-ons. Let your children participate in every phase of food preparation from gardening or grocery shopping, to actual cutting of vegetables or mixing of dough, to cooking and baking, giving them age-appropriate tasks. Commend and encourage them for preparing the food and they will be more inclined to eat it. Also, while in the kitchen explain the benefits for why the family's diet is changing.
If you fail to plan‚ you plan to fail!
… Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof" (Matthew 6:34). Refrain from dramatic thoughts of doing this for good, think just for today, after a while you will be amazed at how many days you have finished just "one day at a time."
When you change from a stimulating diet of meat eating to plant-based diet, you may experience a sense of weakness and a lack of vitality. Lower-quality food and drinks containing‚ meat‚ caffeine‚ sugar‚ spices‚ and excess salt‚ tend to be more stimulating than higher-quality foods. Consequently‚ the withdrawal of these stimulating foods produces a slower resting phase for the heart which registers in the mind as a decrease in energy. Just make sure to drink plenty of water, get enough rest and discard all empty calories (i.e. foods/drinks that contain refined sugar, commercial oil, white flour, white rice) and include plenty of nutrient-dense foods like green leafy vegetables; vegetables and fruits; raw nuts and seeds. And sooner than later you will be feeling better than you ever felt before.To eat is a necessity‚ but to eat intelligently is an art. If not more important‚ just as important as what we eat‚ is how and when we eat. The following are the basic principles for healthy eating:
Chew More
It has been said that you must chew your drink and drink your food. The benefit derived from food does not depend so much on the quantity eaten‚ as on its thorough digestion. Moreover, the gratification of taste does not depend on the amount of food swallowed‚ as on the length of time it remains in the mouth. Digestion starts in the mouth; thorough chewing allows digestive enzymes in saliva to thoroughly mix with food‚ an essential first step for optimal digestion.
Those who wish to avoid indigestion or bloating‚ and those who realize their obligation to keep all their powers in a condition which will enable them to render the best service to Yahuwah‚ will do well to remember that if time to eat is limited‚ not to bolt down food‚ rather eat less‚ and chew slowly. When excited‚ anxious‚ or in a hurry‚ it is better not to eat until we get rest or relief‚ because the vital powers‚ already severely taxed‚ cannot supply the necessary digestive fluids.
Chewing gum is unhealthful as it overworks the salivary glands and confuses the digestive system.
Bigger Breakfast
It is the custom of society to take a small breakfast. But this is not the best way to treat the stomach. At breakfast time the stomach is in a better condition to take care of more food than at the second or third meal of the day. The habit of eating a sparing breakfast and a large dinner is wrong. Make your breakfast correspond more nearly to the heartiest meal of the day.
Eat at Regular Times
"To every thing there is a season‚ and a time to every purpose under the heaven." —Ecclesiastes 3:1
Having your meals the same time everyday regulates and controls the internal signals of satiety‚ appetite and hunger. You injure your health greatly by overeating and by eating at improper times. This diminishes the blood to the brain. The mind becomes confused‚ and you have not the proper control of yourself—"Feed me with food convenient for me: lest I be full‚ and deny Thee" (Proverbs 30:8b‚ 9a).
If we would form habits of regularity and order‚ we would improve in health‚ in mental attitude‚ in memory‚ and in disposition. It is our duty to observe strict rules in all our habits of life. This is for our own good‚ both physically and morally.
Five to Six Hours Between Meals"And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning‚ and bread and flesh in the evening."
——1 Kings 17:6
The practice of eating but two meals a day is generally found to be a benefit to health. Those who are changing from three meals a day to two‚ will at first be troubled more or less with faintness‚ especially about the time they have been in the habit of eating their third meal. But if they persevere for a short time‚ this faintness will disappear. Yet under some circumstances‚ some persons may require a third meal. If taken, this should be very light‚ and of food most easily digested.
Eat Only At Mealtimes
"Blessed art thou‚ O land‚ when thy king is the son of nobles‚ and thy princes eat in due season‚ for strength‚ and not for drunkenness!" —Ecclesiastes 10:17.
Snacking between meals destroys the healthful tone of the digestive organs‚ to the detriment of health and cheerfulness. One who cannot control his eating habits will not be able to control his feelings and temper.
Many indulge in the pernicious habit of eating just before retiring. They may have taken their regular meals‚ yet because they feel a sense of faintness‚ they think they need supper. By indulging in this wrong practice‚ it becomes a habit‚ and they feel as though they could not sleep without food. In many cases this faintness comes because the digestive organs have been severely taxed through the day in disposing of the quantities of food forced upon them. These organs need a period of entire rest from labor‚ to recover their exhausted energies. "When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee. And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite. Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat." —Proverbs 23:1-3
There should not be many kinds of food at any one meal‚ but all meals should not be composed of the same kinds of food without variation. Food should be prepared with simplicity‚ yet with an attractiveness which will invite the appetite. The simpler our diet and the closer we eat food as it is found in nature‚ the better our digestion, assimilation and health will be. Every food requires a different digestive enzyme combination and mixing too many at one time causes a disturbance in the stomach and renders the digestion less efficient.
that ruin the stomach‚ and place human beings in a position where they become invalids. Dumb animals would never eat such a mixture as is often placed in the human stomach.
We should not think that it is of but little consequence what we eat as long as it is vegetarian. The preparation of combining food to make it wholesome and delicious is a science that is to be received as wisdom from Yahuwah. All those who prepare food need to learn how to learn the science of good food combining or else the body may many times be unknowingly robbed of nutrition.
• Have Fruit at Separate Meals from Vegetables
Fruit is especially recommended as a health-giving agency‚ but it should not be eaten after a full meal of other foods. Fruit digests quickly‚ and when eaten after a full meal it causes fermentation in the stomach.
•Eat More Live Food
Stop drinking about half an hour before a meal and wait about one hour after a meal. When food eaten is washed down by liquid, the saliva, gastric and intestinal juices are diluted thus digestion is weakened.
•Avoid Salty Foods
Cold paralyzes the stomach. If food is cold‚ vitality must be drawn from the system to warm the food before digestion can take place. The colder the water‚ the greater the injury caused to the stomach. Cold liquids taken with meals will arrest digestion until the system has imparted sufficient warmth to the stomach to enable it to take up its work again.
Heat debilitates the stomach and creates acidity. The stomach is greatly injured by a large quantity of hot food and hot drink. Thus the throat and digestive organs‚ and through them the other organs of the body‚ are enfeebled. The practice of eating food as hot as it can be swallowed‚ and especially of taking hot drinks with or after meals is an active cause of constipation. "O taste and see that Yahuwah is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him." —Psalm 34:8
It is important that you relish what you eat. If you eat mechanically‚ your body will fail to receive proper nourishment.
For food to be well digested, enzymes and digestive juices must be secreted in the right amount‚ at the right time. If you are not hungry‚ or are not enjoying the food‚ the digestive juices will not flow properly‚ thus the food will be poorly digested. Assimilation is enhanced when we enjoy the meal. "Better is a dinner of herbs where love is‚ than a stalled ox and hatred therewith" (Proverbs 15:17).
Neurophysiologists have found that people who eat with a grateful heart experience more efficient and complete digestion than those who are distracted when they eat. Being thankful for the food increases gastro-intestinal mobility‚ digestive enzymes and acid production. Eating with a grateful heart does not only entail saying grace before the meal and then eating while watching TV‚ reading a magazine‚ or having an intense discussion with a companion. It means being grateful for your food one bite at a time.You have a deadline to finish. You decide to stifle the yawn and push through the night. Sure it is already late‚ but you drink some coffee and keep going. Your body‚ of course‚ is fighting you every step of the way. Whether you realize it or not‚ your brain has already started to check out for the night. After about 18 hours without sleep‚ your reaction time begins to slow from ¼ of a second to ½ a second and then longer.
Who Can We Blame for Not Getting Enough Sleep?
It should be Thomas Edison. Before he invented the light bulb people slept an average of ten hours per night. Today the average is seven hours or less as we have learned to ignore the body's call for sleep.
When we are thirsty; we drink. When we are hungry; we eat. But when we are tired; we often work abusing our bodies to the point of exhaustion. This is one of the greatest hindrances to recovery.
Rest is one of the most basic healers known to humanity. When we become sick‚ what is the thing we want most to do? To lie down. Nature will restore vigor and strength during sleep hours‚ if her laws are not violated.
"… if he sleep, he shall do well." —John 11:12
Nature will restore your vigor & strength when you sleep, if her laws are not violated.
How Much Sleep Should I Get?
After following over one million participants for six years, the largest study on sleep duration and mortality found that those who slept about seven hours had the highest survival rate. Those who slept less than 4.5 hours had the worst. Nine hours of sleep or more each night was also associated with a higher mortality risk (Proverbs 20:13). Experts tend to agree that the majority of people require about eight hours of sleep each night.
How Can I Sleep Better?
To sleep well, you need to work well. "The sleep of a laboring man is sweet‚ whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep" (Ecclesiastes 5:12). Idleness is the cause of many diseases. Rather than taking a harmful sleeping pill‚ make sure to do strenuous outdoor physical labor every day.
Abstain from all stimulants (caffeine‚ alcohol‚ tobacco‚ spicy foods). Avoid eating anything a couple hours before bedtime.
Regular times for going to bed and rising are very helpful. The best time to go to bed is between 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM. Deepest sleep is between 9.00 PM to 12.00 AM. The body‚ particularly the adrenals‚ recharges the most during 11:00 PM to 1:00 AM.
Make sure your eyes are exposed to sunlight every morning, this enhances melatonin-production. Sleep in complete darkness (cover your eyes so no light penetrates). Even a little light during the night can disrupt your circadian rhythm and your pineal gland's production of melatonin (your body's number one anti-aging hormone) and serotonin (your happiness hormone).
A relaxing soak in warm water will help you unwind after a stressful day. Have a cup or two of your preferred choice of a calming herbal tea.
Rest Embraces Much More Than a Good Night's Sleep
"Come ye yourselves apart … and rest a while" (Mark 6:31). It is important to take time for rest‚ contemplation, and recreation (not for amusement). Recreation is re-creative; it refreshes the mind and the body enabling us to return with new vigor to the earnest work of life. Amusement, on the other hand, is sought for the sake of pleasure and is often carried to excess; it absorbs the energies that are required for useful work and thus proves a hindrance to life's true success.
Recreation is needful for those who are engaged in physical labor and is still more essential for those whose labor is principally mental. Recreation that benefits those around you is most beneficial. Spending time outdoors in nature in some form of physical exercise is an excellent form of recreation (hiking‚ picnicking‚ swimming‚ etc.).
Watching TV is not a good source of recreation. An analysis of thirty-five different scientific studies has identified no fewer than fifteen negative health effects associated with watching long hours of television. Among these effects are heart trouble, cancer, diabetes, autism, Alzheimer's disease, eyesight damage, and sleeping difficulties.
The Sabbath
"There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of Yahuwah. For he that is entered into his rest‚ he also hath ceased from his own works‚ as Yahuwahdid from his." —Hebrews 4:9‚ 10
"Six days shalt thou labour‚ and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Yahuwah your Eloah: in it thou shalt not do any work‚ thou‚ nor thy son‚ nor thy daughter‚ thy manservant‚ nor thy maidservant‚ nor thy cattle‚ nor thy stranger that is within thy gates." —Exodus 20:9‚ 10
"Trust in Yahuwah with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." —Proverbs 3:5, 6
Your body was designed to deal with stress only in infrequent emergencies (fight-or-flight) by
releasing hormones. You were not created to cope with chronic stress on a daily basis. Every drop of these stress hormones unduly pumped in the body is a poison that gradually destroys your immune system. The continual release of these hormones raises your blood pressure and blood sugar increasing your risk of heart disease and diabetes. Stress is caused by fear and worry due to a lack of trust. If you would but realize that not a sigh that is breathed‚ not a pain that is felt‚ not a grief that pierces the soul‚ but the throb vibrates to your loving Heavenly Father's heart, you would never fail to trust Him knowing that everything that comes your way is permitted by Him for your good. You may be as weak as was the woman who touched the hem of Yahushua's garment; but if you feel your dependence upon Him and come to Him trusting in faith, He will respond as quickly as He did to that touch of faith. The hour of man's necessity is Yahuwah's opportunity.
The hour of man's necessity is Yahuwah's opportunity.
"Come unto me‚ all ye that labour and are heavy laden‚ and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you‚ and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy‚ and my burden is light." —Matthew 11:28-30, emphasis added
"With men it is impossible‚ but not with Yahuwah: for with Yahuwah all things are possible."
—Mark 10:27
"Behold‚ I am the Yahuwah‚ the Eloah of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?"
—Jeremiah 32:27
Yahushua said: "If ye abide in me‚ and my words abide in you‚ ye shall ask what ye will‚ and it shall be done unto you." —John 15:7 emphasis added
"And whatsoever we ask‚ we receive of him‚ because we keep his commandments‚ and do those things that are pleasing in his sight." —1 John 3:22
"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee." —Isaiah 26:3
"He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still." —Psalm 107:29
Healing Cannot Take Place Without Yahuwah
It is Yahuwah's healing power that runs through all nature. If a tree is cut, a bone broken or finger wounded‚ nature begins at once to repair the injury. Even before the need exists‚ the healing agencies are in readiness to accomplish their work of restoration.
When any part of the body sustains injury‚ a healing process at once begins; nature's agencies are set at work to restore soundness. But the power working through these agencies is the power of Yahuwah working to keep us alive‚ to build up and restore us. All life-giving power is from Him. When one recovers from disease‚ it is Yahuwah who restores him. Sickness‚ suffering‚ and death are all works of an antagonistic power.

Most Effective Neglected Agency for Combating Disease
At this point‚ it would be futile to stop here without addressing the power of your mind for the restoration and health.
The thoughts in the mind need to be controlled‚ for they have a most powerful influence upon the health and are the most effective agency for combating disease. The electric power of the brain‚ promoted by mental activity‚ vitalizes the whole system‚ and thus is the most invaluable aid in resisting disease.
To array someone's mind against sickness‚ is the supreme art of medicine. Inspire in a person courage and purpose‚ and the mind-power will cast out disease. Willpower is another name for life force. Men with great willpower resist and combat disease. The imagination often misleads‚ and when indulged‚ brings severe forms of disease upon the afflicted.
Sickness of the mind prevails everywhere. Nine tenths of the diseases from which we suffer have their foundation here. Ninety percent of illnesses are mentally triggered—mostly due to stress and guilt.
What Is the Best Medicine for Diseased Bodies and Minds?

1. FORGIVING
One cannot experience the full blessing of health without having first experienced Yahuwah's forgiveness. Remember that sin is the first cause of disease because if sin had not existed neither would have disease. The burden of guilt, with its unrest and unsatisfied desires, is the foundation of many maladies.
In the Bible‚ the paralytic found in Yahushua healing for both the soul and the body. The spiritual healing preceded the physical restoration. This lesson should not be overlooked; forgiveness is connected with physical healing. There is inexpressible peace and joy and rest in the consciousness of sins forgiven. There are today thousands suffering from physical disease‚ who‚ like the paralytic‚ are longing for the message‚ "Thy sins are forgiven." They can find no relief until they come to the Healer of the soul. The peace which He alone can give imparts vigor to the mind‚ and health to the body.
Yahuwah promises that "If we confess our sins‚ He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins‚ and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9). "Return unto Yahuwah thy Eloah; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. Take with you words‚ and turn to Yahuwah; say unto him‚ Take away all iniquity‚ and receive us graciously." Yahuwah answers‚ "I will heal their backsliding‚ I will love them freely; for mine anger is turned away from him" (Hosea 14:1, 2, 4). What can make a heart so light‚ what can spread so much sunshine through the soul‚ as the sense of sins forgiven? The peace of Yahushua is life and health.
"An unforgiving heart cannot be healed."
2. A CLEAR CONSCIENCE
"My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh." —Proverbs 4:20-22
3. A HAPPY HEART
"The joy of Yahuwah is your strength." —Nehemiah 8:10
"All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast."
—Proverbs 15:15
"Finally‚ brethren‚ whatsoever things are true‚ whatsoever things are honest‚ whatsoever things are just‚ whatsoever things are pure‚ whatsoever things are lovely‚ whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue‚ and if there be any praise‚ think on these things." —Philippians 4:8
4. GRATITUDE
"Be careful for nothing [be anxious about nothing]; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto Yahuwah." —Philippians 4:6
"Delight thyself also in Yahuwah; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart."
—Psalm 37:4, emphasis added
5. THE POWER OF PRAYER
Do not be stressed; instead take your problems to Yahuwah in prayer. Keep your wants‚ your joys‚ your sorrows‚ your cares‚ and your fears before your Father in heaven. You cannot burden Him; you cannot weary Him. He who numbers the hairs of your head is not indifferent to the wants of His children. "Yahuwah is very pitiful‚ and of tender mercy" (James 5:11). His heart of love is touched by our sorrows and even by our utterances of them. Take to Him everything that perplexes the mind. Nothing‚ is too great for Him to bear‚ for He holds up worlds‚ He rules over all the affairs of the universe. Nothing that in any way concerns our peace is too small for Him to notice. There is no chapter in our experience too dark for Him to read; there is no perplexity too difficult for Him to unravel. No calamity can befall the least of His children‚ no anxiety harass the soul‚ no joy or cheer‚ no sincere prayer escape the lips‚ of which our heavenly Father is unobservant‚ or in which He takes no immediate interest. "He healeth the broken in heart‚ and bindeth up their wounds" (Psalm 147:3)
The relation between Yahuwah and each soul is as distinct and full as though there were not another soul upon the earth to share His watch-care‚ not another soul for whom He gave His beloved Son.
He who numbers the hairs of your head is not indifferent to the wants of His children.
"… but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it." —Hebrews 4:2

THE GOLDEN RULE:
Scientists put groups of rabbits in cages, fed them high-cholesterol foods for several months, and then tested them. For the most part, the results were not surprising. Because of their poor diet, the rabbits had greatly elevated cholesterol in their veins and arteries. All of them but the ones in the lower cage. The researchers wondered why only these rabbits were not affected by the poor diet? The researchers checked further and found that one of the female lab attendants had taken a liking to the rabbits in this cage. "Giving love is a powerful healer."
7. SAMARITAN WORK
"Is not this the fast that I have chosen? To loose the bands of wickedness‚ to undo the heavy burdens‚ and to let the oppressed go free‚ and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry‚ and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked‚ that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? Then shall thy light break forth as the morning‚ and thine health shall spring forth speedily." —Isaiah 58:6-8
to give up the struggle for life when he heard the moans of a fellow-traveler, who was also perishing with cold. His sympathy was aroused, and he determined to rescue him. He chafed the ice-cold limbs of the unfortunate man, and after considerable effort raised him to his feet. As the sufferer could not stand, he bore him in sympathizing arms through the very drifts he had thought he could never get through alone. An aimless life is a living death.
8. SWEET WORDS
"Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones." —Proverbs 16:24
In their book Food and Love‚ Gary Smalley and Rex Russell compiled the following research that was most revealing: "There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health."
—Proverbs 12:18
"A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." —Proverbs 18:20‚ 21
How Can I Make Sure That My Words Are a Good Influence?
If your thoughts are right, then yours words will be right. It is best for every soul to closely investigate what mental food we serve our brains to chew on. Slanderous speeches, is a form of cannibalism, will not be spoken by those who are feeding on that which is the Bread of Life. When one gives place to an angry spirit, he is just as intoxicated as a drunkard.
"Getting angry is like taking a small dose of some slow-acting poison every day of your life."
—Redford Williams, M.D., Anger Kills
HOW TO CHANGE?
Address Your Health or It Will Address You
In 2006, in Beijing‚ a 35-year-old Chinese man‚ wanted by police on gun charges‚ surrendered himself after hiding in a cave constructed at the back of his house for eight years. After eight years‚ in spite of the possibility of a death sentence‚ the man finally gave himself up to police after no longer being able to cope with the "psychological pressure."
The harvest of our lifestyle habits inevitably reaps itself in the condition of our health. If we choose not to change bad habits‚ we are as the man hiding in the cave pretending to be free when really in bondage to the inevitable.
Delay is the worst enemy for reform. It is essential to examine where you fail‚ and then commence the work of reform earnestly without delay one small step at a time. Make an effort to carefully preserve the remaining strength of your vital force‚ by lifting off every transgression of Yahuwah's physical and moral laws. The timing of your reform will tell in favor of your success; delay and neglect will only make it more difficult.
Ask For the Grace of Yahuwah
The most profound and long-lasting changes in our behavior come as we look to Yahuwah for help. Never are we to lose sight of Him. "Without Me," Yahushua says, "you can do nothing." Remember this (John 15:5). When you know Yahushua personally, the Holy Spirit of Yahuwah will dwell in your heart. As such you will have a source of strength and power to make great changes in your life.
If you are conscious of an area in your life that needs to change, talk to Yahuwah about it and commit the change you desire to make to Him. When you depend on His strength and not your own, He will never fail you.
If you are sick and want to recover‚ the change must be dramatic and complete. Ask in faith for the strength of character needed to make the reform and Yahuwah will give you the power to will and to do. The Word teaches us, "I can do all things through Yahushua which strengtheneth me." (Philippians 4:13).
We need to learn that the blessings of obedience‚ in their fullness‚ can be ours only as we receive the grace of Yahushua. It is His grace that gives us power to obey the laws of Yahuwah. It is this that enables us to break the bondage of evil habits. This is the only power that can make us and keep us steadfast in the right path.
Yahuwah in His wisdom has created human beings with all the potential to grow and change. The greatest thing any person can do to improve his habits is to submit himself to his Creator. As he does this he will begin to grow into the likeness of Yahushua Himself who kept all His Father's moral and physical health laws.
Adopt the Right Mindset
"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he." —Proverbs 23:7
"If we did all the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves."
—Thomas A. Edison
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of Yahuwah, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto Yahuwah, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of Yahuwah." —Romans 12:1, 2, emphasis added
Deuteronomy 22:11
Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together.
Scripture prescribes the wearing of garments made of unmixed material - which some say is an outdated requirement. But is it?
With all the electro magnetic fields EMFs from electrical wiring in our homes, WiFi, smart everything and the advancing 5G technology 'frying' everyone, are we not 'killing' ourselves by not obeying it and ALL the other 'so called outdated' commandments? [except of course the sacrifices and oblations which ended at the cross - Dan. 9:27].
In case you didn't know, because you have been taught otherwise, Yahushua Himself commands us to keep them all - in His provided power and faith -

Linen is made from the flax plant - Rahab had bundles of it drying on her roof and hid the Isrealite spies in Jericho. She helped them escape via a scarlet rope made from it and hung it in her window as a marker when they attacked and rescued her. She later married Caleb and joined the lineage from which Yahushua was born! Look up 'flax' and linen in scripture.......... now look at the 'modern' evidence.......
