Quotes and Contemplations -- Wisdom for your soul
“I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty." Jesus the Christ (John 6:35)
"Let food be your medicine." Hippocrates
"Every one must study his own nature. Some of you can sustain life with less food than others can, and therefore I desire that he who needs more nourishment shall not be obliged to equal others, but that every one shall give his body what it needs for being an efficient servant of the soul. For as we are obliged to be on our guard against superfluous food which injures body and soul alike..." Francis of Assisi

The Food and Mental Health Connection
Did you know that there's is a connnection between food and mental health?
All aspects of our being; spiritual, emotional and physical; requires proper nourishment. Jesus through the word and prayer feeds us spiritually, safe and nurturing relationships feed us emotionally, and nutritionally dense foods like fruits and vegetables feed us physically. We need all of the above to be healthy, strong and stable individuals.
One key to better overall health however is understanding that the spiritual, physical and emotional aspects of our being cannot be separated from one another. Our spiritual self does not stand alone, nor does our physical and emotional selves. If we are not feeding ourselves properly spiritually, we may become anxious or depressed. Likewise, if we are not physically taking care of our bodies our spiritual and emotional health is likely to suffer.
And that brings me to the point of this article, what food we feed our bodies matters a great deal not only to our physical health but our emotional health as well. Sadly we live in a culture where processed and fast foods are the norm. They fit our busy "got to have it now" lifestyles. But did you know that panic attacks, depression, angry outbursts, irritability and moodswings can all be brought on by nutritional defects? Not to mention that the cost of depression and obesity is over $150 billion dollars annually in this country alone. Click here to continue reading this article.
