🪜 Your daily steps
Each step is one of the eight laws of health in action.
- NutritionChoose whole, plant-based ingredients: whole grains, legumes, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Minimize processed foods and refined sugars.
- TemperanceEat meals at regular times and enjoy reasonable portions. Nourishing food satisfies deeply — there is no need for excess.
- ExerciseCooking itself is a practice — take time in the kitchen as a form of mindful work. Growing food, if you can, adds another layer of blessing.
- SunshineChoose fresh seasonal produce whenever possible. Food that has seen good sunlight carries more life and nutrients.
- AirCook with well-ventilated kitchens and eat in environments with good air circulation. The atmosphere around eating matters.
- RestMake mealtimes a time of rest and togetherness — no rushing. Let meals be a break from the day's stress.
- Trust in GodGive thanks before eating. Whether therefore ye eat, or drink... do all to the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31).
💛 A word of encouragement
