"Daniel then said to the guard whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, “Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see.” So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days.
At the end of the ten days they looked healthier & better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food. So the guard took away their choice food & the wine they were to drink & gave them vegetables instead." ~ Daniel 1:11-16
Have you ever asked yourself, "How and when did we get so far from what God intended regarding how we live and how we maintain (or don't) our health?
