How Should Christians Eat

In today's fast-paced world, the choices we make about what we eat can have profound implications for our health, our spiritual well-being, and our relationship with God. But what does the Bible say about how Christians should eat and what they should eat?

What Should Christians Eat?
As Christians, we understand that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and how we care for them matters. Let's explore what the Bible says about our diet and eating habits.

First and foremost, the Bible emphasizes the importance of self-control. In Proverbs 23:20-21, it says, 'Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags.

This verse reminds us that overindulgence in food or drink can lead to physical and spiritual harm. Instead, we should strive for balance in our eating habits. I like to refer to this as being satisfied. Satisfied in what He has given us, satisfied in how our body feels when we stop before over indulging.

What Should Christians Eat

Second, the Bible encourages us to prioritize whole, natural foods. In Genesis 1:29, God says, 'Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food.

God's original plan for humanity's diet consisted of fruits, vegetables, grains, and nuts—nourishing foods that provide essential nutrients for our bodies.

Biblical Eating Principles

By choosing foods that are 1. Designed by God and real food. 2. As close to his design as possible, and 3. Don’t let any food become an addiction, we can then see at our meal times opportunities for thanksgiving and fellowship, we honor God's creation and demonstrate stewardship of the resources He has given us.

Foods designed in a laboratory are exactly that – lab experiments. When a package says beyond beef – it is totally beyond anything you should eat. If it says – I can’t believe its not – then its not. Avoid If the label has words that are not food – its not food.

Real food is real. We can identify it, we can know it is best.

I asked God to teach me His ways & to lead me to watch the things He wants me to know.
To be honest I was setting here eating a big bowl of ice cream!
Which is fine if it was every great once in a while but I've done it every day for a week! Pure sugar!
Your video just popped up in my feed today. Thank you!!

Dear Annette, Thank you for Gen 1:29!
I knew something was wrong with those seedless grapes that flooded the groceries here in São Paulo, Brazil a few years ago. I refuse them though they are even sweeter than the regular seeded grapes, only because I know they are manmade. The seeds in a grape should be eaten together with the grape berry itself and not be discarded as a waste. Each little seed is loaded with fatty acids, fenolic compound tocopherol Vit E, proanthocyanidin, flavonoids and resveratrol. This one example of a seed in a fruit and when eaten together as they were meant is how I see how very effective and gracious way God give us medicine while we enjoy the sweetness that disguises the bitterness of all those powerful and restorative nutrients in the seeds. God bless you, from Brazil !

As a vegetarian, most of the meat substitutes don't make me feel good. I eat it only occasionally. I love my fruits and veggies. IDK why people stop eating meat and then have to replace it with something fake that looks like meat and often complain that nothing tastes close enough to meat to satisfy them. I want to know that I can't possibly be eating meat. To me, fake burgers are too much like meat. Fruits and veggies are more refreshing.

[SoulfulSmokie]

Thank God what he created for our bodies is absolutely best. We don't need processed nor ultra processed food.

"Food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do." - 1 cor 8:8

We should just be careful not to make others stumble with what we eat (romans 14), not offend others by doing things that they think is wrong (1 cor 10) and not to go against our own conscience (romans 14).
The bible also advices to not eat too much honey (though it isn't a commandment): "If you have found honey, eat only enough for you, lest you have your fill of it and vomit it." Proverbs 25
We also shouldn't" be gluttons, idolizing food: "Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry." col 3:5

Thought I'd share what i found when i researched this topic. God bless y'all.

[_second_history-ro]

I was doing good wathcing what i eat, listening to my body when it said my stomach was full, etc. And i was feeling better. Than we had campmeeting for 2 weeks and i was off my diet. And I'm feeling it 😂😂

Thank you for the mindset using Genesis1:29! Being a drunkard or glutton leads to being poor wearing rags is certainly something to think about! It is inspiring to continue eating God’s foods! God gave us foods including seeds; the seeds foods are chemically altered and should be avoided. This information is all so supportive! 😊❤
