So what is the Microbiome? It is a gift from our loving God that can help us live healthy lives…unless we do not follow what God has already created for us. Yes the foods we choose to eat, or not eat, play a huge part in whether we are helping or hurting this Microbiome, but it is not the only thing…we will continue talking about this next week…for today, I want us to realize just how amazing God has created our bodies to be….then stop and give thanks!
These secret inhabitants are not humans. They do not have a mind to discern the right things from the wrong. They simply do what they were created to do…and when their environment changes, they change too to adapt. Are we helping them help us, or are we making poor food choices that force them to react in ways that are hurtful to our health?
Again I hope this opens up your appetite to do some research! There is so much good information available on this topic that I cannot possibly share it all with you…especially as I am still learning about it every day myself. But I shouldn’t have to do the work for you…part of loving God back is respecting this body so much that we want to know all we can to be as healthy as we can.
My Friends, this is part of that “fearfully and wonderfully made” truth. Be awed at how God created you, give Him thanks for how amazing we are, but then do the research required to be able to make the best choices to honor what God has made.
<>< Peace, Diane
