Grapes for your Health

“And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.” – I Samuel 30:11 – 12

The argument for red wine is strong among some believers largely because of the acclaimed health benefits. Red wines have been so proclaimed as having healthy benefits because of its resveratrol content. Resveratrol is a polyphenol that is very beneficial to the human heart as shown by various studies.

A bottle of wine has about 12mg of resveratrol at most and animal studies reveal that about 500mg of resveratrol is required for a daily dose which will mean an average of 40 bottles of wine must be consumed to achieve the healthy required dosage.

However, resveratrol are found in red and purple grapes. They are anti-oxidants who handle free radicals and are able to help cell maintenance as well as prevent diseases like cancers especially those of the lungs, colon, and esophageal. Resveratrol taken moderately will help in your weight management as they make fat cells disintegrate at a high rate.

Very common among the benefit of resveratrol is the benefit to the human heart. It does help the dilation of blood vessel thereby helping easy passage of blood. It lowers blood pressure by relaxing the walls of blood vessels causing a mild extension in diameter.

One of its greatest benefits is its ability to handle inflammation. It is also a brain-healthy food as it helps blood flow to the brain.

The story from the above scripture was that of a man who had been sick for three days without food and left to die by his master. David found him and needed him alive to help in restoring all the enemies had carted away. Among the several things that was administered to the young man were raisins. Raisins are dried grapes.

Many people are familiar with raisins in cake and bread but do not know of their ability to boost energy. In place of glucose D given to athletes, raisins come in handy for that instant energy. The nutrients in raisins are concentrated because they are dehydrated grapes making them a rich source of iron, potassium and B vitamins.

God has provided for all that we would need for life and sound health.

WHY CHRISTIANS FALL SICK

By
I must pay tribute and give dues to great Christians who have taken time to deal with the above topic. Some of them did after encounters with sicknesses and near-death experiences but the Lord had mercy on them and allowed them to put pen on paper for generations to come so we may understand God wants us whole and healthy. I will first acknowledge the works of Dr. George Makmus, founder of the Hallelujah Acres and the Hallelujah Diet who was diagnosed of colon cancer and went on to find out from the scriptures and science why “he” a Christian should get sick. He later wrote the book “Why Christians Get Sick” (It can be obtained from leading bookshops and online from Amazon.com). Secondly, I met Rev Tony Akinyemi over a decade ago and I believe strongly that my working with him is nothing but divine arrangement. He it was that first introduced my wife and I to the concept of healthy living. Rev Tony Akinyemi at the age of 36 with a budding ministry in the heart of Lagos was d...

PROTECT YOURSELF AND LOVED ONES FROM EBOLA

By
As Lagos records the first case of Ebola incidence, it has become pertinent to arouse public interest and educate people on the need for prevention as treatment and cure of the disease is not too clear to medical science as at 2014. The Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) or Ebola Haemorrhagic Fever (EHF) first appeared during two 1976 outbreaks in Africa. Ebola gets its name from the Ebola River, which is near one of the villages in the Democratic Republic of Congo where the disease first appeared. Usually an outbreak starts when someone comes into contact with the body fluids or waste of infected animals, such as monkeys, chimps, or fruit bats. Once a person is infected, he or she can then spread it to others. There are five different types of Ebola virus that cause the disease. Four of them are known to cause the disease in humans. The American Centre for Disease Control states that “the prevention of Ebola HF presents many challenges. Because it is still unknown how exac...

FAITH, HEALTH & HEALING DEVOTIONAL - DAY 11

You Need Bacteria “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies….” – Psalm 23:5 David saw God preparing his table in the presence of his enemies. They have an important role to play in your lifting. Bacteria would be considered enemies of the human health but they serve several beneficial purposes to the body. There are about 100 Trillion bacteria in the human body while there are about 1 Quadrillion viruses (Bacteriophages) present in the human microbiome. The bacteria would outnumber the human cells by 10 to 1 while the viruses outnumber the bacteria by almost the same margin. Several researches have demonstrated the importance of bacteria to human health. There are several bacteria that promote infections and diseases in the human body but there are also several bacteria responsible for many critical functions in the human body. Bacteria are responsible for the breaking down of food particles in the body which when absent can lead to obesity...
