15 min left of the "lunch break" in the wholiopathic seminar I am taking today. The college head of New Eden School of Natural Health and Herbal Medicine, the college I took my NHP training through, made a few good points this morning:

1) Pray and praise before you eat, exercise, or even take supplements! Your body IS the Temple of the Holy Spirit, so treat it that way by including and thanking God for the means He has provided to maintain your health, and expect Him to work through those means as you do your part in using them.

2) As I get a kick out of the freak-out of western nations over the concept of eating crickets, Dr De Santis (not the Florida governor) reminded everyone that God DID give His blessing on eating crickets/locusts/grasshoppers/etc. He broke down the nutritional profile of these critters and then said, "if you get a locust swarm through your area? Eat them!!" Yes such swarms eat up every grain and green thing in sight, so set out your nets, then roast, grind and eat THEM instead! He then pointed out what I have said on occasion recently, that western nations are really the only ones who don't already include insects in our diets to any degree short of the ocean-based insects (lobster, crab, shrimp, etc). Westerners have no trouble eating ocean insects and even pay big money at restaurants to have them on the platter. But oh no, the media MUST whip everyone up against the idea!!! I guess they forgot about the chocolate-covered grasshoppers from the 70's and '80's.

3) Daily getting outside into fresh air and green grass/etc is beneficial to the body and mind/soul/emotions as well.

Sessions resume in a few minutes here.
