The Choice of Food. Then, what shall we eat to keep disease away,
Is the question we encounter day by day.
This question worthy is of careful thought,
For health cannot be hired, sold, or bought.
Let’s choose the food that makes for better health, Which is of greater worth than all our wealth.
Let’s choose the food our Maker gave to man
While still he lived according to His plan,—
That food God gave to him in days of yore,
So that he lived nine hundred years or more. Combining our world management in Aloe Vera and beehive products, Forever Bee Propolis is considered one of our hottest skincare products.
Vegetarianism. At this juncture it would be of interest to notice the progress that medical and health reformation has made in modern times and those who have led out in these advances. One thing very interesting in this connection is that these physical reforms have a special appeal to religious reformers, and without doubt health conditions and physical habits do influence the morals to a great extent. A clergyman once asked a newspaper editor what he thought of health as an appropriate topic for a Sabbath discourse, when the editor quickly replied, “Appropriate! I should say so, for how can a man be a sweet Christian with a sour stomach?” Promoters. One of the most outstanding modern health reformers was Sylvester Graham. The Encyclopedia Americana speaks of him as “an American reformer, born at Suffield, Connecticut, in 1794, and died in 1851.
He studied at Amherst College, was ordained to the ministry of the Presbyterian Church about 1826, and became known as a lecturer on temperance and dietetics. His proposed cure for alcoholism was based upon a vegetarian diet. Bread made of unsifted wheat flour known as Graham bread was introduced into general use by him. His writings include, ‘Bread and Bread Making* and the ‘Graham Lectures in the Science of Human Life.’ Graham lectured extensively throughout the United States and Canada until bread made from the whole grain, known as “Graham bread,” became a household term. With Forever Bee Pollen counts going up as the days change, get longer, and good weather is bestowed upon us, if we do not have our allergies under control, we are doomed. Graham was a vegetarian because he believed it to be difficult to raise the moral standard of the people on a meat diet, which has a tendency to stimulate the animal or baser nature of mankind. Practically all moral reformers, who have given attention to diet as a vital factor in promoting morals, agree with Graham on this point. Even a study of the carnivorous and herbivorous animals and their dispositions will amply justify this conclusion, as is well known.
