Get Healthy!

The Health Deceptions articles on this site give us many examples of foods, drinks, and practices that are harmful. When we hear this type of news, it is easy to respond with extreme actions. For example, when we find we have been eating the wrong kinds of foods, we may rush to the kitchen and completely empty the cupboards. After all, if it’s not good, get rid of it!

Unless you are suffering from a life-threatening disease, I would not recommend such a radical dietary change. Over the years, I have found that the most successful way to change a wrong habit is to focus on adding a right habit.

There is a principle of thought which needs to be considered here: “Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good” (Romans 12:21). Bad habits, which make us feel good, need to be dealt with by adding good habits that make us feel good. In other words, do not focus on giving up or quitting, but rather on adding.

Jesus constantly saw the good in people; He saw what they could become if their hearts were surrendered. Isaiah put it like this: “A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench” (Isaiah 42:3). We all know the bad habits or character traits we do not like in ourselves, but just as Jesus did not focus on the weak points of those struggling to overcome, so we should not be focusing on our own weak points but rather focus on what we have that is good. Accentuate the positive.
