When you receive the Seal you will begin to take care of your health. But you will find that changing your diet will be more effective than getting exercise in preventing disease and even feeling better.




Exercise can be invigorating. It can ward off the blues when you are feeling a little down. It can even build confidence. So it has some emotional or mental benefits. But the real physical benefits of exercise are overrated. The problem is all the scientific studies with results touting the benefits of exercise are still ambiguous. The results are not black-and-white. There is a lot of gray area, a lot of questions left unanswered.



For instance, people who exercise are usually non-smokers. So results of studies are often skewed. Are they really a group with better health because they exercise, or is their health better because most of them do not smoke? And people who exercise often eat a different diet than people who are sedentary. It does not take years for a poor diet to begin to affect your health. Studies do clearly show that some poor food choices affect your body's health within moments.



You are what you eat. The food you eat determines your health immediately because it is nourishing you now. If you eat an unhealthy meal, your body really only has hours until it needs better nutrition.



So if you keep eating unhealthy foods for years your body never has the nutrition it needs. And that takes its toll on your health, opening the door to a wide variety of diseases that could be prevented by eating better.



You may think exercise greatly benefits older people. It may give them more stamina so they can stay more active for a longer time. Perhaps. But exercise does not really protect against osteoporosis like you may have heard it does. If you want to avoid getting heart disease exercise may help, but only a little. It really only helps those who start to walk every day after they have been completely sedentary for years.



Moderate exercise lowers their risk of heart disease. But more vigorous exercise is practically wasted effort when it comes to preventing heart disease. The increased protection is minimal. And exercise is not a clear-cut solution to cancer either. Studies disagree on whether exercise really helps. But there are many foods which are proven to fight the spread of cancer within your body.



Moderate exercise can help you to stave off Type 2 diabetes. If you start to walk every day it is proven you can prevent the onset of diabetes. But surely diet is crucial to the prevention of diabetes, even more important than getting exercise.



If you want to lower your blood pressure you need to lose weight. Exercise will not lower your blood pressure if you do not lose the extra weight. Blood pressure again is dependent largely on diet. And weight loss itself is achieved through changes in diet, and not through exercise. Exercise can help you lose weight. But only when you drastically change your diet. You will not lose weight without cutting calories, even when you exercise vigorously.



When you are sealed you will want to know what you can do to take care of your health better. You can stay healthy from day to day and prevent the major diseases by changing your diet. Exercise will not help much.



But spiritual exercise will help. When you are sealed you will have new spiritual Life. God will give you new Life, and He wants you to have a longer and better life when you receive the Seal.
