Why Modern Food Is Killing Us | Our Food Has Changed (And What To Do)

Why Modern Food Is Killing Us | Our Food Has Changed (And What To Do) This episode of The Biblical Nutritionist Podcast will open your eyes to how drastically our food has changed—and what you can do to reclaim your health. Let's dive into the difference between the wholesome foods God created and the processed, nutrient-deficient options dominating modern diets. How Modern Food Differs from Biblical Nutrition In Genesis, God called seed-bearing plants and clean meats "good," providing us with balanced, natural sources of nourishment. Fast forward to today, and much of what we consume barely resembles those original foods. Modern food has been: Highly Processed: Stripped of nutrients and filled with additives that harm our bodies. Genetically Modified: Altered in ways that disconnect us from the natural balance God designed. Over-Refined: Grains lose fiber, minerals, and vitamins, resulting in empty calories. What the Bible and Science Say About Healthy Eating Dr. Rex Russell's three principles for eating biblically sound foods can help us cut through dietary confusion: 1. Eat What God Called Good: Focus on whole, unprocessed foods like fruits, vegetables, grains, and clean meats. 2. Consume Foods in Their Natural State: Avoid over-refining or over-processing. 3. Avoid Food Idolatry: Don't let cravings or diet trends dominate your choices.   Modern science supports these principles. Research shows that nutrient-dense, whole foods improve digestion, immunity, and mental health, while processed foods contribute to inflammation, obesity, and chronic illness. What You Can Do to Protect Your Health 1. Go Back to Basics: Choose foods as close to their natural form as possible. Replace store-bought bread with fresh-milled flour or whole grains. 2. Learn Proper Preparation: Soak beans, sprout grains, and eat foods in traditional ways that minimize harmful compounds like lectins or phytic acid. 3. Avoid Additives and Preservatives: Read labels and prioritize foods free of artificial ingredients.   By aligning your diet with God's design, you can nourish your body and soul while avoiding the pitfalls of modern food.   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Did this episode bless you? We are grateful for the support of our ministry partners, whose kindness and generosity make teachings like this possible.
