“Please test us for ten days on a diet of vegetables and water,” Daniel said. “At the end of the ten days, see how we look compared to the other young men who are eating the king’s food. Then make your decision in light of what you see.” The attendant agreed to Daniel’s suggestion and tested them for ten days. At the end of the ten days, Daniel and his three friends looked healthier and better nourished than the young men who had been eating the food assigned by the king.

Daniel 1:12-15

Today we make similar mistake as some of the Greek Philosophies did thousands of years ago. Aristotle, Socrates, & Plato believed in dualism, which included the idea that your mind is important, but not your body. They devalued body. Some Greek philosophers taught that your body is evil, so it didn’t really matter if you messed it up.

Bible teaches the opposite — your body is holy, because God created it, and everything God creates HAS A PURPOSE!
