Faith-based diet books call for more than just fruits and veggies
Continued from page SB
While his first book, “Tlie
Maker’s Diet,” called for dra
matic diet changes, this
series was written for the
average person, interested in
making one change a day It
also gives more credence to
advanced hygiene—cleanse
your nasal passageways and
mucous membranes and use
an essential oil-based tooth
solution. It also calls for
reducing toxins in the ^vi-
ronment—be wary of chemi
cals in makeup and cleaning
products —and live a life of
prayer and purpose.
‘You can’t be healthy if you
only care for your physical
body 'Ihere is an emotional
side, a mental side, a spiritu
al side,” said Rubin, who lives
in West Palm Beach with his
wife and son.
Some scientists are also
acknowledging the link
between religion and health.
Dr. Harold G. Koenig, pro
fessor of psychiatry and
behavior sciences at Duke
University Medical Center
has conducted several studies
that show religious people
tend to have shorter hospital
stays, lower depression and
blood pressure rates and
longer life spans.
He attributes part of the
success of faith-based diets to
support from the religious
community
“If you have a faith commu
nity and you’re doing it aU
together and you can connect
it to your behef system, then
it makes it a lot easier to
change your behavior and
maintain that,” Koenig said.
Health experts say its no
surprise that people are look
ing for a dose of religion with
their diets, considering rising
obesity rates. But they rec
ommend taking religious
dieting advice with a grain of
Gow sodiiun) salt and check
ing to see if the author has a
medical background.
