God is Love. 1 John 4:8. At creation, it was not God’s desire that man could fall sick, succumb under terrible pain of diseases and die. We can see this in His plan for the children of Israel, “And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I [am] the LORD that healeth thee”.

1 Thessalonians 5:23, 24. God’s desire is for you to have good health spiritually and physically. Verse 24. He says He will ensure you have the two. Hence He has a plan to keep you healthy.The plan he has is known as GODSPLAN. These are the 8 doctors of health or the natural laws of health. These laws are inscribed in your body. For spiritual health God gave the Ten Commandments. For physical health He gave the 8 laws of health.
7. WHAT ARE THE 8 LAWS OF HEALTH AND THERE SIGNIFICANCE TO OUR HEALTH?
G - Godly Trust - Isaiah 26:3 PERFECT PEACE The Opposite of perfect peace = stress =75 % of disease. Stress increases acid and makes the immunity of the body weak. Live without worry of future. Tell God to protect you and He will: 1Peter 5:7 casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you. Philippians 4:6 In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. Mark 11:24 Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.
O - Open Air and Cleanliness - Genesis 1:7, 8. Fresh and unpolluted air is mandatory particularly in your Bedroom. Deep breathing exercise every morning. Cleanliness - Leviticus 15:10 Whoever touches anything that was under him shall be unclean until the evening. He who carries those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. 11 "'Whoever he who has the discharge touches, without having rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the evening. 13 "'When he who has a discharge is cleansed of his discharge, then he shall count to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes; and he shall bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean.
D - Daily Exercise - Genesis 2:15 Take 30 Minutes for exercise daily always after meals. Lymphatic fluid is 3 times the volume of blood and the pump for it exercise. Walking and working on the farm are two best exercises that revives the organs of the body that’s why Adam was given Eden to take of it. Idleness brings sickness. When you sweat, the toxins, dirt in the body is removed via the skin hence living your body clean and healthy.
S - Sunshine - Genesis 1:3-4. Bask in the sun to 9am and from 4 pm to sunset for Vitamin D. Ecclesiastes 11:7 Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:. VITAMIN D control over 2500 life processes and help in the utilization of the mineral calcium in the body. Without it, your immunity will be impaired.
P - Plenty of Rest - Genesis 2:3 Psalms 104:19-23. Genetic repair happens from 10pm -12 midnight. 8 hours of rest every day and 24 hours of rest every week is the ideal prescription of God for repairing the body. God said: Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy from. Leviticus 23:32 Friday sunset to Saturday sun set so shall you keep the Sabbath. Jesus himself kept the Sabbath Holy and God kept him healthy Luke 4:16. Many of the diseases are brought about by disregarding God hence he takes away his protection because we don’t want him in our lives. Since no parent can force himself to their child, God can not force us to do anything but sadly remains far away from us as we reject him Isaiah 59:1, 2 The enemy changed the times and laws Daniel 7:25 and we need to go back to the times and laws of God if we want our bodies to have good health. Many people have left God and following men that’s why we are having many calamities and diseases. Deuteronomy 7:11-15
L - Lots of Water - Ezekiel 4:11. Drink water at set times and by measure. Your body 70% water. A - Always have Temperate and eat Food at a time - Gen 2:16-17. Exercise self- control in everything. 1 Corinthians 10:31 says we should be eating and drinking all to the glory of God. It is because of gluttony that Eve fell into sin Genesis 3:6-11
N - Nutrition - Gen 1:29 and Ezekiel 4:9-10 (grains and fruits with seeds in them) Gen 3:18 and psalms 104:14 (vegetables) Rev 22:1-2 (Fruits and Vegetables.) Before there were drugs there was nature. God knew the right fuel for our bodies. Your body will always be alkaline hence high in immunity and no diseases. Clogging your body with diesel (junk food) is a disaster. Isaiah 1:19 If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land. There is but one source of disease and that is IMPURE BLOOD. Pure blood is alkaline. The Ph. of the blood ranges between 7.35-7.45. when this range falls below 7 you will be at the risk of suffering acidosis. Parasites, viruses, bacteria, fungi and protozoans thrive in an acidic blood. WE MUST KNOW that flesh diet, dairy and poultry products, the use of processed sugar, GMO FOODS, processed and refined grains like wheat and rice, confectioneries, beverages, anger, stressful life, strife, jealousy, gossip and unkindness; all results to acidic blood causing an environment for disease to thrive. You need to win evil with good , Romans 12:21. Thru acts of kindness, feeding the hungry, helping the poor and showing compassion to people we gain health. We need further to sustain this alkaline blood by eating proper invigorating diet like: Dark green leafy vegetables, Non GMO foods-grains, fruits and vegetables. We need to be obedient to the Laws of Nature.
Health destroying Habits.
1. Eating between meals or snacking. You should never let any food pass your lips between your regular meals. Eat what you ought, but eat it at one meal, and then wait until the next( after 5 -6 hours)
2. Condition of the Mind at Meals. At meal-time cast off care and taxing thought. Do not be hurried, but eat slowly and with cheerfulness, your heart filled with gratitude to God for all his blessings. Take your time.
3. Hasty Eating. In order to have healthy digestion, food should be eaten slowly. Do not be hurried, but eat slowly and with cheerfulness, your heart filled with gratitude to God for all his blessings
4. Overeating. If more food is eaten than can be digested and appropriated, a decaying mass accumulates in the stomach, causing an offensive breath, and a bad taste in the mouth. The vital powers are exhausted in an effort to throw off the excess, and the brain is robbed of nerve force.
5. Drinking at Meals. Taken with meals, water diminishes the flow of the salivary glands; and the colder the water the greater the injury to the stomach. Ice water or iced lemonade, drunk with meals, will arrest digestion until the system has imparted sufficient warmth to the stomach to enable it to take up its work again.drink warm water an hour before mealtime and two hours after mealtime.
6. Liquid Foods. Dry food that requires mastication is far preferable to porridges.
7. Very Hot Foods. Very hot food ought not to be taken into the stomach. Soups, puddings, and other articles of the kind, are often eaten too hot, and as a consequence the stomach is debilitated. Let them become partly cooled before they are eaten.
8. Cold Food. I do not approve of eating much cold food, for the reason that the vitality must be drawn from the system to warm the food until it becomes of the same temperature as the stomach before the work of digestion can be carried on.
9. Rich Diet. Rich and complicated mixtures of food are health destroying. Highly seasoned meats and rich pastry are wearing out the digestive organs of children and the adults.
10. Condiments and spices. They irritate and inflame the delicate coating of the stomach.
11. Spices. Spices at first irritate the tender coating of the stomach, but finally destroy the natural sensitiveness of this delicate membrane. Ongo, Royco mchuzi mix, Royco cubes are deadly.
Soft Drinks. Sodas, caffeinated drinks in any form should not be introduced into the stomach; for the effect is fearful. It eats the coatings of the stomach, causes inflammation, and frequently poisons the entire system
CONCLUSION
God has given us all things that pertains unto godliness and the principles of life that can make us healthy. The body is able to heal itself when given the right conditions. It is only left with us to stop that which makes us sick and follow that which we have been given by God. “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. ” 3John 1:3
