Many chronic diseases are strongly influenced by diet.
According to NIH, excess sugar, salt, saturated fat, and processed meats increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes, while low intakes of fruits, vegetables, nuts & seeds, whole grains, and polyunsaturated fats are also linked to elevated risk.

In fact, one large observational study followed men and women over decades and found that those who adhered more closely to healthy eating patterns had a 14–20% lower risk of death overall, and notably lower risks of death from heart disease and cancer.

When we see food as our body's frontline defense, rather than simply something we need or enjoy, we empower our bodies to resist disease.
God designed our bodies to utilize healthy, nutrient-rich foods for healing and vitality.
