Blessings, My Queens!
Today let's continue our talk about holistic health and look at nutrition.
Why Nutrition Matters:
We’ve all heard the phrase “our bodies are our temple’. That teaching can be found in 1 Corinthians 6:19. And though there is much more to it, do we really understand what that means... physically? Think about it. No one worships the temple itself, but they worship from within the temple. The caretakers of the temple don’t just focus on making the outside look good—they work tirelessly to ensure the structure is maintained from the inside out, doing all that’s necessary to keep it in tip-top shape or in the order called for. Whether it’s repairing damage, cleaning up, or protecting it from harm, the upkeep is constant. This is how we must treat our bodies, the temples that house our Spirit.
Just like a temple, our bodies deserve holistic care—inside and out. They are a divine creation and it’s not enough to dress up the outside if we’re neglecting our health on the inside. Every part of our health journey, starting from nutrition and exercise to mental and spiritual well-being, contributes to a strong, vibrant temple. Let’s explore how we can honor our bodies, not just by the way we adorn them, but by the way we care for them every single day.
Fun To-Do List:
Let’s take a playful, proactive approach to treating our bodies like the temples they are. Here’s a fun to-do list to keep your body thriving from the inside out:
