Eating God's Creations

I haven't posted this point of view in a while. As many of you know Your Happy Hearts comes from a Christian background. Whatever your beliefs, there are so many things created on this earth for us to use. Anything outside of that, is not what our bodies need.

In doing research for my women's home health group, I came across these verses dealing with what we should and should not eat. Also listed are herbs which will provide great benefit to your health and well being.

I hope you find this as informative as the group did.
