Biblical Ingredients
A good guideline would be to eat "living foods." The natural, living foods are fresh vegetables, fruits, grains, meats and dairy products.
The "dead foods" are those that are highly refined. They not only are expensive, but also in most instances do little to nourish. Many people who find themselves tired, run down and sick are victims of their diets which are made up of dead, junk foods.
