The Goal: Balance

When I talked about investing in your health, I told you that you were going to have to invest a little time in learning about healthy foods to eat, and perhaps this chapter has tested you. I’ve given you a lot of information. Most people don’t like blindly marching to someone else’s orders; they are much more willing to do something if they understand why they are doing it. Now that you see the way different types of foods affect the body, I hope you understand why it is so important—yet so easy—to eat a healthy, balanced diet. The Bible tells us to remain balanced so that the devil cannot find an entrance into our lives (1 Peter 5:8). Excess is the devil’s playground.

As in all areas of life, common sense is key. It’s absurd to think that one cookie will bring your health crashing down. It’s equally absurd to think that you can eat a full dessert twice every day with no consequences. Moderation is the right path in all things. If you can eat an occasional sweet, at birthday parties or dinner parties, that is a perfectly wonderful part of life. But a friend of mine says she absolutely cannot eat even one cookie without eating the whole box, so she knows not to have that one cookie. The Bible says if your eye offends you, then pluck it out (Matthew 18:9). What this means is that if one thing in life is threatening your downfall, you need to cut that thing out of your life.
