How Can We Eat Well On A Budget? We are increasingly led to believe that healthy food is more expensive than unhealthy food and that it is hard to eat well on a budget. Due to the rise in mass-produced cheap processed foods, expensive organic food and so called superfoods, foods that are deemed healthy can often be more expensive compared with unhealthy options which include higher levels of fat, sugar and salt (1). The abundance of these less expensive foods which are often low in nutrients but high in calories can predispose to weight gain.    The good news is that with a little bit of planning and skill, we can find ways to eat a healthy and balanced diet while sticking to a budget. This is particularly important if you are looking to lose weight or if you are thinking about sustainable ways to make changes to your lifestyle to maintain a healthy diet following a period of weight loss.     Tips for eating well on a budget   Meal planning is a great plac...

Let’s take a closer look at what you should avoid, plus what you should consume more of, A.K.A. the anti-c...

Christmas – a Time to Reflect All too often the commercialization that begins weeks prior to Halloween and going through the week of Christmas displaces the real meaning of Christmas. Along with the joyous festivities comes the over-indulgence in unhealthy eating habits that stress the God-given innate self-healing of the body. Is it any wonder Christmas is in the midst of the “flu season”? I encourage you to take a few minutes this week and reflect on the real reason we celebrate Christmas and evaluate where you are both spiritually and physically! Are there any changes you need to make personally? God’s Greatest Gift! God’s greatest gift to mankind was His Son who set aside the independent expression of His deity (Phil. 2:6-8) to become human in order to satisfy the justice and righteousness of God so that whosoever will could be saved (Jn. 3:16-17). He suffered the penalty for our sins. God’s righteousness was satisfied at the cross. Now through God’s grace and Jesus Christ’s sac...

Chemotherapy can also be prescribed for this type of cancer but unfortunately, these forms of treatment do not come without side effects and risks. While radiation can be effect in killing off cancer cells, it often harms good, healthy cells that the body needs in the process. This is why we at Hallelujah Diet advise a diet filled with natural, wholesome and raw plants of the earth as a form of natural treatment. However, scientists and doctors around the world continue to work on methods that they hope will improve these treatments.
