Why We get sick

No human being in the world that likes to be sick, that's a reality. However, you wondered why there are terminal illnesses like cancer, AIDS, among others?

Being sick and more when suffering from some of the above conditions, affects not only mentally and physically to the sufferer, but also afflicts and impacts all family members. It's a tough process, where the family unit, the strength of spirit and faith in God are important factors in achieving overcome this bitter and painful process.

But the Bible says about illness? Will that diseases are sent by God as punishment for our sins? In my opinion God is love and is good all the time. I do not think in any case God sent diseases as a punishment for our sins, because then how we respond to diseases that newborns acquire? what about those children born with leukemia? They have not grown to commit sin and receiving such diseases as punishment.

However, God tells us in Exodus 15:26, and prevent disease, "If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, and give ear to His commandments and keep all his statutes, no disease that I sent to the Egyptians I will send to you for I am the Lord who heals you. " As you can see how God tells us how we can stay away from disease.

Similarly, ourselves, often we are guilty of getting some kind of disease. He does not wear a proper food, pollute our bodies with alcohol, snuff, the overeating, drugs, pharmaceuticals and others is a way to kill us slowly and thus increase the chances of getting sick. For example, overeating leads to suffer from obesity and this in turn triggers a myriad of diseases like hypertension, diabetes, stroke, stroke, among other ailments.

According to figures from the World Health Organization, obesity has been considered as an epidemic. The figures are frightening. More than one billion adults are overweight, and of those, at least 300 million are obese.   Obesity is just one example of the excesses that we are constantly engaged. High intake of foods, even without feeling hungry, is what is known as gluttony.

Proverbs 23:20-21 warns us, "Do not be with those who drank wine or meat eaters, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags." Proverbs 28:7 states, "The who keeps the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of gluttons shames his father. "Proverbs 23:2 proclaims," And put a knife to your throat, if you have a good appetite. "

If we can not control our pleasures, including food, then we will not be able to control other excesses that often lead us to suffer from terminal illnesses, to commit crimes, become tyrants, embittered, selfish, arrogant or ill neighbor.

The driver of ourselves and learn to say NO, we will help to prevent diseases and have better control our lives for good and achieve well being physical, mental and spiritual. Remember that God has blessed us to fill the earth with healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, which are foods that provide incredible benefits.

God has put in plants, herbs and healthy foods in the perfect cure for many of our illnesses. This in ourselves starting a healthy diet and faith that we have towards our Creator, stay healthy and prevent many of our ills.

Begins to eat better, exercise, think, read the Bible, look to your Creator and see that your spirit will be strengthened and be happier.
