Does God expect us to take care of our body?

I think people would make better choices, if more were done to educate about just how harmful many of the substances found in most packaged foods are for our bodies.

Once I began to talk to my family about the dangers of high fructose corn syrup, and we began seeing it in almost everything - ketchup, bread, cereal, snack bars.... just about ANYTHING found in a plastic package.... it was a real awakening for all of us.

Now, when I shop, my kids help me look for brands that have no high fructose corn syrup in them, and what's even better, is they are sharing this with their friends too. They have completely stopped drinking cokes, and I've overhead them telling their friends about it too.

I believe God wants us to take care of our bodies, and He also has provided us the means through all the natural plants, vegetables and fruits to combat most if not all, diseases and problems that we have today.
