It’s so good when men take charge of their own health… their temple; spirit, heart, body and mind! 🙌🏼🩸🔥🙏🏻👊🏼
Here is a health testimony from a brother:
“Four months ago, I went through a series of health issues within a 2 week span. I was passing kidney stones while experiences severe gout attacks and the flu. It literally all hit me at once. I was physically emotionally mentally and spiritually drained. I was feeling aged, heavy, defeated, unmotivated and just out of it. I was at my heaviest weight in decades. I was overindulging in food/drinks and working out very little. I was always out of breath doing physical activities. I struggled to carry luggage or groceries without feeling like I just ran laps. I just didn’t have the strength or conditioning I once had. I understood that I was no longer a young man, but it really brought into perspective that I am battling against time, oxidation; stress, laziness, gluttony, discipline and really my own self. It wasn’t going to get easier but in fact become more challenging the longer I waited. My doctor said if you don’t want to take medication or have other health issues then “you need to lose weight”…My wife was actually the one that began the health journey first, she was the disciplined one taking classes, doing recovery, red light, cryo, watching her nutrition, taking proper supplements, studying and researching while I sat back and just sulked in my unhealthiness and became slightly resentful rather then supportive.
But one day it provoked me, I needed to want better for my life also. I was falling into a dark hole physically,emotionally, mentally and spiritually. I felt disconnected and decided to rededicated myself to the Lord in my time with Him, taking classes on healthy emotional communication, studying healthy habits, studying business ventures my wife and I have had, working out and getting back into martial arts and breaking unhealthy habits. I just soaked up the world and everything in it…and it spit me out feeling just busted and wore thin.
So in the last 4 months, I have lost 20 lbs. cleaned up my eating but occasionally grubbin good on vacations lol. Fasting and praying. Doing kickboxing with my wife and daughters. Feeling just a lot stronger and more conditioned. I haven’t had any kidney stone or gout flare ups in those 4 month…hoooowever I think this last trip, I may have overdone the seafood and red meat and felt something funny in my knee. 😳 👎🏾(Yes possibly Gout) so got back home and jumped right back on course and symptoms dissipated pretty quickly. Lessoned learned… so with all that, I encourage you to get back on that horse if you fell off…, or if you have never started, then start today.
Set a goal for yourself, get disciplined and let it turn into desire. It is never too late to start new healthy habits and break old ones. Have faith in yourself, but most of all in the Lord who gives you strength to do what seems impossible, and guidance to get through those difficult days which will come... Let Him light up your path and see where He will take you. 🙏🏽🔥
“Seek ye the kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you.”
