Nutrition Awareness

March is Nutrition Awareness Month, for some reason that scares lots of people. Some people are scared that the Health and Wellness Committee is going to ask you all to become vegetarians and eat soy burgers and Kale. Some of you are afraid that we are going to recommend eating complicated supplements you can’t pronounce or exotic pills and smoothies. This is not to say that these things are bad for you, most are very good. The one thing we want you to learn during Nutrition awareness month is very simple: EAT BETTER, LIVE BETTER.

1^st : John 3:16 (KJV) ¹⁶For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
2^nd : Romans 3:23 (KJV) ²³For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
3^rd :John 1:12 (KJV)¹²But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
4^th : Hebrews 13:5 (KJV)
⁵Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
5^th : Hebrews 13:6 (KJV) ⁶So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
6th : Hebrews 9:22 (KJV)²²And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
7^th : 1 John 1:9 (KJV) ⁹If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
8^th : 1 Corinthians 15:3,4 (KJV) ³For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; ⁴And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Let us not forget our memory scriptures.
