When you hear the words “The Last Supper,” what comes to mind?
A gathering of Jesus and His disciples, sharing a meal and fellowship.
A somber, poignant moment filled with love, lessons, and impending sacrifice.
Yet, amidst these deeply spiritual insights, there is a lesson that often goes unnoticed.
The Last Supper, that legendary event captured in scriptures and countless works of art, has something to teach us about eating right.
Let us remember it again.
Jesus and his disciples gathered around a table, eating a meal together.
They ate bread and drank wine, taking the time to enjoy their food and their fellowship.
This alone carries within it a blueprint for healthy eating that many of us overlook in our overly convenient food culture.
First, gathering and eating as a community.
Communal eating can improve our relationship with food and encourage healthier eating habits.
And yet, less than half of Americans eat with their families on the regular.
We should remember Jesus and His students, and eat with our loved ones as often as we can.
Next, we have to consider the concept of mindful eating.
At the Last Supper, Jesus gave thanks for the bread and wine before passing it to His disciples.
This display of gratitude and reflection can teach us to appreciate our food, be mindful of what we are consuming, and eat more slowly.
Lastly, the simplicity of the meal itself.
The Last Supper was not a feast of overly processed, unhealthy foods.
It was simple, wholesome, and nourishing. Qualities we should strive for in our meals.
The more we talk about the Last Supper, the more we find out about how we should eat.
As we navigate through our journeys, let us remember and apply its lessons to our daily experiences. Let’s strive to eat together, mindfully, and healthily.
And let’s always remember to appreciate God for the food He provides and for the sacrifice that Jesus made for us.
This Will Change Everything You Know About Fat Loss
If you’ve ever attempted to drop some bodyfat…
Then you might have tried what every “expert” out there recommends.
You know, the intense workouts and diets that you can’t possibly stick to for too long, and you end up gaining instead of losing weight.
Losing weight like this is almost impossible if you haven’t done it before.
That’s why most people who are overweight stay overweight.
However, what if I told you that the key to losing fat is not exercising yourself to death – or following extreme diets.
But breathing more.
That’s right, my friends.
A professor of Kinesiology at California State University in Fullerton just revealed that breathing is essential for fat loss.
And yet, you will not hear about this from anyone who is trying to sell you a fat loss or an exercise program.
If more people knew how simple losing fat actually is, then obesity would not be a concern in the US anymore.
You see, fat is made out of long carbon chains.
When we inhale, oxygen enters our system and becomes attached to some of that carbon.
And when we exhale, we breathe out carbon dioxide (CO2).
That’s how fat leaves our system.
This means that anything that makes you breathe harder makes you slim down.
Isn’t that incredibly simple?
And the most effective way to do that constantly over the years, no matter how you feel or how much time you have is by taking regular walks.
Walking doesn’t put any stress on your system.
You don’t experience a drop in energy afterwards, like you do with intense workouts.
(If anything, it makes you feel more energized).
And the most important thing, you are able to stick with it in the long run.
Our Lord has given everyone the ability to remain healthy and take care of their physical vessels.
And simply by taking brisk walks, we can chip away bodyfat without even realizing it.
If you prefer running, that’s fine too.
As long as you are able to keep at it for a long period of time.
So don’t listen to people who say you need to do any intense workouts or starve yourself to death.
Just eat in moderation and do something that makes you breathe slightly harder.
