As we gear up for the upcoming fast, as we prepare as best we can to do without food & drink for 25+
hours, I am once again reminded and in awe of what the proper amount of good, nutritious food and water does for
us.
As the fast progresses I am likely to be: lethargic, sluggish, sleepy, irritable,
headache-y. I’ll be sapped of energy. I won’t function well. I will have to
curtail my activities and not merely due to the Yom Kippur restrictions placed on us -but because I won’t have the wherewithal to do them. Not physically nor mentally.
Do you know what just struck me as I was writing this? - the same exact
debilitating effects happen when we eat
the WRONG foods and/or too much food.
This is what happens when we are deprived of proper food and water.
Many things have changed over the centuries, but nutrition HASN'T
THREE HEARTY WHOLESOME MEALS A DAY and WATER!
Hashem has supplied us with water and a plethora of appealing,
tasty, delectable, highly effective foods to ensure our sustenance and growth and that we are properly nourished
and energized so that we can face each day with vim and vigor. Foods that enable us to not only survive, but
thrive and therefore live life to the utmost fullest. To do any less would mean
we are falling short of our obligation and duty.
Without Him, I can’t; without “me” He won’t; However, He can’t spoon feed us. It is up to us to actually choose these fine wholesome foods and eat them in the way
He intended us to.
Come Wednesday evening I will eagerly dive into a tall glass
of water, eat some fruit and a ginormous
veggie omelet. My strength will come back to me, my energy level will soar, my
irritability will cease. And I will once again be awestruck at what eating the
good, nutritious food that Hashem has given to us does for us.
I had no idea, 13+ years ago, which is when I made the decision to use food to my advantage and eat the three hearty healthy meals I was designed and required to, just how much it would affect my every single living and sleeping moments. It makes you appreciate and enjoy everything - much, much more! The gratitude, and yes - the awe of life!
Wishing you and your loved ones meaningful fast. Vicki
