Dear Doug,

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation." II Corinthians 5:17-19.

In this passage, we are told that we can have our slate washed clean of sin. We can have a new start. Through repentence and trust in Jesus, God's perfect Son, we can be reconciled or restored to fellowship with God. He will "impute" or brand us with the word "innocent" when we trust in Jesus' blood. But we are also commanded to carry this word of reconciliation to others. Do you know how to witness? Go to wayofthemaster.com to find out how Jesus witnessed to others using the Ten Commandments. Enjoy this issue and learn how to renew your health.

Factors in Premature Aging

In this cursed world aging is inescapable. In fact, scientists have determined that human cell division is limited to an age of about 120 years. So what are the factors that can cause premature aging?

In the latest Hallelujah Acres Health News magazine, research scientist Michael Donaldson, PhD, says that there are several factors that can speed up or slow down the aging process.

Antioxidants
If you want an antioxidant diet the best place to look is a wide variety of plant foods. Dr. Donaldson says that "there is a much wider variety of phytochemicals in a plant than you will ever find in a bottle. When was the last time you saw falcarinol on a supplement label?

And yet this polyacetylene found in carrots, parsley, fennel, parsnips, and celery root has anticancer properties. Yet one more reason to drink carrot juice." He says that supplemental antioxidants are beneficial in stressful circumstances, but cannot replace the wide variety of antioxidants in plant foods. For our richest food, high in antioxidants and proven to protect DNA from free-radical damage see BarleyMax at our web site.

Lowered Glucose & Insulin Levels
According to Dr. Donaldson, high levels of blood glucose cause a lot of advanced glycemic endproducts (AGSs) to be formed. These AGSs are useless molecules that account for many of the side-effects of diabetes. The higher the level of glucose in the blood, the more AGSs are formed. He says that a fasting level of 85 mg/dL is acceptable, but optimal levels should be around 75 mg/dL. People on the Hallelujah Diet can achieve these levels in a matter of weeks or even days from beginning the diet.

Weight Control
It is very difficult to become overweight on a diet full of raw fruits and vegetables, since that is a low-fat, low-calorie, high fiber diet. Did you know that excess weight aroung the middle actively causes systemic inflammation, thus accelerating aging?

Heart Disease, Strokes, Diabetes, and Cancer
Plant-based diets like the Hallelujah Diet have been recognized even by the government to prevent and reverse heart disease, strokes, diabetes, and cancer. When given the original foods God intended for our bodies the self-healing mechanism is triggered to prevent premature aging. Coupled with proper exercise, sunshine, and rest, the plant foods work in synergy to bring strength and wellness to the body.

Biophotons
Dr. Donaldson points out that raw foods contain biophotonic light, which enables the DNA in the cell nucleus to communicate with the cell membrane and create order rather than chaos in the electromagnetic field of the cell. Supplying continually coherant energy to our bodies helps our cells to be healthier and live longer. Raw foods contain roughly 83 times the biophotons as does a junk food diet.

Helpful Supplements
Vitamin D can improve health no matter what age and that is why Hallelujah Acres offers several sources of Vitamin D. The B complex vitamins are also indirect anti-aging supplements that reduce the levels of homocysteine in the body and supply a host of other important molecules in the body. Dr. Donaldson says that "Omega 3 fats support healthy mental aging as well. These fats are well known for their anti-inflammatory action, a major contributor to disease and suffering...Optimal amounts of DHA may be necessary for the brain to age well and avoid dementia.

Anti-Aging Foods

From the Journal of American Agricultural and Food Chemistry comes a new study with some surprises about the amount of antioxidants foods contain. We all have heard about the high antioxidant content of berries, but this study says that small red dried beans is the champion. The study investigated the antioxidant content of more than 100 foods, including fruits, vegetables, cereals, breads, nuts, and spices. Wild blueberries came in second, but ranking 3rd and 4th on the list were two more beans, dried red kidney beans and pinto beans.

So what are we learning from the new study? "What we're discovering is that we only know about a thimbleful of all the antioxidants that are probably within foods," says (David) Grotto, who is also a spokesman for the American Dietetic Association. "What's unique about eating foods vs. supplements is that there is always more bang for the buck in eating the foods, and you get a lot of those compounds that we really don't fully understand the benefits of yet."

Also discovered was the fact the most foods have more antioxidant content when raw than with cooking, but some foods like tomatoes have increased antioxidant content when cooked.

All this means we need more varied raw fruits, nuts, seeds, and vegetables in our diet to get a variety of nutrients that God put in synergy into those wonderful foods. The Hallelujah Diet promotes 85% raw to 15% cooked foods, while varying that percentage to accomodate thinner people or those who want more calories in their diet.

Emotional Aging

What emotions can actually age you faster? Here is a short list.

Worry: Anxiety has been proven to shorten life spans according to a Purdue University study. Also, a study in Scotland concluded after 21 years of research that worry was significantly related to risk of death from cardiovascular disease.

Depression: Neil Medley, M.D. and author of Depression The Way Out says "A folic acid (or folate) deficiency can be a direct cause of depression. I have found this a much more common cause of depression in meat-eaters than in vegetarians". He says that plant foods contain many more times the amount of folate than animal foods.

Diet: Did you know that certain foods can trigger worry? Because an acid rich diet (animal protein, processed foods, caffeine, and sugar) weakens the body's ability to remove toxins which stress the body. Since our brains are composed of 85% water, it will help us to think more clearly and be more emotionally stable if we are hydrated with plenty of pure water.

Over-eating: Statistics prove that calorie restriction is thought to retard the activity of aging related to free radical reactions. So, since metabolism is the primary generator of free radicals, just cutting down on your food intake can have positive effects in keeping you younger.

Spiritual State: Your attitude about life and death has a marvelous positive effect on your length and quality of life. My favorite pastor and Bible teacher, Dr. Adrian Rogers, in his book, Mastering Your Emotions, said "And not only can negative emotions take life from your years, they can take years from your life."

"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:31

Marilyn's Sweet Potato Pie

This is one of our favorite recipes, and sweet potatoes are a very nutritious food. This Basic Pie Shell recipe is from Rhonda Malkmus' Hallelujah Holiday Recipes from God's Garden, available at our web site. Here is how to make the crust.

1/2 cup raw nuts

1/2 cup distilled water

Grind nuts and oats in dry blender. Put in bowl. Add whole-grain flour and mix dry ingredients well. Add water. May be rolled out between wax paper or pressed into pie plate and rolled with pizza roller. This crust is easy to flute, if desired.

Filling:
2 medium sweet potatoes cooked in small amount of water and beat with a hand mixer
2 tablespoons Earth Balance
1/3 cup raw honey
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
1/4 cup almond milk

Combine filling ingredients and mix well. Pour into pie shell. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until center is set and top loses gloss. Makes a great dessert for October and November meals.
