Research was recently published that found sleeping for just 11 additional minutes per night was a key component of a lifestyle shift associated with a ten percent lower risk of major cardiovascular events. It is wise to strive to have healthy life habits. The fact is though, life is short and we would be wise to ensure while we are here to get to know the one whom the Bible describes as the giver of life, breath, and all things. The time we have to do this is relatively short and it is not something to put off. We are informed, in the Bible, in the book of James, “For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.”

In an article published by CNN entitled, “Why your body “hiccups” as you fall asleep”, it is noted that nearly 70 percent of the population experience a twitching, jerking that can hinder a person from falling asleep or wake them if they do. A scientist from the article noted in relation to this movement, “It is not a good thing but health wise it presents nothing to worry about”. Did you know there is a wake-up call in the Bible to Christians who are not living as they should? This disturbance in sleep is truly beneficial! Romans 13:11 reads, “And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.”

According to a study of ninety-five scientific reviews encompassing 128,000 participants it was found that physical activity can be one and a half times more effective in some cases than counseling or medication in tackling depression. Something the Bible directs a person to exercise is their focus when dealing with anxiety. In the book of Philippians it reads, “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

Studies have shown that, due to technology, knowledge doubles every twelve to thirteen months. An increase that is much more rapid than society has ever experienced before. Did you know that the apostle Paul prayed for an increase in knowledge for followers of Jesus Christ that was for His time and extends to ours. This is what it reads: that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height – to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Number two is to exercise daily. Number three is to keep a healthy weight. Number four is to limit your alcohol intake. Number five is to not smoke.

It is shared about in John 3:16 which reads, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Do you drink enough water every day? A study by the National Institute of Health notes how drinking enough water may help the aging process. A representative from the study noted that proper hydration may slow down aging and prolong a disease-free life. With what we know it is certainly wise to seek to be properly hydrated daily. Did you know the Bible has instructions on proper intake but it does not have to do with water? In the book of 1st Peter it reads, as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby.” Access to this benefit does not involve turning on the tap but rather grabbing a Bible and reading it.

Are you a late night eater? Journal Cell Metabolism put out a study that addresses the area of time sensitivity of when we eat. Apparently eating in the evening makes a difference in our hunger levels, the way we burn calories after we eat, and the way we store fat. This study helps explain why late eating is associated with increased obesity risk. That being the case it is important to realize that eating is time sensitive. Did you know that in the Bible salvation is time sensitive. In the book of 2 Corinthians chapter six it reads, “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

It has long been established that obesity is a risk factor for cancer. According to the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, new research indicates that a larger waste circumference is a bigger risk factor than body mass index. Apparently though this application is made for men and not for women. Did you know the Bible points out something that is equally deadly for women and men and what it points out is sin. It is something that everyone deals with. Romans 3:23 reads, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”. Thankfully later on in the Bible while it reaffirms that tragic reality it also provides a cure that has been made available. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Some studies show 4-year-olds ask as many as 200-300 questions a day. Questioning is part of our nature. Do you ever find yourself questioning God? Why would He allow this to happen or why did He not do that? A person can be in relationship with God, made possible by Jesus Christ, be what the Bible calls a child of God, and still question Him. We are given some insight from the book of Isaiah why we might find ourselves questioning God. It reads, “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts your thoughts.

Researchers at the Deakin University in Australia recently found that older adults who consumed three tablespoons of peanut butter over a six month period improved their strength and physical performance. Yes, in case you are wondering, it is the real peanut butter that has to be refrigerated. Strength is something we all look for regardless of age. The Bible has something wonderful to say about strength in the book of Isaiah which reads, But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Do you know where this type of strength is found – in the LORD
