From the Minister's Study
Some health tips ••• from a minister
By Res.. 1)r. Eugen Bannerman
Blyth United Church
The two things Jesus did most
often was tell stories. and heal
people.
Mq.st modern churches do very
little. of either: we are preoccupied
with worship. community and the
proper organization of otir church
committees. These functions are
essential in a church. but Jesus
seemed more concerned for the
physical and spiritual well-being of
the people he met •than the
organizational framework of where
they worshipped.
Jump ahead two millennia.
Someone told the feminist author
Gloria Steinem that she "loOked
great for 50.1' Her reply can be
repeated. "This is what 50 looks like
today."
In spite of the reality of aging,
people over 50 look, feel, act and, in
fact, 'are phySiologically younger
than their parents and grandparents
were when they were the same age.
Fifty years ago, old age began at
65. Today, old age begins ,at 75.
That's a remarkable physiological
and sociological fact, due in large
part to better nutrition; better
hygiene, advanced medical care, and
more-active lifestyles.
In the last few nionths, I have been
reading a magazine 50Phts,
dedicated to the hundred of
thousands of baby boomers who are
jogging past the 50. mark. The
monthly magazine describes this
group as consisting of "very
important people wh6 will dominate
the world's cultural, political and
social fabric for the next 50 years!"
People passing the50-year mark in
Canada are "smart, 'trendy,
sophisticated. fun-loving, funny and
fresh."
That includes many, if not most, of
the people in our congregations.
Putting the ancient and modern
bits of information together. I have
come up with an idea: to provide
some tips for healthy living, on the
assumption that an ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Health and healing were prime
issues in the ministry of Jesus. If
Jesus felt it was important for people
to be healthy, why shouldn't we?
So here are a couple of modern
health tips from your minister.
Researchers in California have
given us even more reason to drink -
water. that is. More than 20,000 men
and women aged 38 to 100 were
observed for six years. The study
found that people who drank five or
more glasses of plain water a day,
had a 50 per cent lower risk of fatal
heart disease than those who drank
less than two glasses a day.
Believe it or not, not drinking
enough water can be as harmful to
your health as smoking.
The health tip: drink a glass of

plain water every two or three hours
every day.
A second health tip. According to
Genesis,. Adam and Eve were told
they could "eat the fruit of any tree"
in the Garden of Eden (Genesis
2:16). We have no idea what they
ate, but tradition ha's suggested the
apple tree grew in the garden.
Researchers in the Federal
Agricultural Lab in Guelph, Ontario,
have studied Canadian apples. Not
all apples are created equal, they
report.
The value of an apple lies in its
antioxidant content (antioxidants
defend the body against free radicals
in the blood). At the top of the list are
the red delicious, with the peel being
the richest source of antioxidants.
Next came spy, ida red, cortland,
golden delicious, mcintosh and
mutsu. Empire apples came in last,
with less than half the antioxidant
value of red delicious.
The health tip: A delicious-apple a
day may keep the doctor away.
Back up two millennia. Mark
wrote that it was the healing ministry
of Jesus that drew the largest
crowds: "So they ran throughout the
whole region, and wherever they
heard he was, they brought him the
sick lying on their mats. And
everywhere Jesus went, to villages,
towns, or farms, people would take
their sick to the marketplaces and
beg him to let the sick at least touch
the edge of his cloak. And all who
touched it were made well." (Mark
6:55).
I think churches that will focus on
some type of health and healing
ministry may find that a sense of
well-being is .a key to living a long
and fulfilling life.
