2 Smashing Difference in Foodstuffs

1. Leavened bread – are unhealthy foods as bread, cakes, cupcakes, or biscuits. What makes it unhealthy are its” rising agents” e.g., yeast, baking powder, baking soda causing the dough to bubble and rise, as well as its food coloring content, etc. Commercial breads carry harmful food additives to improve the appearance, taste, shelf life and its color. And even ease of mass production to reach sales targets and monthly quota.
2. Unleavened bread – are healthy foods as an assortment of different breads (or cakes and cookies) carefully readied which are solely prepared “using no harmful rising agents”. Like the matzo of Jews, which is a traditional healthy and delicious flatbread—and it’s unleavened. This is what God unveils in the Holy Book for his creations to eat as simply put. This is superb for you, absolutely necessary for ones longer lifespan.

Born in the great city of Ur Kasdim, Chaldea, Sumer (present day Iraq). Was the first man selected by God for a role in God’s great plan of redemption? The people of Ur worshipped the Babylonian pagan manmade gods-moon god: so God called Abraham out of the pagan culture, and he obeyed willingly. Abram or Abraham intercedes/ pleads for others for the 50 righteous down to 10 men in Sodom and submit to God’s will, but God spared Lot—Abram’s nephew.Abram meaning: high father”, which later became Abraham “a father of a multitude”.

Moses was regarded among Jews of today as the “lawgiver of Israel” with the 10 commandments from God.
15. Joshua– son of Nun, died at 110 years old. He took over after Moses died and crossed over the Jordan river after the water stood still by God’s Might so Israel could cross over on dry grounds.

He was the 2nd son of King David.

In 1961, the “Charleywood bread” was deliberately produced by an auto machine working of dough to suitably decrease the fermentation time in loaf bread making, which has been extensively used now in large production of factories and bakeries. As a result, breads are promptly made at a lower cost, but very low in nutritional value. Acrylamides (acid) are especially present in starchy foods like bread or cakes or biscuits cooked higher than 120 C. Acrylamides are neuro toxic with damaging effects for humans, most especially on male reproduction and developmental toxicity/ carcinogenic (cancer) for all genders.

Breads with short rising time has greater amount of “fodmap carbohydrates” that causes intestinal diseases, irritable bowel movement, cramps etc. Whilst traditional bread that rises for many hours or overnight fermentation are much healthier as its breakdown the “fodmap carb“, and flavor develops better the natural way with no added additives as done in the ancient times, the same goes for clean water and organic healthy foods—the secret to a better healthier lifestyle and longevity. It is better to purchase from bakeshops and groceries with healthier products, or better yet DIY bake at home with your kids, or plant veggies and fruits in your own garden/ backyard to ensure the food you feed the brain and body of your kids and family are 90-100% nutritive.

In ancient days Daniel was very specific in declaring “fresh vegetable, fruit and water” as the food they prefer to eat every day and “faith in God“– Whilst, the same thing with the centenarians of today the Norwegians and the Filipinos are heedful with their “clean water, plant-based diet and faith in God” as manifested by the Susano family (Francisca 124 years old and Magdalena Susano 102 years old) the Filipino Family of centenarians in Negros, Ph. (Genesis 1:30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.) (Leviticus 11:9 “These you may eat, of all that are in the waters. Everything in the waters that has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers, you may eat.). (Genesis 1:29 God said, “I have given you every plant with seeds on the face of the earth and every tree that has fruit with seeds. This will be your food.) (Daniel 1: 12-13 “Please test your servants for ten days; let us be given vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food and treat your servants in accordance with what you see.” Our body needs food. It is likewise our soul who needs Lord Jesus. (1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.)
