scripture

Romans 14:14-18: I know and am convinced on the authority of the Lord Jesus that no food, in and of itself, is wrong to eat. But if someone believes it is wrong, then for that person it is wrong.

15 And if another believer is distressed by what you eat, you are not acting in love if you eat it. Don’t let your eating ruin someone for whom Christ died.

16 Then you will not be criticized for doing something you believe is good.

17 For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

18 If you serve Christ with this attitude, you will please God, and others will approve of you, too.

November: Holiday Wellness & Mindful Eating

The holidays bring joy — but also temptations. Practicing mindful eating helps us
enjoy food while caring for our health.

What the Science Says:

Holiday seasons are consistently linked with weight gain and overeating
due to social events and large portions.
Mindful eating — eating slowly, removing distractions, and noticing
hunger/fullness cues — is shown to reduce overeating and support weight
management.

Wellness Actions:

Start meals with vegetables and water.
Take smaller portions first; go back if still hungry.
Give yourself permission to enjoy favorite foods in moderation.
