Food Isn't What It Used To Be: A Biblical Approach to Health (Updated & Expanded)

What happened to our food-and what is it doing to our health?

We live in an age of unprecedented medical advancement and abundant food choices, yet chronic illness, nutritional deficiencies, and other health concerns continue to affect millions. The foods filling our grocery stores and dinner tables are vastly different from those consumed by generations before us. How did we get here-and what can we do about it?

In Food Isn't What It Used to Be: A Biblical Approach to Health, certified nutrition consultant Christine Andrew examines the dramatic changes in our food supply and explores what Scripture teaches about nourishment, health, and caring for the bodies God has entrusted to us.

Drawing from biblical principles, historical perspectives, research, and her own journey through significant health challenges, Andrew considers how modern food production, processing, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices may affect our well-being. She then turns to Scripture to examine the foods, beverages, remedies, and health practices found throughout the Bible and the principles they can offer readers today.

Readers will discover:

• • How the modern food supply differs from the foods of previous generations
  • Biblical principles for caring for the body
  • Practical guidelines for making more intentional food and lifestyle choices
  • Natural approaches to supporting health and restoring balance
  • A faith-centered perspective on stewardship, wellness, and personal responsibility

Food Isn't What It Used to Be invites readers to look beyond convenience and conventional assumptions and reconsider the relationship between food, faith, and health.

Our bodies are a gift and a responsibility. While the number of our days ultimately rests with God, how we care for ourselves during those days matters. This thought-provoking guide encourages readers to pursue greater knowledge, make intentional choices, and approach health as an act of faithful stewardship.
