Whether you're currently overweight, living with a debilitating disease or find yourself feeling less energized as the days go on, now might be a good time to reevaluate your current lifestyle habits. Do you eat whatever you want, neglect to exercise and sleep only a few hours each night? The choices you make on a daily basis impact the way your body works, which can ultimately influence how you age. If you're ready to make a big change in your life, it starts with taking small steps. You can't just flip your lifestyle around in a day; it's going to take lots of discipline and learning to create the new, healthy life you want to live. Choosing to follow the Hallelujah Diet is one of the most important decisions you can make, giving your body the ultimate fuel provided by God.
