Did you know that making small tweaks to your body can bring about big health changes? From exercise to adopting a food-as-medicine mentality, we can do much to improve our health. On this podcast episode, we’re sharing our top 8 healthy tips.

“Creating an overall healthy lifestyle for yourself doesn’t require a radical diet or significant life change. In fact, it can be attained through common sense decisions about the way we eat, move, and live.” Harley Pasternak

At Spaces of Grace podcast, we believe small changes done consistently can bring about positive changes in your body you may not have thought possible. 

Why Strive for a Healthy Body?

We’re all busy. Shouldn’t we just go about life and trust God to let us live as long as He wants us to live?

While it’s true God determines our lifespan, it’s also true our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and we want them to be healthy, holy homes for Him and us!

So, if we want to be energetic, effective women of God living out our purposes on this earth, we need to take care of ourselves and be as healthy as we can be. We see this in the Proverbs 31 woman.

She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. Proverbs 31:17
