As 70% of our health is determined by lifestyle factors, thats more than all other factors combined, the most powerful thing that we can do for ourselves is to adpot a way of living that promotes optimal health.
The CHIP Optimal Diet emphasize largely unrefined foods as grown. These foods (grains, legumes, vegetables, and fresh fruits), usually high in unrefined complex carbohydrates, are encouraged to be eaten freely without concern for serving size.
Such a natural whole-food diet - very low in fat, animal protein, sugar, salt, yet high in fiber, antioxidants, and micronutrients, and virtually free of cholesterol - is in stark contrast to the typical rich Western diet.
Many people, as they begin to understand the cause-and-effect relationship between their dietary (lifestyle) choices and effects on their health and disease, give up the good life's excesses. Instead, they opt for the best life possible with its elegant simplicity. Church people employees, executives, and administrators everywhere are making new commitments toward health, because while they realize that health may not be everything, they also recognize that without health, everything is nothing.
