What's Love Got To Do With It?
“I love you.” How often do you say those three words, and how often does someone say them to you? (Did this devotional just get personal?) In Scripture, the concept and action of love are one of the fundamental truths of being a Christ-follower, but the actual phrase “I love you,” is only verbalized a few times. In Psalms, David shares, “I love You, O Lord, my strength,” and in the New Testament, Peter tells Jesus, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.” During the month of February, love is marketed to the masses to make sure our loved ones or potential loved ones know we love them by buying “stuff.” One of the radio and television advertisements of a jewelry company during this time has a memorable slogan of “Go straight to the heart.” It’s safe to assume they are talking about our emotional and not physical heart, but what if I told you that our emotions, including anger, do affect our heart’s health.
From my forty years of experience, if you are someone who finds themselves to have consistent “bad” days emotionally, these can create an acid environment in your body that depletes B vitamins and essential minerals, both of which sustain proper heart valve function. Stress caused by emotions can also be the source of health palpitations. If this is the case, minerals, like Celtic Sea Salt can help.
One of the opposite emotions of love is anger, and in James, we are told: “Anger does not produce the righteousness God desires.” Anger is an emotion that springs from the depths of the liver. Your liver is a very significant player in one’s immune system. The liver not only has cells specializing in destroying unfriendly “attackers” in the form of viruses and bacteria, but it is also the storehouse for the fat-soluble vitamins- A, D, E, and K. Vitamin A is found in many whole foods and vegetables, but one stands out more than all the others: Carrots. Carrots have over two hundred known nutrients that support and create life in our bodies. The vitamin A precursor found in carrots is very critical for an optimal immune system and one of the reasons I suggest carrots in the sequence of Dr. Bob’s ABC’s. Eating carrots is one of the many logical steps you can do during any season. I eat one medium carrot every day. My sinuses are clear, my lungs are clear, and my skin is clear. My practice members also tell me the same thing. Carrots are your liver’s friends. Just as love is an action, begin to take charge of the care of your heart and liver.
