Does God want us to be Fit and Healthy?

Of course he does. In fact, this what one website says,

“JESUS INCREASED IN STATURE – verse 39.
His boyhood was an actual normal boyhood. His development was like that of all children. He came amongst men to learn all the features of our development, learnt from his family.
a) His development came from a healthy life style. Childhood needs respect for the body God has given so it will be useful. He would have ran and played with children of his age but without sin. We should keep our bodies fit and healthy.
b) His development came from using hands to get proficiency. Every Jewish child learned a trade. Saul learnt to use his hands to make tents to support himself so he would not depend on others Jesus learnt the trade of a carpenter. He was fit and healthy, he needed the physical stamina during those years of his ministry. Jesus walked for miles and spoke publicly for hours. He needed to be physically fit. Today we have lost the benefits of manual skills. It is important to develop manual skills in those who best suited for them.” http://waterfordhouse.blogspot.com/2008/02/jesus-in-nazareth.html

    I ran across christianfitnessassociation . com while looking for Christian fitness exercise plans. Looks like a great option for those who want a faith-based, effective exercise program.

    It’s no secret that today’s families are struggling. Struggling to meet the demands of increasingly busy lifestyles. Struggling to make ends meet. Struggling to find the time and energy to maintain even a basic fitness regimen. Obesity, heart disease, diabetes, depression, and many other serious health conditions are more prevalent than ever before, and families, the essential building blocks of society, are suffering the consequences.
    The number of divorces climbs daily. The cost of medicines to combat diseases that could have been avoided is crippling budgets. Parents worry as children face decreasing life expectancies.
