Amongst many other lessons we could find in the Bible, it also teaches people how to lead a healthy, joyful and harmonious life. Crucial and the most essential part of every living creature’s existence is, of course, diet.

Food motifs are mentioned in the Bible and we could find them in various traditions, folklore concepts and beliefs all around the world. Symbolism of food is quite amazing and it includes a vast and colorful palette of meanings.

Vegetables are an important part of human diet. Humans have evolved to be omnivores, meaning we have to get ourselves all kinds of different nutrients, in order to be healthy and to survive, although not everyone would agree. In modern times, there are numerous controversies regarding food.

While vegans and vegetarians claim we do not need to eat meat, others say it is ridiculous.

Vegans praise veggies above all other types of food, claiming we need not even a single animal product.

There are various scientific and medical researches proving this or that. Our contemporary diet depends not only on actual data and medical facts, but also on ongoing trends. Which nutritive materials we need and in what amount are questions that are turned to commercials!

However, we could all agree vegetables are healthy and needed, regardless of what is our ‘nutritive opinion’ in general.

In the Bible, various types of food are mentioned. Some of the first verses say the God decided grains, fruits and nuts would be humans’ food. Later on, after falling into sin, vegetables are added to the list.

Meat was added quite later, after the great flood. It is interesting to note that evolution of human nutrition in reality completely corresponds to this Biblical nutrition plan.

According to the Bible, God has given humans the sense of hunger, in order to remind us to give our body what it needs, in times when it is required.

If we provide valuable and quality nutrients to our body, we would be less likely to fall ill and we could enjoy our mortal, but incredible and healthy lives. Today we know exactly how much of what type of food we should eat. We could even think of healthy food as a blessing to our organism.

Biblical nutrition is actually what is, in medical sense, considered good and healthy.

However, contemporary world is not anymore based on the same values. We eat lots of greasy, too sweet, to spiced, too salty food, only in order to satisfy our taste, not our physical body.

Vegetables are, for example, fairly neglected. It would be good if we remind ourselves of certain old-times habits.
