One of the most important principles of eating healthy is to make sure to eat a variety of foods. Keeping the right balance is essential to health and weight loss. We need to eat a minimum of five fruits and vegetables each day. We need two low-fat dairies each day. Also, we need protein, whole grains, and healthy fats. The better we balance these fuels the better our bodies run. I heard great advice once, if you make sure to eat what you need every day you will be full and satisfied and not want all the junk food.
Isn’t life like that as well? We have so many roles to balance every day. We have to find time for our spouse, our children, work, God, friends, play, commitments, school, and ourself. We must constantly find the right balance. First and foremost we have to fuel our soul with time with God. We then need to love and support our spouse and see the needs of our children. If we work outside the home we have to fulfill our responsibilities to our employer. Then find time to care for our self. Any time left can be filled with the other areas. When we live with things in the right balance, we will feel we are in control of our life, we will have peace, and have time to enjoy life. When we do not keep a good balance, life gets totally out of control and those breaking point fits are destined to happen.
How is your balance? Is it time to do some readjusting? It is something we need do monitor regularly and make the proper adjustments. The benefit of living a balanced life is well worth the effort.

Be well balanced, be vigilant and cautious at all times; for the enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring, seeking someone to seize upon and devour.
