Sacramento, CA (PressExposure) July 28, 2010 -- Christians make spiritual choices everyday on how to live their lives by Biblical standards or what is pleasing to the Lord. Look around and you'll find the popular acronym, WWJD (What would Jesus do?) posted on car bumpers and jewelry. However, when it comes to health and wellness, many Christians have difficulty making health choices that are congruent with their committed, Christian faith. All too often, there appears to be a struggle to keep spiritual and physical health in balance and many believers don't understand the Biblical truths about wellness, eating, exercise, and their God-given temple?
More than ever, Christians today want to integrate the various aspects of physical and spiritual well-being in a way that makes sense and is manageable. Believers are deeply connected to their faith and want to have the health to live their spiritual dreams, but many lack the knowledge and skills to accomplish this goal on a day-to-day basis.
"Being a Christian doesn't necessarily mean that you're living a healthy lifestyle," says Rhonda Jones, creator and editor http://www.christianhealthonline.com , a new health and wellness site for Christians. "If you look around the church today, many members of the congregation are overweight. They're eating a lot of processed foods, not exercising regularly, and especially in the African American church, are suffering from diabetes and heart disease in recording numbers. We can't continue to neglect our physical health and think its not affecting our spiritual health as well," stated Jones.
"Everything really hinges on making the best small changes that together result in any Christian feeling better now and in the future," she said. "Most people already know the kinds of things they need to do, the challenge is integrating them into a faith-based lifestyle that can be maintained.
ChristianHealthOnline.com takes a holistic approach to health and wellness. The site not only provides reviews on top Christian weight loss programs, but also addresses mental and emotional health issues as well. You'll find articles on Christian meditation, Biblical yoga, relationships, menopause, and more. Although some topics may be controversial, Jones desires to create a well-balanced site with real depth and valuable information. She wants Christians to get real answers so they can create a plan that will work for them-not just to crash off pounds in a way that isn't healthy, but to design a soul-based plan for life."
Jones states on Christian Health Online.com that to really change your body, the inside has to change first. "True change isn't about will power or trying harder, it's about permanently altering our thought patterns and how we experience the world, and it usually takes place at an unconscious level," she said.
Jones has an incredible record for success already reaching believers with the message of faith, hope, and health. As the creator of The Christian Meditator website, with over 5000 people reading her monthly newsletter, she knows that the topic of health and faith are on the minds of many believers. As she so clearly states: "We must make conscious choices to think and behave differently. We can't change what we don't see or acknowledge. Awareness always comes first." ChristianHealthOnline.com is designed to meet these needs: awareness, choice and change.
