Want to eat healthy? Consider foods mentioned in the Bible, experts say

What’s better than eating healthy? According to a new research by experts, eating biblically, that is foods mentioned in the Bible, is the new gold standard in diets, the New York Times reported.

In a time when people seem less interested in scientific facts and eager to implement spiritual and religious guidance in all aspects of their lives, it’s no surprise that there is such a thing as ‘biblical eating.’

Adopted by a growing community of at least a few hundred thousand members, this new eating trend focuses on consuming mainly foods mentioned in the Holy Bible.

“Sin entered into the world through food, and Satan doesn’t stop there. Food, for me, is really like a weapon of how I can fight back,” 27-year-old biblical eating influencer, Kayla Bundy, recently told the New York Times.

She added that she got into it after looking at the Holy Book from “that lens of noticing what they are eating.”

Bundy, who has been a biblical eater for the last eight years, is a popular content creator on platforms like TikTok, where she shares tips and recipes with over 500,000 followers.

She also managed to turn her unique diet into a lucrative business, selling a $28 digital guide to biblical superfoods and booking coaching sessions for $700 per month.

Abbie Stasior, a Christian dietitian who lives in Nashville, United States, likes to reference Bible verses, such as a scene in the Book of John in which Jesus eats a balanced breakfast of bread and fish with his disciples, pointing out that they get both carbohydrates and protein.

Then there is Annalies Xaviera, a stay-at-home mother, whose online following has surpassed 300,000 on Facebook alone. She focuses mostly on eating locally-sourced, unprocessed foods, but also incorporates prayer and Bible verses in her videos.

The idea of biblical eating has been around for years, but it has probably never been as popular as it is today, mainly thanks to social media, the experts stated.
