Treasures of Healthy Living

by Annette Reeder and Dr. Richard Couey

Get ready to get healthy God's way. There are dramatic health benefits when we eat the food God provides for us instead of the processed packaged food man provides. Since changing their diet in 2003, Annette and her husband have come off of all their prescriptions, lowered triglycerides from over 900 to 140, lowered cholesterol from 300 to 160, and lowered their blood pressure to normal.

Annette Reeder, a Biblical Nutrition Consultant, is leading people all around the country on an adventure with the power of food to change lives one meal and prayer at a time. Annette is a graduate of Liberty University and Huntington College Health Sciences and the founder of Designed Healthy Living a nutrition consulting ministry.

Margie's Comments: My stress-eating weight gain at the end of last year and the first of this year brought on by Roger's year-long unemployment, moving for him to have a job, and having to short sale our house in Denver resulted in needing to lose 20–25 pounds. We already eat fairly healthy because of Roger's diabetes, but the in-between meal snacking and constantly "needing" something in my mouth while I work did me in. This book tour for Glass Road Public Relations came at a time when I was motivated to do more. The author approaches the subject of healthy eating and living with a Bible study, guiding the reader through basic principles in God's Word. She intersperses the biblical teaching with facts about eating right, getting enough exercise, and working on a living and vibrant relationship with the Lord. Reading and working through this book has reaffirmed much of what I already knew and has encouraged me to be more consistent in incorporating those principles into my life.
