“The body is not for fornication, but for the Lord;
and the Lord for the body.” Verse 13. The Creator
watches over the human machinery, keeping it in
motion. Were it not for His constant care, the pulse
would not beat, the action of the heart would cease,
the brain would no longer act its part.
The brain is the organ and instrument of the
mind and controls the whole body. In order for the
other parts of the system to be healthy, the brain
must be healthy. And in order for the brain to be
healthy, the blood must be pure. If by correct habits
of eating and drinking the blood is kept pure, the
brain will be properly nourished.
