Honoring the Lord with how we take care of our bodies is vital in maintaining our spiritual health because it’s the temple of the Holy Spirit. Katherine Pasour is an author, teacher, and speaker with a passion for educating others on healthy living and wellness. She gives common-sense ways we can acquire and maintain healthy habits. “God wants us to have an abundant life and to treat our body the way that God wants us to treat it,” she says. Katherine also points out how physical health intersects with spiritual and emotional health. She encourages eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables per day, avoiding processed foods and fast food, and getting some outdoor activity in each day.
