Staying Healthy
What Is in the Five Books of Moses
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
There are repeated suggestions to take care of our bodies. The Five Books of Moses key central and repeated tenets are: respect your body as it was created in the image of God, listen to the commandments and you will be healthy and successful, and if you do not observe the rules, you will have severe consequences often times as diseases or plagues. These would include applying all modern scientific advancements such as vaccines, wearing seatbelts, and not smoking tobacco, and other preventive activities. These hold true today and are the basics of most well-being programs. It is important to remember that the Five Books of Moses was written thousands of years ago. We have so much more understanding of health, wellness, disease management, social interactions, and community well-being than we did thousands of years ago. We now have a great understanding of anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, and genetics. What is described in the Five Books of Moses is based on knowledge at the time they were written. Many diseases we know of today were likely grouped and called skin inflammations and leprosy. I have interpreted these descriptions from the Five Books of Moses to have broader meaning, so they include many health problems we know of today and diseases we understand and have treatments for today. I believe the Five Books off Moses provides us great long standing, time tested, suggestions for prevention of health problems, a good opportunity for having long lives, and suggestions for healthy communities.
