Today, I want to talk to you about sugar. Sugar to me is an important subject because it's something that we don't always have enough information about. But it's so very important to be armed with all the information you can have. I started at an early age, eating sweets and chocolates. It was always the best way to spend my pocket money. My dad would get paid at the end of every week. And so he'd come home and give my sister and I pocket money and we'd go to the local newspaper store and we would buy candy of some kind. Now later in life, this turned into a habit which eventually took hold of my life. My life revolved around my next fix. And it became so bad that I'd hide my chocolate and then go and hide in my bedroom to cover up the amount of chocolate I was actually  eating and woe to anybody that touched my sweet stash - my chocolate stash. And of course this not only led to weight gain, but eventually it contributed to worsening migraines, brain fog, lack of energy and disease. And I was miserable. I was so out of control with my cravings, and hadn't even put the pieces together to realize that the sugar was linked to my waning health. And after I finally decided to go to the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, I was finally armed with the tools I needed to turn my life around, which was exactly what I did and my life's been transformed so that I can maintain my weight, lowered my migraines exponentially. I have endless energy and I'm focused and full of life, but best of all, it wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be. So I do have some real life solutions to the same issues that you might be facing. So are you ready to make a health healthy choice and make your health a priority? So here are some things about sugar cravings. Sugar is a toxin. It's been closely linked to obesity, insulin resistance, Type II Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, liver disease, mood disorders, and even cancer. Doesn't sound so sweet, right? While I was experiencing the high blood pressure, the high cholesterol. But after I got onto this healthy lifestyle, I got off my meds and I did so much better. Now our body craves sugar for various reasons. So my intention is to help you understand those cravings and eliminate them for optimal health. When you eat sugar, it releases chemicals in the brain that make us feel good. And let me tell you, this is something that scared me off. It's the same chemical in the brain that may makes people feel good when they're addicted to drugs, to narcotics, to cocaine - it's the same brain function. And we often turn to sugar in times of stress, boredom and distress, right? When we turn to sugar to make ourselves feel good iIn times of stress, we start to crave sugar as a pick me up when we're feeling down, and then it becomes an emotional dependence on sugar. It's difficult to identify and it's hard to break. So ending sugar addiction is actually about more than just eliminating sugar from your diet, but you have to address your emotional dependency on sugar. You need to identify your emotional triggers that what makes you crave that sugar - what's causing stress eating. When are you eating sugar for energy? When are you eating sugar or sweets out of  boredom? And then you have to find non-food ways to fill yourself up. So many of us are even shocked when we, some of the hidden sources of added sugar in our diet. And that's probably because people are so used to really sweet things that they don't think about it - the added sugars that are present in some of the foods that we eat. But take, for example, the added sugars in salad dressing, sauces, granola bars, yogurt, oatmeal, the sweetened cereals, canned fruits. So you really need to look at labels for condiments. Most people don't know that ketchup is loaded with sugar or sugar added to salad dressing. That turns a healthy salad into a non-healthy food that you're eating. And then people aren't really aware of the fact that refined carbs are no different than sugar. Anything that's made from bleached white flours should be avoided. And then there are certain foods that you shouldn't consume because they're too starchy. And these include you start starchy vegetables like corn and potatoes. So if these are things that you love, I'm not saying don't ever eat them, but just limit them, use them in moderation.   And it's recommended that you avoid fruits that have a high glycemic index. These include bananas, pineapples, and watermelon, oh and make sure not to eat dried fruits either because they contain lots of concentrated sugar or they are often prepared with additional sugars. Then artificial sweeteners. And you might ask, well, why should we avoid artificial sweeteners? Well, aside of the fact that they're just not healthy for you, there are some other issues as well. Artificial sweeteners are many times sweeter than sugar, and they can desensitize your taste buds to sweetness. And that ends up with more sugar cravings. And also artificial sweeteners are known to actually increase your appetite. So that's totally counterproductive. So some of the reasons that we get cravings: Dehydration is a big one. Lack of water sends the message that you're thirsty in on the verge of dehydration and dehydration can actually manifest as a mild hunger. So the first thing to do when you get a craving is to drink a full glass of water. That will really help to tell you, am I craving something? Am I hungry? Am I dehydrated? It can really be an eye-opener for you. Then you may not be eating balanced meals, or you may be eating too much of one thing because not eating a proper balanced selection of foods can cause cravings. So to try to get that and maintain that balance. So for example, eating a diet to rich and sugar may cause cravings for something salty or savory. Eating too many raw foods might cause cravings for extremely cooked foods. So be sure to incorporate high quality protein and healthy fats into your meals to satisfy your hunger. When you have a proper balance of foods, your cravings won't be as strong. So oftentimes cravings come when we're stressed, sad, angry, or even bored.   So when you're reaching for a bag of chips or you find yourself day that tub of ice cream, ask yourself these questions, am I really hungry? 2. Is something upsetting me? 3. Did someone hurt my feelings? 4. Can I find another way to comfort myself? You can find something that doesn't involve food to comfort yourself. It can be a warm bath, snuggling with your pet, watching a funny movie, reading a good book, or an activity that you love. Then sometimes we have inadequate nutrients and that will produce odd cravings. So for example, inadequate mineral levels produce salt cravings, and overall inadequate nutrition produces cravings for non-nutritional forms of energy like caffeine. And yes, you guessed it - sugar. So eat plenty of whole foods and cut back on the processed and the fast foods, because that will help to boost your nutrient intake. Then hormonal imbalances play a role here when women, women experience menstruation pregnancy or menopause, fluctuating, testosterone, and estrogen levels may cause unique cravings. So if you ever noticed how badly you want chocolate or chips during that time of month, ladies,  is if yes, don't be so hard on yourself, just perhaps choose the healthiest snack options on hand, and that will help satisfy those cravings. Maybe you're not eating enough. We all have busy schedules, stressful lifestyles, and that often causes us to skip meals or not eat enough. And that could result in low blood sugar, mood swings and low energy. And then we reach for the comfort foods or something quick, like a bag of chips because we're starving. So aim to eat three meals per day. And then if you are a snack eater in between, eat some healthy snacks. Now, remember sugar can be found everywhere you look. It's. One of the main ingredients is sweet treats like cakes, cookies, and candy. Um, but it's also used in, uh, to sweeten many common beverages, including fruit juice, iced tea, premium coffees, and soda. It can even be found in foods you might not expect. And I'm going to list some here for you. And some of them have surprisingly large amounts of sugar. Bread. So it's a dietary staple that many others eat on a daily basis, but it doesn't have a particularly sweet taste, but it's actually a hidden source of sugar with an average loaf containing approximately 36 and up grams of sugar. So I always tell my clients, if you really want the bread, go to a grocery store here, we have Publix and go to the bakery section. There you go to at least get a healthier version. And of course try if you can eating the dark breads Cereal Bars. These are seen by many people as quick convenient sources of healthy carbs, vitamins and minerals. But these popular snacks are really a concentrated source of sugar with some packing up to 15 grams of snack per cereal bar. And the same goes for protein bars, low fat salad dressings. They're often marketed as a healthy way to flavor your salad without adding excess fat to your diet. However, the manufacturers don't tell us that there's extra sugar and salt that are often added to these salad dressings to compensate for their low fat content to make them taste better. And some low fat salad dressings even contain as much as five grams of sugar per tablespoon to tomato-based pastas to tomato based pasta sauce - something that many us use multiple times a week to prepare tasty, pasta based dinner recipes. The rich tomato flavor of these tasty sauce actually masks the fact that they can contain up to 30 grams of sugar per cup. Yogurt.  O love yogurt. And it's a popular food many of us believe to be healthy, but can contain significant amounts of sugar. So the amount of sugar obviously varies between the variety, the brands, what kind you buy. And some of the worst offenders have 30 grams of sugar per serving. My recommendation is always that you go to a healthy whole fat yogurt, something like a Greek yogurt, and then check your labels for the healthier option. Now, despite its prevalence in our diet, sugar is something you really need to limit your consumption of, or even stop eating completely. And here's why. Not only is it damaging to your health, but it can also affect your energy levels, your happiness, your weight, and yes, even how old you look. So it might be surprising to hear that cutting back on sugar can actually make you happier. After all, we often associate the experience of adding in our favorite sugary treat with positive and joyful emotions, right? But what you might not notice is that a few hours after filling up on the sugar, your mood starts to dip and then you start to crave sugar again. And the only way to satisfy this craving, and lift you mood back up, is to eat more sugary foods. And then it starts that cycle again. And the long term result is that really not good. You experience a temporary boost in happiness after eating the sugar, followed by extended dips in emotion, which ultimately leads to depending on sugar for happiness, becoming addicted to this sweet eat substance. And in fact, studies have shown that sugar consumption can even lead to depression. So if you've relied on sugar to lift your mood in the past, you're probably wondering what you should eat instead. Well, the good news is there are plenty of foods that you can eat to enhance your mood, to stabilize mood - and in a permanent way. So the list I'm going to give you outlines just five of the best foods you can eat for happiness, Brazil nuts, which are packed with selenium, a powerful nutrient when it comes to your mood, filling up on selenium-rich foods   enhances your mood in a stable way. Filling up on these selenium-rich foods has been associated with increased happiness and a reduced risk of depression. Then oatmeal, your natural oatmeal. It doesn't just warm you up physically. It can also give you a mental feeling of warmth and happiness. And the reason for this is it contains high levels of fiber. And that helps to regulate your blood sugar glucose levels, which keeps you feeling consistently happy. Oysters. They contain high levels of zinc, and that's an important nutrient for brain health. Been linked with improvements in mood. They also contain high levels of tyrosine, and that's a hormone that helps to keep depression at bay and enhance your mood. Salmon. This is probably not a surprise, but it's a top source of omega three essential fatty acids and various studies have highlighted that each a diet rich omega3 central fatty acids can stabilize your mood and fight depression. Then this might surprise you because Turkey is an excellent source of tryptophan. And we often think about the chemical of Turkey, making us feel sluggish and tired, but tryptophan is an amino acid that's been shown to raise the levels of serotonin in your body. Like the Brazil nuts. And studies have linked that high level of serotonin with feelings of happiness and wellbeing. And it's also rich in mood boosting tyrosine. So definitely sugar affects your energy levels. Carbs are your body's preferred energy source. So to hear that cutting back on sugar, which is the simplest carbs, will increase your energy levels might sound confusing, but while it's true that eating sugar will boost your energy levels, as I've said, it's only temporary and eventually leads to that energy crash and over time, those sugar crashes become more and more severe. And your overall health levels decline, and you also become dependent on sugar for energy. And without it, you feel tired and depleted. And I can so relate to that with my old times past at that 3:00 PM slump. So if you want stay able long term improvements in your energy levels, sugar's not the answer. So here's what to eat instead. There are lots of low sugar or sugar free foods out there that can improve your energy levels, coffee, for example. So while it contains no sugar and no calories, it is packed with energy boosting nutrients. It contains high levels of caffeine, which stimulates the nervous system. It gives you an immediate energy boost, and it's a brilliant source of cafe acid, which is a nutrient that stabilizes your blood glucose levels and helps you avoid any pressure in energy. And know, I'm not saying go sit and drink coffee all day long. You only need to be drinking a couple of cups of coffee a day to get good results. Flax seeds are another one with countless health benefits, and they're are great source of energy production. They're packed with fiber, which slows the release of glucose into your bloodstream and ensures that your body has a constant stable source of energy. Flax seed also contains plenty of omega three central fatty acids, which as we've said, supports your body's energy production process. Green Tea is another zero calorie, zero sugar energy drink. The caffeine in green tea provides you with an instant energy lift while the flavonoids it contains support energy production helped maintain your energy levels in the long term. And then yes, quinoa a favorite among us vegetarians. And there are plenty of reasons why, because not only does quinoa contain large amounts of protein, but it's also rich and fiber and iron. And as I've already mentioned, fiber helps keep your energy levels stable. And iron keeps your blood cells healthy and ensures that you can transport energy, providing oxygen to the cells that need it. So let's face it. Sugar affects your health. It can be extremely harmful to your health. It can damage many areas of your body, let alone the fact it rots your teeth, destroys your blood vessels and can overload your liver. It's also the number one leading cause of weight gain and obesity, which further harms your body. And then in, in addition to this, sugar's been associated with various chronic diseases, including cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and liver disease. So by cutting sugar, out of your diet, you can avoid all of these health problems and significantly, significantly enhance your health. If you already have these health problems, by cutting it out, it will help improve your health. So eliminating sugar from your diet is a great way to improve your overall health, but to maximize your health, you should also ensure that your done is rich in super foods. Things like avocado. It's a top source of monounsaturated. The monounsaturated fats help regulate the levels of cholesterol in your body, reduce inflammation and protect against cancer. While the glycogen is a powerful antioxidant that prevents free radicals from harming body cells. Broccoli is a versatile green. It's an excellent source of vitamin B manganese phosphorus and vitamin C and eat it regularly because then you can enjoy a range of health benefits, including cancer protection, improved digestion and healthy eyes. Eggs are good for you. They're rich in healthy fats, protein and many different nutrients. The protein in eggs actually helps to build, maintain in and repair all your body's cells while the other nutrients boost your brain regulate your blood cholesterol levels, strengthen your eyes and much more. Spinach is another great one high levels of 10 different vitamins and minerals, which enhance your health in various ways. And some of the main health benefits as spinach includes lowering your cancer risk, healthier hearts and stronger bones. And then of course, let's not forget that sugar is one of the leading causes of weight gain, It's a highly addictive substance and it stimulates the area of your brain that causes cravings. As I've said, and this makes you much more likely to overindulge when eating sugar, thereby consuming excess calories, which then causes weight gain. And second processed sugary foods often contain very little if any other nutrients. So as a result of eating sugary foods, they early satisfy your appetite. But in the meantime, they're adding tons of calories to your waistline. So finally sugars often added to drinks and consumed in liquid calories. Another great reason for getting rid of those and drinking lots of water. So cut down on sugar is a fantastic way to start losing weight and you should see improvements quite quickly, but if you want to accelerate your weight loss further, try adding these five foods and drinks to your diet as well. Brown rice, it's tasty, versatile and filling can be used with so different meals. And it's a great source of complex carbs, which slowly releases into your bloodstream after you eat and stops you from being hungry in between meals, chia seeds, which I recommend that you grind first, they're rich in healthy fats, various nutrients. They regulate your appetite and make it easier for you to eat in moderation, chili peppers. They're a great way to give your food, a hot satisfying flavor, but did you know, they also stimulate your body's fat burning processes. And by eating them regularly, you can speed up the rate at which your body burns fat. And soy - now, I'm not a huge proponent of soy, but soy has lots of fiber and protein, which are satiating and help you feel full longer. If you eat soy and of course, water by drinking, plenty of water and staying hydrated, you maximize your body's burning fat processes and you lose more weight. And the last thing I want to mention is how sugar affects your looks. So many people aren't aware that sugar accelerates the aging process. Sugar speeds up the rate at which we age both internally and externally.  A comment about bananas. You leave them out on the counter, they go brown on the outside, you open them up and then your banana is soggy and sugary like yucky. Well, that's what goes on the inside AR as well. So not quite so nice when you think about it that way. So when you eat sugar, it causes a surge in your blood glucose levels. And that spike is harmful to your blood vessels, your vital organs. And over time, this damage makes your blood vessels and vital organs deteriorate and become less functional and elevated. Blood glucose also leads to inflammation, which causes your skin to become dehydrated stiff and has less elasticity this results in your skin, having a dry, dull and aged appearance. So by eating less sugar or avoiding it completely, you can ensure that you remain healthy, vibrant, and youthful both internally and externally. So there are some things that you can do to slow down the aging process and feel younger. So cinnamon and I always recommend Ceylon cinnamon. It's an aromatic spice that can be used to flavor your foods. You can drink it in tea, put it in your smoothies. Iit helps promote healthy blood flow within the body, which helps to reinvigorate rate the skin and also slows down the aging of your internal cells and vital organs. Extra Virgin olive oil is a brilliant source of monounsaturated fats that help to strengthen the heart and keep it youthful. They also say that it promotes skin cell regeneration and protect against age related, chronic disease. Green tea filled with powerful antioxidants. These antioxidants boost your brain and help it to remain functional as you age. And they also say that it reduces the risk of contracting age related disorders like Alzheimer's Parkinson's et cetera. And then kale, not necessarily everybody's favorite. Although I love it is one of the healthiest foods around and it contains extremely high levels of antioxidant vitamins, a C and K a helps to maintain healthy vision. As you age C keeps your skin young and elastic as you get older and vitamin K prevents various types of aging related declines. So as you can see, there are plenty of reasons that you should ditch sugar in your diet. We're going to help you to start breaking your sugar habit by leaving you with five top tips today. Check the ingredient list on your foods. One of the simplest ways to cut back on sugar is to check the ingredient list on your, your foods before you buy them. In addition to sugar, look for the ingredients such as cane juices, and then those that be that end in “ose” like dextrose, fructose, glucose lactose, Maltose, sucrose and syrup. If you see any of these things high up on the ingredient list, the food contain high levels of sugar and is definitely something that you should avoid. Then ditch the sugary drinks, even the fruit juices, the iced tea, the sodas they're easy to identify and eliminate from your diet. If you find yourself getting bored with just water after giving up sugary drinks, try mixing up your intake, coffee, green tea and fruit infused water, then have a healthy breakfast. Now cereal is one of the most popular breakfast options, but it's also a major food source of sugar. So to avoid the excess sugar and cereal, start the day with a healthy breakfast option like oatmeal from it, pure form or an omelet instead then use sweet spices. Sweet spices are an excellent way to add a dose of sweetness while still avoiding the sugar. And that includes Cacao which is your healthiest version of cocoa. Cinnamon, as I mentioned, citruses, ginger, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Then fill on low sugar fruits. So this contains obviously less sugar, but they're an excellent way to satisfy your sweet tooth while keeping your overall sugar intake under control and some of the best sugars alike. BlackBerrys 3.5 grams of sugar per half cup blueberries, seven grams of sugar. A half cup raspberries is my favorite 2.5 grams of sugar, a half a cup. So eat naturally sweet fruits and vegetables like BES, apples, apricots, sweet potatoes, onions, beets, and carrots. During your regular meal. swap white sugar for natural sweeteners like honey maple syrup, coconut sugar, date sugar. If you baking and then use it to add it to your coffee, if you need it, then incorporate greens into your meals, increase your healthy fats, like olive oil, nuts, wild coat salmon, avocadoes grass fed beef coconut to it keeps you satisfied for hours. Then don't forgot to add in self-care. Many people that reach for sugar when they're upset or stressed out can really manage it a different way. Try changing the game. Treat yourself with non-food items and activities like a warm bath, a self-massage with lavender oil or walk in nature, or watch a funny movie, try change a perception of stress. Not only can chronic stress cause high blood pressure, but it also causes hormonal imbalances, sleep issues, weight gains, and it aggravates your autoimmune diseases, but think differently about your stresses and implement these self-care stress, reducing activities, even meditation, deep breathing, and it helps you to feel more balanced. So my last thing that I want to stress is stop dieting - ditch that diet mentality. Think about it as a healthy lifestyle. When an item is low fat or fat free, then it's usually replaced with sugar or sodium to add flavor. And this causes you to get accustomed to the sweet foods resulting in cravings. So don't be afraid of fat. Find some healthy sweet alternatives. A piece of fruit can be your go-to when you want something sweet and there's nothing wrong with indulging now. And then with some good quality, dark chocolate or chia pudding, or even dairy free ice cream.   So if this is something that you struggle with, I have lots of ways that I can help you.

It's been closely linked to obesity, insulin resistance, Type II Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, liver disease, mood disorders, and even cancer. Doesn't sound so sweet, right? While I was experiencing the high blood pressure, the high cholesterol. But after I got onto this healthy lifestyle, I got off my meds and I did so much better. Now our body craves sugar for various reasons. So my intention is to help you understand those cravings and eliminate them for optimal health. When you eat sugar, it releases chemicals in the brain that make us feel good. And let me tell you, this is something that scared me off. It's the same chemical in the brain that may makes people feel good when they're addicted to drugs, to narcotics, to cocaine - it's the same brain function. And we often turn to sugar in times of stress, boredom and distress, right? When we turn to sugar to make ourselves feel good iIn times of stress, we start to crave sugar as a pick me up when we're feeling down, and then it becomes an emotional dependence on sugar. It's difficult to identify and it's hard to break. So ending sugar addiction is actually about more than just eliminating sugar from your diet, but you have to address your emotional dependency on sugar. You need to identify your emotional triggers that what makes you crave that sugar - what's causing stress eating. When are you eating sugar for energy? When are you eating sugar or sweets out of  boredom? And then you have to find non-food ways to fill yourself up. So many of us are even shocked when we, some of the hidden sources of added sugar in our diet. And that's probably because people are so used to really sweet things that they don't think about it - the added sugars that are present in some of the foods that we eat. But take, for example, the added sugars in salad dressing, sauces, granola bars, yogurt, oatmeal, the sweetened cereals, canned fruits. So you really need to look at labels for condiments. Most people don't know that ketchup is loaded with sugar or sugar added to salad dressing. That turns a healthy salad into a non-healthy food that you're eating. And then people aren't really aware of the fact that refined carbs are no different than sugar. Anything that's made from bleached white flours should be avoided. And then there are certain foods that you shouldn't consume because they're too starchy. And these include you start starchy vegetables like corn and potatoes. So if these are things that you love, I'm not saying don't ever eat them, but just limit them, use them in moderation.   And it's recommended that you avoid fruits that have a high glycemic index. These include bananas, pineapples, and watermelon, oh and make sure not to eat dried fruits either because they contain lots of concentrated sugar or they are often prepared with additional sugars. Then artificial sweeteners. And you might ask, well, why should we avoid artificial sweeteners? Well, aside of the fact that they're just not healthy for you, there are some other issues as well. Artificial sweeteners are many times sweeter than sugar, and they can desensitize your taste buds to sweetness. And that ends up with more sugar cravings. And also artificial sweeteners are known to actually increase your appetite. So that's totally counterproductive. So some of the reasons that we get cravings: Dehydration is a big one. Lack of water sends the message that you're thirsty in on the verge of dehydration and dehydration can actually manifest as a mild hunger. So the first thing to do when you get a craving is to drink a full glass of water. That will really help to tell you, am I craving something? Am I hungry? Am I dehydrated? It can really be an eye-opener for you. Then you may not be eating balanced meals, or you may be eating too much of one thing because not eating a proper balanced selection of foods can cause cravings. So to try to get that and maintain that balance. So for example, eating a diet to rich and sugar may cause cravings for something salty or savory. Eating too many raw foods might cause cravings for extremely cooked foods. So be sure to incorporate high quality protein and healthy fats into your meals to satisfy your hunger. When you have a proper balance of foods, your cravings won't be as strong. So oftentimes cravings come when we're stressed, sad, angry, or even bored.   So when you're reaching for a bag of chips or you find yourself day that tub of ice cream, ask yourself these questions, am I really hungry? 2. Is something upsetting me? 3. Did someone hurt my feelings? 4. Can I find another way to comfort myself? You can find something that doesn't involve food to comfort yourself. It can be a warm bath, snuggling with your pet, watching a funny movie, reading a good book, or an activity that you love. Then sometimes we have inadequate nutrients and that will produce odd cravings. So for example, inadequate mineral levels produce salt cravings, and overall inadequate nutrition produces cravings for non-nutritional forms of energy like caffeine. And yes, you guessed it - sugar. So eat plenty of whole foods and cut back on the processed and the fast foods, because that will help to boost your nutrient intake. Then hormonal imbalances play a role here when women, women experience menstruation pregnancy or menopause, fluctuating, testosterone, and estrogen levels may cause unique cravings. So if you ever noticed how badly you want chocolate or chips during that time of month, ladies,  is if yes, don't be so hard on yourself, just perhaps choose the healthiest snack options on hand, and that will help satisfy those cravings. Maybe you're not eating enough. We all have busy schedules, stressful lifestyles, and that often causes us to skip meals or not eat enough. And that could result in low blood sugar, mood swings and low energy. And then we reach for the comfort foods or something quick, like a bag of chips because we're starving. So aim to eat three meals per day. And then if you are a snack eater in between, eat some healthy snacks. Now, remember sugar can be found everywhere you look. It's. One of the main ingredients is sweet treats like cakes, cookies, and candy. Um, but it's also used in, uh, to sweeten many common beverages, including fruit juice, iced tea, premium coffees, and soda. It can even be found in foods you might not expect. And I'm going to list some here for you. And some of them have surprisingly large amounts of sugar. Bread. So it's a dietary staple that many others eat on a daily basis, but it doesn't have a particularly sweet taste, but it's actually a hidden source of sugar with an average loaf containing approximately 36 and up grams of sugar. So I always tell my clients, if you really want the bread, go to a grocery store here, we have Publix and go to the bakery section. There you go to at least get a healthier version. And of course try if you can eating the dark breads Cereal Bars. These are seen by many people as quick convenient sources of healthy carbs, vitamins and minerals. But these popular snacks are really a concentrated source of sugar with some packing up to 15 grams of snack per cereal bar. And the same goes for protein bars, low fat salad dressings. They're often marketed as a healthy way to flavor your salad without adding excess fat to your diet. However, the manufacturers don't tell us that there's extra sugar and salt that are often added to these salad dressings to compensate for their low fat content to make them taste better. And some low fat salad dressings even contain as much as five grams of sugar per tablespoon to tomato-based pastas to tomato based pasta sauce - something that many us use multiple times a week to prepare tasty, pasta based dinner recipes. The rich tomato flavor of these tasty sauce actually masks the fact that they can contain up to 30 grams of sugar per cup. Yogurt.  O love yogurt. And it's a popular food many of us believe to be healthy, but can contain significant amounts of sugar. So the amount of sugar obviously varies between the variety, the brands, what kind you buy. And some of the worst offenders have 30 grams of sugar per serving. My recommendation is always that you go to a healthy whole fat yogurt, something like a Greek yogurt, and then check your labels for the healthier option. Now, despite its prevalence in our diet, sugar is something you really need to limit your consumption of, or even stop eating completely. And here's why. Not only is it damaging to your health, but it can also affect your energy levels, your happiness, your weight, and yes, even how old you look. So it might be surprising to hear that cutting back on sugar can actually make you happier. After all, we often associate the experience of adding in our favorite sugary treat with positive and joyful emotions, right? But what you might not notice is that a few hours after filling up on the sugar, your mood starts to dip and then you start to crave sugar again. And the only way to satisfy this craving, and lift you mood back up, is to eat more sugary foods. And then it starts that cycle again. And the long term result is that really not good. You experience a temporary boost in happiness after eating the sugar, followed by extended dips in emotion, which ultimately leads to depending on sugar for happiness, becoming addicted to this sweet eat substance. And in fact, studies have shown that sugar consumption can even lead to depression. So if you've relied on sugar to lift your mood in the past, you're probably wondering what you should eat instead. Well, the good news is there are plenty of foods that you can eat to enhance your mood, to stabilize mood - and in a permanent way. So the list I'm going to give you outlines just five of the best foods you can eat for happiness, Brazil nuts, which are packed with selenium, a powerful nutrient when it comes to your mood, filling up on selenium-rich foods   enhances your mood in a stable way. Filling up on these selenium-rich foods has been associated with increased happiness and a reduced risk of depression. Then oatmeal, your natural oatmeal. It doesn't just warm you up physically. It can also give you a mental feeling of warmth and happiness. And the reason for this is it contains high levels of fiber. And that helps to regulate your blood sugar glucose levels, which keeps you feeling consistently happy. Oysters. They contain high levels of zinc, and that's an important nutrient for brain health. Been linked with improvements in mood. They also contain high levels of tyrosine, and that's a hormone that helps to keep depression at bay and enhance your mood. Salmon. This is probably not a surprise, but it's a top source of omega three essential fatty acids and various studies have highlighted that each a diet rich omega3 central fatty acids can stabilize your mood and fight depression. Then this might surprise you because Turkey is an excellent source of tryptophan. And we often think about the chemical of Turkey, making us feel sluggish and tired, but tryptophan is an amino acid that's been shown to raise the levels of serotonin in your body. Like the Brazil nuts. And studies have linked that high level of serotonin with feelings of happiness and wellbeing. And it's also rich in mood boosting tyrosine. So definitely sugar affects your energy levels. Carbs are your body's preferred energy source. So to hear that cutting back on sugar, which is the simplest carbs, will increase your energy levels might sound confusing, but while it's true that eating sugar will boost your energy levels, as I've said, it's only temporary and eventually leads to that energy crash and over time, those sugar crashes become more and more severe. And your overall health levels decline, and you also become dependent on sugar for energy. And without it, you feel tired and depleted. And I can so relate to that with my old times past at that 3:00 PM slump. So if you want stay able long term improvements in your energy levels, sugar's not the answer. So here's what to eat instead. There are lots of low sugar or sugar free foods out there that can improve your energy levels, coffee, for example. So while it contains no sugar and no calories, it is packed with energy boosting nutrients. It contains high levels of caffeine, which stimulates the nervous system. It gives you an immediate energy boost, and it's a brilliant source of cafe acid, which is a nutrient that stabilizes your blood glucose levels and helps you avoid any pressure in energy. And know, I'm not saying go sit and drink coffee all day long. You only need to be drinking a couple of cups of coffee a day to get good results. Flax seeds are another one with countless health benefits, and they're are great source of energy production. They're packed with fiber, which slows the release of glucose into your bloodstream and ensures that your body has a constant stable source of energy. Flax seed also contains plenty of omega three central fatty acids, which as we've said, supports your body's energy production process. Green Tea is another zero calorie, zero sugar energy drink. The caffeine in green tea provides you with an instant energy lift while the flavonoids it contains support energy production helped maintain your energy levels in the long term. And then yes, quinoa a favorite among us vegetarians. And there are plenty of reasons why, because not only does quinoa contain large amounts of protein, but it's also rich and fiber and iron. And as I've already mentioned, fiber helps keep your energy levels stable. And iron keeps your blood cells healthy and ensures that you can transport energy, providing oxygen to the cells that need it. So let's face it. Sugar affects your health. It can be extremely harmful to your health. It can damage many areas of your body, let alone the fact it rots your teeth, destroys your blood vessels and can overload your liver. It's also the number one leading cause of weight gain and obesity, which further harms your body. And then in, in addition to this, sugar's been associated with various chronic diseases, including cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and liver disease. So by cutting sugar, out of your diet, you can avoid all of these health problems and significantly, significantly enhance your health. If you already have these health problems, by cutting it out, it will help improve your health. So eliminating sugar from your diet is a great way to improve your overall health, but to maximize your health, you should also ensure that your done is rich in super foods. Things like avocado. It's a top source of monounsaturated. The monounsaturated fats help regulate the levels of cholesterol in your body, reduce inflammation and protect against cancer. While the glycogen is a powerful antioxidant that prevents free radicals from harming body cells. Broccoli is a versatile green. It's an excellent source of vitamin B manganese phosphorus and vitamin C and eat it regularly because then you can enjoy a range of health benefits, including cancer protection, improved digestion and healthy eyes. Eggs are good for you. They're rich in healthy fats, protein and many different nutrients. The protein in eggs actually helps to build, maintain in and repair all your body's cells while the other nutrients boost your brain regulate your blood cholesterol levels, strengthen your eyes and much more. Spinach is another great one high levels of 10 different vitamins and minerals, which enhance your health in various ways. And some of the main health benefits as spinach includes lowering your cancer risk, healthier hearts and stronger bones. And then of course, let's not forget that sugar is one of the leading causes of weight gain, It's a highly addictive substance and it stimulates the area of your brain that causes cravings. As I've said, and this makes you much more likely to overindulge when eating sugar, thereby consuming excess calories, which then causes weight gain. And second processed sugary foods often contain very little if any other nutrients. So as a result of eating sugary foods, they early satisfy your appetite. But in the meantime, they're adding tons of calories to your waistline. So finally sugars often added to drinks and consumed in liquid calories. Another great reason for getting rid of those and drinking lots of water. So cut down on sugar is a fantastic way to start losing weight and you should see improvements quite quickly, but if you want to accelerate your weight loss further, try adding these five foods and drinks to your diet as well. Brown rice, it's tasty, versatile and filling can be used with so different meals. And it's a great source of complex carbs, which slowly releases into your bloodstream after you eat and stops you from being hungry in between meals, chia seeds, which I recommend that you grind first, they're rich in healthy fats, various nutrients. They regulate your appetite and make it easier for you to eat in moderation, chili peppers. They're a great way to give your food, a hot satisfying flavor, but did you know, they also stimulate your body's fat burning processes. And by eating them regularly, you can speed up the rate at which your body burns fat. And soy - now, I'm not a huge proponent of soy, but soy has lots of fiber and protein, which are satiating and help you feel full longer. If you eat soy and of course, water by drinking, plenty of water and staying hydrated, you maximize your body's burning fat processes and you lose more weight. And the last thing I want to mention is how sugar affects your looks. So many people aren't aware that sugar accelerates the aging process. Sugar speeds up the rate at which we age both internally and externally.  A comment about bananas. You leave them out on the counter, they go brown on the outside, you open them up and then your banana is soggy and sugary like yucky. Well, that's what goes on the inside AR as well. So not quite so nice when you think about it that way. So when you eat sugar, it causes a surge in your blood glucose levels. And that spike is harmful to your blood vessels, your vital organs. And over time, this damage makes your blood vessels and vital organs deteriorate and become less functional and elevated. Blood glucose also leads to inflammation, which causes your skin to become dehydrated stiff and has less elasticity this results in your skin, having a dry, dull and aged appearance. So by eating less sugar or avoiding it completely, you can ensure that you remain healthy, vibrant, and youthful both internally and externally. So there are some things that you can do to slow down the aging process and feel younger. So cinnamon and I always recommend Ceylon cinnamon. It's an aromatic spice that can be used to flavor your foods. You can drink it in tea, put it in your smoothies. Iit helps promote healthy blood flow within the body, which helps to reinvigorate rate the skin and also slows down the aging of your internal cells and vital organs. Extra Virgin olive oil is a brilliant source of monounsaturated fats that help to strengthen the heart and keep it youthful. They also say that it promotes skin cell regeneration and protect against age related, chronic disease. Green tea filled with powerful antioxidants. These antioxidants boost your brain and help it to remain functional as you age. And they also say that it reduces the risk of contracting age related disorders like Alzheimer's Parkinson's et cetera. And then kale, not necessarily everybody's favorite. Although I love it is one of the healthiest foods around and it contains extremely high levels of antioxidant vitamins, a C and K a helps to maintain healthy vision. As you age C keeps your skin young and elastic as you get older and vitamin K prevents various types of aging related declines. So as you can see, there are plenty of reasons that you should ditch sugar in your diet. We're going to help you to start breaking your sugar habit by leaving you with five top tips today. Check the ingredient list on your foods. One of the simplest ways to cut back on sugar is to check the ingredient list on your, your foods before you buy them. In addition to sugar, look for the ingredients such as cane juices, and then those that be that end in “ose” like dextrose, fructose, glucose lactose, Maltose, sucrose and syrup. If you see any of these things high up on the ingredient list, the food contain high levels of sugar and is definitely something that you should avoid. Then ditch the sugary drinks, even the fruit juices, the iced tea, the sodas they're easy to identify and eliminate from your diet. If you find yourself getting bored with just water after giving up sugary drinks, try mixing up your intake, coffee, green tea and fruit infused water, then have a healthy breakfast. Now cereal is one of the most popular breakfast options, but it's also a major food source of sugar. So to avoid the excess sugar and cereal, start the day with a healthy breakfast option like oatmeal from it, pure form or an omelet instead then use sweet spices. Sweet spices are an excellent way to add a dose of sweetness while still avoiding the sugar. And that includes Cacao which is your healthiest version of cocoa. Cinnamon, as I mentioned, citruses, ginger, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Then fill on low sugar fruits. So this contains obviously less sugar, but they're an excellent way to satisfy your sweet tooth while keeping your overall sugar intake under control and some of the best sugars alike. BlackBerrys 3.5 grams of sugar per half cup blueberries, seven grams of sugar. A half cup raspberries is my favorite 2.5 grams of sugar, a half a cup. So eat naturally sweet fruits and vegetables like BES, apples, apricots, sweet potatoes, onions, beets, and carrots. During your regular meal. swap white sugar for natural sweeteners like honey maple syrup, coconut sugar, date sugar. If you baking and then use it to add it to your coffee, if you need it, then incorporate greens into your meals, increase your healthy fats, like olive oil, nuts, wild coat salmon, avocadoes grass fed beef coconut to it keeps you satisfied for hours. Then don't forgot to add in self-care. Many people that reach for sugar when they're upset or stressed out can really manage it a different way. Try changing the game. Treat yourself with non-food items and activities like a warm bath, a self-massage with lavender oil or walk in nature, or watch a funny movie, try change a perception of stress. Not only can chronic stress cause high blood pressure, but it also causes hormonal imbalances, sleep issues, weight gains, and it aggravates your autoimmune diseases, but think differently about your stresses and implement these self-care stress, reducing activities, even meditation, deep breathing, and it helps you to feel more balanced. So my last thing that I want to stress is stop dieting - ditch that diet mentality. Think about it as a healthy lifestyle. When an item is low fat or fat free, then it's usually replaced with sugar or sodium to add flavor. And this causes you to get accustomed to the sweet foods resulting in cravings. So don't be afraid of fat. Find some healthy sweet alternatives. A piece of fruit can be your go-to when you want something sweet and there's nothing wrong with indulging now. And then with some good quality, dark chocolate or chia pudding, or even dairy free ice cream.   So if this is something that you struggle with, I have lots of ways that I can help you.

Psalms and Wisdom: Psalm 1 Psalm 1 (Listen) Book One The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked 1   Blessed is the man1    who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,  nor stands in the way of sinners,    nor sits in the seat of scoffers;2   but his delight is in the law2 of the LORD,    and on his law he meditates day and night. 3   He is like a tree    planted by streams of water  that yields its fruit in its season,    and its leaf does not wither.  In all that he does, he prospers.4   The wicked are not so,    but are like chaff that the wind drives away. 5   Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,    nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;6   for the LORD knows the way of the righteous,    but the way of the wicked will perish. Footnotes [1] 1:1 The singular Hebrew word for man (ish) is used here to portray a representative example of a godly person; see Preface [2] 1:2 Or instruction (ESV) Pentateuch and History: Genesis 2 Genesis 2 (Listen) The Seventh Day, God Rests 2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. 3 So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation. The Creation of Man and Woman 4   These are the generations  of the heavens and the earth when they were created,  in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens. 5 When no bush of the field1 was yet in the land2 and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up—for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground, 6 and a mist3 was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground—7 then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. 8 And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9 And out of the ground the LORD God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 10 A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers. 11 The name of the first is the Pishon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there. 13 The name of the second river is the Gihon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Cush. 14 And the name of the third river is the Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. 15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat4 of it you shall surely die.” 18 Then the LORD God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for5 him.” 19 Now out of the ground the LORD God had formed6 every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam7 there was not found a helper fit for him. 21 So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. 22 And the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man he made8 into a woman and brought her to the man. 23 Then the man said,   “This at last is bone of my bones    and flesh of my flesh;  she shall be called Woman,    because she was taken out of Man.”9 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. 25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed. Footnotes [1] 2:5 Or open country [2] 2:5 Or earth; also verse 6 [3] 2:6 Or spring [4] 2:17 Or when you eat [5] 2:18 Or corresponding to; also verse 20 [6] 2:19 Or And out of the ground the Lord God formed [7] 2:20 Or the man [8] 2:22 Hebrew built [9] 2:23 The Hebrew words for woman (ishshah) and man (ish) sound alike (ESV) Chronicles and Prophets: 1 Chronicles 2 1 Chronicles 2 (Listen) A Genealogy of David 2 These are the sons of Israel: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, 2 Dan, Joseph, Benjamin, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. 3 The sons of Judah: Er, Onan and Shelah; these three Bath-shua the Canaanite bore to him. Now Er, Judah's firstborn, was evil in the sight of the LORD, and he put him to death. 4 His daughter-in-law Tamar also bore him Perez and Zerah. Judah had five sons in all. 5 The sons of Perez: Hezron and Hamul. 6 The sons of Zerah: Zimri, Ethan, Heman, Calcol, and Dara, five in all. 7 The son1 of Carmi: Achan, the troubler of Israel, who broke faith in the matter of the devoted thing; 8 and Ethan's son was Azariah. 9 The sons of Hezron that were born to him: Jerahmeel, Ram, and Chelubai. 10 Ram fathered Amminadab, and Amminadab fathered Nahshon, prince of the sons of Judah. 11 Nahshon fathered Salmon,2 Salmon fathered Boaz, 12 Boaz fathered Obed, Obed fathered Jesse. 13 Jesse fathered Eliab his firstborn, Abinadab the second, Shimea the third, 14 Nethanel the fourth, Raddai the fifth, 15 Ozem the sixth, David the seventh. 16 And their sisters were Zeruiah and Abigail. The sons of Zeruiah: Abishai, Joab, and Asahel, three. 17 Abigail bore Amasa, and the father of Amasa was Jether the Ishmaelite. 18 Caleb the son of Hezron fathered children by his wife Azubah, and by Jerioth; and these were her sons: Jesher, Shobab, and Ardon. 19 When Azubah died, Caleb married Ephrath, who bore him Hur. 20 Hur fathered Uri, and Uri fathered Bezalel. 21 Afterward Hezron went in to the daughter of Machir the father of Gilead, whom he married when he was sixty years old, and she bore him Segub. 22 And Segub fathered Jair, who had twenty-three cities in the land of Gilead. 23 But Geshur and Aram took from them Havvoth-jair, Kenath, and its villages, sixty towns. All these were descendants of Machir, the father of Gilead. 24 After the death of Hezron, Caleb went in to Ephrathah,3 the wife of Hezron his father, and she bore him Ashhur, the father of Tekoa. 25 The sons of Jerahmeel, the firstborn of Hezron: Ram, his firstborn, Bunah, Oren, Ozem, and Ahijah. 26 Jerahmeel also had another wife, whose name was Atarah; she was the mother of Onam. 27 The sons of Ram, the firstborn of Jerahmeel: Maaz, Jamin, and Eker. 28 The sons of Onam: Shammai and Jada. The sons of Shammai: Nadab and Abishur. 29 The name of Abishur's wife was Abihail, and she bore him Ahban and Molid. 30 The sons of Nadab: Seled and Appaim; and Seled died childless. 31 The son4 of Appaim: Ishi.

And the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!”2 29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. 30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” 34 And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”3 35 And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born4 will be called holy—the Son of God. 36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 37 For nothing will be impossible with God.” 38 And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant5 of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her. Mary Visits Elizabeth 39 In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a town in Judah, 40 and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. 41 And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, 42 and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! 43 And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 45 And blessed is she who believed that there would be6 a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.” Mary's Song of Praise: The Magnificat 46 And Mary said,   “My soul magnifies the Lord,47     and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,48   for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.    For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed;49   for he who is mighty has done great things for me,    and holy is his name.50   And his mercy is for those who fear him    from generation to generation.51   He has shown strength with his arm;    he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;52   he has brought down the mighty from their thrones    and exalted those of humble estate;53   he has filled the hungry with good things,    and the rich he has sent away empty.54   He has helped his servant Israel,    in remembrance of his mercy,55   as he spoke to our fathers,    to Abraham and to his offspring forever.” 56 And Mary remained with her about three months and returned to her home.

Old Testament: Genesis 1–2 Genesis 1–2 (Listen) The Creation of the World 1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. 6 And God said, “Let there be an expanse1 in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” 7 And God made2 the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so. 8 And God called the expanse Heaven.3 And there was evening and there was morning, the second day. 9 And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry land Earth,4 and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. 11 And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants5 yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. 12 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day. 14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons,6 and for days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. 16 And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. 17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day. 20 And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds7 fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.” 21 So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day. 24 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds—livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so. 25 And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 26 Then God said, “Let us make man8 in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27   So God created man in his own image,    in the image of God he created him;    male and female he created them. 28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. The Seventh Day, God Rests 2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. 3 So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation. The Creation of Man and Woman 4   These are the generations  of the heavens and the earth when they were created,  in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens. 5 When no bush of the field9 was yet in the land10 and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up—for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground, 6 and a mist11 was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground—7 then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. 8 And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9 And out of the ground the LORD God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 10 A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers. 11 The name of the first is the Pishon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there. 13 The name of the second river is the Gihon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Cush. 14 And the name of the third river is the Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. 15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat12 of it you shall surely die.” 18 Then the LORD God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for13 him.” 19 Now out of the ground the LORD God had formed14 every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam15 there was not found a helper fit for him. 21 So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. 22 And the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man he made16 into a woman and brought her to the man. 23 Then the man said,   “This at last is bone of my bones    and flesh of my flesh;  she shall be called Woman,    because she was taken out of Man.”17 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. 25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.

Footnotes [1] 1:1 The singular Hebrew word for man (ish) is used here to portray a representative example of a godly person; see Preface [2] 1:2 Or instruction (ESV) New Testament: Matthew 1–2 Matthew 1–2 (Listen) The Genealogy of Jesus Christ 1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. 2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, 3 and Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram,1 4 and Ram the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon, 5 and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse, 6 and Jesse the father of David the king. And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah, 7 and Solomon the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asaph,2 8 and Asaph the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah, 9 and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, 10 and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amos,3 and Amos the father of Josiah, 11 and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon. 12 And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel,4 and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, 13 and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, and Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor, 14 and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud, 15 and Eliud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob, 16 and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ. 17 So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations. The Birth of Jesus Christ 18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ5 took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed6 to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. 19 And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. 20 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: 23   “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,    and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us). 24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, 25 but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus. The Visit of the Wise Men 2 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men7 from the east came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose8 and have come to worship him.” 3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; 4 and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. 5 They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet: 6   “‘And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,    are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;  for from you shall come a ruler    who will shepherd my people Israel.'” 7 Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star had appeared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship him.” 9 After listening to the king, they went on their way. And behold, the star that they had seen when it rose went before them until it came to rest over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. 11 And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. 12 And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by another way. The Flight to Egypt 13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.” 14 And he rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed to Egypt 15 and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, “Out of Egypt I called my son.” Herod Kills the Children 16 Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, became furious, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under, according to the time that he had ascertained from the wise men. 17 Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah: 18   “A voice was heard in Ramah,    weeping and loud lamentation,  Rachel weeping for her children;    she refused to be comforted, because they are no more.” The Return to Nazareth 19 But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, 20 saying, “Rise, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child's life are dead.” 21 And he rose and took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel. 22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and being warned in a dream he withdrew to the district of Galilee. 23 And he went and lived in a city called Nazareth, so that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled, that he would be called a Nazarene.

Morning: Genesis 1–2 Genesis 1–2 (Listen) The Creation of the World 1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. 6 And God said, “Let there be an expanse1 in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” 7 And God made2 the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so. 8 And God called the expanse Heaven.3 And there was evening and there was morning, the second day. 9 And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry land Earth,4 and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. 11 And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants5 yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. 12 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day. 14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons,6 and for days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. 16 And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. 17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day. 20 And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds7 fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.” 21 So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day. 24 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds—livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so. 25 And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 26 Then God said, “Let us make man8 in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27   So God created man in his own image,    in the image of God he created him;    male and female he created them. 28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. The Seventh Day, God Rests 2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. 3 So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation. The Creation of Man and Woman 4   These are the generations  of the heavens and the earth when they were created,  in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens. 5 When no bush of the field9 was yet in the land10 and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up—for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground, 6 and a mist11 was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground—7 then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. 8 And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9 And out of the ground the LORD God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 10 A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers. 11 The name of the first is the Pishon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there. 13 The name of the second river is the Gihon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Cush. 14 And the name of the third river is the Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. 15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat12 of it you shall surely die.” 18 Then the LORD God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for13 him.” 19 Now out of the ground the LORD God had formed14 every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam15 there was not found a helper fit for him. 21 So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. 22 And the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man he made16 into a woman and brought her to the man. 23 Then the man said,   “This at last is bone of my bones    and flesh of my flesh;  she shall be called Woman,    because she was taken out of Man.”17 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. 25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.

And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah, 7 and Solomon the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asaph,2 8 and Asaph the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah, 9 and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, 10 and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amos,3 and Amos the father of Josiah, 11 and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon. 12 And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel,4 and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, 13 and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, and Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor, 14 and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud, 15 and Eliud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob, 16 and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ. 17 So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations. The Birth of Jesus Christ 18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ5 took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed6 to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. 19 And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. 20 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: 23   “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,    and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us). 24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, 25 but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.

With family: Genesis 1; Matthew 1 Genesis 1 (Listen) The Creation of the World 1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. 6 And God said, “Let there be an expanse1 in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” 7 And God made2 the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so. 8 And God called the expanse Heaven.3 And there was evening and there was morning, the second day. 9 And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry land Earth,4 and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. 11 And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants5 yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. 12 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day. 14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons,6 and for days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. 16 And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. 17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day. 20 And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds7 fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.” 21 So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day. 24 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds—livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so. 25 And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 26 Then God said, “Let us make man8 in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27   So God created man in his own image,    in the image of God he created him;    male and female he created them. 28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah, 7 and Solomon the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asaph,2 8 and Asaph the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah, 9 and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, 10 and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amos,3 and Amos the father of Josiah, 11 and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon. 12 And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel,4 and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, 13 and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, and Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor, 14 and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud, 15 and Eliud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob, 16 and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ. 17 So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations. The Birth of Jesus Christ 18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ5 took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed6 to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. 19 And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. 20 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: 23   “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,    and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us). 24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, 25 but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.

All these did Sheshbazzar bring up, when the exiles were brought up from Babylonia to Jerusalem. (ESV) Acts 1 (Listen) The Promise of the Holy Spirit 1 In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, 2 until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. 3 He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God. 4 And while staying1 with them he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me; 5 for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with2 the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” The Ascension 6 So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” 9 And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. 10 And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, 11 and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.” Matthias Chosen to Replace Judas 12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away. 13 And when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James. 14 All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.3 15 In those days Peter stood up among the brothers (the company of persons was in all about 120) and said, 16 “Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus. 17 For he was numbered among us and was allotted his share in this ministry.” 18 (Now this man acquired a field with the reward of his wickedness, and falling headlong4 he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out. 19 And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field was called in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.) 20 “For it is written in the Book of Psalms,   “‘May his camp become desolate,    and let there be no one to dwell in it'; and   “‘Let another take his office.' 21 So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 22 beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us—one of these men must become with us a witness to his resurrection.” 23 And they put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias. 24 And they prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which one of these two you have chosen 25 to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.” 26 And they cast lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

Old Testament: Genesis 1–2 Genesis 1–2 (Listen) The Creation of the World 1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. 6 And God said, “Let there be an expanse1 in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” 7 And God made2 the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so. 8 And God called the expanse Heaven.3 And there was evening and there was morning, the second day. 9 And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry land Earth,4 and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. 11 And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants5 yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. 12 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day. 14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons,6 and for days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. 16 And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. 17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day. 20 And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds7 fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.” 21 So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day. 24 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds—livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so. 25 And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 26 Then God said, “Let us make man8 in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27   So God created man in his own image,    in the image of God he created him;    male and female he created them. 28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. The Seventh Day, God Rests 2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. 3 So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation. The Creation of Man and Woman 4   These are the generations  of the heavens and the earth when they were created,  in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens. 5 When no bush of the field9 was yet in the land10 and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up—for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground, 6 and a mist11 was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground—7 then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. 8 And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9 And out of the ground the LORD God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. 10 A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it divided and became four rivers. 11 The name of the first is the Pishon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 And the gold of that land is good; bdellium and onyx stone are there. 13 The name of the second river is the Gihon. It is the one that flowed around the whole land of Cush. 14 And the name of the third river is the Tigris, which flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates. 15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat12 of it you shall surely die.” 18 Then the LORD God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for13 him.” 19 Now out of the ground the LORD God had formed14 every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam15 there was not found a helper fit for him. 21 So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. 22 And the rib that the LORD God had taken from the man he made16 into a woman and brought her to the man. 23 Then the man said,   “This at last is bone of my bones    and flesh of my flesh;  she shall be called Woman,    because she was taken out of Man.”17 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. 25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.

Judah, like a lion's whelp, you have grown up on prey, my son. He crouches like a lion recumbent, the king of beasts–who would dare rouse him? The scepter shall never depart from Judah, or the mace from between his legs, While tribute is brought to him, and he receives the people's homage.” Ps 72 - Justice shall flourish in his time, and fullness of peace for ever. O God, with your judgment endow the king, and with your justice, the king's son; He shall govern your people with justice and your afflicted ones with judgment. Mt 1:1-17 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Abraham became the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers. Judah became the father of Perez and Zerah, whose mother was Tamar. Perez became the father of Hezron, Hezron the father of Ram, Ram the father of Amminadab. Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, Nahshon the father of Salmon, Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab. Boaz became the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth. Obed became the father of Jesse, Jesse the father of David the king. David became the father of Solomon, whose mother had been the wife of Uriah. Solomon became the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah, Abijah the father of Asaph. Asaph became the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, Joram the father of Uzziah. Uzziah became the father of Jotham, Jotham the father of Ahaz, Ahaz the father of Hezekiah. Hezekiah became the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Amos, Amos the father of Josiah. Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and his brothers at the time of the Babylonian exile. After the Babylonian exile, Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel, Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, Zerubbabel the father of Abiud. Abiud became the father of Eliakim, Eliakim the father of Azor, Azor the father of Zadok. Zadok became the father of Achim, Achim the father of Eliud, Eliud the father of Eleazar.

This is a big and a fun one. I got my new buddy, Baked Salmon, from his hilarious YouTube channel on this episode and this one scratches a long standing itch with me. We are men of TCAP and as such, this will be a semi-introduction to the content, but also incredibly obscure. It was so fun, you'll love it, and don't forget to check out his stuff on his channel, it is too funny to miss! Below, or somewhere on here, you'll find a link to my absolute favorite video of his, the Kenneth Brinkman Analysis. Please enjoy.   ~Dave   https://youtu.be/YtHNprdFA7U

Ned Salmon (who is my 8 and three quarter year old son) made his debut for Derbyshire u9s in 2021. I was recently doing a sound check in preparation for a forthcoming episode and Ned kindly agreed to help. I asked him a few questions about his debut for Derbyshire and the answers were ace - so I thought I'd publish them! I particularly liked how Ned talked up how great LTA County Cup can be for developing friendships and how it is not all about winning. I hope you'll enjoy…MUSIC CREDITSEarth by MusicbyAden https://soundcloud.com/musicbyadenCreative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/_earthMusic promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/5yIbZVOv438

Time to end the year right, with one more River Rambler episode. For the final episode of the year I'm talking with Topher Brown. We go over how he started spin fishing at 5, being a "Child of Graphite," Quebec, steelhead vs Atlantic salmon, Scandinavian style fishing, canoes, bamboo, reels, Atlantic salmon populations, and we get a feline visitor.

Today's episode is part of an end of year special series. I am resharing some of my most actionable episodes to help you reduce pain on your period and pain flares in general, and to balance your hormones for better periods, less PMS and healthier cycles. I am sharing these episodes because this time of year is often when some of our endo management strategies can go out of the window (and understandably so!). We might have more sugar, less sleep, more alcohol and more blood sugar dysregulation, and as a result, these can all raise inflammation and give our bodies a hard time when it comes to clearing old and excess hormones. So come January or maybe sooner, we tend to have more PMS, worse periods and more pain. So these episodes are designed to provide you with some tips you can quickly implement if you're worried about your upcoming period, or you're feeling rough and need some tips to improve your symptoms. Now of course, it's natural that we want to indulge a bit over Christmas, and so these episodes are not about telling you to be a saint. Instead, they're about practices you can throw in that can just help lessen some of the impact. I am releasing a couple so you can choose strategies you think will help you most and so you have options, but you certainly don't have to try them all! And whilst I'm here, if you find that you want to learn more about how to eat for endo and for hormone balance, or you get to the end of the festive period and you really just want to improve your systems, I now have my Nutrition for Endo Masterclasses, which are available to buy all year round, unlike my courses. Lucky for you, they're still discounted because I haven't had time to change the prices, so you can still get each masterclass for £29.99 or you can buy the bundle for £50. You could also ask for them as a Christmas present! Finally, thank you for listening to this podcast this year, and for sticking with me even with my sporadic release dates as I navigate all of these new courses and offerings with recording my free content. I am wishing you a wonderful festive break (if you celebrate) and a very happy New Year. So, without further ado, let's get to today's episode. I really hope it helps you manage some of your symptoms over this festive period. Six Foods To Eat Before Your Period To Reduce Pain with Endometriosis Today I wanted to follow up on last week's episode Six Tips for Reducing Endometriosis Pain in The Week Before Your Period, with something a little more focused around nutrition. As most of you will know by now, I lean towards making healthy choices to support us with endo all month long, but that doesn't mean that focusing on foods to add in just before our period can't be useful. In fact, if you're struggling with where to get started with endometriosis management, I would start here and with my last episode. As always, these are just options - you don't have to do them all nor do you have to do them exactly as suggested, tweak and tailor to your lifestyle and preferences. If you're triggered by any of this, seek the support of a therapist and dietician/health coach/nutritionist before making further dietary changes. So, here are any foods to to eat before your period to reduce pain with endometriosis: Spinach and other leafy greens such as kale, boy chow, lettuce, rocket, chard and other greens. Add these in for anti-inflammatory nutrients, magnesium iron and fibre. Leafy greens can help to reduce period pain, fatigue, PMS symptoms like bloating and can aid reducing any excess oestrogen. You can throw some spinach in your morning smoothie and a big handful or two of lettuce to your lunch. Olive oil and other Vitamin E containing foods such as almonds, olives, avocados, greens and sunflower seeds. Vitamin E has been shown to reduce inflammation in numerous studies, as well as reduce pain with endometriosis and painful periods. Try drizzling two tablespoons of olive oil or sunflower seed butter over your lunch time salad, and snacking on almonds! Broccoli and other cruciferous veg like kale, cauliflower, asparagus, broccoli sprouts, sprouts and cabbage. These help to reduce oestrogen dominance by supporting the body to remove old oestrogen that needs clearing out and can cause symptoms like clots periods, heavy periods and period pain. You could try roasting wedges of red cabbage and mixing into a salad, grating red cabbage over a tex-mea meal or adding broccoli sprouts to salads and smoothies. Salmon and other sources of omega 3 fats such as mackerel, anchovies, sardines, herring, walnuts and chia seeds. Omega 3 fats help to lower inflammation and have been shown to reduce period pain and in studies on rats, reduce the size of endometriosis lesions. Add no more than two portions of fatty fish a week in addition to walnuts and chia seeds, and be cautious of large fatty fish as these can have a higher mercury content. If you don't eat fish, it's worth noting that most of us can't convert plant-based sources of omega. fats into the usable form, so you'll need to supplement with a vegan DHA and EPA supplement. One way to get in extra fish is to pair it with a Mediterranean salad and whole grains like quinoa for dinner, and try adding in some chia with a chia pot snack mixed with blueberries, walnuts and some almond milk. Tomatoes and other colourful vegetables such as berries, red cabbage, parsnips, peppers, squashed carrots. Studies have shown that people with endometriosis have higher levels of oxidation (which leads to higher levels of inflammation and therefore pain) and that when participants added in a high anti-oxidant diet in the form of extra fruits and vegetables, their oxidation levels lowered. When it comes to fruit and veggies, the more colour, the more anti-oxidants - so eat the rainbow! Try snacking on red and yellow peppers and cucumber dipped in hummus, and make a dinner that has a delicious roasted veg salad with it such as roasted carrots, beetroot and fennel - delicious with some puy lentils, fresh herbs and rocket! Turmeric and other herbs and spices like cinnamon and ginger. Many herbs and spices are anti-inflammatory, yet turmeric, ginger and cinnamon are particular stand-out stars, with curcumin (the active compound in turmeric) showing promise with endometriosis lesion suppression and ruction in mice, and ginger being an effective pain reliever in people with primary dysmenorrhea. How about making up a daily turmeric latte and a carrot and ginger soup to enjoy for the week? Bonus food! Raw cacao and sugar free dark chocolate. Rich in magnesium, iron and anti-oxidants, raw cacao can help lower inflammation and support energy production, whilst helping us with those sugar cravings! Just be mindful of how much you have as cacao does have a little caffeine. My superfood hot chocolate recipe is a lovely way to get this delicious food into your diet before your period.

Salmon, tuna, herring, and other fish aren't just tasty. They're packed with omega-3 fatty acids -- healthy fats that may help improve everything from Alzheimer's to heart disease to arthritis. And a recent study found that you might be able to add migraines to the list as well.Migraines affect millions of Americans. They generate sharp pain, nausea, and other nasty symptoms. A migraine can last for hours, and it can make it impossible to work or do much of anything else. And many people have chronic migraines, with many attacks per month.Some small studies had provided evidence that omega-3 from fatty fish could ease some of the migraine symptoms. Researchers extended that work to a larger sample -- 182 migraine sufferers.They were divided into three groups. The control group ate a diet that roughly matched the amount of omega-3 found in a typical American diet. A second group got a lot of omega-3 from fatty fish, while a third got the fish plus high levels of similar compounds from other sources.Participants recorded their migraine symptoms. The groups with higher levels of fatty acids from fish reported that migraines were less frequent, didn't last as long, and didn't impair their ability to function as much. And scientists found less of a pain-related chemical in their blood.The researchers say the omega-3 compounds may reduce inflammation in a key nerve bundle in the brain -- bringing at least a little relief from the agony of migraines.

Pastor John Ryan Cantu brings this week's message, “From Mess to Messiah." Key Verses: Matthew 1:1-6 NLT "This is a record of the ancestors of Jesus the Messiah, a descendant of David and of Abraham: Abraham was the father of Isaac. Isaac was the father of Jacob. Jacob was the father of Judah and his brothers. Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah (whose mother was Tamar). Perez was the father of Hezron. Hezron was the father of Ram. Ram was the father of Amminadab. Amminadab was the father of Nahshon. Nahshon was the father of Salmon. Salmon was the father of Boaz (whose mother was Rahab). Boaz was the father of Obed (whose mother was Ruth). Obed was the father of Jesse. Jesse was the father of King David. David was the father of Solomon (whose mother was Bathsheba, the widow of Uriah)." Genesis 38:6-11 ESV "And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar. But Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD, and the LORD put him to death. Then Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother's wife and perform the duty of a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother.” But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his. So whenever he went in to his brother's wife he would waste the semen on the ground, so as not to give offspring to his brother. And what he did was wicked in the sight of the LORD, and he put him to death also. Then Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, “Remain a widow in your father's house, till Shelah my son grows up”—for he feared that he would die, like his brothers. So Tamar went and remained in her father's house." Romans 5:16-19 ESV "And the free gift is not like the result of that one man's sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification. For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ. Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous." Romans 8:1 ESV There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:15 ESV For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

This week, Pilar talks with special guests Leslie Salmon Jones and Jeff W. Jones, co-founders of Afro Flow Yoga. Leslie and Jeff created Afro Flow Yoga in 2008, fusing a new blend of expressive movement and rhythmic music from their own explorations of healing and their African-American and Caribbean heritage, in West Africa, Haiti and Jamaica. Leslie and Jeff describe Afro Flow Yoga as an embodied practice, integrating dance movements of the African Diaspora with meditative yoga and live healing music, promoting individual and collective healing in a compassionate, inclusive, non-judgmental and safe environment. In this conversation, Pilar talks with Leslie and Jeff about what inspired them to create Afro Flow Yoga, the special role this practice has in helping us heal our fractured selves and culture at this time, and where they see it going from here. If you haven't already checked out one of their virtual classes, we hope you will so you can experience the whole-person "aha" of Afro Flow Yoga for yourself.

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates interview series.  I'm Paul Vogelzang and we have an excellent show today, very timely and important, with our guest today,   Walter Stahr.  Walter Stahr will be presenting at Smithsonian Associates Salmon P. Chase: Lincoln's Vital Rival,  via Zoom on December 13, and you'll find ticket details on our website, but we have Walter Stahr today Join me and New York Times bestselling biographer Walter Stahr for a timely reassessment of Salmon P. Chase, Abraham Lincoln's indispensable secretary of the treasury and a leading proponent for Black rights before and during his years in the cabinet and as chief justice of the United States. Salmon P Chase may not be a household name, but he should be and is best remembered as a rival of Lincoln's for the Republican nomination in 1860—but there would not have been a national Republican Party, and Lincoln could not have won the presidency, were it not for the vital groundwork Chase laid over the previous two decades.  Starting in the early 1840s, long before Lincoln was speaking out against slavery, Chase was forming and leading antislavery parties. He represented fugitive slaves so often in his law practice that he was known as the “attorney general for runaway Negroes,” and he furthered his reputation as an outspoken federal senator and progressive governor of Ohio. Listen as Zion Church's role, and  5000+ formerly enslaved persons felt on May 12, 1865,  after the Union Army finally arrived in town. That, of course, is our guest today, author and NYT best-selling author Walther Stahr, author of the new book, Salmon P. Chase: Lincoln's Vital Rival.   Salmon P Chase was tapped by Lincoln to become secretary of the treasury. Our guest today, NYT best-selling author Walther Stahr will tell us about how Salmon P Chase would prove essential to the Civil War effort, raising the billions of dollars that allowed the Union to win the war, while also pressing the president to emancipate the country's slaves and recognize Black rights. Walther Stahr tells us that when Lincoln had the chance to appoint a chief justice in 1864, he chose his faithful rival because he was sure Chase would make the right decisions on the difficult racial, political, and economic issues the Supreme Court would confront during Reconstruction. Drawing on previously overlooked sources, Stahr sheds new light on a complex and fascinating political figure as well as on the pivotal events of the Civil War and its aftermath.   Please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show Smithsonian Associate Walter Stahr. My thanks to Walter Stahr for his generous time and preparation today.  Walter Stahr will be presenting at Smithsonian Associates via Zoom on December 13, and you'll find ticket details on our web site.  My thanks to you, my wonderful Not Old Better Show audience…please be safe, get your flu shots and your booster shot for COVID, recommend others do the same and Let's Talk About Better.  The Not Old Better Show Smithsonian Associates interview series Thanks, everybody.   Please click HERE on Smithsonian Associates for more information:  https://smithsonianassociates.org/ticketing/tickets/salmon-p-chase-lincolns-vital-rival
