Engage Your Church
Answer God's call to help the sick
MHFL can support the Bible's command that we comfort and support those who are sick or suffering.
Jesus gave Churches the Parable of the Good Samaritan to convey people need to be sensitive to those who are hurting.
If people in your church are dealing directly with health issues or if they have relatives or friends who are, you'll want to inform them of the tremendous health benefits of MHFL. Share the website and MHFL Research Paper with them. Then encourage them to join the League with you, so they can get help migrating to this healthy dietary regimen.
With so many people being diagnosed with illnesses and others hoping to avoid the pain and strain of illnesses, we can answer God's call to help by getting people to join the MHFL League.
Reach Into Your Community
MHFL can support you and your church with community outreach. The Christian magazine Outreach described cooking and nutrition classes as great ways to reach into and support communities with God's love.
Reach Young families
Since MHFL can help address birth defects, you'll want to share this news with all the pregnant moms in your community.

Make sure church members know of this great asset, so they can inform you of relatives and friends who are expecting and want to prevent birth defects through MHFL.
Then reach out to these new moms to get them on the right track as a service of your Church and a way to express God's love.
Fellowship Around Health & Weight Loss
Another reason you may want to engage your church -- the average Christian is more overweight than the general population. Fellowship dinners are seldom known for serving healthy foods. Sunday School often includes donuts. Ouch. Double Ouch.
But Prevention magazine reported in 2006 that the best place to drop pounds may be your own house of worship.
Researchers conducted healthy eating and exercise programs in 16 Baltimore churches. After a year of participating, the most successful among 500 women lost an average of 20 lbs. Weight loss programs based on faith are so successful because there's a built-in community component that people can feel comfortable with.
A Plug For God's Awesome Creation
Plus, with a knowledge of all the functional benefits of MHFL eating, people can be encouraged by the Church to better appreciate God's awesome creation.
Don't forget, the Mediterranean dietary regimen has been referred to as a "Devine Mix." And that one expert noted, "God knows what sorts of interactions take place within the foods, and we need further research to pinpoint them exactly."
The Church can use MHFL to give God praise for his incredible wisdom, design and provision.
