Long ago, people ate very differently than we do today. Most ancient Hebrew families ate only two meals a day. Breakfast was usually flat bread, a piece of cheese, and some dried fruit or olives. There was usually no noon meal, but families could snack on pieces of fruit. Dinner usually consisted of stew, called pottage, made from vegetables or dried lentils. Family members used pieces of bread to scoop up the stew since they didn’t have silverware like we do today. Most Hebrew families had animals like goats and sheep, so they were able to have cheese, yogurt and fresh milk. Many people in the Middle East still eat a similar diet that was eaten thousands of years ago. Olive oil is still commonly used. Honey was and still is used as a sweetener. What are your favorite foods?
Modern people don’t eat as healthy as the ancient Hebrews, but there are things you can do to be healthier.
1. Spend more time doing physical activities rather than watching television. Maybe go for a nice walk as a family.
2. Eat more fruits and vegetables as snacks.
3. Drink more water instead of sugary beverages.
4. Limit your intake of sugary and salty snacks.
..."And Elohim said, Behold I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of the tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food."
