Your body is by God. God preprogrammed you to look great, have outrageous health, and experience incredible happiness. In the human body, God created a perfect design, equipped with all the organs, tissues, and cells necessary for health, production, and reproduction. The problem, asserts Dr. Ben Lerner, is when we as humans interfere with God's design for our bodies. Junk food, high-stress living, and neglecting exercise are just a few of the things we do to hinder our bodies' performance.

In Body by God, Dr. Lerner offers a comprehensive plan for getting in touch with our bodies in four areas: nutrition, exercise, stress management, and time management. His "5-in-5" plan is designed to instill the good habits that will lead to optimum health benefits. Readers will learn how to get in shape with 10-minute workouts, reprogram the way they react to stress, and more. "Owner's Manual Tips" give specific ways to apply the material to real life. Our bodies are "fearfully and wonderfully made." With the help of Body by God, readers will learn how to achieve the highest level of performance from God's handiwork.

Chapter One

THE BODY BY GOD (BBG)

After nearly twenty years in the healthy, happy lifestyle world, taking care of tens of thousands of patients of all ages, and working with Olympic and professional athletes, I have discovered one elemental truth: There is a creator of the human body and it is not me. This understanding has helped me not to create but to lead more people toward a better appearance, healthier body, and more peaceful outlook on life than any other one thing I know.

The true, underlying principle of Body by God is the knowledge that if we took everything we know about how God designed and created the body, multiplied that knowledge by a trillion, and then added infinity, we still would not have even a glimpse of understanding what He has done. No person can make another. The body is not by man; the body is by God-which is really quite fortunate, if you think about it. The things man makes tend to wear out pretty quickly. If body parts were like answering machines, lightbulbs, and auto parts, you'd have to replace them several times a year. If your body were like a computer, it would become obsolete within months and needed to be upgraded, or possibly even discarded for a new one. Luckily for us, the Adam and Eve prototypes are still fully operational today, have never lost their value, and will never become obsolete.

God is not only the Producer; He is also the Executive Director. His power, which created all things, created you. His power is constantly on the job controlling, sustaining, healing, creating, and re-creating every part and system of your Body by God (BBG).

Your BBG is a miraculous gift that God has handed over to you for the relatively brief duration of your lifetime. Showing respect for your gift means showing respect and love for God. Unfortunately, for many this respect and love have been discarded and replaced by stress, inactivity, inadequate nutrition, and a tremendous amount of wasted time.

This irreverence for our bodies is made most evident by just looking at what people are willing to put in their mouths.

It has become the shocking nutritional truth that the most popular food in the world today is not known for its quality, its nutrient content, its geographical origin, or even its taste. Instead, it is known for its speed. It is literally called "fast food."

In fact, with all fast-food restaurants having drive-thru windows these days, service is faster than ever. We do not even have to get out of our vehicles anymore to eat. Now families can eat in vans, just as God intended ...?

Fueling your BBG with what is quickest, rather than what is best, damages your gift, keeps you from performing at your peak potential, and stops you from having the kind of reliable energy you need to best serve your Creator.

Your body is not your own! Your body is not only by God, it is for God, and it is God's. Everyone on earth was placed here with a mission from God. God chooses specific people to perform specific tasks for Him. For that task or mission to be fulfilled so that God's will may be done, you must stay inspired to take care of your BBG in a way that allows it to thrive and live up to its potential.

If you were high on crack cocaine, drunk from alcohol, or suffering with serious pain or illness, could you be successful in your occupation, relate well with others, or take good care of yourself? Obviously not! You would not be able to think clearly, you would be off mentally, and you would be physically tired.

This is an exaggerated version of what happens to you when you put the wrong food in your BBG, when you treat it improperly by never moving off your couch or away from your desk, and when you experience too much stress.

The toxins, chemicals, and unhealthy materials that exist in fast foods and other poor-quality foods, as well as the effects of stress and lack of movement, harmfully affect the mind and body. Rather than creating the more obvious and massive dysfunction brought about by cocaine use, alcohol use, or pain and illness, dietary poisons, anxiety, and inactivity more subtly irritate your system, affect your moods, cloud your mind, and rob your body of strength and health. As a result, your effectiveness, your relationship with others and God, and your length of time on this planet are negatively affected.

Sickness, disease, the pains of poor health, defective relationships, chronic failure, and persistent unhappiness are just the symptoms and side effects of not caring for your life the way God intended.

My goal for working with all of my patients and in writing this book is to move people toward taking care of themselves not just Dr. Ben's way or any other doctor's or author's way-but God's way.

I am looking to help you remember that your body is by God, for God, and is God's. Your Body by God is a gift from God. What you do with your BBG is your gift to Him.
