Daniel asked that he not be forced to eat the diet prescribed for the king’s trainees. He preferred vegetables and water. When the king’s official hesitated to go along with this idea, Daniel proposed a test. Just let them try the vegetable and water diet for ten days, and then make an assessment. The official agreed to this, and after only ten days, there was a noticeable improvement in the health of Daniel and his friends. So they were allowed to eat vegetables and drink water as their regular diet. (Daniel 1:1-16).

Mothers should be quick to use this Scripture to encourage their children to eat their vegetables! The Bible says that they are good for you!

We all should take this part of the Bible into serious consideration. It could be said that changing to a healthier diet can naturally bring about noticeable positive changes in as little as ten days. Or we might deduce that perhaps God supernaturally intervenes in the lives of those who try to take care of their bodies and helps them to have better health.

Either way, you will be better off if you try to eat a healthy diet. So be sure to eat your veggies!
