A growing number of Christians are turning to the Bible for guidance on what they eat, fueling interest in a "biblical diet" trend that has gained traction among health and wellness influencers.
The eating pattern generally emphasizes foods that are minimally processed and close to their natural form, while encouraging practices such as fasting, hydration and home-cooked meals. Supporters say the approach has helped them lose weight and improve their overall health, although nutrition experts caution that personal experiences do not establish that a faith-based diet can prevent or reverse disease.
