The Rambam teaches us that true strength comes from self-control, especially at the dinner table. When we make healthy food choices and resist unhealthy temptations, we earn the prestigious title of "Gibor" (strong person).
• Rambam's laws in Mishneh Torah identify certain unhealthy foods to avoid
• A wise person restrains themselves and doesn't eat simply to satisfy cravings
• Choosing healthy foods over unhealthy options earns you the title "Gibor"
• Self-control is considered a "davartella" (wondrous act) in Jewish tradition
• Reb Yerucham honored a man who lost weight as showing extraordinary discipline
• Making good food choices forms the foundation of Jewish self-discipline
Think twice before ordering that triple-fried schnitzel and choose to live with self-control. Choose to be called a gibor by simply eating healthy.
