Bible rates health right near the top of the list in importance. Man's mind, spiritual nature, and body are all interrelated and interdependent. What affects one affects the other. If our bodies are misused, our minds and spiritual natures cannot become what God ordained they should.
But yet Christian eat unclean food, drink whatever they want and do drugs when it saids "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are." 1 Corinthians 3:16, 17
It also saids "There shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth (or unclean)." Revelation 21:27. Thats in the future to come.
Why do Christian think its ok to eat unclean food, drink alcholo, and do drugs when its not healthy and it said not to in the bible.

In the Question i meant why don't Christians live healthier lives when the bible lays out what we can consume on a daily basis?

What do you consider "unclean" food? There is example of people drinking alchol in the Bibe, even for health sake!
I do agree that Christians should be very careful what they choose to eat and how they eat. And should also exercise and live an overall healthy lifestyle. This is a part of being a good steward of the bodies that God has given us.

I am a Christian and a healthier PHYSICAL life is much different from a healthy SPIRITUAL life, and my Spiritual wellbeing far overtakes my physical one in priority. Alcohol is fine to drink (responsibly) and it is medicinal. As far as I'm aware, I don't know any Christians who take drugs except for medicinal purposes, and unclean food? I'm not sure what you mean by this (Islamic reference maybe, and you have your facts crossed over)? While you are right that both mind and body must be healthy, you are also wrong in that PHYSICAL health is near the top of importance in the Christian society.
I don't remember reading the Bible and it saying "Thou shalt not smoke hash" but if you say so, then you believe that... Maybe it's time you went on your own spiritual journey instead of invading others.

this is a good question. I bear in concepts Jesus asserting he got here to no longer abolish the regulation yet all his "follower" attempt to make fancy excuses as to how he freed them from sin so as that they do no longer obey the regulation. he's an enticing actuality. Jesus become a Jew so he did no longer consume crimson meat and Christians say they must be Christ like so why do they consume crimson meat?

I'm a Christian and never claim to be perfect. The Bible also says "all will sin and fall short of the glory of God". The difference is we tend to be more aware of the sin in our lives and try to be accountable to God for that sin.

Because the 11th commandment is:
Do as you like and ask for forgiveness on sunday.
That one got editted out, but still every christian i know seems to follow it WITHOUT FAIL.
