The Seventh-day Adventist Church places a strong emphasis on health and well-being, recognizing the importance of caring for our bodies as a divine responsibility. We believe that a balanced and temperate lifestyle, combined with natural remedies, leads to vibrant health and a clear mind.
Our health principles include:
Balanced Diet: We advocate for a well-balanced vegetarian diet that includes legumes, whole grains, nuts, fruits, and vegetables, along with a source of vitamin B12.
Exercise: Regular physical activity is essential for maintaining good health and preventing disease.
Avoidance of Harmful Substances: We encourage the avoidance of tobacco, alcohol, and mind-altering substances to promote clear thinking and wise choices.
Natural Remedies: Pure water, fresh air, and sunlight, when used appropriately, contribute to clean and healthy lives.
Whole-Person Care: We support evidence-based medical care and believe in a whole-person approach to health, addressing physical, mental, and spiritual needs.
Our commitment to health is a reflection of our desire to live as positive examples of God's love and care. By embracing these principles, we strive to live life in its abundance and express our gratitude to our Creator through joyful living
