What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Best time of day for physical activity"
Answer
Based on the writings, it is advisable to use the invigorating air of a winter morning to fill the lungs deeply and increase vitality. Physical exertion should, whenever possible, not be extended into the late evening, as this overloads the nervous system and weakens the constitution. Immediately after meals, vigorous sport is discouraged, while a short, leisurely walk optimally supports digestion.
Benefits of exercise in the morning
»It is impossible to go out into the invigorating air of a winter morning without inflating the lungs... There will be an increased vitality that is so necessary for health.«
Dangers of evening overexertion
»Generally, the day's work should not be extended into the evening. If all hours of the day are well used, work that extends into the evening is excessive, and the overloaded system will suffer under the burden imposed upon it.«
Exercise in relation to meals
»Throwing oneself immediately after eating into deep study or vigorous activity hinders the digestive process... But a short walk after a meal, with the head held upright and the shoulders relaxed, with moderate movement, is a great advantage.«
Daily exercise in the fresh air
»Men or women, young or old, who desire health and want to enjoy life, should remember that they cannot have these blessings without a good circulation. Whatever their occupation or inclinations may be, they should regard it as a religious duty to get as much exercise in the fresh air as possible.«

Why I built EGW Vision
Hello, I am Stephan Krol. I started this Ellen White website to make the writings of Ellen G. White and the Adventist pioneers easier to access for everyone.
EGW Vision helps you find topics, statements, and quotes faster, especially when many original sources are not yet fully available in your language. The tool searches semantically, groups relevant content by topic, and presents matching results as clearly as possible in your language.
My hope is that this tool supports personal Bible study, strengthens trust in the original sources, and helps more people discover the message of these writings with clarity, depth, and joy.
