Adventistische Schriften über: "Eight Natural Laws of Health"
Answer
The eight natural laws of health according to Ellen G. White are pure air, sunlight, moderation, rest, exercise, proper nutrition, the use of water, and trust in the divine power. These simple means are called the \"true remedies\", which do not burden or weaken the system, unlike many medicines. It is essential not only to know these principles but also to apply them practically, in order to both prevent disease and promote healing. A healthy life outdoors and a disciplined lifestyle support the physical, mental, and spiritual strength of a person.
The eight true remedies
Pure air, sunlight, moderation, rest, exercise, proper nutrition, the use of water, trust in the divine power – these are the true remedies. Every person should have knowledge of nature's remedies and know how to apply them. It is important both to understand the principles that play a role in the treatment of the sick and to have practical training that enables one to apply this knowledge correctly.
God's simple natural remedies
There are many ways to practice the art of healing, but there is only one way that Heaven approves. God's remedies are the simple natural means that do not burden or weaken the organism through their powerful properties. Pure air and water, cleanliness, proper nutrition, purity of life, and a firm trust in God are remedies, the lack of which causes thousands to die; nevertheless, these remedies fall out of fashion because their skillful application requires work that people do not appreciate.
The importance of air and water
Thousands have died from lack of pure water and pure air that could have been saved. And thousands of patients who become a burden to themselves and others believe that their lives depend on taking doctors' medicines. They constantly guard themselves against the air and avoid the use of water. Yet they need exactly these blessings to become healthy. If they were enlightened, set aside the medicines, and became accustomed to outdoor exercise and fresh air in their homes, they would be comparatively healthy and happy.
Movement and moderation instead of medication
Doctors often advise patients to travel to foreign countries, seek springs, or go overseas to regain their health; yet they would regain health in nine out of ten cases and save time and money if they ate moderately and participated in healthy exercise with a cheerful spirit. Exercise and a free and abundant use of air and sunlight – blessings that Heaven has freely given to all – would give the weakened patient life and strength.
