Adventistische Schriften über: "Principles for a Healthy Lifestyle"
Answer
A healthy lifestyle is based on the use of natural remedies such as pure air, sunlight, temperance, rest, exercise, and proper nutrition. Following these principles means honoring the natural laws as divine laws, to preserve body and mind for service to God. True health is promoted by mastering desires, using water, and having a firm trust in the divine power.
The Eight Natural Remedies
Pure air, sunlight, temperance, 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 how to apply them.
Obedience to the Natural Laws
People should be taught that violating the natural laws is a violation of God’s laws. They should be taught the truth both physically and spiritually, for “the fear of the Lord leads to life.”
Simplicity Instead of Expensive Medications
God’s remedies are the simple means of nature, which do not burden or weaken the system with their strong properties. Pure air and water, cleanliness, proper nutrition, purity of life, and a firm trust in God are remedies whose lack causes thousands to die.
Responsibility for One’s Own Body
I must become familiar with myself; I must always be a learner, how I can care for this building, the body that God has given me, so that I keep it in the best possible health condition. ... I must possess the wisdom to be a faithful guardian of my body.
The Importance of Outdoor Exercise
Living in fresh air is good for body and mind. It is God’s medicine for restoring health. Pure air, good water, sunshine, the beautiful surroundings of nature – these are His means to naturally heal the sick.
Consequences of Immoderation and Inactivity
Health can be earned through proper lifestyle habits... But this capital, which is more precious than any bank deposit, can be sacrificed by immoderation in eating and drinking or by allowing the organs to rust through inactivity.
