Health Message (May 09, 2026)

Good Sabbath Church,

The health message is a testament to the belief in the indivisible unity of body, mind, and spirit, Ellen White had a commitment to educating the world about the importance of health for a fulfilling life. Her teachings continue to inspire and guide many in their pursuit of health and well being. Ellen White promoted a meatless diet because she believed it supported:

Reason Focus

• Health Preventing disease, improving vitality.

• Spirituality Clear thinking, self-control, moral strength.

• Compassion Reducing cruelty, honoring creation.

• Theology Returning to the Edenic ideal.

• Reform Building a healthier, more temperate society.

Ellen Whites inspired teachings blended observation, theology, and moral philosophy, and they continue to shape Adventist health practices today.

“Many have inquired of me, “What course shall I take to best preserve my health?” My answer is, cease to transgress the laws of your being; cease to gratify a depraved appetite; eat simple food; dress healthfully, which will require modest simplicity; work healthfully; and you will not be sick.” (Counsels on Health)

“So closely is health related to our happiness, that we cannot have the latter without the former. A practical knowledge of the science of human life is necessary in order to glorify God in our bodies. It is therefore of the highest importance that among the studies selected for childhood, physiology should occupy the first place.

How few know anything about the structure and functions of their own bodies and of nature’s laws! Many are drifting about without knowledge, like a ship at sea without compass or anchor; and what is more, they are not interested to learn how to keep their bodies in a healthy condition and prevent disease.”

"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth" (3 John 2)

May God Bless your Journey to good Health,

Your sister in Christ, Sandra Torres
