Nutrition
“Gen 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.”
Proper Nutrition
Most people are concerned about their health, some are more interested in health than others, but generally all people want to know how to be more healthy. Very close to the beginning of the Bible are the instruction for the diet of a healthy human being. Herbs bearing seeds, and trees that have fruit giving seeds, these are to be the food of those healthy individuals, who will be suffering less of the diseases most common to man, especially as the Earth now groans with its resources depleted more than ever before in history.

“The transformation of food into good blood is a wonderful process, and all human beings should be intelligent upon this subject. In order that the digestive fluids may be called into action, and the saliva becomes mixed with the food, the teeth must do their work carefully and thoroughly. Each organ of the body gathers its nutrition to keep its different parts in action. The brain must be supplied with its share, the bone with its portion. The great Master Builder is at work every moment, supplying every muscle and tissue, from the brain to the end of the fingers and toes, with life and strength.” {3MR 307.4}
“Day by day the human structure performs its work under the great Master Architect, who superintends every function of the body, seeking to make it into a glorious temple for Himself.”--Letter 17, 1895. {3MR 308.1}
Health experts say that the more closely our diet and appetites ally themselves to these precepts, the more we will enjoy health and physical vitality. On the other hand, if we are careless regarding the food stuffs we partake of, we may suffer dire consequences, illness and even death in some instances. I had a classmate, some years ago and he is no longer living due to the very thing we are talking about. I had an opportunity the talk with him prior to his demise, and although he was ill and receiving treatment for a very aggressive type of brain cancer, he wanted to live and return to health, but it was very late in his case. He told me that he was divorced and did not cook, nor did he eat any vegetables or fruit, nuts or grains. He stated that he ate hamburgers and french fries, fried chicken and popcorn for snacks, and this would change ever so slightly from day to day. He worked in the inner city and would visit small fast food restaurants for his meals. My hope is that some of you will see, that we can poison ourselves if we do not eat as God has designed us, and instructed us to eat. We are built in His Image, after His likeness. This is very simple, but we can complicate everything by doing what we want.
Remember that Lev. 3:17 says “It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood.”
Our wants usually get us in trouble, sick, diseased, or dead. The writer of many of these quotes says that cheese was never fit for human consumption as it is generally 98% FAT, and we were instructed to eat no FAT in Gods Word, The Bible also states this; in the book of 3John 2, "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." Gods desire is that we be in health and prosper, because He loves us and wants the best for us, besides, what good is it if we prosper and be in ill health or dead?
“The idea that women, because of their special condition, may let the appetite run riot is a mistake based on custom, but not on sound sense. The appetite of women in this condition may be variable, fitful, and difficult to gratify; and custom allows her to have anything she may fancy, without consulting reason as to whether such food can supply nutrition for her body and for the growth of her child. The food should be nutritious, but should not be of an exciting quality. . . . If ever there is need of simplicity of diet and special care as to the quality of food eaten, it is in this important period.” {AH 257.2}
“ Women who possess principle, and who are well instructed, will not depart from simplicity of diet at this time of all others. They will consider that another life is dependent upon them and will be careful in all their habits and especially in diet. They should not eat that which is innutritious and exciting, simply because it tastes good. There are too many counselors ready to persuade them to do things which reason would tell them they ought not to do. Diseased children are born because of the gratification of appetite by the parents”. . . . {AH 257.3}
“If so much food is taken into the stomach that the digestive organs are compelled to overwork in order to dispose of it and to free the system from irritating substances, the mother does injustice to herself and lays the foundation of disease in her offspring. If she chooses to eat as she pleases and what she may fancy, irrespective of consequences, she will bear the penalty, but not alone. Her innocent child must suffer because of her indiscretion.” {AH 258.1}
“Self-control and Temperance Are Necessary.--The mother's physical needs should in no case be neglected. Two lives are depending upon her, and her wishes should be tenderly regarded, her needs generously supplied. But at this time above all others she should avoid, in diet and in every other line, whatever would lessen physical or mental strength. By the command of God Himself she is placed under the most solemn obligation to exercise self-control.” {AH 258.2}
“The basis of a right character in the future man is made firm by habits of strict temperance in the mother prior to the birth of her child. . . . This lesson should not be regarded with indifference.” {AH 258.3}
“Is it now time that all should aim to dispense with flesh foods? How can those who are seeking to become pure, refined, and holy, that they may have the companionship of heavenly angels, continue to use as food anything that has so harmful an effect on soul and body? How can they take the life of God's creatures that they may consume the flesh as a luxury? Let them, rather, return to the wholesome and delicious food given to man in the beginning.” {CG 383.1}
“The Course of Those Awaiting Christ's Coming.-- Among those who are waiting for the coming of the Lord, meat eating will eventually be done away; flesh will cease to form a part of their diet. We should ever keep this end in view and endeavor to work steadily toward it. I cannot think that in the practice of flesh eating we are in harmony with the light which God has been pleased to give us.” {CG 383.2}
“Back to God's Design.--Again and again I have been shown that God is bringing His people back to His original design, that is, not to subsist on the flesh of dead animals. He would have us teach people a better way. . . . If meat is discarded, if the taste is not educated in that direction, if a liking for fruits and grains is encouraged, it will soon be as God in the beginning designed it should be. No meat will be used by His people.”

Always Temperate
Always Temperate
TEMPERANCE; Abstemiousness, the term abstinence are all words relating to the same thing within the walk of life. Abstemiousness and temperance simply mean doing things in moderation, whatever it may be. Abstinence means leaving those things alone which are harmful or hurtful to our bodies, or someone else. Back to temperance, with regards to eating, drinking or having the sexual relation within the marriage relationship, all things should be done in moderation. We must remember that Christ was the epitomy of temperate and as our example, we are to emulate Him in all that we do and say.
1Corinthians 9:25 says, "And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things."
On the contrary, we can also live intemperate lives and cause adverse affects upon our bodies and minds from such unhealthful practices as overeating, indulgences of to much exercise, or other activities, which can even endanger our very lives. We heard not long ago of a woman who was competing in a radio station promotional campaign and drank excessive amounts of water without using the restroom and died as a result of water intoxication or just to much fluid in her body. Too much of a good thing can be harmful to our bodies.
Most of us have experienced the pain from lactic acid build up in a certain muscle group, after excessive exercise repetitions, this can be very painful and the adverse effects can last several days. This may cause a person to relinquish an exercise program altogether. The message here is that we must do all things in moderation so that we will be considered fit vessels for the one who is our Maker and Redeemer, Christ Jesus, who states he will live in us.
“Physical health is maintained by that which we eat; if our appetites are not under the control of a sanctified mind, if we are not temperate in all our eating and drinking, we shall not be in a state of mental and physical soundness to study the word with a purpose to learn what saith the Scripture --what shall I do to inherit eternal life? Any unhealthful habit will produce an unhealthful condition in the system, and the delicate, living machinery of the stomach will be injured, and will not be able to do its work properly. The diet has much to do with the disposition to enter into temptation and commit sin.” {CD 52.2}
“Educate, Educate, Educate.--We must educate, educate, educate, pleasantly and intelligently. We must preach the truth, pray the truth, and live the truth, bringing it, with its gracious, health-giving influences, within the reach of those who know it not. As the sick are brought into touch with the Life-giver, their faculties of mind and body will be renewed. But in order for this to be, they must practice self-denial, and be temperate in all things. Thus only can they be saved from physical and spiritual death, and restored to health.” {Ev 528.1}
“You must hold fast to those whom you are trying to help, else victory will never be yours. They will be continually tempted to evil. Again and again they will be almost overcome by the craving for strong drink; again and again they may fall; but do not, because of this, cease your efforts.” {MH 173.2}
“ They have decided to make an effort to live for Christ; but their will power is weakened, and they must be carefully guarded by those who watch for souls as they that must give an account. They have lost their manhood, and this they must win back. Many have to battle against strong hereditary tendencies to evil. Unnatural cravings, sensual impulses, were their inheritance from birth. These must be carefully guarded against. Within and without, good and evil are striving for the mastery. Those who have never passed through such experiences cannot know the almost overmastering power of appetite or the fierceness of the conflict between habits of self-indulgence and the determination to be temperate in all things. Over and over again the battle must be fought.” {MH 173.3}
. May we all seek to do all things in moderation according to Gods will.

Lots of Water
Num 20:2 And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
Exo 17:3 And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst? The Bible shows the necessity and importance of water.
Exo 30:20 When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire unto the LORD: Washing the body outside and inside by consumption is vital.
Exo 30:21 So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.
1Ki 18:4 For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)
Joh 7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
Joh 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
Rev 21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Rev 22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
Rev 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Plenty of fresh water is needed by the body to flush all the impurities and poisons our organ systems create. Our body is 75% to 85% water, brain and all so we need copious amounts of water regularly flowing and being filtered, filtering through our systems. We need to drink half of our body weight in ounces of water per day, and it should be drunk 45 minutes to an hour before a meal, or 45 minutes to an hour after a meal, but not with the meal. Your digestive enzymes and stomach acids need to be at full strength to assist in proper digestion. This means that if you weigh 160 LBS, you should be drinking 80 ounces of water daily for optimal health. When a person is admitted to the hospital, one of the first things done is that IV solutions are given to more adequately hydrate the body.
“There is no reason in science or philosophy why an occasional bath, taken with studious care, should do you anything but real good. Especially is this the case where there is but little exercise to keep the muscles in action and to aid the circulation of the blood through the system. Bathing frees the skin from the accumulation of impurities which are constantly collecting, and keeps the skin moist and supple, thereby increasing and equalizing the circulation. {3T 69.4}
Persons in health should on no account neglect bathing. They should by all means bathe as often as twice a week. Those who are not in health have impurities of the blood, and the skin is not in a healthy condition. The multitude of pores, or little mouths, through which the body breathes become clogged and filled with waste matter. The skin needs to be carefully and thoroughly cleansed, that the pores may do their work in freeing the body from impurities; therefore feeble persons who are diseased surely need the advantages and blessings of bathing as often as twice a week, and frequently even more than this is positively necessary. Whether a person is sick or well, respiration is more free and easy if bathing is practiced. By it the muscles become more flexible, the mind and body are alike invigorated, the intellect is made brighter, and every faculty becomes livelier. The bath is a soother of the nerves. It promotes general perspiration, quickens the circulation, overcomes obstructions in the system, and acts beneficially on the kidneys and urinary organs. Bathing helps the bowels, stomach, and liver, giving energy and new life to each. It also
71
promotes digestion, and instead of the system's being weakened it is strengthened. Instead of increasing the liability to cold, a bath, properly taken, fortifies against cold because the circulation is improved and the uterine organs, which are more or less congested, are relieved; for the blood is brought to the surface, and a more easy and regular flow of the blood through all the blood vessels is obtained.” {3T 70.1} Men should bath more as bathing would assist in relieving some of the conjestion in the prostate, and many men are suffering from prostate conditions.
Water is very necessary to sustain life and in the Bible, Christ stated, while speaking to the woman at the well, "Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." John 4:13,14. All who believe Gods word will talk about him and share his Truth with other people. May Gods word strengthen you all.

1Co 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
Mar 13:35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
Mar 13:36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
Mar 13:37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

Proper Rest
Proper Rest
Genesis 2:1-3 “ Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Gen 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made”.
We need proper rest on a daily basis, as it is essential to healthful living. God is our example in all things and it is clear that He rested after his labors were complete as presented to us in the Bible. We were created to work for a period of time and then our bodies require rest in order to rebuild and restore so that we can continue our labors and remain healthy temples for the living God. Rest is necessary for us as it was for God, and He designed us to work and rest as He is our example in all things. In order for us to receive proper rest, we must follow Gods instruction which is laid out plainly in the Bible, and the Bible should be our instruction guide to healthful living.
We read in Exodus 20:8-11 “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Exo 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
Exo 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
Exo 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it”.
God has instructed us as to when we are to work, He says six days are we to work, as he also worked, Sunday the first day of the week, thru Friday the sixth day of the week, then He rested the Seventh day which is the sabbath of the Lord thy God. God rested after creation week on the Sabbath, He also rested in the tomb on the sabbath after being crucified, and rose early on Sunday morning and returned to work. The earth is a practice field for the next life where those who have followed Gods instruction will have the priveledge to reign or live in the many mansions in His fathers house. Isaiah 66:22,23 says
“For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
Isa 66:23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.”
When we rest as God has instructed us on a weekly basis, following His law and word on a daily basis, we have marvelous rest daily and especially on the Sabbath day, the day God blessed and sanctified, or set aside as Holy.
Rest helps the body fight off invaders, such as bacteria and viruses that would leave us incapable of functioning at optimal health. The best hours for sleep and rest are 9:00PM to 6:00AM, and we should make it a habit to form a regular sleeping pattern. The hours from 9:00PM to 12:00AM provide excellent assistance to the body systems for restoration and rebuilding as the brain releases the seratonin which aids in restoring the immune system and assists other organ systems with the repair of the damage done by the days activity. Sleeping an hour, two or three, between 9 and 12AM provides twice the actual time in restful sleep to our bodies, and these are critical hours. Drugs for sleep assistance should be avoided. Melatonin is a natural sleep aid which is sold in health food stores and can assist the body to get rest in preparation for the brain releasing seratonin. Always consult your healthcare professional and read the labels prior to taking natural or man made chemicals. Adequate physical activity during the day will cause a relaxing of the muscle tension, and will increase the natural hormones that act as tranquilizers to aid the body getting rest. If we follow Gods instruction, we can have peace and obtain the rest our bodies require. May God bless this endeavor.
