Health conditions

Sicknesses are everywhere. We see people suffer from many different kinds of diseases, physically and mentally, slight or severe. We often have slight illnesses such as fever, headache, body pains, diarrhea, dizziness, flu, to mention a few. We experience these health problems almost all throughout our lifetime. There are certain diseases a person can have that are serious and it needs to be taken into consideration, and some health problems are not. Nowadays, cancer, diabetes, asthma, heart and lung problems, etc. are some of the health problems almost every family is suffering. And many of us have suffered these diseases that can affect everybody else around us.

Mrs. White says, “If we are sick, we impose a weary tax upon our friends, and unfit ourselves for discharging our duties to our families and to our neighbors. And when premature death is the result of
our violation of nature’s law, we bring sorrow and suffering to others; we deprive our neighbors of the help we ought to render them in living; we rob our families of the comfort and help we might render them, and rob God of the service He claims of us to advance His glory.” Counsels on Diet and Foods, p. 20.

The most precious treasure and the plan for our health

“Health is a treasure. Of all temporal possessions, it is the most precious. Wealth, learning, and honor are dearly purchased at the loss of the vigor of health. None of these can secure happiness, if health is lacking. It is a terrible sin to abuse the health that God has given us; such abuses enfeeble us for life, and make us losers, even if we gain by such means any amount of education."

"God has bountifully provided for the sustenance and happiness of all His creatures; if His laws were never violated, if all acted in harmony with the divine will, health, peace, and happiness, instead of misery and continual evil, would be the result.” Counsels on diet and Food, p.20

 How to keep the body healthy

“To keep the body in a healthy condition, in order that all parts of the living machinery may act harmoniously, should be a study of our life.”

“The majority of diseases which the human family have been and still are suffering under, they have created by ignorance of their own organic laws. They seem indifferent in regard to the matter of health, and work perseveringly to tear themselves to pieces, and when broken down and debilitated in body and mind, send for the doctor and drug themselves to death.”

The Health Reformer, October, 1866

“Knowledge must be gained in regard to how to eat, and drink, and dress so as to preserve health. Sickness is caused by violating the laws of health; it is the result of violating nature’s law. Our first duty, one which we owe to God, to ourselves, and to our fellow men, is to obey the laws of God, which include the laws of health.” Counsels on diet and Food, p.20

Your choice, my choice

Diseases are around us. Either we or our family members suffer. Everybody else doesn’t want to experience any of these diseases. But whatever we have experienced comes because of our own choice. To be healthy is a personal choice. It’s not the choice of others while we neglect what we ought to do. To be healthy is not a chance but a choice just like to be unhealthy is your choice and my choice. As what Mrs. White says that we need to know by personal study to gain knowledge on how to keep healthy.
