Health & Temperance Leader health@fairhavensda.org |
We believe God calls us to care for our bodies, treating them with the respect a divine creation deserves. Gluttony and excess, even of something good, can be detrimental to our health. We also believe the key to wellness lies in a life of balance and temperance. Nature creates a wealth of good things that lead to vibrant health. When used appropriately; pure water, fresh air and sunlight; promote clean healthy lives.
Exercise and avoidance of harmful substances such as tobacco, alcohol and mind-altering substances lead to clear minds and wise choices. A well-balanced vegetarian diet that avoids the consumption of meat coupled with intake of legumes, whole grains, nuts, fruits and vegetables, along with a source of vitamin B12, will promote vigorous health. Such health is a gift from a loving God who wants us to live life in its abundance. When we benefit from such love, we feel a sense of gratitude and appreciation toward our creator. We choose to praise God with joyful living because of this. |
