Counsels on Diet and Foods

1863

Ellen G. White

Co-founder of the Seventh Day Adventists and her dietary advice for a healthy and spiritual life.

Key Points:

Food is treated as part of spiritual discipline: eating in harmony with natural law is framed as obedience to divine law.
Simplicity, moderation, and avoidance of stimulants, refined foods, and overeating are presented as basic safeguards against disease.
White emphasizes the responsibility of homes, churches, and schools to model healthful habits, not just teach doctrines.
Bodily health and moral clarity are intertwined; neglecting one is eventually seen in the other.
