HEALTH NUGGET
We are God's workmanship, and his word declares that
we are "fearfully and wonderfully made. He has prepared this living
habitation for the mind; it is "curiously wrought," a temple which
the Lord himself has fitted up the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
S.T. on E., p33.{HL 9.4]
Cause of Sickness
Lack of Exercise
Neglecting to exercise the entire body, or a
portion of it will bring on morbid conditions. Inaction
of any of the organs of the body will be followed by a
decrease in size and strength of the muscles, and will
cause the blood to flow sluggishly through the blood
vessels. T., V.111, p.76. [HL 28.2}
