EAT BREAKFAST (Do not skip breakfast) (eat at same time every day...preferably before 9:00
am).
“AT BREAKFAST TIME the stomach is in a better condition to take care of more food than at
the second or third meal of the day...MAKE YOUR BREAKFAST CORRESPOND MORE NEARLY
TO THE HEARTIEST MEAL OF THE DAY.” {CD 173.2}
“Some people skip breakfast in an effort to lose weight, but the practice is more likely to
cause weight gain than weight loss. SKIPPING BREAKFAST IS STRONGLY LINKED TO THE
DEVELOPMENT OF OBESITY. Studies show that overweight and obese children, adolescents,
and adults are less likely to break the fast each morning than their thinner
counterparts.” (Web MD)
2. DRINK ½ YOUR WEIGHT IN OUNCES OF WATER EVERY DAY. (Put fresh lemon juice in your
morning water).
“But if anything is needed to quench the thirst, pure water is all that nature requires. Never
take tea, coffee, beer, wine, or any spirituous liquor.” {CH 120.1}
I noticed one boy, three years of age, who had bowel difficulty. He had considerable fever. The
mother seemed to think that food would help his case, and every time he asked for food, she
gave him fried chicken, bread and butter, or rich cake. Another child of about ten years was
suffering from fever, and was disinclined to eat. Yet the mother urged her to eat this and
that. Children, sick, complaining, and feverish, were urged to eat food unfit to be placed in any
human stomach, even if in the most healthy condition.” {7MR 1.3
“We do not think fried potatoes are healthful, for there is more or less grease or butter used in
preparing them…” {CD 323.1}
“You should keep grease out of your food. It defiles any preparation of food you may make.
Eat largely of fruits and vegetables.” {CD 200.2}
5. 50 PERCENT RAW for Breakfast (3 fruit, + nuts or seeds) + Lunch (½ plate salad and
veggie).
“Masticate slowly, and allow the saliva to mingle with the food.” {CTBH 51.2}
“MAKE IT [A] HABIT NOT TO SIT UP AFTER NINE O'CLOCK. Every light should be
extinguished. This turning night into day is a wretched, health-destroying habit, and this
reading much by brain workers, up to the sleeping hours, IS VERY INJURIOUS TO HEALTH. It
calls the blood to the brain and then there is restlessness and wakefulness, and the precious
sleep that should rest the body does not come when desired.” {DG 177.1}
12. PRAY.
“There is now need of much prayer. Christ commands, “Pray without ceasing;” that is, keep
the mind uplifted to God, the source of all power and efficiency.” —Testimonies to Ministers,
510 {Pr 29.3}
