Voici quelques conseils sur la santé et l'alimentation tirés des écrits d'Ellen White.
### L'importance de l'alimentation
Ellen White souligne que nos habitudes alimentaires ont un impact profond sur notre bien-être physique, mental et spirituel.
* **Influence sur la santé physique et morale**: "The diet affects both physical and moral health" (CTBH 79).
* **Un indicateur de notre engagement spirituel**: "Our habits of eating and drinking show whether we are of the world or among the number whom the Lord by His mighty cleaver of truth has separated from the world" (6T 372).
* **Une question de première importance**: "The question of how to preserve the health is one of primary importance. When we study this question in the fear of God we shall learn that it is best, for both our physical and our spiritual advancement, to observe simplicity in diet" (
9T 153.3).
### Le régime alimentaire idéal
Le régime recommandé est simple, naturel et nutritif, basé sur les aliments que Dieu a fournis à l'origine.
* **Les aliments choisis par le Créateur**: "Grains, fruits, nuts, and vegetables constitute the diet chosen for us by our Creator. These foods, prepared in as simple and natural a manner as possible, are the most healthful and nourishing. They impart a strength, a power of endurance, and a vigor of intellect that are not afforded by a more complex and stimulating diet" (
MH 296.1).
* **Préparation simple**: "Fruits, grains, and vegetables, prepared in a simple way, free from spice and grease of all kinds, make, with milk and cream, the most healthful diet" (CTBH 47).
### Conseils pratiques
Elle donne également des conseils pratiques pour adapter notre alimentation à nos besoins individuels et éviter les extrêmes.
* **Adapter l'alimentation**: "Our diet should be suited to the season, to the climate in which we live, and to the occupation we follow... God has given us an ample variety of healthful foods, and each person should choose from it the things that experience and sound judgment prove to be best suited to his own necessities" (
MH 296.2).
* **Éviter les carences**: "A diet lacking in the proper elements of nutrition brings reproach upon the cause of health reform. We are mortal and must supply ourselves with food that will give proper nourishment to the body" (
9T 161.3).
* **Attention aux erreurs alimentaires**: "Many students are deplorably ignorant of the fact that diet exerts a powerful influence upon the health. Some have never made a determined effort to control the appetite, or to observe proper rules in regard to diet. They eat too much, even at their meals, and some eat between meals whenever the temptation is presented" (
CTBH 83.1).
En résumé, les conseils portent sur un retour à un régime simple et naturel, composé de fruits, de céréales, de noix et de légumes, tout en faisant preuve de jugement et de modération pour répondre aux besoins individuels.
