Here is a summary of Ellen White's health and diet guidance, based on her writings: 1. Simplicity and Wholesomeness: Eat only plain, simple, wholesome food. Avoid stimulants and harmful articles of diet. Use wholesome, palatable food in place of what has been discarded for health reasons. 2. Nutrition and Variety: A diet should provide proper nourishment. Avoid diets lacking in nutrition or that are too meager in variety, as these can harm health. 3. Preparation and Care: Food should be thoroughly cooked, neatly prepared, and appetizing. Careful preparation is important for both health and enjoyment. 4. Avoid Extremes: Do not advocate or practice extremes in diet. Health reform should be reasonable and not pressed indiscreetly. 5. Individual Needs: Not everyone can eat the same foods. Some thrive on milk, others do not. Some can digest certain grains or legumes, others cannot. Diet should be adapted to individual needs. 6. Simplicity for Spiritual and Physical Health: Simplicity in diet is best for both physical and spiritual advancement. Study the subject carefully and obey nature’s laws. 7. Diet and Mental/Spiritual Health: Diet affects both physical and moral health. Those with important responsibilities should be especially temperate in eating. 8. Practical Suggestions: For sedentary or mental workers, try eating only two or three kinds of simple food at each meal, and eat only enough to satisfy hunger. Take daily exercise. 9. Consider Circumstances: When teaching health reform, consider the circumstances of people in different countries and economic situations. Do not prescribe the strictest diet where it cannot be adopted. 10. Instruction Needed: There is a great need for instruction in dietetic reform, as wrong habits of eating and unhealthful food contribute to many problems. 11. Children’s Health: Many children’s health problems are caused by errors in diet, which can often be corrected with common sense. 12. Fruits, Grains, and Vegetables: These, prepared simply and free from spice and grease, with milk and cream, are recommended as the most healthful diet. In summary, Ellen White’s guidance emphasizes a balanced, simple, and nutritious diet, careful preparation, avoidance of extremes, and adaptation to individual and situational needs. She also stresses the importance of education and common sense in health reform. If you would like more specific guidance or have questions about particular foods or practices, please let me know!
