"Diet An important part of the nurse's duty is the care of the patient's diet. The patient should not be allowed to suffer or become unduly weakened through lack of nourishment, nor should the enfeebled digestive powers be overtaxed. Care should be taken so to prepare and serve the food that it will be palatable, but wise judgment should be used in adapting it to the needs of the patient, both in quantity and quality. In times of convalescence especially, when the appetite is keen, before the digestive organs have recovered strength, there is great danger of injury from errors in diet. MH 221"
"Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it."
Both passages warn against overindulgence in food, especially when one's body is weak or recovering. The EGW passage specifically applies this principle to convalescing patients, while Proverbs 25:16 uses the example of honey.
"Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men."
Both passages encourage a supportive and patient attitude towards those in need, though the EGW passage focuses specifically on the sick while the Bible verse is more general.
