 Health Ministries We take seriously God's instructions to care for ourselves and each other in body, mind and spirit! For this reason, many in the Seventh-day Adventist Church endeavor to adhere to a life free of substances which are known to cause harm to the body or mind. Health in the News Many studies and several documenaries have been made on people who live to be over 100 years old. The October 2009 issue of US News and World Report offered "Ten Health Habits that Will Help You Live to 100." National Geographic filmed a huge piece which was released in November 2005 on living to be 100, with startling results. Many members of the St. Helena Seventh-day Adventist Church are participants in an enormous study entitled the Adventist Health Study 2 funded by the NIH on disease and longevity. This study is attempting to determine why SDA's live longer and contract certain diseases less often than the normal population. Health at St. Helena Adventist Church The St. Helena Church provides literature and classes on healthy living, either free or for the cost of materials alone. During the early spring of 2009, Dr. Vicki Griffin's series, Food for Thought, emphasized concepts of the relationship of food and mental health. In another weekly series by Dr. Neal Nedley, Depression, the Way Out, a class watched informative lectures, studied a book by the same name, and worked in small groups to clarify concepts. During the month of February 2010, 34+ individuals enjoyed the educational advantages of CHIP, the Coronary Health Improvement Project - and you can join us in January of 2011 to do the program, too! Watch our Activities Page for upcoming events which can impact your and your family in positive, lifelong ways.
