Here's to Your Health, St. Helena!
A Healthier You is on the Way!
The September 2003 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, one of the most prestigious publications in the nutrition field, contains a special supplement devoted to vegetarian diets based on the 4th International Congress on Vegetarian Nutrition held at Loma Linda University between April 8 and April 11, 2002. Attended by over 40 world renowned nutritionists, epidemiologists, and ecologists, the conference attracted more than 450 participants from round the globe. In the special supplement 25 articles detailed many of the positive aspects of a vegetarian regimen.
The study that would immediately gain your attention is the research report that looked at the relationship between meatless diets and longevity. Four of the six studies analyzed showed that vegetarians lived longer than people who ate meat. One study focused on Seventh Day Adventists who were questioned about their eating habits. Over a 12-year period the vegetarians in the group had a 15% lower chance of dying than those eating flesh just once each week.
This summer the St. Helena Star reported a desire by local business persons to promote HEALTH as one of our beautiful valley's commodities. With wonderful air, fine dining, natural springs and other environmental niceties, Great Health can be expected here.
The St. Helena Seventh-day Adventist Church has long endeavored to participate in Health-Enhancing activities. From a weekly Sabbath rest, to nature hikes and fitness walks, stress-reduction classes, depression recovery, and other seminars, the members of the church take seriously God's admonition to treat our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit.
During 2010, several seminars will be conducted at the St. Helena Seventh-day Adventist Church which will enhance the health of anyone participating:
