Psalms 139:14 – “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.”

“A cruel and wicked ignorance is tolerated in regard to this important question. So closely is health related to our happiness, that we cannot have the latter without the former. A Practical knowledge of the science of human life, is necessary in order to glorify God in our bodies. It is therefore of the HIGHEST IMPORTANCE, that among the studies selected...physiology should occupy the first place. How few know anything about the structure and functions of their own bodies, and of Nature's laws! Many are drifting about without knowledge, like a ship at sea without compass or anchor; and what is more, they are not interested to learn how to keep their bodies in a healthy condition and prevent disease.” (HR August 1, 186 par.4) (CH 38.1)

While sitting at the table we may do medical missionary work by eating and drinking to the glory of God.” {CD 111.3}
***EATING, DRINKING AND DRESSING are carried to such excess that they become crimes. They are among the marked sins of the last days, and constitute a sign of Christ’s soon coming...it is impossible to present our bodies a living sacrifice to God when we continually fill them with corruption and disease by our own sinful indulgence. Knowledge must be gained in regard to how to eat and drink and dress so as to preserve health.” (CH 24.2)
