Adventist Lifestyle

Recently, Forbes.com published an article on How to Live to 100. Robert Langreth made reference on National Geographic articles a couple of years ago of how Adventist life longer than the general American public.

There seems to be some kind of studies done on the lifestyle of the Adventist every decades and I've heard of research going back to the 1950's. Haven't all the angles of the Adventist lifestyle been research enough already?

Generally, Adventist Lifestyle mean

1. Clean mean (though vegetarianism is encouraged)
2. No smoking
3. No drinking
4. Exercise, Water, Fresh Air (not as doctrinal as the first 3)

There have been many researches, medical journal articles and web pages telling us that vegetarianism is good for us, smoking and alcohol is bad for us and exercise is good. Yet with all these articles, how has it change the world?

It is still stock the world that some of the lifestyle diseases are caused by what we eat. Diseases like hypertension, diabetes, cancer, etc can be attributed to what we eat. All thing being equal, if we eat right, don't smoke, don't drink and exercise will, we could have avoided most of the diseases in the world. OK, maybe if not avoided, it would reduce our change of getting to a lesser degree.

The same sentiment is also reflected in an article in Manila Bulletin entitled Living to 100 by DR. Jose S. Pujalte, Jr.
