Adventist Lifestyle and Longevity

I stumbled upon a study on what affect of being a Seventh-day Adventist have on a person.

1. Children born into an Adventist family tends to be 99g heavier than general public.
2. Total cholesterol is 0.86 mmol/L lower among Adventist men as compared to men in general.
3. Death due to cardiovascular is much lower among Adventist.
4. Deaths due to cancer is not much different than the non-Adventists. These could be that the Norwegean have lower cancer rate compared to the rest of the world.
5. Entering the Church at an early age contributes in reducing death due to diseases

I find this is so amazing that being born into Adventist family gives you a head start on longevity. Stay with the faith.

Bullying in Schools

The Medirian Star published an article entitled "Childhood, school bullying focus of today's workshop". The program is being promoted by Sandra Vaughn.

Bullying is a problem in public school and it is a breath of fresh air that an Adventist Church is putting up the program. I would like to think that such a topic is not a problem in Adventist Schools, but then I may be like an ostrich buried my head in the sand.

It is not only there are boys bullies, there are also girls bullies. It the article states that girls bullies may not use the same tactics to bully but they are bullies none the same.

Vegetarianism

Broadway World published an article Pianist David Phillips Plays Classic Works During 'Rites Of Spring' Series 4/25 and a light vegan faire to follow. The Jackson Sun also published an article Local church launches vegetarian supper club.

Vegetarianism has always been promoted within Adventist circle. Most Adventist institutions do not serve meat within the institution or during official functions. Though many are vegetarian but many more are not. And Adventist themselves are looking for new ways to encourage vegetarianism.

Vegetarian is one of the core message in the Adventist Lifestyle and we need to share not only to others but also to our children. The diseases of the world has no respect whether we are Adventist or not but what we eat will determine whether we suffer the diseases of the world or not. What we feed our children will determine whether they live longer or not.
