Also, the Adventist church has always had a strong health message. The Bible says our bodies are a temple, and we’ve tried to live that way, however imperfectly.
Vegetarianism has been a big part of our practices. I grew up Adventist and vegetarian, but started eating meat when I was a teenager.
These days probably 40% of Adventists are vegetarian. Many of them think it’s a healthier way to live. You and I might disagree, and that’s fine, but in general they do try to practice healthy living.
Loma Linda, CA is a “blue zone” because of all the Adventists there. Why do they live so long? Is it because of health practices? Community? Spirituality? Something else? I’d guess a bit of everything.
