A Part of an Adequate Diet
471. Grains, fruits, nuts, and vegetables constitute the diet chosen
for us by our Creator. These foods prepared in as simple and natural a
manner as possible, are the most healthful and nourishing. They impart
a strength, a power of endurance, and a vigor of intellect, that are not
afforded by a more complex and stimulating diet.—

472. In grains, fruits, vegetables, and nuts are to be found all the
food elements that we need. If we will come to the Lord in simplicity
of mind, He will teach us how to prepare wholesome food free from
the taint of flesh meat.—

A Temporary Fruit Diet
473. Intemperate eating is often the cause of sickness, and what
nature most needs is to be relieved of the undue burden that has been
placed upon her. In many cases of sickness, the very best remedy is
for the patient to fast for a meal or two, that the overworked organs of
digestion may have an opportunity to rest. A fruit diet for a few days
has often brought great relief to brain workers. Many times a short
period of entire abstinence from food, followed by simple, moderate
eating, has led to recovery through nature’s own recuperative effort.
An abstemious diet for a month or two would convince many sufferers
that the path of self-denial is the path to health.—
