• At each meal eat 75-80% fresh raw fruits and vegetables and 20-25% steamed, cooked, or baked dishes.
• Allow 5 hours between meals.
• Eat nothing between meals.
• Drink 6-8 glasses of water per day.
• Walk no less than 5 times per week for weight loss; work up to a 35- to 45-minute fast walk. This will also enable you to get fresh air and sunshine.
• Keep a regular schedule for getting up in the morning, going to bed in the evening, and eating.
• Go to bed early; get up early (the best "quality hours" for rest are those BEFORE 12:00 midnight).

You are responsible for your health. No one else can do it for you.

Study the manifestation of God's love and wisdom in the works of nature. Study that marvelous organism the human system and the laws by which it is governed. Those who perceive the evidences of God's love, who understand something of the wisdom and beneficence of His laws and the results of obedience, will come to regard their duties and obligations from an altogether different point of view. Instead of looking upon an observance of the laws of health as a matter of sacrifice or self-denial, they will regard it as it really is - an inestimable blessing. Ministry of Healing, p. 147.
