PRESENTATION OF THE CAMPAIGN


Lets start a healthy lifestyle
With joy I present to the Ecuadorian people a campaign that has been designed with much love and care by your
adventist friends. A campaign that aims to be a turning point in the life of Ecuadorians. A campaign that will provide
knowledge and skills to start a Healthy Lifestyle and will bring great satisfaction to individuals and families in our
country.
Fundamentally, the campaign informs and instructs you on the proper use of the eight divine secrets of health
given by God to humanity in the creation week. Thus, each secret is presented in a simple language showing their
value to human health.
Our mission is to serve society, using the guidance of God recorded in the Holy Bible. We therefore believe that
the welfare, full life is a gift from the Creator.
Therefore, I invite you to live, but to live Gods way.

Le o n e l Lo zan o

President of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Ecuador

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health,
even as thy soul prospereth.

WHAT IS THE CAMPAIGN


ABOUT?

It is an educational campaign to promote health. A campaign that seeks to create awareness among the general
population to adopt a Healthy Lifestyle which allows people to significantly reduce the risk of chronic disease
or early death.
The healthy lifestyle, described by the BBC as a potent recipe for wellbeing... It is a compelling model for
a world struggling with the scourge of obesity, diabetes and the chronic diseases of old age. 1 is part of a
creationist worldview of life. It was proposed by writer Ellen White 152 years ago (1863), long before science
highlighted it.
Thus, the campaign addresses the issue of health with a holistic approach: physical health, mental health and
spiritual health.

WHY THE CAMPAIGN IS


DONE?

Because nowadays, much of chronic disease and early death, is basically caused by peoples bad lifestyle: inadequate nutrition, sedentary
lifestyle, regular consumption of tobacco and alcohol among others.
Precisely the National Health and Nutrition Survey (ENSANUT 2011-2013) 2 conducted by the Health Ministry and the National
Institute of Statistics and Census (INEC) of Ecuador, revealed that of the total population, nearly seven million are overweight or
obese, and only 3 out of 10 Ecuadorians do any physical activity or sport. It also revealed that 414,514 people over 10 years
suffer from diabetes, and more than one third of Ecuadors population is pre-hypertensive. And 717,529 people aged 10 to 59
years suffer hypertension. Unfortunately figures are rising every year.
Currently there is little doubt that the main causes of death by disease in Ecuador, are related to metabolic, respiratory, gastrointestinal
and mental and other cardiovascular diseases. Largely caused by harmful habits and unhealthy life styles. Diseases that could be
prevented by adopting The healthy lifestyle proposed by this campaign, at no cost to the Ecuadorians.
In such considerations and because of the Ecuadorians limited information and general instruction about healthy lifestyles, it is
fully justified to implement the HEALTH EDUCATION CAMPAIGN: MORE THAN HEALTH, WE BRING LIFE.

ATTACHMENTS
Adventist Health Studies
The US government, the BBC, National Geographic and many journals have published hundreds of studies, scientific articles
and news on health or medical condition of Adventists.
There is currently much interest in knowing the value of the Adventist Lifestyle, to benefit the rest of the population. We
present as an example some of them:
In a world where the cost of obesity equals tobacco and armed conflict, it is
surprising to find a community that does not conform to this trend. They live
to a ripe old age without chronic diseases. The reason for this extraordinary
longevity could be rooted in their faith. The Adventist lifestyle includes
a vegetarian diet for the most part, frequent exercise and a commitment to
celebrate the Sabbath as a day of rest.
The Loma Linda lifestyle appears to add up to a potent recipe for wellbeing.
There is little doubt, based on statistical evidence, that this community can expect
to live significantly longer than most other people. It is a compelling model for a
world struggling with the scourge of obesity, diabetes and the chronic diseases
of old age.

Would you believe that you can add 10 years to your life? A long and healthy life is no accident. It starts with good genes,
but also depends on good habits. According to experts, if the right lifestyle is adopted, the chances are that you can live a
decade longer. In recent years, researchers have searched the globe to find the secrets of long life ... In Loma Linda, California, researchers studied a group of Seventh-day Adventists distinguished by its longevity .
