For the last eight years, the General Conference Health Ministries department has promoted the celebration of health as a wonderful, blessed gift of a gracious and loving Heavenly Father. The emphasis is not only on wellness but on wholeness--even wholeness in our intrinsic brokenness. This 2010 second quarter's lessons on health and healing elaborate on this theme and the acronym "CELEBRATIONS" which emphasizes
- Choices,
- Exercise,
- use of Liquids,
- stewardship of the Environment,
- Belief and trust,
- Rest and recreation,
- the benefits of fresh Air,
- the importance of Temperance,
- the integral role of Integrity,
- the health value of Optimism,
- the essentials of good Nutrition, and
- the undergirding foundation of Social support.
Life's Beat is an ongoing health series aired on Hope Channel covering a wide range of topics in the format of a question and answer program. They cover both disease processes and wellness topics and recommendations from the perspective of health promotion, education, the determinants of health including poverty and social justice. New programs are added regularly.
Life’s Beat has won a "Telly" award for excellence in its field and is produced under the direction of the General Conference Health Ministries’ Director, Dr Allan Handysides, in collaboration with the Health Ministry team of the General Conference.
