From observations based on research and his medical practice, the author makes recommendations for improving health and preventing diseases related to lifestyle and nutrition. He makes brief references to the "Adventist advantage," the major benefits in health and longevity to be gained by following the basic health and nutrition principles advocated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Bailie notes his principles are not new. He says, "An ancient manuscript, the Bible, in Genesis 1:29 cites a dietary program that would have no cholesterol, and be low in both total and saturated fat, with reasonable amounts of protein and ample natural fiber. Perhaps in dietary practices we are coming full circle, as we have in so many things throughout history, and heading back toward the original diet indicated for man by the Master Designer."
Without going into tiresome detail, Bailie suggests in layperson's language, behaviors that lead to a longer and fuller life.
