Health Ministries Director

Let’s Move to Live
• To motivate ourselves and our
church members and the

do it in a very enjoyable way to
obtain good results.

• According to the US Surgeon
General (US Department of
Health) physical activity is the
best longevity predictor.
Let’s Move to Live
• The World Health Organization
defines physical activity as any
body movement produced by the
skeletal muscles, and consumes
energy. These include the
activities that are performed at
work, at play, travelling, domestic
task and other recreational
activities.
Let’s Move to Live
Inactivity is a fruitful cause of disease. Exercise
quickens and equalizes the circulation of the blood,
but in idleness the blood does not circulate freely,
and the changes in it, so necessary to life and
health, do not take place. The skin, too, becomes
inactive. Impurities are not expelled as they would
be if the circulation had been quickened by
vigorous exercise, the skin kept in a
healthy condition, and the lungs fed
with plenty of pure, fresh air. This state
of the system throws a double burden
on the excretory organs, and disease is
the result. Ministry of Healing 238
