Following Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) dietary guidelines involves emphasizing a plant-based diet that includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, while avoiding or minimizing the consumption of meat, especially red and processed meats. Many adherents follow a vegetarian or vegan diet. The guidelines also discourage the use of alcohol, tobacco, and stimulants such as caffeine. Meals are typically balanced, nutritious, and often organically grown, with attention to moderation and avoiding overeating. Water, adequate rest, and physical activity are also considered important components of the overall health message promoted by the SDA Church.
