PHILOSOPHICAL AND THEOLOGICAL CONCEPT OF JOHN HARVEY KELLOGG IN RELATION TO THE PRINCIPLES OF A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

Abstract

Examining the ideas of the Living Temple, it was found that it contains a description of the principles of health according to which it is necessary to take care of the human body. According to Kellogg, the stated principles of health care are in harmony with the laws of nature and the Bible. The title of the book reflects the core and essence of Kellogg's philosophy, which calls the human body a "living temple." Kellogg based this concept on the words of the Apostle Paul: "Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit" (1 Corinthians 6:19). Kellogg was convinced that a man living in a civilized environment had departed far from the divine ideal that was originally proposed for the comfortable life of man.
