Temperance

<p>The subject of <strong>temperance in diet</strong> is one that <strong>demands our attention</strong> and is the means of saving us from a thousand troubles that lurk all around. Living temperate lives requires sacrifice which most people are not willing to give. However if strict temperance is observed it will serve as a <strong>protection</strong> instead of a restriction.</p><p>When <strong>temperance in eating and drinking</strong> is viewed as a blessing instead of a restriction it becomes easier for us to make <strong>healthier choices in our diet</strong>. <strong>Adding life to our years</strong> is far better than adding years to our lives. We do not want to live a long and miserable life full of doctor's visits but we want to <strong>live a long life</strong> where our lives are full of <strong>life vigor and health</strong>. It is possible if we deny ourselves of <strong>health-destroying practices and lifestyles</strong>.</p>
