With an abundance of literature supporting the relentless pressures that educators face, the authors of this article decided to explore potential strategies that might help reduce faculty stress. The Seventh-day Adventist Church has advocated the adoption of specific health principles as a means for living a healthy, wholistic, reduced stress lifestyle. The acronym NEWSTART (Nutrition, Exercise, Water, Sunshine, Temperance, Air, Rest, and Trust in divine power) is used to summarize these health principles. For many years, Adventists have believed that following the tenets of the NEWSTART lifestyle will help to improve one’s overall health. Do these principles also provide a coping mechanism for stress? This article is based on the primary author’s original exploratory study, which examined the association between application of some of the key Seventh-day Adventist healthy lifestyle tenets and faculty stress.
