<![CDATA[This study aims to construct a preventive holistic health model grounded in spirituality based on the narrative of Daniel 1:8–15 within the framework of theology of health. Employing a qualitative library research design, this study utilizes canonical theological exegesis integrated with a theological-health hermeneutical approach to examine the relationship between spiritual discipline, self-regulation, and healthy lifestyle practices within the context of covenant identity. The findings reveal that the Daniel narrative presents an integrative and preventive health paradigm through three key dimensions: faith-based ethical decision-making, embodied discipline through dietary practices, and observable physical outcomes. These findings demonstrate that biblical spirituality is not dualistic but is embodied in concrete life practices that shape health-related behavior. Spiritual discipline functions as an internal mechanism of self-regulation that contributes to sustainable healthy living. The novelty of this study lies in the formulation of a preventive theology of health model derived from biblical narrative, which integrates theological, spiritual, and contemporary health perspectives. Theoretically, this study contributes to the development of integrative theology of health, while practically it offers a conceptual framework for faith-based health education and pastoral care in contemporary contexts.]]>
