Physical Health
December 14, 2009 3:44 am ReferenceThe mormon doctrine on physical health is linked inseparably with the Word of Wisdom. Mormons believe that bodies are temples given to us as gifts from Heavenly Father, and they should therefore be treated with the utmost respect and care. The Word of Wisdom teaches the mormon doctrine of no alcohol or drug consumption. It also teaches that we should go to bed early and get up early, taking care of ourselves. Beyond this, mormon doctrine teaches that we should exercise regularly and eat well, because it’s not just about refraining from things that will harm our bodies, but also putting the good things in it.
