The Word of Wisdom
      of the
      Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

      It is a proven fact that Mormons are some of the healthiest people on this earth. Ever wonder why? We believe it to be because of the Word of Wisdom, which was passed onto us through a revelation given to Joseph Smith in the early 1800's.

      We have been taught in just about all religions to treat our bodies as temples, and this is where the Word of Wisdom comes in. It reads as follows:

      Abstain from:
      Alcohol Tea
      Tobacco Coffee
      Harmful Drugs

      These substances damage our bodies, which in turn harms our spirits. The Lord has promised us if we follow the Word of Wisdom, we will enjoy greater health as well as being blessed with wisdom, strength and divine protection.
