Word of Wisdom

The Word of Wisdom is a health guideline found in the Doctrine and Covenants, a book of scripture for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It advises avoiding substances like alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drugs, and encourages the use of wholesome foods such as grains, fruits, and vegetables. The purpose is to promote physical well-being and spiritual growth. While often seen as a health code, it also reflects principles of moderation, self-control, and respect for one's body, emphasizing that taking care of physical health can enhance spiritual vitality and overall quality of life.
