Healthy Living - The Word Of Wisdom - Page 2

One of our books of Scripture is called Doctrine and Covenants that reads:

https://scriptures.lds.org/dc/89/1-9

This is part of what is called "The Word of Wisdom" a health code that LDS members believe and should live. Not all members of the Church follow it as they should, some eat meat in excess or sugar in excess.

Wisdom Word - Living Healthy

It is interesting that it says to use Alcohol on the exterior of the body. My mother in-law always has cheap rum in the house to rub her aches with! I though she was just hiding the fact she liked an odd nip! I will have to tell her this and apologize for my ill thoughts.

Thank you for the insight given here.

Healthy Living - The Word Of Wisdom Studies Doctrine Mormon

I went to the park this July 4 with my wife and son and our 6-month-old overactive dog. My wife brought up the wisdom of taking the dog for a walk/trot. I haven't done much physical exercise in a while, and was not sure what the outcome would be. I ran poochie up and down the hill twice, and felt just great! Not even out of breath. It wasn't until later that I thought of the promise of the Word of Wisdom, that I would run and not be weary. I didn't expect a positive outcome, but feel to be thankful for the Word of Wisdom promises in my life.
