Word of Wisdom

  1. Guidelines mandated by Church doctrine that pertain to what one eats and does.

These guidelines came about as a revelation to Joseph Smith Jr. and are meant to promote healthy living. LDS beliefs hold that the body and spirit are intertwined and as such affect each other a great deal. The main principles of this doctrine hold that people must abstain from alcohol, hot drinks (tea and coffee), and tobacco; additionally, they should also eat a healthy and balanced diet.
