Word of Wisdom

Through modern revelation, God has given us council on what foods are good for our bodies.  In the 89th Section of the Doctrine and Covenants, also known as the Word of Wisdom, we can read His guidelines for us.  As our creator, He has a perfect knowledge on how we can best care for our bodies.

D&C 89:10-16

10 And again, verily I say unto you, all wholesome herbs God hath ordained for the constitution, nature, and use of man-

11 Every herb in the season thereof, and every fruit in the season thereof; all these to be used with prudence and thanksgiving.

12 Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly;

13 And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine.

14 All grain is ordained for the use of man and of beasts, to be the staff of life, not only for man but for the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven, and all wild animals that run or creep on the earth;

15 And these hath God made for the use of man only in times of famine and excess of hunger.

16 All grain is good for the food of man; as also the fruit of the vine; that which yieldeth fruit, whether in the ground or above the ground-
