Diseased Flesh – Brigham Young, 1877
Swine’s flesh . . . is more susceptible of diseases than any other flesh that we eat. It is not like fish or fowl. It is susceptible of disease of every kind, and will impregnate the system with disease far quicker than any other food that we eat. [“Relief Societies—Talk to Mothers—Improvement Societies—Domestic Matters—Training Children—Home Production—Silk Interests,” reported…

Pure Air – Brigham Young, 1860
Good pure air is the great sustainer of animal life. Other elements of life we can dispense with for a time, but this seems to be essential of well ventilated dwelling-houses, especially the rooms occupied for sleeping. You can live without water and food longer than you can without air, and water is of more…

Open Air – Brigham Young,1856
I have argued the point before the people that they are not aware of their ability, that they do not know what they can do; that they are healthier when they live in the open air. What gives the people colds and makes them sick? You hear many say, “I had not had a cold…

Using Swine – Brigham Young, 1868
We should take a course to preserve our lives and the lives of the animals committed to our care. We should refrain from using swine’s flesh. [“Evidences That the Saints Love and Serve God—How to Build up Zion—Taking Care of Grain,” reported by Edward L. Sloan, Journal of Discourses, vol. 12 (Liverpool: Albert Carrington, 1869),…

Cease eating swine Brigham Young, 1868
A thorough reformation is needed in regard to our eating and drinking, and on this point I will freely express myself, and shall be glad if the people will hear, believe and obey. If the people were willing to receive the true knowledge from heaven in regard to their diet they would cease eating…

Fresh Air – Brigham Young, 1868
We should breathe the pure mountain air in our bed-rooms. We should have lofty rooms, high above the ground, for though this earth is pure, compared with miasmatic places, the air that is above the ground is preferable to that close to it. We should have plenty of pure,

Over Exertion – Joseph F. Smith, 1912
The Word of Wisdom dictates that when we become weary we should stop and rest. When we are threatened with exhaustion, through over-exertion, wisdom would caution us to wait, to stop; not to take a stimulant to urge us on to greater extremes, go where we can retire and rest and recuperate according to the…

Food & Depression – Ezra Taft Benson, 5 Oct. 1974
The condition of the physical body can affect the spirit. That’s why the Lord gave us the Word of Wisdom. He also said that we should retire to our beds early and arise early (see D&C 88:124), that we should not run faster than we have strength (see D&C 10:4), and that we should use…
