Philosopher and Author
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 moderation in all good things.
In general, the more food we eat in its natural state and the less
it is refined without additives, the healthier it will be for us.
Food can affect the mind, and deficiencies in certain elements in
the body can promote mental depression. A good physical
examination periodically is a safeguard and may spot problems that
can be remedied. Rest and physical exercise are essential, and a
walk in the fresh air can refresh the spirit. Wholesome recreation
is part of our religion, and a change of pace is necessary, and
even its anticipation can lift the spirit. -- Ezra Taft Benson (Ensign,
Nov 1974, p 66)
The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will
interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet,

The first wealth is health. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
The inescapable truth is that we can only achieve and sustain
optimum metabolism when we eat, exercise, and live under an
optimum emotional state. Our frame of mind directly impacts
metabolism to such a degree that what we think and feel
profoundly influences how we digest a meal. Metabolic power is
not only about what you eat, but who you are when you’re eating.
-- Marc David, health and nutrition consultant, author
The leading cause of death among fashion models is falling through street grates. -- Dave Barry
The Lord in His wisdom has warned us that substances that are
not good for us should be totally avoided. We have been warned
not to take the first drink, smoke the first cigarette, or try
the first drug. Curiosity and peer pressure are selfish reasons
to dabble with addictive substances. We should stop and consider
the full consequences, not just to ourselves and our futures,
but also to our loved ones. These consequences are physical, but
they also risk the loss of the Spirit and cause us to fall prey
to Satan. -- James E. Faust (Ensign, May 2006, p 53)
The only "crisis" in health care in this country is that
doctors are paid too little. It's only a matter of time before
the best and brightest students forget about medical school and
go to law school instead. How long can a society based on suing
the productive last? You can make 30 times as much money as
doctors by becoming a trial lawyer suing doctors. You need no
skills, no superior board scores, no decade of training and no
sleepless residency. But you must have the morals of a drug
dealer. The Democratic Party treats doctors like they're Klan
members. They wail about how much doctors are paid and celebrate
the trial lawyers who do absolutely nothing to make society
better, but swoop in and steal from the most valuable members of
society. -- Ann Coulter, Sep 2007

When 13,922 people around the world were examined as part of the European Community Respiratory Health
Survey, researchers found that people who don't have allergies usually had either a brother or a dog.
Also, sharing a bedroom with a sibling seemed to protect against allergies to cats. In case you're
interested, having a brother was slightly more useful than having a dog, but the difference wasn't really
that great. -- Journal of Clinical Immunology, 2004
