Unit 7: Perfecting Our Lives
Chapter 29: The Lord's Law of Health
Concept 3: We Are Taught That Certain Things Are Good for Our Bodies

"Fruits, vegetables, and wholesome herbs are good for us.  We should use them with wisdom and thanksgiving.

The flesh of birds and animals is also provided for our food.  However, we should eat meat sparingly (D&C 49:18  "And whoso forbiddeth to abstain from meats, that man should not eat the same, is not ordained of God;" 89:12  "Yea, dc/89/12a">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;").  Fish is also good for us to eat.

Grains are good for us.  Wheat is especially good for us.  Grains may be used also to make mild drinks.

Moroni 10:4-5
  "4 And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
  5 And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things."
