Lesson Title: "Nutrition and the Word of Wisdom"
OTHER RESOURCES:
OBJECTIVE:
Each young woman will understand and desire to practice the basic principles of good nutrition contained in the Word of Wisdom.
PREPARATION:
- Optional: Gift wrap several nutritious foods, such as any fruit, vegetable, whole-grain product, hard-boiled egg, or cheese. Do the same with some empty-calorie foods, such as candy, soda pop, potato chips, pastries, or cookies. Put all these gifts in a large paper sack so each young woman in the class may choose one.
- Assign young women to present any stories, scriptures, or quotations you wish.
ATTENTION GETTER:
Show the class the paper sack of gift-wrapped items. Allow each young woman to choose a gift from the sack and open it.
Ask class members to explain which gifts are best for them. Then have them consider how we benefit by eating nutritious foods.
Suggest to the young women that they have their agency even in the choice of the foods they eat, and if they will choose the proper foods, they will have better health than they would if they ate foods that are not nutritious.
LESSON:
Lesson 38 at lds.org
CONCLUSION:
Have a young woman read Doctrine and Covenants D&C 29:34-35.
Although many of God's commandments affect our temporal lives, they are also given to enhance our spiritual well-being. Through obedience to his commandments, we gain temporal as well as spiritual blessings.
