Lesson Title: "Preventing Disease"
OTHER RESOURCES:
OBJECTIVE:
Each young woman will understand some ways to prevent disease.
PREPARATION:
- Assign young women to present any scriptures, stories, or quotations you wish.
Adapt this lesson to the needs of the young women in your area. If you have class members with special health problems, be careful that this lesson is helpful, not discouraging, to them.
ATTENTION GETTER:
Review the article from the Ensign. Link found above in "other resources."
LESSON:
Lesson 39 at lds.org
CONCLUSION:
Sister Barbara B. Smith, a General President of the Relief Society, has said, “The state of our health affects every facet of our life-our feeling of personal well-being, our approach to work, our social interactions-even our service to the Lord” (Ensign, Nov. 1978, p. 77).
Remind the young women that their bodies are a great blessing from the Lord and a necessary part of their progress toward exaltation. They should take the best possible care of their bodies.
Print the handout on pretty cardstock paper. Cut into 4 handouts and give one to each young woman.

MID-WEEK ACTIVITY IDEA:
With the approval of your priesthood adviser, you may want to invite a health specialist (nurse, doctor, or medical assistant) to meet with the young women on a weekday and discuss how disease-carrying microorganisms spread, how the microorganisms react in our bodies, and how we can keep them from spreading.
