Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) believe that the body is a sacred gift from God, and that we should take care of it. The Word of Wisdom, (standards to live by as to what we eat, drink, etc) includes:
1. No coffee. Coffee is a substance that many people rely upon to function, it becomes addictive and that is not good.
2. No alcohol. For obvious reasons LDS members believe that we should not drink alcohol.
3. No tobacco. Again, the reason behind not using tobacco is obvious. It causes cancer and other diseases.
4. No tea. Tea also contains caffeine, which is an addictive substance and should be avoided.
5. No drugs. This can range from marijuana to hydrocodone. (of course prescription drugs are the exception when used properly)
That's pretty much it. These things listed above can be harmful to our bodies and are simply unhealthy. There is nothing strange about the Word of Wisdom, it is just to help people stay healthy.
