Answers from an Apostle

Why Should I Take Care of My Body?

By Elder D. Todd Christofferson

Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Adapted from “Respecting the Gift of Our Bodies,” Liahona, Aug. 2019, 64–65.

Because it is an amazing gift from God and it is like His body.

Because your spirit lives in your body.

Because your body is holy, like the temple.

Because your body helps you live Heavenly Father’s plan.
