    Treatment for Nervous Disorders

    Improve the General Health

    871. The mind and body are intimately connected. If the former is to be firm and well balanced, the latter should be in the best possible condition.

It induces sound, sweet sleep.—Testimonies for the Church 1:702.HL 203.4

    877. Physical labor, a diversion from mental, will draw the blood from the brain.—Testimonies for the Church 2:569.HL 204.4

    879. The proper exercise of mind and body will develop and strengthen all the powers. Both mind and body will be preserved, and will be capable of doing a variety of work.... The proper use of the physical strength as well as the mental powers will equalize the circulation of the blood, and keep every organ of the living machinery in running order.... Every faculty of the mind may be exercised with comparative safety if the physical powers are equally taxed, and the subject of thought varied. We need a change of employment, and nature is a living, healthful teacher.—Special Instruction on Educational Work 14.HL 204.6
