I would guess to most people in most religions the quote "Make your body a temple of the Holy Spiritl" generally has connotations relating to the sins of the flesh and the sins against the commandment; Thou shall not covet your neighbor's wife.
The interpretation as to what different Christian faith's consider defiling your body are usually sexual in nature.There are some that say that suicide is a sin against your own body.
Staying alive is what most humans have faced in the world before this last 100 years. Staying healthy was a perk if you had the means to persue it . Now staying healthy is a choice we can make.
I think of the quote as more spiritual than physical.
It comes directly from St. Paul's letter to Christians in Corinth about Prostitutes.
But I would guess that VPL would tie it into eating a pure, plant based diet. Just a guess.
