Healthful Living
Fresh Air
733. The strength of the system is, in a great degree, dependent
upon the amount of pure air breathed.—
The Health Reformer, Febru-
ary 1, 1877
.
734. In the cool of the evening it may be necessary to guard
from chilliness by extra clothing, but they should give their lungs
air.—
Testimonies for the Church 2:527
.
735. Many labor under the mistaken idea that if they have taken
cold, they must carefully exclude the outside air, and increase the
temperature of their room until it is excessively hot. The system may
be deranged, the pores closed by waste matter, and the internal organs
suffering more or less inflammation, because the blood has been chilled
back from the surface and thrown upon them. At this time of all others
the lungs should not be deprived of pure, fresh air. If pure air is ever
necessary, it is when any part of the system, as the lungs or stomach,
is diseased.—
Testimonies for the Church 2:530
.
736. Air is the free blessing of Heaven, calculated to electrify the
whole system.—
Testimonies for the Church 1:701
