circulate healthfully through the system.—

785. The chief if not the only reason why many become invalids,
is that the blood does not circulate freely, and the changes in the vital
fluid which are necessary to life and health do not take place. They
[187]
have not given their bodies exercise nor their lungs food, which is pure,
fresh air; therefore it is impossible for the blood to be vitalized, and
it pursues its course sluggishly through the system.—
Testimonies for
the Church 2:525

Water Drinking
786. Pure water to drink and fresh air to breathe invigorate the vital
organs, purify the blood, and help nature in her task of overcoming the
bad conditions of the system.—

Clothing

parts of the body must be suitably clad.—

Bathing
789. Bathing frees the skin from the accumulation of impurities
which are constantly collecting, and keeps the skin moist and supple,
thereby increasing and equalizing the circulation.—

the Church 3:70

790. A bath, properly taken, fortifies against cold, because the
circulation is improved, ... for the blood is brought to the surface, and
a more easy and regular flow of the blood through all the blood-vessels
is obtained.—
