A — Air
Pure, fresh air is one of Heaven's most precious blessings. Deep breathing purifies the blood, calms the nerves, and invigorates the entire system. God Himself breathed the breath of life into man.

Spirit of Prophecy
“In order to have good blood, we must breathe well. Full, deep inspirations of pure air which fill the lungs with oxygen, purify the blood. They impart to it a bright color, and send it, a life-giving current, to every part of the body. A good respiration soothes the nerves; it stimulates the appetite and renders digestion more perfect; and it induces sound, refreshing sleep.”
