MH 271.1
Draft source version
The knowledge that man is to be a temple for God, a habitation for the revealing of His glory, should be the highest incentive to the care and development of our physical powers. Fearfully and wonderfully has the Creator wrought in the human frame, and He bids us make it our study, understand its needs, and act our part in preserving it from harm and defilement.
The human body as a temple of God provides the highest incentive for physical care and study. The paragraph frames physical care primarily around theological duties and divine habitation rather than clinical mechanisms.

MH 271.2
Draft source version
In order to have good health, we must have good blood; for the blood is the current of life. It repairs waste and nourishes the body. When supplied with the proper food elements and when cleansed and vitalized by contact with pure air, it carries life and vigor to every part of the system. The more perfect the circulation, the better will this work be accomplished.
Good health requires good blood nourished by proper food elements and vitalized by pure air. It combines general health instruction with physiological statements about blood circulation and oxygenation.

MH 271.3
Draft source version
At every pulsation of the heart the blood should make its way quickly and easily to all parts of the body. Its circulation should not be hindered by tight clothing or bands, or by insufficient clothing of the extremities. Whatever hinders the circulation forces the blood back to the vital organs, producing congestion. Headache, cough, palpitation of the heart, or indigestion is often the result.
Unrestricted blood circulation prevents congestion and associated symptoms like headache or indigestion. The text asserts specific physiological and pathological consequences resulting from clothing restrictions on circulation.
