1. The most important element the body needs for health is Air(oxygen). Without oxygen you will quickly die. It is important to oxygenate every part of your body with your breathing. Oxygen enters your blood through your lungs and gets carried throughout the body.

Breath exercise:
Inhale through the nose for 10 counts - stand straight expand the rib cage
Hold 10 counts, and
Exhale through the mouth 10 counts.

Do this 10 times and notice your energy level come up. You can do this any time: in the morning, before exercising, on the elevator, while you're on hold on the phone, at a stop light, during a break or any time you need an exergy boost. Your body might not be accustomed to all that oxygen so start with 4 counts and build up to 10. Breathing deep also helps manage stress - important for health. Stress burns up valuable vitamins & minerals.
