More Life In Living

side what our favorite pastime really is needing some consideration we contract the habit of eating at a very early age and we like it so well we this fellow simply lives to eat in one and only Indoor Sport every few hours he wants that snack and if he doesn't get it well he's most unhappy about the whole thing some folks say it's hard to get up before breakfast but most folks know it's a mighty good way to start the day right uh-oh a tri late there my good man and father is a bit vexed about it but all's well that ends well and what's a picnic without food but who ever heard of such a thing yes sir it's the food that makes the picnic and I wouldn't be at all Sur surprised if this delightful young lady doesn't also know that it's the way to a man's heart and banquets why our national life would be entirely disrupted without them conventions would cease clubs go out of existence High School seniors couldn't graduate politicians couldn't run for office and the local boy who made good couldn't be welcomed home and worse yet Sweet Adeline and hail hail the gangs all here would never more the welen ring perish the thought now we're s to tell you this but with all this regular eating of Three Square meals and sometimes more each day many people perhaps most people do not know the fundamentals of good diet which should be common knowledge with all of us the food chemist scientifically analyzing Foods into their nutritive elements will tell us that Health Vitality mental alertness steady nerves and even happiness in a wholesome outlook on life are all all very largely determined by the foods we eat it's surprising how many people ignore such sage and scientific advice take a Saturday off sometime and you'll have no trouble finding all the examples you need to prove the point the fat ones the lean ones the sad one the mean ones those with jittery nerves and angular curves those who who can't keep step are you in pain toothache what a shame and don't tell this to anybody but that young man just sitting down failed to make the team again this year and let's see oh yes that's the girl who wrote a letter last week to the charm and personality editor of the local newspaper like most of us these people do not know how important a proper diet is to health happiness Vitality appearance and hence personality of course for a special diet you should consult your doctor but everybody can know the important rules of food selection and thereby avoid some serious mistakes first for convenience we can group Foods into two general classes those primarily for protection and those which principally supply energy the protective foods are essential in the meals of everybody whether 6 16 or 60 they include milk and milk products vegetables fruits and eggs these Foods Supply certain protective elements that we must must have every day to maintain vitality and build body resistance to disease these so-called energy foods Supply mainly the starches fats and sugars we should have some of them every day the amount depending on the work or exercise we do but when it comes to these many of us have to be careful an excess of the energy foods is inclined to produce overweight excess weight is not only damaging to one's appearance but dangerous to one's Health the safest rule for everyone to follow is to eat enough of the protective Foods first and then whatever may be needed of the energy foods this healthy happyl looking family who have kindly let us drop in right at Meal Time have discovered another fact of all the protective Foods milk is the most important and just as necessary for Dad and mother as for the youngsters the food experts tell us every adult should have a pint or more of milk a day and every growing child at least a quart it is almost impossible to get enough of the protective elements without adequate amounts of milk milk does more for the body than any other food and does it more cheaply suppose this rectangle represents the chief daily requirements of an average individual I hope this surprises you as much as it did me one quart of milk will supply not only all the calcium and vitamin G or riboflavin that you need but generous amounts of the other vital elements as well phosphorus about 34 vitamin A 1/2 or more protein nearly 1/2 Vitamin B or thamin 1/3 or more energy 1/4 or more iron and vitamin C at least 1 16th if your body lacks these elements you will one day discover that you're a long way from being the man or woman you could have been you will recognize these as human teeth I hope a diet adequately suppli with calcium and phosphorus will help build strong teeth which resist Decay decayed teeth in turn will make you an easy Mark for several kinds of disease turn the magic X-ray on this fellow doctor that's fine thank you the proper contraction and expansion of the muscles yes that's it is another of the functions of calcium in fact this element plays such a significant part in the human body that it even helps to regulate the heart heartbeat but that's still not all bone and tooth development and the healthful maintenance of them is an important calcium requirement thank you sir you may have your skeleton back now now let's visit a modern scientific laboratory where thousands of white rats are supplied all the Comforts of home and sometimes the discomforts see they're really very interesting fellows and would make excellent Playmates if you like white rats well some folks do and some don't it seems but at any rate they have taught us a great many extremely important facts about what to eat and what happens when important elements are omitted the white rats in these two pens are the same age you'd never guess it would you well what happened the scrawny little ones were kept on a diet entirely lacking in milk their big Husky brothers and sisters were given a balanced diet which included milk and that's the secret of their success milk is just as important to the health of boys and girls and men and women as to our animal friends but apparently none of our friends here know the value of milk as a basic requirement for everyone and that is to be deplored so what do you say let's tip off the waitress and just for the fun of it have her set a glass of milk in front of each of our visitors here as a good start toward healthful living of course if you want to try to get your calcium in a different way well you might try try this meal for a sample these are good foods and have a proper place in the diet but when it comes to calcium you would have to eat all of the food shown here to equal the calcium of 1 quart of milk actually you'd have to eat three heads of lettuce the juice of five large oranges five servings of beef 10 servings of peas seven medium potatoes five eggs 20 slices of bread five bowls of cereal and five apples quite a good size meal you will admit perhaps after all you would prefer the quart of milk and besides while we are on the subject of milk we should remember it is an important source of vitamins a B and G vitamin A for positive health and vigor for normal functioning of the eyes and resistance to certain infections Vitamin B or thamin for maintenance of the appetite and to Aid digestion vitamin G or riboflavin is especially important for preserving the characteristics of Youth for health skin and eyes and for General vitality and finally since vitamin D AIDS in the utilization of calcium the scientists have provided methods for increasing this essential food element in special vitamin D
