The blood vessels are apparently sensitive to fats and the entire cardiovascular system responds to their presence by maintaining greater tension. Fifth, the diet must be such as to reduce the weight if it is above ideal. Apples have been found by Dr. B.S. Levin to have a beneficial effect on the blood pressure. Eat only one apple for supper. Careful attention to proper clothing of the extremities is essential to calm the autonomic nervous system and to equalize the circulation.
Cool skin causes an alarm reaction in the autonomic nerves.
Chilled tissues cause the blood to shunt from the extremities to the interior of the body where vital organs are congested and their function is made less efficient. Keep all skin warm except during active sweating for cooling. Check especially the hands and feet, the backs of the arms, and the sides of the thighs. Wear only clothing loose enough to move up and down freely. Adaptation to messages from the skin signaling chilling takes a large tax from nerve energy resources.
