Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest i:

You need a sufficient amount Of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach if
1t Is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat a suftlc-
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and 1t must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do 1t,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to. do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol d.
gest the food.
