Divers opinions exist concerning the
the quantity OF food one should eat in
the course of the day, some holding

set the pace for another. Children and
old people as we'll as those who are feeble
according to most physicians, nova days
should eat lightly, but frequently. Those
troubled with insomnia should have some
