Varieties Of Food.
Foods are divided chemically into
two grear classes, nitrogenous and

examples. Some vegetables and grains
also contain proteids, especially peas,
beans, wheat, rye, corn, etc.
The non-nitrogenous elements are
divided into fats, carbohydrates (sug-
aEs and starches) and salts.
In other words, we must find In
food the same elements that enter
into the composition Of the body.
The folly of trying to live on any
one particular kind of food will be ap-
parent to any n who familiarizes
himself with the constitution of the
bedy and It's needs, The proteids are
required for building material and en-
ergy, the carbohydrates and fats for
storage and energy and the salts and
mineral elements for bniiding pur-
poses and to assist In the chemical
processes and exchanges going on In
the body.
What 10 Digsstion7 J
Digestion Is the process Of trans
forming food elements into substances
that can be absorbed into the blood
through the walls Of the digestive
tract. IL the digestive functions are
paralyzed food taken into the stomach
acts simply as a foreign body and
causes irritation and finally, by its de-
composition, poisoning.
The digestive processes are carried
on by substances whose exact form
and constitution are unknown, termed
engines, or ferments.
But digestion does not begin In the
stomach. The saliva contains a very
important engine. ptyalin, which con-
verts starch into malt sugar. The Inn
portance OF thoroughly chewing all
starch foods. such as cereals, yegeta-
bles. bread. pastry, potatoes, etc. will
at once be apparent.
Counting yeuf chews," however, Is
not advised. The act Of chewing
should be natural and subconscious.
II the attention Is directed too closely
10 the mechanical act OF chewing or,
in fact. If the mind dwells too fntentiy
on the subject Of digestion the normal
functions are retarded. Count your
chews some time and note Ii your
jaws do mot ache by the time you

limbs do not quickly tire.
