WHY DO WE EAT AND DRINK?
When to Drink: In the morning, on
arising, after thoroughly cleansing
the mouth and teeth, sip slowly a
glass or two of cool water, not hot.
The "hot water in the morning fad
is another popular superstitution
which needs correction.
s. Some authority" advocates a GER
tain practice-it looks plausible on
the face Of it-and presently "every-
body is doing it," without examining
into the reasonableness of the thing.
Hot water is weakening and enervat-
ing, inside as we'll as outside. Nature
does not provide hot drinks for her
creatures, and Nature knows best.
Cold water, fresh from the hydrant
or the we'll, is refreshing and a nat
ural stimulant to the digestive organs
and the system in general. 1t is all
right and necessary to drink suff-
cient water to satisfy the demands of
L IL
against taking too much-because
there is "too much" in drinking as
we'll as in everything else; but this,
our friends-the flushing" enthusi-
asts-seem to overlook. Unless you
are under special regime for certain
diseased conditions, from six to eight
glasses of cool water per day should
be sufficient, distributed about as fol-
lows: one glass in the morning, on
arising, two between breakfast and
: lunch, two between lunch and dinner,
and one or two glasses before retir-
ing. Hunger and thirst are the only
true guides for eating and drinking.
If we lived naturally, we would not
eat or drink except when hungry or
thirsty.
DRINKING AT MEALS.
The less you drink with your meals
the better. The dryness of the food
furnishes the necessary stimulus fol-
the secretion of saliva and of gastric
and intestinal juices. An abundance
of liquid in the digestive tract, there
fore, weakens the activity of the Sc
GREETING membranes and glandulal
structures. Moreover, it dilutes the
secretions and thereby weakens thei1
digestive qualities. The juices of tn
stomach and the intestines, as we'll al
all other secretions in the body, can
not be made more effective by adding
to them large amounts of water a
meal time or any other time.
Coffee, tea, or alcoholic liquors ar
especially Objectionable before an
during meal times. The former re
tard digestion; the latter over-stimr
late temporarily the secretions Q
gastric and intestional juices, thu
creating a false appetite. The unnat
