STRENGTH DUE TO EXERCISE
Easy Explanation Of Why One HAND

Member.

II you are right-handed then the
right hand IL stronger than the left
II you are left-handed the left hand
will be stronger. II you are truly
ambidextrous the strength of both
hands viii be equal.
The advantage Of one hand over
the other is due to the greater exer.
else IL may receive. All the muscles
Of our arms and legs are developed BY
exercise and their respective strength
will be In accordance with their use
That the right hand Is stronger than
the left can be proved by discontinue
ing the use Of the right arm for sew
erai weeks by tying IL to the side Of
your body.
When you release the arm 700
will ind that much Of its strength y
gone and that now the left hand ID
stronger. This applies to a right
handed person and the trick would
work the other way with a lefthand-
ed person. This goes to show that
the strength OF hands and arms 10

Of rational exercise.

quently. they have great nutritive
value. To be easily digested. they
should be beaten up 30 as to separate

When athletes are training for a con-
