Today. as never before, there is a
great need for the busy worker to
understand his physical makeup thor
oughly. Years OF scientific observa-
tion serves as a real guide to help
plan a dietary for each individual.
The man who does hard, laborious
work in rolling mills or foundries can
at this season of the yea still eat and
digest his pork and beans and hot
biscuits. while the chap who works In
doors, with perhaps a short walk three
times a day, would be unable to digest
this diet.
Obviously the lesson teaches us that
muscular exercise requires some pro-
tein or bodybuilding food and a fat.
1t demands abundant supply of car
bohydrates or starch and sugars rs
energy foods.
The brain worker will require a pro-
TEN or bodybuilding food. vita some
fats and little starches and sugar and
a plentiful diet of succulent greens
and fresh fruits.
A clear head Is essential for tho
brain worker. and this demands that
the blood be rich in oxygen and free In
circulation. IL should accelerats all
the cells of the body TO their maxi
mum capacity and necessitate easily
g stimulated prot Gin foods for repairs.
Lack Of fresh air and good, active
exercise frequently produces a hnicky
appetite and finally the stomach Is
overloaded with unsuitable foods,
(which in time produce various intesti-
nal disturbances and physical break
downs. When a man breaks at fifty
1t Is said application to his work Is
responsible. n never because he has
been foolish In his diet.
Food for the brain worker during
the hot season of h year should be
light and delicate. 1t should be easily
Idigested. with an abundance OF fresh
green vegetables. salads and fruits.
Habits are very powerful and TO
convince some people hat a light
breakfast, a delicate luncheon and a
good evening meal is conductive 10
good health for the normal business
person is almost a superhuman job.
Do not eat cereals during the warm
weather: they furnish heat n energy
thus cause the ~sedentary worker
to feel as though he were on fire. If
eggs agree with you, stick to the fol-
lowing menu:
Large Saucer of Fresh Fruit
Soft-Boiled Eggs
Watercress Toast Coffee
Bacon and eggs. broiled fish, grilled
ham nay ais be used for variety.
An abundance of fresh fruit furnishes
o the blood stream the purest distilled
water, which does not need to enter
the process of digestion. 1t Is thus
available for instant use. Hense, eat
ing. fresh fruits brings a sense OF
GOODNESS to the body.
Mineral salts present in the fruit
salads and watercress aid greatly In
keeping the blood in good condition.
Luncheon during the warm weather
is frequently a delusion to the busy
worker. The motely array of foods
on the menu frequently cause him
to say: "Oh, well, give me anything
sandwich and a cup of coffee will
do" This is followed by a dessert.
Try this menu:
Cream Soup
Salad
While Wheat Bread and Butter
Iced Tea or Coffc
For variety i'm cups. try asparagus,
onion, PURGE of pea, spinach
celery and clans. Salads should be
c. composed of an abundance OF lettuce
with tomatoes, string beans. celery,
deviled egg macedonia of vegetables.
Heavy protein salads, such as crab,
lobster, chicken. ham and potato.
and other meats are undesir-
Let the dessert be of a delicate
character.
This diet will prevent that heavy,
drowsy all over feeling that comes to
the brain worker after the usual noon
meal. In the evening. when returning
from work. rest a few minutes and
take a cool bath and change n
other clothing before dinner. Then
plan a menu as follows:
