Heavy Breakfast
Is Found Healthy

A substantial breakfast, followed
by light lunch is the healthiest
order for those engaged in sedentary
occupations. That is the overwhelm-
ing conclusion reached in a survey
conducted by the Medical Review of
Reviews among leading physicians
of the country.
The survey was designed to ascer-
tain whether 1t is preferable to start
the day with a substantial meal of
fruit, cereal. bacon. eggs, toast and
beverage, or to proceed on the mo
breakfast or '.cup Of coffee and slice
of toast" plan. The first plan pre-
supposes light MONDAY lunch to
follow, the second hearty midday
appetite.
Seventy three per cent of the ply
sicians questioned favored starting
the day with substantial meal, 13
per cent light one, and IA per cent
gave inconcIusive answers.
A heavy breakfast provides the
body with fuel for the day, while a
light lunch leaves the brain active
and alert for the afternoons work,
many physicians said. Eleven ply
sicians said they are hearty break
fast" men because the digestive ap-
paratus, after nights rest is pre-
pared, while the system needs fuel
to overcome the inertia which pre-
cedes the days activities.
Several physicians declared their
belief that no hard and fast rule can
be made, stating the solution de-
pends entirely on the individual. Bed
time governed the reply of one med
I-ical man who said those who retire
at 10 o'clock or before should have a
regular breakfast and those who re-
tire at midnight or later a light
breakfast.
Some doctors advocated heavy
midday meal, with light breakfasts
and suppers.
+ Americans are letting taste gov
ern their selection of food, to the de-
triment of their health, one physi-
clan said. Another declared that
instinct, with little intelligence,
should guide and will guide correct
ly if not perverted by dissipation. If
perverted instincts rule the choice
and quantity of food go at once to a
doctor. cemetery. or peniten-
tiary," he said.
