SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. A. L. Reed

by DR.. G. A. L. Reed
TN a number of articles have
i insisted upon . well-balanced
diet as essential to long sus-
tanned health. This means that
one should eat not only starches
and sugars and meats in due pro-
portion, but that these articles
should be selected with reference
to both their caloric Qneat pro-
ducing) value and their vitamin
content. Now in America we are
much given to eating white bread,
sometimes bleached bread. The
increasing demand for such
starchy food, in latter years, may
be due to the physiological re-
quirement Of the human system
for alcohol, a certain amount of
starch being converted into alco-
hol in the process Of digestion and
assimilation. But, as compared
with whole wheat bread, white
bread Is deficient in vitamin B,
or the water-soiuble vitam1n.
A writer in New Health calls
attention to the relation Of defici-
ent Vitamin B--the water-soluble
vitamins that occur in vegetables
Ito sluggishness OF the bowel or
constipation. OF course everyone
knows that sluggishness of the
bowels is caused by many things;
failure to form good habits, i'm
proper or excessive feeding, too
little exercise, etc. What is not so
generally recognized is that it
may be due to q deficiency Of
vitamin b.
The bowel is a tube with three
layers The outermost is made of
muscle running lengthwise, the
middle is muscle in rings and the
inside lining is a thick membrane
containing the glands which Sc.
crete digestive juices and the
cells which absorb nourishment.
A large number of animals
were fed on a diet deficient in
vitamin b. Within IS weeks the
muscle layers of the bowel had
diminished to one-third of their
normal size and had lost great
stomach was flabby and enor-
AAASASIy uASLCAAASus <AAAA4At0AS WIZ
had the same diet plus a concen-
trated vitamin B preparation, how
ever, remained perfectly normal.
One Of the first signs Of illness
in animals fed on a B deficient
diet was a drop in temperature.
Then came failure to grow, then
constipation and finally paralysis.
for it is the nervous system that
the chief ill-effects Of B starva-
ton are shown.
Even when animals were not
actually constipated as a result OF
the lack, they were two days later
in getting rid of their waste prod.
ucts than animals who had enough
p. Their bodies, moreover, were
the happy hunting ground of
countless microbes from the inside
of the bowel. These are always
present in the bowel contents but
cannot pass into the tissues of a
healthy animal, but they immedi-
ately invade one starved of vi
tamin B and cause all kinds or
diseases.
The moral is: unless your diet is
rich and varied, containing enough

tables, you should see to 1t that
these elements are added to your
daily food. You have only to try
the change for day or two to
find that the difference made in
your general health is marvellous.
The poorer the ordinary diet has
been in Vitamin B the more strik-
ing is the effect.
