There are other factors than food that govern
the weight. The amount of exercise. the activity
of the ductless glands-those mysterious glands
that have so much to do with the health OF the
body-the quantity Of oxygen in the blood--all
these have to do with ones weight
A quiet and placid person Is far more likely
TO take on flesh than an active person Many
thin persons are nervous, their feet and hands
are never still, they fidget and fuss. They are
perfect examples of perpetual motion.
Fat producing foods are also energy-produc-
ing foods. BY taking starchy foods. sugar to
excess. and fat foods, we add to the body fat.
