Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN-

Omit from your daily diet any one of number
~ of substances that you may think inconse-
quential and your life may be profoundly disordered
as result Add certain appropriate foods, even
though the diet otherwise may to be entirely
satisfactory and your life may be greatly improved.
This important fact brought out recently
when Dr. James S. McLeSter, in his presidential adj
dress before the American Medical Association,
propheSied that mans place in future history will
depend in no small degree the food he eats.
improvement of man and of animals has already
been established possible by improvement of the
diet.
For instance, the children of immigrants to the
United States are of a finer stock physically than
are their ancestors Chinese living under improved
food conditions in Hawaii grow larger than people
of the same racial strain in China.
IRON Japan comes the report that when groups
Il of children n Toxic were given milk as supple
ment to their diets there observed not only an
increase in their weight and height, but the chill
dren more cheerful and happy and turned in
better records than those who did not receive the
additional milk.
DR.. McLester emphasized particularly the impor-
lance of educating people properly in the subject Of
diet. Much of our malnutrition from
enlightened selection of foods made by mothers who
have to restrict the budget for food too greatly.
1T is unfortunate" says DR.. McLester, that many
Of the cheaper foods such the potato which carry
the greatest number of calores and have the highest
safety value, fall far short of providing in sufficient
quantities such essential food factors as vitamns,
minerals and good protens
Vitamins and minerals can be obtained in abund-
in fruits and vegetables, while protens of high
biologic value are found in meats eggs and milk;
but these are all among the more costly foods"
IT is important therefore, in selecting foods to be
certain that you do not paw more for foods Of
lesser food value.
Most of our diets are still determined by the
habits Of ancestors. If the food habits of any
group of people are faulty because of preudices. a
gradual deterioration of that group of people will
occur.
1t is not possible, however to select suitable
diet on the basis of prejudces 1t must be selected
