Diets Have An Important
Influence On'Our Health

patient uses starch and meat at
the same meal, the one may in
terfere with the other, resulting
in starch indigestion as evidenced
by fermenting of the starch and
the production of large amounts
of gas.
rVEN though the most whole
IL some food is used, so long as
it is improperly mixed with other
foods that there is a constant bat
tie going on between the different
foodstuffs in the stomach and in
testines, the body will be unable
to extract the nourishment it re-
quires, or if it does extract it, a
great deal of energy will be
wasted in the process.
The most practical plan in
working out your menus so that
the foods used will agree with
each other during the chemical
digestion taking place in the
stomach and intestines is to use
one strongly nourishing food at a
meal, in combination with other
foods not so nourishing. The two
most important kinds of foods
and those which are the most
nourishing are the proteins and
the starches and it seems ad-
Visable to use them at different
meals. An easy way to remember
it is that when you are using
meat, you are on tiger diet"
using meat as the tiger does, ex-
cept that where he eats the bones
and skin, you substitute the non
starchy vegetables, which provide
bulk and assist in the digestion of
the protein.
On the other hand when you
use starch, you are on a diet sim
liar to a Cow" diet. Those ami
mails, such as the COW, which use
the largest amount of starch,
grind up along with the starch
all of the succulent greens they
can get and when man eats
starchy food, exactly the same
kind of combination should be
used. Man is able to live on either
meat meals or starch meals. but
II seems to be one of the greatest
secrets of dietetics to know that
although man may subsist on Ell
their tigers food or cows food.
the tiger food and the COW food
should not be mixed at the same
meal.
1 REALIZE that although many
] people know they are combin-
ing their foods in the wrong way.
they do not know what to do. A
special article has been prepared
on FOOD COMBINATIONS
which will tell you all that YOU
need TO know-exactly how to

to combine starches. All the rules
