Slimming can be a beauty
seven years younger-proyided
you act your age while reducing.
To be a successful swimmer,
at your various ages, you need:
From 20 to 30: Spot exercises
for symmetry, with accent on the
hips.
From 80 to 40: Rigorous diet
and vigorous exercise, to ward Oft
the middle-age spread.
From 40 to so: Calorie discrimi'
nation and waistline exercises.
From SO on: Massage and
stretching.
In other words, hang on to your
youth with exercise-and don't
overeat at any age.
Career girls need exercise. The
hipline can spread an inch and q
half in just one year, but dieting
is not the cure for. a Sedentary
job. Your best bet is to make a
hobby of outdoor recreation. Sec
cnd best is to keep good looking
at a gymnasium, or do daily
dozen. All three won't hurt you.
AS to diet, watch the carbohy-
drates and eat carrots instead OF
candy.
It is between 80 and 40 that
you are most likely to break all
rules of diet and go the way of
avoirdupois. Your life revolveS
around food; and menu-making,
recipe collecting and entertaining
result in a mass production Of
calorieS.
Cooking for a perpetually hun
CRY family is no inducement to
keeping slim. Tasting leads to
wasting, so be careful in sampling
your cooking, and beware of the
dessert. It takes courage to sub
stitute fresh fruit for the cherry
pie you have baked for the family
but that's the way to keep slim.
From 40 to SO, activity decreases,
but if you like food, appetite usu-
ally increases. Every occasion is
a dietetic depression, and the &C
emulation Of pounds can be
steady. From 40 on you can evade
overweight only by avoiding over.
eating.
The best way to keep your
figure youthful is to hold your
waistline down to normal, which
means a waist at least 7 inches
less than the bust circumference.
Stretching and twisting exercises
give you a divine waistline at any
age.
The only way to have a young
face is to keep it happy and free
from wrinkles Laughter lines are
pleasing, but wrinkles are signs of
neglect. Exercise chaSes wrinkles
by stimulating circulation.
The daily dozen will keep you
young, and brushing the hair serves
as an excellent facial. Dry skins,
more susceptible to wrinkles, call
for plenty of cream. Since most
Of us have dry skins which get
drier as time goes on, we need
more and more cream.
