FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The Food You Eat Greatly
Affects Your Appearance
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER
Nutritionist for the State Board
of Health.

Overweight is not associated al
ways with good health, but may be
a definite symptom of disease. Over
weight is often found along with
diabetes, heart disease. kidney dis
orders, high blood pressure. and gall
bladder conditions. The overweight
person is severely handicapped in
pneumonia or in many surgical oper-
ations. Life insurance companies
have been increasingly reluctant to
insure middle-aged people who are
overweight because they know that
these people usually die much young
er than people of normal weight.
No person can gain in flesh unless
the caloric energy supplied in his
food is greater than the caloric en-
crgy which he is using in his daily
activities. However. it is true that
the amount of energy which one per-
son uses daily may vary greatly from
the amount which another person
uses. The type of work which a per-
son does affects the amount of en-
ergy which he burns. A woodsman
chopping trees all day would need
much more food to supply calories
IMAM hAD WAAC WDO Dlcls6 dl anu
sews. Likewise. tall. big-boned per-
son would require more calories to
climb the same flight of stairs than
would tiny person.
Glandular secretions greatly affect
the amount Of energy required. A
higher glandular secretion than nor
NAL may cause a wasteful burning of
energy leaving the person emaciated.
Likewise. too little secretion may
cause a more efficient use of energy
so that few calories are needed for
daily activities and there is a large
surplus to be deposited as fat There
are many preparations on the mar
ket which contain these glandular
extracts and which are advertised as
a cure for overweight No one should
take these without the close super
vision of a qualified physician since
any quantity of them may actually
cause severe illness.
Any strenuous and prolonged effort
to lose weight by dieting should be
under a physicians direction. A
thorough physical examination will
help him to discover if there are any
indications for glandular administra-
tion or IL there is any tendency to
such a disease as tuberculosis which
may be aggravated by a sudden loss
in weight.
person on reducing diet is like
4 man with a family to support and
little money with which to do it.
Everything which he buys must be
what is needed if he is to take good
care of his family.
In the same way a person with a
limited amount of food must be
doubly sure that that food is of the
best quality. Much ill health is un-
doubtedly due to foolish efforts to
diet.
Plenty of green vegetables, fresh
fruits, milk. eggs and meat are the
best possible insurance against any
i'll effects of reducing diet. These
can be combined to make three at
tractive and substantial meals each
day so that person on such a diet
feels no actual discomfort except the
need for controlling excessive appe-
lite.

I'm not always patient. Mrs.
