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

Effective treatment of any under
weight person must take into account
the causes contributing to that un-
derweight. Good food, removal OF
Infections, and the establishing OF
good health habits are all import
ant i'm the treatment of underweight.
Food is certainly one of the most
important factors in reaching and
maintaining the desired weight. Il
takes energy in the form of calOries
TO form new body tissue. The food
taken in must supply an excess of
calOries over the amount used to
furnish energy for activity if there
is to be any material left to build
new body tissue. Good quality food
is just as necessary as high calOries.
Many of US know people who have
been able to gain weight. not by eat
ing more fattening foods but by sup
plying extra vitamins in such forms
as cod-liver oil. yeast. or vitamin
| capsules. The obvious explanation
for this is that these people were on
q diet high enough In calories TO give
the necessary surplus but low in Wit
amiuS.
One of the first signs of vitamin
or mineral deficiency in growing ami
mails is the slowing of growth and
failure to gain weight. This is
equally true in children on a diet
high in energy but lacking i'm the
necessary yitanins or minerals. The
child may then become thin and un-
derweight in spite of eating large
quantities of rich foods.
We often hear that milk is fatten-
ing. This is not strictly true. How
ever, the average Delaware diet is apt
to be low in calcium which is abund-
antly contained in milk. The addi-
ton of milk to diet already contain
ing a surplus of calOries but low in
the needed calcium will often cause
marked increase in weight.
An examination by your physician
is very essential in any well planned
program to gain weight. He will
want TO determine if any chronic in
fectiOns such as diseased teeth. ton
sils. or sinusitis are present and are
a contributing cause to the under
weight. Certain glandular conditions
may cause the body to burn abnor-
iHdits TAI ~ vi anu
il any of these conditions should be
present. they call for a physicians
close supervision.
The establishing of good health
habits is also essential in correcting
underweight. Every effort should be
made TO avoid over-fatigue. poor pos
ture, hurried meals, and late hours.
Any one Of these may. completely
nullify the effects of an otherwise
good regime.
Any consideration of underweight
must take into account the character
iHtic body structure. Small bones
may be well covered with fat at
much lower weight than large
bones.
Any slight variation from average
weight may be overlooked in
healthy individual who is eating the
right kind of food. has a high resist J
ance to infections. and who is prac- /
ticing good health habits. However. I
il a person is extremely thin, irri- ,
table aud with n low resistance TO .
cOlds and other infections. no effort .
should he spared TO give him that /
invaluable heritage OF buoyant
health.
