AFTER BREAKFAST BLUES

AFTER BREAKFAST BLUES
No, sad to say, 1t isn't entirely the
abominable coffee that makes sc
many people feel so inept after
breakfast when rightly one should
have the world by the tail. In most
instances 1t is just ordinary every
day modern subnutrition. Even If
the coffee were good Chat is, I'M
boiled) the majority Of US would
still elect to worry along in a state
of subnutrition, thanks largely to
the way they are hoodwinked by the
typical American breakfast, which is
so easy to eat, so delectable, so de
gestible, energizing, fattening, but so
deficient in the elements the refined
modern diet lacks-mineral and
vitamirs. Add the usual cupful or
two of coffee, with or without cream
or milk and sugar, and even an &C.
casional couple Of eggs and a few
strips Of bacon or ham or sausage,
and still the breakfast is a humbug
meal so far as fortifying or renewing
the inner man is concerned.
Compare this conventional break
fast with the breakfast in the Re-
generation Regimen or the Correc-
tive Protective Diet which is as fol-
lows:
A>glass Of orange juice-calories,
100; vitamins, A, B, G, G, K; min
erals Ca, Phos., iron.
Two eggs-calories, 1856; Wtamins,
A, B, D, G, E; minerals, iron, sur
fur, calcium, phosphorus.
Fresh fruit-calories 80; vitamins,
G, B, A; minerals, sodium, potas-
SUM, magnesium, copper, magnese,
etc.
Glass of milk-calories, 100: vita
minis, A, B, G.; minerals, calcium,
phosphorus.
In the chat we had about wife
for Breakfast here some time ago
I suggested what I have found the
easiest way for slaves Of convention,
living customs and circumstance to
combat the evil influence Of the re-
fined breakfast, namely, by keeping
on hand peck (one-fourth bushel,
Is pounds. Of plain wheat and con-
irving to eat some of 1t every day.
Monograph wheat to Eat" tells
how-send address san dask for it,.
Or II that is still too complicated
a step for such a slave to take, then
at least you can surreptitiously pur-
chase a few pounds Of wheat germ |
and eat few tablespoons of 1t daily.
Half a pound of plain wheat daily,
or four or five tablespoonful OF
wheat germ daily, would nearly, If |
not quite, compensate, in the vitality |
vitamin B-complex, for the
main deficiency in the everyday diet.
Frankly am afraid to print what
many readers declare an increased
intake Of B-complex and D has done
for them, because it sounds like ar
rant quackery, and heaven knows I
have kept the eyebrows Of the medi-
cal profession elevated too much
AL shall say now is that
1t can do nobody any harm to try
the everyday diet
with an optimal ration of vitamin
B-complex and vitanin D-the Wit
aminS which nearly everybody lacks.
