That's the roundup of vitamins.
Now, how about minerals?
You've probably heard that you
need calcium to build good bones
and teeth, but did 1914
you know that S.u,
you need it to \. r3@
help your blood >e1sH y
to clot when you .A4\0NM
have wound An4M@ NSA
and that you need y "
it also to regulate
your muscle contraction? No food
keeps people from getting old in
definitely but if you've good calcium
deposits, you'll at least postpone old
age for awhile, Milk and green
vegetables burst with calcium so use
them every day. Don't forget the
salads: carrots, cabbage, and eel
cry aren't too expensive in winter
and they're calcium-rich.
Phosphorus works together with
calcium in building bones and
nerves. Milk, cereals, meat, cheese,
eggs, nuts-all these have a good
phosphorus content
Irons marvellous pep-you-upper.
Not only does it guard against lag
ging energy but also digestive dis
turbances and general irritability.
Iron goes to work and makes red,
red blood cells that are just about
the hardest working cells you'll ever
find. The red blood cell shuttles
between your lungs and your 1000
mile-long circulatory system drop
ping off the oxygen and carrying
out the carbon dioxide.
You need lots of iron so don't miss
day on iron foods. That means
you'll be eating plenty of liver, mo-
lasses, oatmeal, dried apricots,
eggs, whole wheat, lean beef, cab
bage, oysters and raisins from now
on.
Iron by itself is apt to be a bit
lazy. 1t needs copper to make it
get to work, so be sure to have
prunes often, whole-grain cereals,
oatmeal, dried fruits, liver and oy-
sters at some one of your three
meals.
Iodine spells power. 1t is released
to your system by the thyroid gland
which is near the Adams apple.
Sluggishness, mental and physical,
are the result of lack of iodine or thy
roid deficiency.
Seafood contains iodine as well
as garden vegetables. Salt has been
iodized to help out general defcien-
cy, and cranberries if raised in low
lying lands near the sea are popu-
lar source of iodine.
Magnesium balances calcium, and
as you're getting your milk you'll
be getting magnesium, too. Other
sources are green leafy vegetables.
That's the lineup. You'll notice
that many foods contain both or sew
eral kinds of essential minerals and
vitamins. Of course that should
make the job you have to do easier.
