Dietary Needs Of AGED
Should Be Considered :

is any one principle in the treat.
mcnt of the aged, it is that sudden
changes are bad for them.
Protein, which is most easily
obtained in animal foods-meat,
milk and eggs-is necessary for
elderly people at the same ratio
as for others: about ! gram per
kilo of body weight, which would

weight, 1/G pound per day. The
idea that protein adds to the dis
comfort of arthritis, chronic rheu-
matism or increases the hazards
OF heart disease, high blood pres

has long been outmodcd.
Fat, on the other hand, is likely
TO be harmful in the diseases just
mentioned and if there is any one
particular part of the old-age
dietary which should be cut down,
it is in the department of fat.
Dietary Suggestions
The following dietary sugges-
Ncrs for the old have just been
published by the American Medi-
cal Associations:
Elderly people should start the
day with a good breakfast. 1t
should include some substantial
protein, and whatever else de-
ponds on body weight and activity.
Elderly people should eat fat
sparingly, even as the middle-aged
should use it cautiously.
Tea and coffee are useful slim
ulants.
Food and water (hok drink
taken ut regular intervals revive
the old. Food is the best sleep pro-
ducer even though early wakeful-
ness follows.
Hunger lessons as age ad-
vanccs. Condiments, broth and
rclishes have n definite place.
