They may say instead, My whole family is fat and inherited it I really have an appetite like a bird. A bird is right An ostrich. Or a vulture! One reason for this sorry state of weighty-affair- s is the combination of soft living and recipes handed down to us from an era when living conditions were more strenous. 1 fj n Attractive Smile Depends On Sound Nutrition Unlike the rest of the body, the mouth and teeth, in part, are affected in two ways by what we, eat. First, they are affected internally by the nutritional components of food, vitamins, minerals and proteins necessary to maintain healthy body tissues. Secondly, the oral structures are affected directly by the types of food we eat. The two greatest dental diseases, caries (tooth decay) and periodontal disease (gum breakdown), are influenced by the con-- . content foods sumption of such as soft drinks, cake, candy, gum, syrups and caramels. The diet has detrimental effects not only on the teeth and gums but also on the figure! high-sug- ar high-sug- PATIENTS WHO have undergone extensive dental care (with crowns and nonremovable bridges) are strongly advised to avoid sugar-ric- h food, as internal diet can affect the supporting tissues around the teeth. When patients have lost natural teeth and have had them replaced with nonremovable bridges, it is important that the supporting bone stay healthy. The consumption of foods containing lead, aluminum and cadmium may contribute to bone loss. ALVEOLAR BONE (which sup- ports the teeth) functions as a source for calcium and other minerals necessary for important body functions. When teeth are lost, the stimulus to maintain alveolar bone is lost, resulting in atrophy of bone in that area. PEARLY WHITES THAT SHINE PRESERVING the natural teeth in order to preserye alveolar bone is vital for the maintenance of future body health. The early replacement of missing teeth with accurately-fittinbridges is one of the most important forms of tic' care performed as a preventative Beauty today g, no tors.

For women who have been diagnosed as anemic, it is important to support the diet with adequate amounts of folic acid and iron, zinc, vitamin protein.

I -- DIABETICS MUST, and everyone should include fiber foods and zinc vitamins in their diet and to maintain a sound nutrition program. Dental decay has been noted to increase when a diet is deficient in zinc, ascorbic acid and bioflavonoids.

FIGURE OF YOUTH Many of us feel a little pang of envy when we see a person past 40 with the figure and texture of youth. The figure and texture of youth-t- his brings to mind the image of a slender. supple, energetic person. Alas, too seldom seen today. Slenderness is a must if one would look young. We must be slender if we are to feel young. j Doctors and insurance companies agree that all things being equal, longevity and slenderness are inseparable. , Why is it. then, that with the best w ill in the world-wi- th a string of envy of us turn corpulent mixed after the first flush of adolescence? A paramount reason for this sorry state of affairs is a combination f soft living and the recipes that have been handed down to us. Recipes intended for a different time. For rougher circumstances. ; any I We do not chop our wood to build a fire as did our forefathers. Today we push a button. We do not pump water from the well. We turn a faucet. We do not walk miles to find food. We point a finger at a menu. LIFES TOO EASY other words, we are living an easier life. Because of this, we need a In kit less food than our ancestors did. To complete this vicious circle, we consume great quantities of refined, foods, Morning, noon and night. With coffee breaks and late evening snacks.

Those fish may lead to healthier hearts! At least some experimental research indicates that ingestion of oils from marine animals reduces the risk of atherosclerotic heart disease. LETS TAKE the case of some German researchers at the Cardiovascular Research Center in East Berlin. For a period of two weeks 15 healthy volunteers had to eat two cans daily of either mackerel or herring (in tomato pulp). The two daily diets were comparable in all other respects. At the end of the two week period the mackerel eaters had significant drops in their blood levels of cholesterol and trioglycerides and in blood pressure. The herring diet caused little. if any, beneficial changes. IF THIS sounds a little fishy, its still interesting because other experi A good food, like a trusted assisthe path of life.

Another report from Metabolism, Oct. 1982 quotes a professor of medicine in Oregon who indicated that shrimp and certain other shellfish' did not show increases in cholesterol in the diets of subjects in his experiments.
