Show nf M YOUR HEALTH BY DR. R. H. BISHOP. By DR. R, H. BISHOP. Why is It, that constant, persistent I exercise often proves futile In reduc- I ing fat people? It Is because such cx- r I orclse serves to Increase their appe- H tites and to make them eat all the-more. the-more. ' al Cat man, of course, requires less I fuel in proportion to his wrlght than an or. Unary man The fat on his body 1 j represents dead weight. The actual ! 'amount of muscle that he lias may be I no more and oftentimes Is less than that of anuther man who does not I weigh as much. I" BxsrolSS becomes less and less a 1 habit with men as they grow older f but (he habit of eating abundantly is not dulled in proportion. j H They keep up the eating habits H formed In more active years, with I jtho result that they steadily take f Into their ie.iit..s more fuel than the bodies can burn up and the. gradual- I lv increase in weight. Too much fat often lays the foun- liH Idatlon for troubles with heart and (kidneys and fat men are often predls- lapsed (o gout. It is far more dlf- NsssH flcul( to reduce after tho fat is on raH the bodv than to keep tho weight at LaH a normal figure by consistent ef- il forts to lower the food Intake. iafl Foods very high In fuel value L such as fats and dishes containing hsbbsb! fat In large quantities should be re- $Ls! Iliglously avoided. Bulky foods of low F iH food value should be substituted to ' satisfy the eager appotite. i Clear soups should take the place ' of cream soups, butter and cream -'H must Be almost eliminated. Sugar "uglit to be used very sparingly and 'jSsaefl candy avoided. Green '-etnbles of all kinds, raw or plainly cooked, as cabboge celery. -lettuce, spinach, asparagus, caull- flower, can be eaten freely. r; tsfl Bread, cereals, potatoes, and such f starchy foods should be taken in f small quantities and can often be l omitted. t. Preen fruits should frequently be substituted for puddings, cakes: and tfH pies. Lean meats cooked simply ma i be used freely If green vegetables j HJ are also included. HJ |
