Show Be Kind and Dont Don't Overload Stomach 7 By nr KORDEL In planning your Eat and Younger Grow program 0 o f protein high foods I have tried to keep in mind the only ln important nutritional taboos which have ha a basis in scientific scion fact 1 1 L' Never combine pro high t ins red meats poultry fish eggs cheese w with th high- high st starches rice macaroni spaghetti spa- spa ghoUl ghelli white while bread rich des sorts at the same meal And if iI for some valid reason you are arc I forced to cat more high high- starch meals than pro high tein loin then Ihen by all means take tak liberal amounts of concentrated ed cd B vitamins since the more starch you cat the more your our bod body is depleted of the B corn pe plex factors that have the pe pe- lask task of postponing the theay day ay when you ou must take lake your final farewell of youth 2 Avoid combining pure fats wit high starches in the same meal For instance bacon bacon bacon bac bac- on almost percent fat and of the wrong kind too fried potatoes cream white sugar sugar white bread and jell jelly are a rather common breakfast breakfast break break- fast menu in some homes yet nothing could be worse tion lion Its It's absolutely impossible to plan a meal that doesn't in- in Lude ude some carbohydrate drate with 6 proteins or some fat with Mis its ts carbohydrate But the thing to keep in mind is this A Ameal Ameal Ameal meal should be predominantly either protein or drate When it is predominantly nanU protein it should include include in in- clude dude only those natural a 1 starches found in vegetables fruits milk and honey or un unrefined unrefined unrefined refined raw sugar This means as one example omitting a arice arice arice rice or macaroni dish and pie with your steak substituting the carbohydrates to be found in a green salad a cooked vegetable and a fruit or custard custard custard cus cus- tard dessert LOWLY POTATO MALIGNED This is a good place to clear the lowly Jowly white while potato of the nany unfounded diet a r y crimes charged against it it Potatoes Potatoes Po Po- either either- b baked a k ked e d o 0 or r steamed teamed in the skin are a good food and do not come tinder under under un un- der the heading of the starches starch starch- cs es to be omitted from a protein protein protein pro pro- tein m aL Its It's not the potato that adds the calories but the grease its it's fried in or the gravies poured over it There arc are several ways was to stimulate your stomach cells into secreting digestive juices that are strongly acid Pleasant Pleasant Pleas Pleas- ant ways I might add ways was that hat have been largely overlooked overlooked overlooked over over- looked in our the run meals neals s STIMULATE DIGESTION J Start your meals with fruit a a cup of vegetable soup a bouillon or meat broth Why Because fresh fruits together with meat extracts or the thc bouillon made by simmering i meats and nd vegetables together er er r are arc rich in certain extrac- extrac Jive substances S When these foods reach the Stomach before a meal their substances cau s e certain groups of cells in your lower ower stomach to produce a hormone known as that passes directly into inlo the bloodstream and i is carried to all the organs including the glands lands in the upper section of the stomach Here the hormone excites the gastric glands into inlo producing and pouring forth into inlo the stomach Jarge large amounts of the the ve very y acid id idI d dI r- r 4 hydrochloric a c 1 I is absolutely essential for Tor thorough digestion of a protein meal l HOW ow TO CHEW This is a time timely spot to lo lobring bring up the subject of chew chew- ing A lot of false information and nd erroneous advice has been handed out to the tho public for foi years ears on the subject of proper prop er or mastication of ol food Once I and for all nil I would like to clear up these mistaken ideas and present the facts In brief I here is your chewing chart I I 1 All vegetables fr fruits its and ugar sugar foods should be chewed chewed thoroughly Carbohydrates Carbohydrates i drates arc digested in an alkaline alka alka- line base as Ive I've explained be be- fore ore The saliva jn your YOUl mouth is an alkali and is secreted by hy the salivary glands as IS the first step in the long and complicated complicated com corn digestion of drates Therefore if iC you OU bolt boll your carbohydrate foods you cause them to miss this preliminary pre I digestive processing t with the result that they reach read I II I the upper intestinal tract Irac where the thie processing is completed com corn inadequately prepare prepared for foj final steps 2 All protein foods meat fish lish poultry eggs and cheese require little chewing for good digestion No doubt this tomes comes as a surprise to you complete reversal sal of oC everything youve you've ever been taught a about b 0 u t mastication Meat has been conscientiously and laboriously ground Corthe for Cor forthe the person with wilh poor or no teeth while eggs have been boiled only enough to set the white for the person with a weak digestion All of wh which ch has been a serious digestive and nutritional mistake CITRUS JUICE POOR This is a good time lime to pass on to lo you ou a bit of wisdom regarding regarding regarding re re- re- re garding whole fruit versus fruit juices I deplore the custom of oC serving serving serving ing squeezed citrus juices instead instead in in- n- n stead of oC the whole fruit All fruits vegetables too are arc carbohydrates That Thai means their digestion begins in the mouth With that fact in mind vill will someone please tell me how you can chew a glass of orange juice The answer of course is that you cant The juice with its naturally high sugar content passes immediately immediately through the mouth and stomach reaching the upper intestine without an any whatsoever Colitis patients have been ad advised sed for years to eat cat only whole fruits and vegetables The fermentation gases from front incompletely digested fruit and ind vegetable juices are arc simply sim- sim ply ly that much added torture to o the already irritated intestinal intestinal inal nal tract of a colitis patient Yet these same persons can enjoy whole fruits and vegetables vege- vege tables ables without doubling up from rom the pain that is sure to attack them after afler taking laking juices es s. s What is good advice for the colitis patient is good advice for or everybody stick to lo whole fruits and vegetables rather than merely the juice Canned frozen or ho m rn e e- e squeezed orange juice may be bea a very convenient way of introducing fruit into inlo t the h c breakfast menu but its it's most assuredly not a nutritionally correct way of introducing an 4 orange into inlo your our digestive tract SERVE SMALLER MEALS l A final word on home digestive di die aids The kindest thing you rou can do for your our stomach stomachs is s not to overload it Moreover if it food gives gi you youa ou oua a real taste thrill you OU actually actual actual- ly y eat cat less are better betler nourished nour- nour shed and avoid the dangers of f overeating But when food foods is s not tasty your unsatisfied sense of taste laste drives you OU on ono onto onto to o eat more than you should of highly flavored starchy desserts and sweets in an effort efort ef- ef ort fort to satisfy a nagging hun bun ger Such craving for more and more food after youve you've already already already al al- al- al ready eaten ealen is really a taste lasle- hunger lunger rather than an actual emptiness of oC the thc stomach Your mind and your body can remain youthful many years past your called so-called prime if only you dont don't help fasten the shackles of a premature old age ago on yourself yourself your your- self every time lime you sit down at the table Eat to grow younger THE END |
