| Show WHAT U u rr TO CAT EAT AND akin ea M PROTEINS the foods that you cannot live without eminent food authority explains why no protein means no life describes the kind and amount required for the best growth in children good resistance vigor and endurance in adults by C HOUSTON GOUDISS 6 east st new york is and always has been the central problem of life F FOOD but only in recent years has its true power been revealed as a result of scientific investigation fortunately we ice now knote what constitutes sound nutrition and it is possible for every homemaker to plan meals that will enable her family to eat cat their way to health topping the list of food essentials senti als are the proteins the 4 dutch chemist mulder who hit upon this name made a wise jinice ji oice for it means to take first place and certainly the proteins are first in importance for they are the stuff of which our bodies are built without them there would be no life every man woman and child has a fundamental need for protein because it is an essential component of every living cell and makes up a large par part t of the solids of a muscle cell evidently a great many of the glandular principles and substances which control the functions of the body are also protein in character protein is the only food element that contains nitrogen and next to water nitrogen is the chief constituent of the human body protein builds bodies A new born baby weighs on an average from 7 to 7 pounds and the adult into which it grows may weigh 20 to 30 times as much the vast amount of tissue necessary es to construct a man is built chiefly from protein once the adult body is built however protein is not required for the growth of new tissues except under certain conditions such as during pregnancy when one is is recovering from a wasting illness or when an athlete is in training and the muscles are increasing in in size size keeps the body in repair there is ho boweter weter a maintenance requirement qui rement for protein dichich continues throughout life and dichich applies to 1 both children and adults for the body bod may be compared to a machine on chich it is necessary to make allowance for the wear and tear of parts protein Ir olein is the llie only substance that still rebuild the millions of cells nelch each day ceabe to fun function clion thus we see that protein performs two vital services first it builds now new tissues second it repairs worn out tissues protein is found in many different foods but unfortunately not all proteins are equally valuable proteins vary in value it is absolutely essential that the homemaker charged with the responsibility of feeding a family should be able to distinguish between those types of protein which are arc adequate for or both growth and repair and those that are only useful for maintenance for if the diet does docs not contain an adequate amount or the right kind of protein our bodies will be badly built and they will be improperly repaired and cannot wear well if you were building a house you would consider nothing less than the finest materials you would know that cheap lumber and poorly made bricks could not produce a lasting building in the same way you must learn to discriminate between the various types of protein used for the supremely important purpose of building your childrens bodies or keeping adult physiques phy in perfect repair some foods cost more than others and you should not be guilty of spending hard earned money for expensive protein foods when the same amount of nourishment could be more economically obtained from an inexpensive source where to find protein proteins are found in many different foods but unfortunately only a limited number of foods supply proteins containing all the amino acids necessary for both growth and repair proteins that will build new tissue as well as replace worn out cells are known as complete proteins in this class we have meats fish cheese milk eggs and some nuts how aluch protein the protein requirement varies according to size age and the kind of protein f foods consumed to allou allom for growth children require twice as much protein per pound of body weight us as adults that is to say an adult requires daily one thirtieth ol of an ounce for each pound of body wei weigh glit t but a child needs one fifteenth of an ounce for each pound of body weight the amount of protein food should usually constitute from 10 to 15 per cent of all the calories taken if this plan is faithfully followed there will be more than enough to take care of every requirement qui rement because experiments indicate that a man who weighs pounds or grams needs a minimum of 44 grams of protein every day eskimos eat two or three times as much protein as most dwellers in the temperate zone but that is because other foods are scarce in the tropics on the other hand ban the consumption of protein is often not more than half that of the temperate zone in planning the family dietary a safe rule to keep in mind is to include in the daily diet a quart of milk for every child a pint for each adult one egg one serving of meat fish or chicken one serving ing of another protein food such a as cheese dried peas or beans or a main dish made with nuts you can achieve wide variety and still provide an adequate protein ration within the limits of this rule for milk may be served as a beverage in soups puddings and as cream sauce eggs may likewise be varied in their method of preparation or concealed in other foods there are many fine meats and the number of ways in which fresh canned frozen or dried fish can be served is legion both cheese and nuts make inake sandwiches salads and desserts as well as main course dishes peas beans and lentils can appear I 1 as soup mock roast or croquettes croquet tes grain products which include cereals macaroni and bread may appear in any course in the meal in planning kenui always keep before ou the ideal that an adequate amount of first class protein makes a first class man whereas an inadequate mount amount may lead to stunted growth functional nervous diseases lessened efficiency and the earlier approach of old age in choosing proteins to feed your family remember that they take first place among foods and that upon their wise choice rests your future welfare your destiny your life ID
