I , i i ,, , j Living Longer Skim Milk for Extra Protein By LELORD KORDEL Number Six of a Series Milk, in a new form, has joined the ranks of concentrated protective foods. I refer to dry skim milk-an inexpensive, inex-pensive, readily digested, high-protein high-protein food. A hard to believe fact is that the highly-concentrated protein, calcium and riboflavin in dry skim milk can help prolong your "prime of life." and aid you in retaining youthfulness. The addition of even so little as a tablespoonful of powdered skim milk to daily servings of food would be a worthwhile contribution to your Live Longer program. Less than one-half cup of powdered skim milk contains all the nutrients found in a quart of fresh skim milk. There is a popularly held belief that "richer milk is better milk." Nothing could be farther from the truth. The protein, minerals and riboflavin ribofla-vin are all contained in the skim milk, not in the cream. An analysis of skim milk powder shows it to be approximately 8 percent per-cent minerals. This is a remarkably high concentration-since most foods contain lese than 1 percent of these important cell nutrients.' If you want to gain weight, dry skim milk, used liberally, will provide extra amounts of the protein, minerals and vitamins. It was the lack of these w hich may have caused your underweight under-weight in the first place. . WEIGHT CONTROL If overweight is your problem, and yours should be a reducing diet, dry skim milk is equally good. Liberal amounts can be used without making your calorie count jump up like the thermometer on a hot day. Moreover, the highly concentrated protein in skim milk is a valuable aid to a high-protein reducing diet. Keep in mind: the more protein you eat without adding calories, the more quickly your sluggish thyroid gland can be prodded into taking over. This is important in bringing body weight back to normal. Right now powdered skim milk is the biggest food bargain of all. You can slice your milk bill considerably with powdered skim milk. As well as supplementing your diet with the valuable proteins and vitamins and minerals found in this wonderful food. If you wish to economize and simplify sim-plify your marketing, you may omit buying fresh milk altogheter. Just stock your cupboard with the inexpensive, inex-pensive, long-keeping skim milk powder. It can be made into liquid milk with a few flips of the eggbeater or wire whisk-by merely adding it to cold water. And best of all this reconstructed liquid milk-dhat you yourself make from skim milk powder)--can be diluted di-luted or as "rich" as you wish. So concentrated in this fine f"'-"J that it contains eleven times more high-grade protein, minerals. IB- vitamins and lactose than fresh whole milk. This means that eleven pounds of fresh liquid milk are used to prepare one pound of dry skim milk. Powdered skim milk is 36.5 percent protein, as compared to 19.7 percent protein found in an equal weight of lean beef. LOW COST PROTEIN Where else could you get so much concentrated pure protein at so low a cost? If you want an extra-juicy, extra-plump, extra-plump, and extra-rich broiled hamburger ham-burger soon, just add a couple of tablespoons tab-lespoons of skim milk powder to the mixture. D;y skim milk is also a particularly rich source of the youth-producing B-complex B-complex vitamins-and in natural balance. ba-lance. Skim milk is rich in lactose, a "youth-promoter" which provides a quick, readily usable source of energy. ener-gy. Lspecially for older bodies that need every iota of energy they can muster to counteract a slowing down of nervous system and vital organs. Like other high-protein foods, milk contains factors of great importance to the human organis of reproduction. We know that protein exerts an important im-portant influence on the continued youthfulness of the sex glands in men and women alike. A British scientist advocated not long ago that all married couples, whatever their ages, should look to their diets, if they w ished to achieve a congenial marital partnership. The quarrelsome mate is quite likely to be one whose nerves are started for protein. pro-tein. MARITAL HARMONY This thought-provoking fact is brought before you at this point because be-cause it has long been my belief thai -the lopsided, artifical, woefully devitalized devit-alized diets of a great majority of families fami-lies create the real causes underlying so much unhappy married life. The love and harmony of marriage are severely strained by "on-edge" nerves-often caused by poor nutrition. nutri-tion. Certainly 1 don't want to give the impression that powdered skim milk is going to cure all the ills of your marriage. But. I do want you to consider the logic of safeguarding personal happiness happi-ness by making certain that your nervous ner-vous system is well fortified by protective pro-tective foods. This can help you retain youthfulness a lot longer. Is there a real need for dried skim milk? With more than half of the people peo-ple losing their youth before they are forty, I should say there is. Distributed hy Specially Features Syndicate. All Rights Reserved.
