Show y Protein for Aviators A high protein diet appears ideal for the aviator. The relatively slow breakdown of the food proteins provides a more lasting source of nourishment and serves as a sizable siza-ble source of carbohydrate, as well as the amino acids. The specific dynamic dy-namic action of proteins may be of particular value to the high altitude aviator in aiding the temperature-regulating temperature-regulating mechanism of the body o necessary at the colder temperatures tempera-tures experienced above 10,000 feet (3,000 meters). The use of the extra ex-tra heat-producing action of pjo-teins pjo-teins in maintaining body temperature tempera-ture appears to be a valuable adjunct ad-junct to the diet of the aviator. |
