Maybe you've -one through one of the per
iods of reducing, working and worrying to
keep on ncarinc a size 15—or a lar^o 14.
a11 sorts of persons have set themselves
up as authorities advisiny different
systems of dietin'- to reduce and nest of
then arc supposed tc rive miraculous
results "ith a minimum of self-sacrifice.
Books, articles in magazines and news
papers, radio folks have all helped to
make the .American v/onan definitely eiyht
ccnscious. There is a lot of bad in it
but there's lots cf good, too. So
YOU aLL kNOV TKaT excessive overweight or
underweight is undesirable fron the stand
point of personal appearance out did you
know that physicians recoynizc cverwei ht
as dan; ;erous fren the standpoint of health
and they know that underwoi ht nay be a
si<jn of inadequate nutrition.
Insurance companies have compiled sone
fit7ures s..owin' rvera :c weights for per
sons of different heights at different
<Vuos. They say thr t you any vary as much
as 5,} an,' still be considered normal; but
they also have proved that it is desirable
below the aye of 35 to be a bit above
average weiyht and if you arc older than
55, it is safer to be bclor average by a
few pounds. The d i s ad van t ay e s cf over
rei.yht increase v.ith aye. a weight ten
to fifteen percent above avernye at the
aye of 45 is worth seein- a physician
about. AitC a person 15 to 20 percent
underweight at any age may not be getting
an adequate diet, which tends tc make the
body more susceptible to disease.
In the case of evorvoight, it may be the
first symptom of imnodorato eating or not
enough excricsc. In the first instance,
the doctor can help you or if you arc too
heavy because of ovcr-catin: and lack of
exercise, he can advise you as tc n health
routine or suggost a change in diet.
All diets should contain adequate proteins,
which ouild tissue and muscle and strength;
minerals, which ere bone builders and aid
in digestion; carbohydrates, which produce
energy and body heat; vitamins for health;
and water. The easiest way to make sure
of a well-balance diet is to eat a variety
of foods. Whether you are trying to reduce
or gain, it *s important that your food
include milk, green vegetables, eggs and
fruit, hake sure you have plenty of these
then you may vary your meals from then on.
If you rant to lose weight cut down on
foods that supply a lot of energy—sweets,
fats and starches, Or.it candy, jars and
jellies and cat fruit for dessert instead c:
cake and pastries, Reduce your ere ax. and
butter tc a minimum but DOH'T onit then
entirely a.s they arc an invaluable source
cf Vi tarsin A.
Drink skin r.ilk, cat lean neats instead of
these with fat, avoid hot breads because
they tempt you to use lots of butter, cat
your cereal with milk instead of cream.
Don't cat your vegetables crearned. Eat
lets of bulky vcyota.blcs, which will fill
you out not fatten you.
If you rant to pain weipht, just turn the
tables.
But in any case remember there is no royal
road to reducing. The sane way in r:.ost
instances is the hard ray—of diet and
exercise. Whether you rant to gain or
lose, set a physician's advice. The diet
he rooonnends for you rill include the
basic protective foods needed in any re11
balanced diet—vegetables, especially the
ftreen and yellow variotes; fruits of all
hinds, particularly citrus fruits; milk
and escs.
