Those who wish to live their best must pay some attention to the combination of food. It is true that very moderate people, those who take no more food than the body demands, can combine about as they please. These moderate people do not care to mix their foods much. They are satisfied with very plain fare. Much as we dislike to acknowledge the fact, nearly all of us take too much food, even those who most strongly preach moderation. By combining properly much of the harmful effect of overeating can be overcome. FRUITARIANS. I class as fruitarians those who eat only cereals, fruits and nuts. This may not be a correct definition, but after reading much literature on dietetics it is the best I can do. Their combinations should present no difficulties. They should take cereals once or twice a day; nuts once or twice a day; fruit once a day in winter and once or twice a day in summer. The winter fruit should be sweet part of the time. In summer it can be the juicy fruit and berries at all times. The fruitarians should be careful to avoid the habitual combination of acid fruits with their cereals. One meal a day can be made of one or two varieties of fruit and nothing else. Nuts may be added to the fruit at times. Another meal may be made of some cereal product with nut butter or some kind of vegetable oil. A third meal may be some form of sweet fruit, with which may be eaten either bread or nuts, or better still, combine one sweet fruit with an acid one. Most people would consider such a diet very limited, but it is easy to thrive on it, and it is not a tiresome one. There are so many varieties of fruits, nuts and cereals that it is easy to get variety. These foods do not become monotonous when taken in proper amounts. On such a diet it does not make much difference which meal is breakfast, lunch or dinner. The rule should be to take the heartiest meal after the heavy work is done, for hearty meals do not digest well if either mind or body is hard at work. It is not difficult to get all the food necessary in two meals, but inasmuch as the three meal a day plan is prevalent the menus here given include that number of meals. Breakfast: Apples, baked or raw. Lunch: Brown rice and raisins. Dinner: Whole wheat zwieback with nut butter. Breakfast: Oranges or grapefruit. Lunch: Pecans and figs. Dinner: Bread made of rye or whole wheat flour, with nut butter or olive oil. Breakfast: Any kind of berries. Lunch: Dates. Dinner: Whole wheat bread, with or without oil, Brazil nuts. These combinations are indeed simple, but these foods are very nourishing and most of them concentrated, so it is best not to mix too much. They are natural foods, which digest easily when taken in moderation, but if eaten to excess they soon produce trouble.
