HEALTH HINTS FOR BUSY PEOPLE.
1. Keep the feet warm, the head cool and the stomach not too full.
2. Take walks out of doors daily and breathe deeply.
3. Do not wear tight shoes or tight corsets.
4. Masticate your food thoroughly. Select, combine and prepare it
rightly. Do not overeat.
5. Avoid fresh breads, inferior cakes and pastry.
6. Do not eat unless you are hungry.
7. Do not over-indulge in athletic or any other kind of exercise.
8. Remember that natural feeding, pure air and sufficient sleep call
for natural breathing and natural exercise.
9. Unnatural feeding and late hours create disease or nervousness.
10. Don’t take drugs for sleeplessness.
11. Tired feeling in the morning is the result of nerve starvation and
auto-intoxication.
12. The house we live in should be constructed for health and comfort,
rather than for style.
13. Sleep by open windows. Night air is as pure as day air. Protect
yourself from dampness by an open fire if necessary.
14. Do not dress and wash in a cold bath room. Have your wash bowl in
the bed room.
15. Sewer gas from a small pipe in a well ventilated bed room is not
harmful, as it is carried off in the air. Have the stopper placed in
the hole when not in use.
16. Dress by an open fire or in a sunny room. A chill before breakfast
produces indigestion and a desire for unnecessary hot foods.
17. Never sleep by night lamps or any other artificial light. They are
injurious to the eyes and absorb oxygen.
18. Teach a growing child that selecting and preparing his food is an
important occupation.
19. Do not allow a child to fill his body with trash.
20. Pure water is as important as pure food. If you boil your water the
minerals are deposited on the bottom of the kettle instead of in the
system for bone-making material.
21. Milk is a food, not a drink; it should never be taken in addition
to, or at the end of, a heavy meal.
22. Many people object to boiled milk on account of a theory that it
tends to constipate. Do not dwell on theories; find out the effect for
yourself. Potatoes, toast and many other cooked foods are constipating
also. Why not object to those?
23. Raw foods are more nutritious than cooked foods, if they are pure
and fresh and can be digested without difficulty.
24. A change from cooked to raw foods might produce diarrhœa or
constipation. The latter condition is generally not dangerous.
Constipation from cooked foods is more dangerous.
25. A daily evacuation of the bowels is not always a sign that the
stomach and intestines are in good working order. The bowels can be
forced to move by the eating of too rich foods.
26. Some people are clearer in mind on a vegetarian diet, while upon
others it has no such effect at all.
27. A healthy individual does not need to confine himself to a special
system of diet. Avoid dangerous experiments carried on for orthodox
reasons.
28. Rich soaky cooked nut foods are not health foods. If you want to be
a vegetarian, live on raw foods.
