29. Some people thrive on raw foods while others do not. The best time
to begin with raw foods is in childhood.
30. Hot house plants cannot digest raw foods. Open your doors and
windows and learn to breathe first. Fresh air and sunshine are
necessary for the change of food.
31. If your teeth are poor, substitute a food-chopper or grinder for
your foods.
32. The most perfect foods, such as apples, tomatoes, wheat, oats, rye,
legumes and nuts seldom disagree with a healthy individual, provided
they are used wisely.
33. Sunlight is a great disinfectant. Dark rooms are a breeding place
for tuberculous germs.
34. Daily out-of-door exercise in the sunshine will increase health
and reduce the coal bill. Without exercise our food can be of little
benefit to us.
35. By natural feeding, overwork is not possible. The body demands rest
when its strength is exhausted.
36. Artificial stimulants are deceivers. They make a man feel strong
when he is weak. They produce artificial heat and will-power and an
abnormal temperature; they lead to overwork, abnormal development and
degenerate brains and bodies.
37. Natural will-power can direct its force wherever it is wanted, be
it for work or rest; it can sustain on bread and water for many days.
38. Without substance there can be no power. Substantial food, fresh
air, water and natural exercise develop strong bodies and minds.
39. Artificial sweets, white bread and poisonous beverages develop
butterflies that crave excitement and artificial life.
40. The world is full of people that are without substance, power or
principle. They earn their living the easiest way they can. Wrong
feeding is responsible for such conditions.
41. Social reformers and humanitarians cannot solve problems until they
have learned how to feed the race.
42. Many people are under the impression that if a certain food is
recommended as especially healthful, over-indulgence must be beneficial.
43. All natural foods are wholesome; over-eating produces discomfort
and disease.
44. Some fruits and vegetables have high medicinal values. Specific
foods prescribed in large quantities are useful for certain ailments,
but not for a healthy individual.
45. Each individual is a law unto himself. Two different people
afflicted with a disease of the same name may require entirely
different treatment. Human beings cannot be standardized like inert
machines.
46. Canned fruits out of season are not a necessary article of food;
they are of value as a medicine.
47. If certain foods do not agree, or produce indigestion, study their
combination and preparation carefully, also the proportion, and time of
the day when most suitable. If this does not prove satisfactory, leave
them alone.
48. Don’t buy cheap or inferior food of any kind.
49. Don’t always believe your dealer as to the quality of the product.
Investigate for yourself.
