WHAT,
WHEN
AND
HOW
TO EAT
The Importance of Selecting,
Combining and Propor-
tioning Food.
By EUGENE CHRISTIAN, F. S. D.
[Copyright, i913, by American Press Asso-
ciation.)
HERE ure three common laws
that govern all forms of ani-
mal life—uamely, nutrition, wo-
tion. oxidation, or, in other
words, eating, exercising aud breath-
ing. Both exercising and breathing
are automatic processes: therefore they
are done in zecordance with nature,
but it is different with our food.
Man has put into his stomach in
some form or other peariy everything
on the face of the earth, and his ef-
forts have been crowned with a series
of mistakes that are largely responsi-
ble for a condition of universal disease
and a woeful shortening of life.
As this series of articles will deal
largely with these mistakes and bow
to correct them, 1 will first take up the
subject of nutrition—man's food. I
will subdivide this subject into three
parts—selecting, combining and propor-
tioning.
In order to get the best results the
diet must be selected go as to contain
all the elements of nourishment the
body needs. It must be combined so
as to be chemically harmonious when
mixed in the stomach, and it must be
proportioned so that one is not overfed
on some things and underfed on oth-
ers. In other words, the diet must or
should be balanced.
Man’s Life Is Too Short.
Man has existed a long time on this
earth, and he thinks he has done fairly
well without knowing or caring any-
thing about these laws, but when we
examine the mortality tables of all civ-
flized countries we realize that there
is something radically wrong.
The life period of mankind, reckon-
ing from an age of six. is only a little
over thirty-eight years, and if we take
him from his infancy it brings his pe-

riod of existence down to less than
thirty-four years. He barely gets
grown before he drops into his grave.
Nature does not demand exactness
in eating. If one eats a little too
much or the wrong proportions the
surplus can be worked off, but the
work must be done or the penalty
must be patd. The penalty is some
form of congestion in the body which
we are pleased to call disease.
Three Other Laws of Diet.
When we learn how to select, com-
bine and proportion our food fit
should be partaken of according to
our age, climate (time of the year) and
the work we do.
If we wish the best results we
must select and proportion our food
according to age. because the grow-
ing child or youth needs much struc-
tural material—sulphate of lime—with
which to build bone. teeth and carti-
lage. This is found in cereals and
all starch foods. The middle aged per
son needs but little of these. just
enough for repair, and the aged per-
son needs practically none.
In selecting and proportioning our
food we should observe the laws of
temperature or time of the year. We
stiould not partake of foods of a high
saloric or heating valine at a time
when the sun is giving us this heat
direct, thus building a fire foside while
the sun fs giving nus the sane heat
outside. The violation of this simple
law is the cause of all sunstroke and
heat tions. On the contrary, if
we are going to be exposed to zero
weather we should build the fire in:

Balanced Diet Essential,
We shoul select and proportion our
| food according to the work we do,
| because eating Is a process of mak.
tng energy, while work is a process of
expending energy, and we should make
these two accounts balance. When
they are balanced we are healthy:
when they are unbalanced we are dis-
eased.
Health is our natura! condition, and
i the nearer we obey the laws of nutri-
tion as above subdivided the more '
perfect our henith will be and the
more automatically all functions of
the body will work. Correct eating.

Results of Wrong Food Combinations. |
There are hundreds of chemicals so
oppused to each other that they pro-
duce violent action when mixed to-
gether, and so it is with food. Every
article of food we eat is composed of
a definite chemistry: therefore to get |
the best results or the highest value |
(energy) out of what we eat our meals |
must be composed of things that are
chemically harmonious.
The stomach serves two purposes—
first. n mixing and testing crueible:
second, a storehouse or depot.
It is estimated by the highest an-
thorities that about HO per vent of all
human disease originates in the stom-
ach: therefore if people knew how to
select and combine their food so that!
every article composing the meal would |
be both nutritious and chewically her |
monious it would do more to promote |
health and raise the standard of life |
than any other one thing known to
science.
When several foods are eaten at the |
same meal that sre not chemically |
harmonious nature pours into the stom-
ach nn large amount of hydrochloric |
acid. which produces fermentation. |
This is noture’s way of nentralizing
and getting rid of these opposing ele |
ments. Then we say the foods did not |

Cause of Heart Trouble.
When there is too mueh hydrochloric |
acid In the stomach foods digest too
quickly. This causes congestion in the
upper intestines. The food, being su-
percharged with acid, undergoes a proc- |
ess of fermentation which generates |
gas. This gas acenmulates in the | and work have made the American peo-

arterial overflow, and then we have
palpitation, dizziness and sometimes
complete heart failure and death.
In addition to congestion and irregu-
lar heart action the excess acid causes
frritation of the mucous membrane or
intestinal lining. and the millions of
little nerve fibers that lead out from
these irritated surfaces to every part of
the body also become irritated and
cause what we call nervousness.
The brain and the stomach bear the
same relation to each other that a bal-
loon bears to a basket. They are con-
nected by thousands of nerves and cap-
fllary vessels; therefore when the stom-
ach becomes Irritated by acid the
brain is the first organ to suffer. Then
we have insomnia, nervousness, melan-
cholia, nck of concentration, ete
Results of Autointoxication.
These are only a few of the condi
tons caused by the wrong selections
and combinations of food. The gener-
al physical trouble is described by the
word autointoxication., which means
that we have eaten more food than the
body could use, and nature has decom-
posed or changed it into alcohol and
carbon dioxide poisons.
Autointoxication causes innumerable
symptoms. such as anaemia, languor,
drowsiness, impure blood. indicated by
pimples or acne: melancholia, a lack of
interest in things. That is. where we
should be normally cheerful we are
melancholy. Instead of being mentally
bright and quick to comprehend, our
mind is disturbed. wandering and dull,
and we undergo a sort of general men-
tal and physical let down.
There are n number of other condi
tions caused by the wrong selections
and combinations of food which, nam-
ed in the order of thelr importance,
are rhenmatism, Bright's disease, gout,
lumbago. diabetes, hardening of the
arteries, enlargement of the liver, etc.
Innsmuch as the true remedy for ali
diseases must be found in the field of
their cause, it is obvious that the cure
for these disorders lies in food. When
I say cure | mean that scientific feed
ing will remove the primary causes,
and nature will do the curing.
Disease Is the Penalty.
Just as the state punishes people
who violate her criminal laws. so all
diserse is merely the penalty for vio
lating natural laws. Nature, however.
fs more merciful than the state. She
will forgive and cure If yon will
turn and obey her laws This is the
reason why the greatest living scien
tists are gradually turning toward the
food question to find the causes as
well as the cure for a majority of
buman disorders.
In this series of articles 1 shall
endeavor to point out the various
combinations of food that cause many
common diseases and show how thelr
causes ean be removed avd cures made
by the scientific us® of food.
Health is the one thing we all de-
sire. and, nus this great prize is a mat-
ter of obeying or disobeying natural
laws, let ns examine man with some
care and if possible ascertain some
