So it is unwise to sit down to a large meal when exhausted from too much physical or mental work. A brief rest before eating will put the body in much better shape to receive and assimilate the food. Then, if the meal is served in | pleasant surroundings, and if the left alone, is to wonder how they manage to find anything to eat at all, in view of the many good foods they con- sider taboo! Certainly there is no objection to food as the topic of conversation. It is basic to good health that it should be upper- most in the mind of every individual who desires to pro- mote physical and mental efficiency. And it is also nat- ural for a person to be guided by past experience in de- termining what he should eat, and what it may be advisable for him to avoid. But it is a grave mistake for one person to warn another against any food or, combination of foods on the ground that it will cause digestive distress. For the truth of the matter is that under proper conditions, a normal, healthy person should have no dif- ficulty in digesting almost any food that has a place in the well balanced diet. Food Dislikes Often Unfounded SO me that her contented-looking hus- band could, and did, eat most ev- erything ‘cept horseshoes. Menu planning was simple for her! And how different from the problems of the home-maker who must try to reconcile her menus, both with the food dislikes of various mem: It is true, of course, that indi viduals differ greatly, and occa- sionally a food that can and should be eaten regularly by most peo- ple, will cause distress in an in. dividual case. But that is no in- dication that the food will have the same effect on another per son, and it is misleading either to proffer or accept advice of this na- ture from friends. It may be that the victim has an allergy to the food in question —~that he reacts to it differently than the majority of people. But there is also the possibility that the prejudice exists because some previous distress, not by the food itself, but by the circumstances under which it was eaten. Perhaps a clearer understand. ing of some of the mental and physiological factors influencing digestion would dispel avoid various, wholesome foods and food combinations, and to warn others against them. Emotions Influence Digestion Scientists have established that the stomach is capable of reacting to almost every emotion and sen- sation that is experienced by men and women. Thus, how you eat becomes quite as important as what you eat. And any food or combination of foods consumed whereas the same food, when eat. gested without the slightest dis- turbance. | ditions, it may remain stagnant | in the alimentary canal, with the subsequent formation of gases and decomposition products. But stead of recognizing the true cause of the trouble, many people erro neously blame the food itself! Medical men have frequently noticed that people often deveiop gastric disturbances when they suffer financial reverses, and con- tinue to suffer from them until their financial condition improves —a striking demonstration of the in- worry! Never Eat When Tired Almost any food may cause tress when one is suffering from dis | gested satisfactorily by | individuals. Be Tranquil at Mealtimes In view of the fact that tran- quillity of mind is essential to the proper utilization of food, home- makers should remember never to discuss unpleasant subjects at meal times. Don’t nag the chil- dren about eating, or choose that time to discuss their lapses from discipline. Don’t talk about finances or take up real or fancied grievances with your hushand. Let such matters wait until the meal has been digested.
