WEIGHT LOSS
Excess weight makes movement difficult, climbing stairs troublesome and respiration thick and panting.  Neither,
the heart or lungs, can work easily and healthily being oppressed with the gathering of fat.

It is now understood that the amount of food ingested should be in accord with the amount of work employed in
daily life.  However, when excess food is eaten, it takes the form of diseased deposits or toxins and ceases to be
an available source of nutriment.  These necessities, exercise, fresh air and a good source of light are helpful to
losing weight.  

Non-sugared cereal, vegetables, fruits, soups, meats, nuts in moderation, eggs and milk should be eaten.  On
such a dietary plan and without alcoholic beverages, many have enjoyed better health and weight loss.

A well- known fact is that the surrounding temperature influences the demand for food, therefore, in hot weather
the diet should be lighter than in cold weather.  Those living in hot climates should eat less animal or fatty foods
and drink less alcohol.

Living on cereals, vegetables, fruit and fish will help one to tolerate high temperatures and be free from thirst,
which is a natural result of consuming needless, heating foods.

A very common pain, not due to the consequence of any stomach disorder, is due to the error in diet, eating too
much sugar and fatty material.  These elements are not objectable if eaten as part of a regular meal, but are
when mostly eaten between meals.

Uneasiness persisting some time after a meal indicates that the stomach is acting imperfectly on the materials,
which have been put into it.  If these signs occur more frequently, then nature is hinting that certain foods are
inappropriate; if continued, more serious problems will develop.

Temporary relief can be given by medicines; but it is unfortunate to blame the stomach when it is the diet that one
selects.  If changes are not made to the diet, trouble will continue or appear in some other form.  In many cases
the complaints are due to the quantity of food eaten.

The term “indigestion” does not denote a disease, but the breaking of natural law.  It means that the individual
has not found the appropriate diet.  Three-fourths of the nutrient matter consumed are from the animal kingdom.  
A reversal of the proportions, three-fourths of vegetable produce, would furnish a greater variety for the table,
tend to maintain a cleaner palate, increase the zest for food, a more active brain and a better state of health.
