G YOUR HEALTH The Need For Food The body needs food for two purposes; as fuel to supply energy and to repair the waste of body tisues which goes on in the daily wear and tear of life. Considering the fuel aspect of food first, we think of calories. Calories is the name given to the fuel value of anything that is burned up. L.arge establishments using a great deal of fuel do not buy coal by the ton but by the number of heat units or calories furnished per dollar. Food plays the same role in the human machinery as coal < does in the furnace or gas in the car. The first purpose of food is to furnish fuel. If fuel in the form of food were not available to the body, the body would immediately start to consume itself. Starvation is the result of the fires of human life burning human life itself. In constructing a diet it is always essential that sufficient calories be given to maintain body weight and to supply fuel for energy consumed by the body. Freciuentlv tho h 11 m a n body is compared to a machine. The analogy must never be allowed to go too far because the machine built of nonflammable material simply goes out of commission when the necessary fuel is withheld. The fundamental concept of the use of food for fuel in the human body is exactly the opposite. As soon as insufficient calories, the machine continues to work, but uses its own fuel.

The main differences between the human body and machine of metal is that the machine of metal is a thing apart from the substance fed to it as fuel, where the human body is of the same substance as the fuel and therefore its life a depends entirely on suffi- I cient outside fuel being fur- I nished to prevent its consum- | ing itself. The practical importance I of this idea extends not only I into the life of normal human beings, but is of particular importance in the life h' of overweight persons. Loss S of weight means loss of body tissue, and this is the same as burning off one's own body as fuel. All reduction methods are based on restriction of calorie intake. Anybody who eats less than he * burns up will lose weight. 2 How To Be Perfectly Miserable 1. Think about yourself. 2. Talk about yourself. 3. Use "I" as often as possible. 4.
