What to Eat and Why
C. Houston Goudiss Describes Correct
Diet for Cool Weather; Explains
How to Keep Warm and Well
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS
M ANY people look upon fall weather with foreboding.
They cannot observe leaves on the ground without a
feeling of vague uneasiness—and the sight of brown and
barren fields fills them with desolation.
This, I think, is a throwback to an earlier day when the
advent of cool weather foretold long months of bitterly cold
days in draughty, inadequate-^
ly heated houses. And the lack
of adequate heat was only one
of many difficulties. The prin
cipal reason for fearing cold
weather is another heritage
from the past.
Limited Diet of an Earlier Day
There was a time within mem
ory of many of us when the terms
“cold-weather di
et” and “warm-
weather diet” had
real meaning. Win
ter food differed a
great deal from
summer food, par
ticularly in the ab
sence of fresh
fruits and vege
tables, and in the
restricted use of
milk, and milk
products.
The limited diet of winter was
enforced by conditions of that pe
riod. Methods of production,
transportation, refrigeration and
storage of foods, which are com
monplace today, were then un
known.
Fruits and vegetables were con
sumed when and where they were
grown, and when cold weather
prevented their growth, they were
not available. The canning indus
try was young and the grocery
store in cold weather presented a
far different appearance from
the modern food store in which
the shelves are lined, row upon
row, with shining cans of the fin
est fruits and vegetables to be
found anywhere in the world, plus
an amazing assortment of pre
pared milks.
It was an accepted fact that
fruits, vegetables, and the gener
ous use of milk belonged to the
summer months, while in winter
everyone ate an unbalanced diet.
As a result of lacking these essen
tial protective foods, health went
down rapidly from late fall to
early spring.
The winter diet was deficient in
minerals and vitamins, which sci
ence has proven to be the pro
tectors of health, barriers against
disease, sustainers of life. But
in those days, vitamins were un
known and very little had been
learned about minerals. There
fore, when people became ill dur
ing cold weather, the natural con
clusion was that sickness was in
evitable during the winter season.
Cold Weather Really a Tonic
Times have changed. Scientific
knowledge has increased. The
genius of man has asserted itself
in mechanical advancement. The
expressions, “cold-weather diet”
and “warm-weather diet,” have
lost their former meaning.
Almost without exception, the
protective foods are available
throughout the year, no matter
where we live.
It is therefore possible to pro
tect the health by a balanced diet
all the year 'round, and to benefit
by the tonic effect of cold weather.
For, contrary to popular belief,
cold weather is beneficial, and not
harmful, to healthy people.
Cold speeds up all the activities
of the body. The circulation is im
proved, muscle tone is increased,
and digestion, absorption and
elimination are stimulated. Even
prolonged cold is thus a tonic to
health, provided we do not weaken
onr bodies by an unbalanced diet.
It is partly because so many
people continue to eat improperly,
in spite of our newer knowledge
of nutrition, that we still find an
increasing amount of sickness in
the fall, which mounts steadily
until it reaches its peak in the
months of January, February and
March.
Dangers of an Improper Diet
Yet winter need have no terrors
for the fit. Only the weak, the
unfit, surrender and become its
victims. That the number of vic
tims is large each winter merely
indicates how many people neg
lect their health through careless
living, and especially through
careless eating.
Measures to protect one’s self
against the attack of winter
should be taken during the sum
mer and early fall. A sturdy re
sistance against the ills of winter
should be built up by means of a
balanced diet which assures an
abundant supply of the minerals
and vitamins.
When a person is undernour
ished or improperly nourished, he
is denied of every defense. He is
chilled by the slightest drop in
temperature. He offers fertile soil
for every kind of disease germs.
He can neither resist their inva
sion, nor fight them off after they
have attacked. N
Thus, the first rule for keeping
warm and well in winter is to live
and eat in a manner that helps to
maintain health and strength. The
correct winter diet differs in one
important respect—and one only—
from the correct diet at other sea
sons.
As a rule, people are more en-

ergetic in cold weather and it is
therefore necessary to increase
the amount of energy-producing
foods. Nearly all children, and
adults who spend much of their
time out doors, should consume
more high caloric foods which
may be provided in the form of
easily digested carbohydrates,
such as rice, macaroni, spaghetti,
noodles, potatoes, cereals and
breadstuffs.
In the case of adults, the amount
of fats may also be increased and
in some circumstances, more
sweets may likewise be taken.
To summarize, the cold weather
diet should include a quart of milk
daily for every child, a pint for
each adult; two fruits daily, or
one fruit and one fruit juice—and
while one serving may be a dried
frait, such as prunes, apricots or
figs, there should be one serving
of a citrus fruit, or tomatoes, to
provide vitamin C; two vegetables
besides potatoes, one of which
should be of the green, leafy va
riety, either fresh or canned; an
egg daily, or at least three or four
weekly; one daily serving of meat,'
fish or chicken, and a second pro
tein food snch as cheese, dried
peas or beans or nuts; and enough
of the fuel foods including whole
grain cereals, to keep the body
warm and comfortable.
If you eat correctly and dress
sensibly so that you are neither
too warmly clad indoors nor too
thinly clad out of doors, you can
enjoy cold weather and benefit by
it to the extent of increased
health and happiness.

Your Health May
Depend on You Teeth
Am Editorial by G Houston Goudiss
The reason why some men and
women in their middle years look
and feel younger today than their
parents did at the same age, is
because they have learned some
thing of thfe importance of curing
properly for their teeth. In recent
years, dentists have discovered
that sound teeth are in truth a
passport to good health, and that
there is as close a relationship be
tween healthy teeth and healthy
bodies as between decayed teeth
and sickly bodies.
Unfortunately, however, only a
small percentage of our popula
tion is yet aware of the far-reach
ing effects of teeth upon health,
and a distinguished scientist is so
disturbed over our national ignor
ance in this respect that he has
said that unless this trend is re
versed, the course of human evo
lution will lead downward to ex
tinction. That statement is no
exaggeration. For it would be
difficult to over-estimate the influ
ence of the teeth on human health
and happiness.
For many years I have endeav
ored to explain that a neglected
tooth—which soon becomes a de
cayed tooth—is a poison factory,
distributing its noxious products
to every part of the body, and that
it may lead indirectly to neuritis,
rheumatic ailments, dyspepsia,
and other obscure complaints.
In many of the “WHAT TO EAT
AND WHY” articles, which have
appeared in this newspaper over
my signature, I have endeavored
to point out the close relationship
between diet and dental disease;
between frequent and thorough
brushing of the teeth with an effi
cient dentifrice so as tp remove all
food particles, and strong, beauti
ful teeth.
As a result of these articles, X
have received many letters, show
ing that homemakers are eager
for sound, authoritative advice on
the proper care of the teeth. To
help these and other readers how
to properly care for their teeth, I
have prepared a booklet on—
“BUILDING AND PLANNING
HEALTH” which I am offering
FREE, because I feel so strongly
that this information should be in
every home, knowing as I do, that
the salvation of the human raeo
may lie in saving their teeth.
