MELLORINE
In a nation whose principal
nutrition problem, and maybe its
most Important health problem,
la overweight, there are actually
many persona who want to. and
ought to. GAIN weight
Underweight is generally re-
garded as an advantage in terms
of long life and relative freedom
from the diseases and discom-
forts that go along with over-
weight In general thia la true,
and there la validity in the old
proverb that a lean horse is best
for a long race
Body Needs Eat
But there are disadvantages to
underweight, besides the nick
name "skinny " The body re-
quires a certain amount of fat
In the right places for comfort
and good health Under the skin
there is normally a layer of fat
which acts as an insulator to help
keep the person warm, and plays
s part in forming the more pleas
ing contours of the body. espec-
tally the feminine body Pads of
fat in the abdomen, and in the
apron like curtain called the
omentum which covers the intea
Ums. help to support internal
organs in their places Fat also
plays s part in joints
The long and overly lean in
dividual is more susceptible to
certain chest conditions, includ-
ing tuberculosis, and digestive
troubles of the ulcer type, than
is the person of normal weight
or above
How Te Gate Weight
How. then, can the underweight
person put on more pounds? The
procedure is the reverse of that
recommended for losing weight
The first step is the same —
namely s complete medical exam-
ination Before one can hope to
gain weight, one must be free
from disease conditions which
keep the weight down When
this has been established, the
procedure then is as follows
1. Try to eat more, if neces-
sary eat more often.
2 Eat more of the foods that
furnish more calories in
small bulk, butter, cheese,
meat, eggs, sweets, choco-
late, cream.
3 Reduce activity, sit more and
stand less, ride more and
walk less.
4 Whenever possible, rest or
nap after eating
Of course, In choosing your
foods be sure to include the nec
essary variety from the four food
groups but emphasize the foods
that are commonly, though in
accurately, called fattening.' It
is the diet as a whole that te fat
teningt not any one food
