It is also important to breathe through the nose when it is very hot, not only when you are in the cold. The nose is equipped with a built-in air-conditioning system, or temperature control, which warms up the incoming air in the winter and cools it down in the summer.

The same principle applies to white bread, white rolls and other white flour products, showing once more the power of advertising and how demands are created to spoil the palate so that artificially prepared foods with all their additives seem to taste better. The knowledge that they are greatly inferior to products made from whole cereals is simply ignored. If one continues to eat white bread, lack of fibre will soon weaken the peristalsis of the intestines and lead to constipation, which, in turn, encourages a host of other troubles that will ultimately be dealt with by injections and all sorts of harmful drugs and medicines. One mistake after another is made and, sooner or later, the price for choosing one’s food according to the dictates of the palate will have to be paid for by chronic ill health and physical suffering.

How much wiser it would be to adapt oneself to the more healthy foods, which give a true sensation of taste, instead of the cultivated taste for the artificial. It is not only the individual who would be the ultimate beneficiary from eating natural health foods, but the economy of the land would be boosted as well.

Some people do not react immediately to poisons such as lead, arsenic and copper sulphate used in sprays, being less sensitive. Others are more sensitive and immediately show signs of poisoning upon eating sprayed fruit. Be it as it may, when buying fruit one should make sure it has not been sprayed. It is common to find blemishes or an occasional brown spot on fruit that has not been treated with insecticides, but the fruit is still edible and its goodness is not impaired, since these blemishes are harmless plant fungi.

For breakfast to be nourishing and wholesome, the ideal foundation is muesli with apples or other seasonal fruit. Add nuts and wholegrain flakes to enrich it further. A highly nutritive addition is whole wheat, first soaked and then put through the mincer. Raisins or sultanas can be mixed with the wheat before it is minced; these are excellent for the blood. A level tablespoon of ground linseed may also be added if constipation is a problem. Use honey or grape sugar to sweeten.

Crispbread, wholewheat or whole grain bread (for example Vogel’s Whole Grain Flake Bread) with a little butter, honey or rose hip conserve can follow the muesli. If you like, sprinkle some wheat germ on the bread or over the muesli.

If a patient suffering from a liver disorder wishes to eat some meat protein, the meat should be grilled, never fried. Avoid fatty cuts or meat that was cooked in its own fat. Very lean, muscular meat, preferably veal or beef, is the best for the patient who thinks he cannot do without it. Since pork is the most harmful of all meats, it should be eliminated from the diet. Among the divine laws given to the Israelites was one forbidding them to eat pork and, as it so happened, this abstinence proved to be in the interest of their health.

From the beginning it is very important to empty the bowels. For this purpose, take a harmless laxative tea or herbal laxative such as Rasayana No. 1 or Linoforce. If the bowels fail to react quickly, an enema is called for. Either camomile, mallow (cheese plant) or sanicle tea can be used, preferably with twenty drops of Echinaforce or Symphosan tincture added.

Of course, do not forget the habit of going to bed early, perhaps going even earlier than usual so as to be in bed well before midnight, because sleep during these hours will conserve your health and energy.

Remember, too, that retiring on a full stomach is not conducive to a good night’s rest and is usually responsible for bad dreams. It is important when we eat, and how much and what we eat. Supper, as the last regular meal of the day, should not be taken at 8 or 9 p.m. or even later in the evening; that would be asking for trouble. If at all possible, we should have a light, easily digested meal shortly after 6 p.m. After supper, take a short walk and breathe deeply. This will aid the digestion and ensure a good night’s healthy sleep.

to the push button that is needed to start and stop a sophisticated piece of machinery. The human body contains approximately 0.05 g of iodine, half of which is found in the muscular system, one-tenth in the skin and a large portion in the endocrine glands, especially the thyroid. Here we find iodine attached to an amino acid, forming the hormone called thyroxine.

It is interesting to note that the so-called iodine level, that is the amount of iodine contained in the blood, is the same for all healthy people, no matter where they live, whether in the mountains, by the sea, in the polar regions or at the equator.
