SUGGESTIONS FOR THE PREVENTION OF SUNSTROKE

From one to two glasses of cool water should be drunk at each of these meals.

Mastication of every atom should be complete.

Hurried eating is the most prolific cause of fermentation. Fermentation is the cause of intestinal gas, sour stomach and indigestion, also constipation and torpid liver.

Avoid stimulants such as tea, coffee, tobacco, beer, or liquors. These things excite heart activity, which causes excessive body-heat.

Avoid sweets, especially sweet soda-fountain drinks. Sugar is composed largely of carbon, and carbon is one of Nature's greatest heat-makers.

Confine the diet largely to semi-acid fruits, fresh vegetables, green salads, milk, eggs, nuts, and a very limited quantity of bread and cereal products.

Cereal starch is the most difficult of all carbohydrate matter to digest.

Drink an abundance of pure water at meals and between meals.

Avoid all mixed-up, sweetened and charged water. There is nothing better than plain spring or distilled water.

Do not eat too many things at the same meal. Three or four articles are sufficient.

Avoid meat of all kinds, and eat a very limited quantity of fats.

By all means do not overeat. Every atom of food taken into the body that is not used must be cast off at a tremendous expense of energy. The casting-off process is what we call dis-ease.
