EAT THESE FOODS DAILY FOR HEALTH

lt is better to eat a little of a variety
than a lot of two or three foods

(1) One quart milk for a child; one pint for an
adult, as drink or in custards and soups.
(One quart of milk = 1 lb. steak as to
protein value) ;

(2) At least one egg

(3) Butter

S (4) Raw fruit

   
  

SXC= (5) One green leafy vegetable and two others
(6) One raw vegetable in salad such as lettuce,
cole slaw, tomato, grated carrots

(7) Whole grain bread or cereal

These seven foods contain the necessary vitamins for health except the
sunshine vitamin provided by one hour daily in the sun. Eat first what you
should, then what you like. By making a habit of eating the foods you
should, they soon become your favorites.

To buy wisely spend almost half the day’s food money for milk, cheese
and butter. Milk and whole milk cheese each contain elements vital to
health of tissues, nerves, bones, teeth and heart action. Cooking food too
long destroys the vitamins. The water in which vegetables are cooked con-
tains valuable elements. It should be used in soups. Chew your food thor-
oughly. Drink before or after eating, not while chewing.

People who do not eat the right foods and do not get eight hours of sleep
find it hard to maintain good posture and are more likely to suffer. from
infections. Even common colds may lead to serious ills. Frequent check-ups
by your physician are advisable. ‘

leges, health units, and those promoting public
health education are invited to participate..
