rtsrt free days i YORK FACTS ABOUT FOOD HOW TO CHOOSE THIS BALANCED DIET Previously we have gone into a somewhat detailed discussion of the "various food essentials and have mentioned the foods which are good sources of them to impress on you the need of eating some of these foods each day. You probably noticed that certain foods are good sources of several nutrients, thus making the choice of a balanced diet a simple task. It would appear tiat in order to have a diet supplying the food essentials we must include in our menu milk, in a pudding or soup, not necessarily as a beverage, or butter and cheese; eggs; meat and fish; green leafy vegetables, leguminous vegetables and yellow vegetables, some of them raw; fruits, particularly and whole wheat breads and cereals. The next question which arises is "How much of each of these foods should I eat each day?" The answer depends on many factors concerning you your age, sex, occupation and state of health. Obvi ously children, pregnant and nursing women and adolescents will require larger quantities of food permitting growth and the for mation of sound teeth and bones.

The person engaged in hard physi cal labor will need more of the fuel food than the office worker, just as the growing, active boy re quires more of it than his business executive father. Adults are wise to arrange their diet to as to main tain normal weigh. Persons un der 30 are better oft slightly over weight, but after 30 overweight is a definite health hazard. Over weight usually results from over eating. Of weight reduc tion should not be attempted with out the approval of your physician.

Mintmam Diet Last May the President called conference of physicians, nutrition ists, food research workers and educators to determine what part food should play in strengthening our nation's resources in this period of emergency. The nutritional experts present at that Washington meeting drew up what they regard as a minimum basic daily diet It consists of: One pint of milk tor an adult and more for a child; a serv ing of meat; one egg or suitable substitute; two vegetables, one of which should be green or yellow; two fruits: one rich in vitamin (citrus or tomatoes); breads, flour and cereal, most of all whole grain or enriched; butter or oleomargar ine with vitamin A added; and other foods to satisfy the appetite. Remember this is the minimum diet Whenever possible vege tables, fruits, eggs, fish, milk, cheese and meat should be used more liberally. Enriched bread has been men tioned. Although it was discussed in the daily papers when government standards for enriched flour were set tome of you may have overlooked it Enriched flour is white or near white flour to which has been added specified amounts of at least two vitamins thiamin and nicotinic acid and one mineral.

iron. Enriched flour may also con tain certain amounts of two other vitamins, riboflavin and vitamin and two other minerals, calcium and phosphorous, but these are not required. The label on the bread or flour wrapper will indicate if they are present The purpose for enriching white flour is to restore to it the miner al and vitamin content of the whole grain, from which it wat refined. The government recommended the enrichment of white flour because of the American preference for the refined white flour to the whole wheat Those of "Skimp to Beat sSkunkf' bleach yellowed linens, 1 yoy bit Deed nothing more thsa sunshine if too lem extn noistuie Ja the material, after final nosing.

through was teem In be CARDUI't most en(huiaUe boosters. you who eat whole wheat breads and cereals should continue to do The "enriched" products are for those who do not like whole wheat Bread and cereal form a large part of the diet of low income families. It it, therefore important that these foods contain the essential minerals and vitamins. There are only two other foods to which vitamins can be successfully added at present They are oleomargarine which can be forti fied with vitamin A to as to make an acceptable butter and milk to which vitamin can be added. Before purchasing oleomargarine, carefully read the package to find if vitamin A has been added.

Without vitamin oleo margarine it not a satisfactory substitute for butter.1 Vitamin milk should be utilized when recom mended by a physician. It should not be given to the child routinely instead of cod liver oil unless the physician says so. You can buy more cod liver oil than is con plied In the milk for the addition al price you pay for fortified milk. And cod liver oil is a very fine source of vitamin A as well. Never take it upon yourself to give the child, vitamin milk and cod liver oil or one of its many substi tutes.

There is the possibility of giving too much vitamin D. Where To Buy Vitamins Drugstore or Grocer? That brings to mind another im portant point Vitamins have been made to catch the public fancy by clever manufacturers who have taken advantage of the fact that many of the vitamins can be man, ufactured in the laboratory. Al most every drugstore window in the city has a display of concen trated vitamin products. Some distributors have suggested that in qrder to obtain the vitamins stated as necessary in the minimum basic diet which I spoke about earlier, you need to take to many of such and such pills. I do not mean to give a blanket condemnation to vitamin pills, capsules and liquids, they serve a good purpose when prescribed by a physician for a pa tient who is suffering from a real deficiency which cannot be made up adequately by food.

But there is no need for the normal person who eats a balanced diet to take those concentrates. If you are in good health you don't take medi cine to make you healthier; that doesn't make, tense, dees it? There is no more sense in taking vitamin pills if you are eating the proper food. It wat pointed out in a recent medical publication that the money spent by the public for vitamin products when the need for them is not indicated might be better employed in the purchase of neces sary foods. Furthermore, taking vitamin concentrates when not prescribed by a physician for a specific vitamin defiency, may prove harmful. Nature provided food with vitamins, minerals and other nutrients in correct proportion.

You cannot Improve on Nature's food formula. There is no question that vitamin preparations have proved invaluable when prescribed by physicians for specific conditions, but don't take them unless your physician tells you to. Vitamin it the only one not abundantly tupplied in food. That is why it is necessary for children and pregnant and nursing women to take the fish liver oils or other concentrates. Cencltnien To return for a few moments to the balanced diet It is not a difficult scientific formula.

It is not rigid. You can have a balanced diet every day for a month or more without repeating several of the foods. The balanced diet It merely a varied diet It is one which during the dsy provides milk, either fresh, or canned, served as i beverage or Included in soups, gravies and desserts, butter or for tified oleomargarine; bread and cereals, most all of which are whole wheat or enriched; an egg; one serving of meat ran or poultry, or cheese or dried vege tables as kidney beans, peas and lentils; tomatoes either whole or the fresh or canned juice; citrus fruit as oranges, grapefruit tangerines or lemons; one other fruit as an apple, pear, peach, banana, rapes and the like; at least one serving of raw vegetables (because some vitamins and minerals are lost In cooking), at lettuce, rom aine, escarole, celery, cucumbers and green peppers; green or yel low vegeUblet as spinach, cabbage kale, mustard greens, suing beans, beet tops, turnips, carrots, squash. onions; a potato, either white or sweet The choice it unlimited Every season of the year and with careful buying and preparing, with in even a limited budget a balanced diet it available. Water, a commodity which next to air it the most available to all.

It too often forgotten by tit. Our bodies require frem five to six pints of It daily. Tia does not mean that all water mutt be drunk such. Almost all our foods contain considerable water. In addition to thit.

water it taken in milk. tea. coffee and soups. In conclusion, let us find if we know the answers to these questions: What Is a balanced diet? Why it it necessary? How may it be obtained? A balanced diet is a varied diet containing all of the essential food fai tort in proper amounts. Such a diet it necessary if best possible health is to be attained and maintained.

The balanced diet may be obtained if we know the minimum ba'le requirements and insist upon that minimum every day. adding to it wjerever circumstances permit Safari, February tflj Metropolitan Chapter of National Council Of Negro Women Plans Luncheon of Interest Using as its topic for discussion The Negro Woman in Defense of what?" the Metropolitan Chapter of the National Council of gro Women is arranging an unusually interesting luncheon, which will be liven on Sunday afternoon, March 15, at one o'clock at the West 137th Street Branch Y.
