The U.S. charge in Phom Penh, Loyd M.

Hard-Hitting Commentary This hard-hitting commentary on present-day food habits is a considered study by Lelord Kordel.

A trained nutritionist, he has enthralled audiences throughout the United States with his lectures on the whole business of food values and how little we know about keeping ourselves in condition by eating adequate amounts of selected foods. What Is The Kordel Plan? Lelord Kordel believes that wrong eating is one of the main factors in the physical and mental illnesses that plague men a.id women today. For years he has studied the effect on body and mind of varying foods, and is convinced that many diseases can be learning how to eat correctly. The Kordel Plan is a way of living healthily while eating enjoyably. Hv following the suggestions he gives in his articles you will find a new ability to relax amid the tensions of modern life.

Through eating certain foods it is possible to live a livelier, more vigorous life. Sleep will become deep and refreshing. You will face each day with a song in your of your new-found energy.

If a hit-and-miss eater with a penchant for pastries, you may not like what Kordel will tell you may be forced to admit there is something in what he says. Author of 8 books on better eating and health, Lelord Kordel claims too many people have been lured down the dietary path to the early and inevitable murder of their youth, good looks, pep, radiant vitality and chances to live out a generous span of years by their failure to select and prepare foods properly. Approved By Eminent Scientists find no in Lelord writings, which are based on sound, current scientific thinking. Ur.
