Eat well against
a rough winter
By GAYNOR MADDOX
All signs point toward a
rough-and-ready winter. So
much so that the Department
of Commerce recently
warned citizens of the dan
gers of winter storms. It
urges all Americans to win
terize their homes and their
vehicles early. It also
warned everyone to get into
good physical shape before
the first storm strikes.
Good physical condition
depends largely on sound
eating habits. Therefore,
start now to check up on
what you eat and how much.
Storms play rough with un
fortified bodies.
Among other things the
Department of Commerce
stresses that the most com
mon winter hazard is upper
respiratory infection. Older
people with bronchitis, em
physema or asthma especial
ly need to be cautious of the
cold air.
The Department recom
mends building up the body’s
resistance to infection by
daily eating moderately
meals that are good, enjoy
able.

(NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.)
with three nationally known
nutritionists, each the direc
tor of a university depart
ment of nutrition. Here is a
summary of their specific
advice:
• A good diet must in
clude adequate amounts of
meat (beef, pork, lamb,
etc.), fish, poultry and
cheese. These are all good
protein foods.
In addition, a good diet
will include a liberal amount
oi fruits and vegetables
(don’t forget the potatoes),
breakfast cereals, bread and
rolls, macaroni products,
cornbread and rice for es
sential energy.
• Eat good and ample
meals regularly to build up
resistance against winter
winds and storms. But don’t
eat too much. Avoid stuf
fing at mealtime. Excess
calories means excess body
fat, which is a form of mal
nutrition.
• Don’t allow too much
time to elapse between
meals. This will cause a de
pression of the body’s func
tions.
None of the three nutri
tionists recommends taking
vitamin pills or supplements
unless a doctor advises. Ade
quate meals, regularly eaten,
will supply all the vitamins
and minerals you need.
Two other bits of advice
to go along with good eating:
Sleep regularly and long
enough.
Make sure that the air in
your home is well-moistur
ized.
Follow these instructions
to build physical resistance
to the weather, then meet the
first severe storm with
cheers.
