HEALTH I Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D. Calorie use varies By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D. DEAR DR. LAMB - I am curious as to the amount of ’ calories used in different jobs, in resting and activities. I am a bookkeeper and have a weight problem. If I could find the approximate number of calories used per day then I could gauge my calorie intake according to this and maybe begin to lose weight. DEAR READER - The moment of truth as to whether you are eating too much and not exercising enough is when you feel that layer of fat under your skin. If it is shrinking you are going in the right direc tion. If it is increasing, better reconsider your program. There are a lot of variables that determine the number of calories anyone uses. It even depends on how much of your body weight is fat and how much is muscle. The person with more fat and less muscle will use fewer calories at rest than another person who weighs the same amount but has more muscles. That is why body composition — not just pounds on the scales — is so important. A healthy, well-conditioned person who is not fat will use about 1500 calories a day at absolute rest — as if he were asleep. We call this basal metabolism and’ it represents about 60 to 65 calories an hour. These calories are used to keep your body in its healthy state. That includes the energy required to move nutrients into and out of cells and all sorts of chemical ac tions that must be ac complished just to maintain that wonderful machine of yours. Sitting awake will take about 100 calories an hour. Standing about 110 calories an hour. As an office worker you will be interested to know that while doing office work a 150- pound healthy person would use about 150 calories an hour —about the same number 7- POLLY'S POINTERS Polly Cramer Shower curtain is torn POLLY’S PROBLEM DEAR POLLY My plastic shower curtains have ripped right through the holes so now I have a lot ol loose curtains. Is there a quick and lasting way to lix this? —MARGO DEAR MARGO - I suggest that you apply a strip of wide adhesive tape on the back of each curtain. Place just beneath the original holes and carefully bring torn edges together on the top. Smooth tape on with a cold iron after it is in place and you will be sure every bit of the tape fits snugly against the curtain. —POLLY. DEAR POLLY - A sprinkle of sail on too sour grapefruit is far better than more sugar. — M.E.S.. an M.D. DEAR POLLY - When packing for a trip I slip my shoes in plastic bags that bread comes in and find this is an ideal way to keep dirty soles from touching clothes. —DOROTHY DEAR POLLY - Apartment living necessitates finding storage space for a variety of things and I would like to pass on a couple of discoveries I have made Stackable plastic vegetable bins will fit into a small space and can be added to when more space is needed. I store m\ food grinder, cook books, plastic lids, extra pot holders, etc in them Where to put a recently acquired double burger maker had me stumped until I thought of the oven. That has proved to be an ideal storage place along with ceramic baking dishes that were stored on a shelf way above my head However a word of caution goes with this. Put a small piece of masking tape across the oven burner switch as a reminder to remove the oven contents before turning it on I have only two kitchen drawers so silverware goes in one and other necessary small items in the other Things like measuring spoons, cookie cutters and the like are kept in two two-pound cheese boxes so they do not get mixed up with the large spoons, spatulas, etc kept in the same drawer I have no drawer for dish towels so I put them in a plastic bag that is kept in the linen closet All these have eased the annoyance of having too little storage space. - EDNA D DEAR POLLY If the lady who has trouble fastening th< back supporters on her girdle will lie flat on her back on the bed they will then fasten as easy as the front ones will slan ding GRACE WINTHROP HOW MANY CHINESE \ X N. , / 1 | epipncxj-say / a&olsv \ 'W4JJ THS2EWERTIN [ QOO WHYTHEYRE J k MIU-JON. / I I 11l [Il n W JlI O X? a_ a n ’xwl rt n oa= / vSwoirf , \9Mlb / 1 eH77 Uy HE*. me..

Walking uses about 60 calories a mile more than you would use while sleeping. Our 150-pound example, then, would use 120 calories to walk two miles plus the basal 60 calories for the hour for a total of 180 calories an hour while walking two miles. If he walks three miles in an hour his body will use a total of 240 calories. Bicycling at 5.5 miles per hour uses only around 200 calories. At a rapid rate, though, cycling may use over 400 calories an hour. Here again the variables are impor tant, speed, body weight, up hill or downhill. Calisthenics vary greatly depending on how vigorously they are done and your body weight. If you are only moving 100 pounds around the floor it takes a lot less energy than if you are moving 250 pounds. If the exercise consists only of swinging the arms it won't use as many calories as running in place or doing pushups. Swimming is good exercise and doing a crawl stroke at one mile per hour will use over 400 calories. The best swimmers use the least calories to swim a given dis tance because they are more efficient. Dancing is a wonderful form of -exercise and moderate dancing may use as many as 250 calories an hour. Since your body fat stores are eventually the net result of how many calories you take in and how many calories you use, you need to pay attention to both diet and exercise. I am sending you The Health Letter number 4-7, Weight Losing Diet to help you. Others who want this plan can send 50 cents with a long, stamped, self-addressed envelope for it.
