Healthy Life

1. ADD YEARS TO YOUR LIFE
How many years depends upon your present age and weight. If you are under 20, for example, you can increase your life-span by as much as 15 years. Even if you are over 60, you can still enjoy more than two golden, "bonus" years. These figures are based upon actual Metropolitan Life Insurance tables, in¬cluded in this book.

2. KNOW WHAT FOOD TO EAT
In addition to prolonging your life by controlling your weight, correct diet can also save you from heart and blood vessel dis¬ease. Almost all heart researchers agree that when people who have defective fat metabolism eat a high-fat diet, heart disease often results.

In the following pages you will find instructions, in detail, on what to eat to maintain a well-balanced diet and at the same time to avoid fat-rich foods that may undermine your health. Complete daily menus for a period of several weeks are in¬cluded.

3. DISCOVER NEW VITALITY THROUGH DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS
Medical research has discovered a number of important dietary supplements that not onlv improve the body's general efficiency and well-being but help prevent hardening and blocking of the arteries—the condition that sets the stage for heart attacks and strokes. The nutritional supplements combined with vitamins that are described in the following pages can help you overcome fatigue, nervousness, and loss of energy.
Medical science has effectively demonstrated that millions of Americans eat three meals a day but are poorly or badly nour¬ished ; many are overweight. Yet they suffer from the symptoms of malnutrition or borderline, subclinical illness. This is often expressed by feelings of tiredness, nervous symptoms, and loss of vitality.

4. KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT SMOKING
The role that cigarette smoking plays in various diseases has been the subject of intensive research. The discussion of tobacco will answer many of your questions concerning the effect of smoking on the heart and blood vessels.

5. KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT USING ALCOHOL
The question of alcohol, although not so important to the pre¬vention and treatment of heart disease as it is to some other physical disorders, is also discussed, and professional advice given for using it safely.

6. PUT SUNSHINE INTO YOUR AUTUMN YEARS
