Appropriate Foods.
People who incline to obesity may hold the tendency in check by appropriate food and stirring exercise in the open air, thus both lessening the amount of fat forming food taken into the system, and causing a more rapid consumption of such fat as is produced; and those who incline to undue leanness, by pursuing the opposite course, may largely increase the amount of fat deposited.
If the leanness is the result of digestive weakness, or of a faulty assimilation, little of course can be done until a conditiion of general health has been secured. Bui assuming that the abnormal leanness is connected with high health, the carbonaceous or fat forming food should greatly preponderate over the nitrogenous—such as beef, lamb and codfish. —Hall's Journal of Health.
