DEPT. OF HEALTH StlSfc ISSUED BY THE K BUILDING BODIES ri ~rVI A building job slows down or stops If building materials are not available. Similarly the building up of a child’s body slows down if the building foods are not provided for it. WHICH ARE THE BODY BUILDERS? Milk and cheese, eggs, fish and all kinds of rationed and unrationed meats. Also dried peas, beans, lentils and oatmeal which, though not quite so valuable are most useful additional builders, especially when eggs are in short supply. When a building is finished, it must be kept in repair. The same building materials are needed for this, too. And when the human body is full grown, and all through life, it must be kept in repair by means of the same foods as were needed for growth. HOW MUCH BUILDING MATERIAL IS NEEDED FOR MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR? 3-4 glasses of milk daily for the child and 2 glasses for the adult; 3 or 4 eggs a week, I a day for the children, if possible; I ounce of any type of meat or fish at I year of age up to 3 ounces daily at least, for the adult. After 18 months occasionally introduce grated, uncooked cheese. In-between snacks of sweet foods cannot replace the solid building foods. YOUR FOOD DOES IT BUILD? DOES IT REPAIR? FOR A HEALTHIER NATION
