WHAT TO EAT IN SUMMER
p By Edwin F. Bowers, M. D.
Author of “Side-Stepping 111 Health,”
I etc.
As the warm weather comes on,
you expect your gas charges to go
down and your coal bill to dwindle
to the vanishing point. Not every
one realizes that there ought to be
’ corresponding saving in his body
fuel during the hot months—that sit
ting down to a dinner of roast pork,
baked beans, and mince pie on a
July day when the thermometer reg
isters 99 degrees in the shade is just
as foolish a proceeding as it would
be to stoke up the furnace on that
day with a roaring fire.
The longing for fruit and acids
in the summer, and the lack of appe
tite for heavy roasts, fats, starches,
and sugars, constitute a definite in
dex of a normal dietary during this
period.
Dates, figs, raisins, prunes, grapes, i
plums, peaches, pears, melons, cher
ries—in fact, most varieties of fruits
and berries—are wholesome and nu
tritious, and are particularly valuable
for women and children, and those
who do not exercise much.
It might be well to remember also
that fruit which is packed in clean
air- and dust-tight receptacles is far
less likely to “spoil” when it reaches
the stomach, than is loose fruit, j
which has industriously collected all
the spare dust and germs in its
neighborhood. Perhaps the “goods”
are a trifle less expensive, purchased
in bulk, than they are when bought
in clean, sanitary packages; but their
use is much more likely to be fol
lowed by a hurry call for the fam
ily physician.
And while it may be by poet’s li
cense that “an apple a day keeps the
doctor away,” yet it can not be de
nied that it may materially help.
For apples contain soda, potash,
magnesia, and phosphorus—indispen
sable food elements. The natural
acid is also helpful to the gums, teeth,
stomach, and intestines. A sweet,
pulpy, ripe apple is usually digested
without trouble.
Nutrition in Fruits and Berries
Fruit and berries have also a very
high nutritive value. They are real
foods, not merely “fillers.” Apples,
peaches, apricots and pears, and
strawberries, cherries, raspberries,
gooseberries, and currents, are par
ticularly rich. It would be very dif
ficult to starve with plenty of these
available.
Perhaps, however, pineapple juice
is the most wholesome of all fruit
products. It has digestive properties
of a high order—in fact, there are
several digestants on the market, the j
base of which is extract of pineapple. I
Pineapple seems also to set up a
healthy action in the mucous mem- J
brane of the throat and stomach.
Raw fruit juices (in combination
with the sugar the fruit contains) of
ten relieve a craving for alcohol. In
fact, a very successful recent method
of treating alcoholism is to give an
alcoholic an apple every time he
wants a drink. If he will eat the
apple almost invariably he’ll lose his
“hankering” for the drink.
There are many people, however,
who can not eat raw fruit without
suffering great discomfort. These
people should invariably stew or
otherwise cook all fruit.
