There is a new insurance on your life, one you can buy that will add days to your life in comfort and contentment. "Ravings," you say — no; those who have come to know it have already begun it. With this insurance you pay your money for the necessary foods, and the period of youth in your life grows longer, in the opinion of nutrition experts.

Nutrition laboratories are advancing appreciably. Precise experiments have been carried out in various parts of the world, and the researchers arrived at an important conclusion that led them to this theory: with food, you delay or hasten the days of old age.

When these experts discovered the Indian region in northern Canada, they were shocked by what they saw. The women appeared twenty years older than their true age: a woman of forty had wrinkled skin and no teeth, while another looked middle-aged when she was twenty-five. The scientists found the answers in nutrition, whose effect showed in the eyes, the tongue, the gums, the lips, and then the skin.

This people lives by hunting and trapping, and its diet consists of flour, sugar, and meat — good foods, but not enough, since they do not contain all the necessary elements. Everyone eats his fill, but not of the right kind; if, alongside this, they took milk and vegetables, their average length of life would rise. Another group of scientists devoted itself to the study of tribes in southern Asia and found the inhabitants tall of stature and strong of muscle, their health advancing with the years. They live on wheat, milk, eggs, butter, fruits, and sometimes meat; that is why we see their bodies stronger than those of people who live on food-stuffs lacking "protein," vitamins, and minerals. Medical examination likewise establishes high blood pressure, decayed teeth, hardening of the arteries or appendicitis, and diseases of the stomach. Food is the difference between the two peoples. Why? Because man's body and mind depend on nourishment more than the human intellect ever imagined, until modern discoveries proved that vitamins, protein, minerals, starches, and fat are all essential for preserving the body's balance.

The game of life requires, at the start, no fewer than fifty players; you direct them and gather them from the farms. You cannot substi-tute vitamin B for vitamin D, for nature took a long time to assemble these scattered elements. That is why the nutrition experts searched night and day until at last they hit upon the vitamin in 1932.
