What to Eat and When
CHAPTER I
PURPOSES OF FOOD

T HE purposes of food are:


To supply the material out of which the body may rebuild the
tissues.
To produce heat, and to liberate muscular and mental energy.
Every particle of body substance is constantly changing. The new
material for cells and tissues, the substance to supply the energy
needed in the metabolic work of tearing down and rebuilding, the
energy used in the digestive process of converting the food into
condition to be assimilated, and the energy used in muscular, brain,
and nerve movement must all be supplied by food.
Every effort of the brain in the process of thinking, every motion,
and every muscular movement requires energy which the food must
supply.
The body is composed of a vast number of cells varying according
to the tissue or organ in which they are found. The characteristic of
all living matter is that it constantly reproduces itself. Cells perform
their appointed work, wear out, and must be replaced by new ones
or derangements follow.
The new cells constantly being formed, increase in size and in so
doing push the worn-out, dying, and dead cells out of the way. The
process of building and eliminating continues within the body and on
its surface every instant of life.
An idea of the number of dead cells constantly being thrown off
from every part of the body may be gained by noticing the amount of
dead skin cast off. The fine scales of “scarf” or “dead” skin, which we
easily rub off in a friction bath, are composed of these dead cells
which have been crowded out by the hosts of vital cells constantly
forming beneath. The process is the same in every tissue and organ.
The dead or worn-out matter within the body is burned by oxygen
and put in condition to be carried by the blood to the organs of
elimination, the kidneys, intestines, lungs, and skin.
Much waste is eliminated in liquid form through the sweat glands.
It is said that stokers throw off four pounds of water and waste a day
through the skin.
In the growing child the process of building and of eliminating is
active and rapid. In the youth it is less rapid, in the adult still less, but
unless the process is kept active, stagnation and death ensue.
Daily exercise is necessary to keep up the body activities; yet very
few take the trouble to secure daily a complete, thorough circulation
of blood, especially through the vital organs and the deeper tissues.
Perfect circulation is the key-note of health.
Activity of any kind necessitates the expenditure of energy. The
process is a chemical one and in all chemical processes heat is
necessary to cause the decomposition of elements and their
recomposition into different substances.
Heat in its turn has two functions. It enables the chemical changes
to be carried on which fit the food for the use of the various tissues,
and it burns to an ash the worn-out products of the body’s activity,
fitting them for elimination.
It keeps the tissues flexible and the secretions fluid; coagulation
takes place when the secretions become cold.
As previously stated, food in the body, then, is needed for two
purposes:
(1) to build and maintain the cell until its work is done;
(2) to furnish the heat necessary to decompose the food into its
elements, and to produce the energy by which all the body
processes are carried on.
That the food may be appropriated by the body it
must be not only proper in kind and quantity, but Food Elements
the body must also be in condition to digest,
absorb, and assimilate it and to eliminate the waste, otherwise the
body needs are not met.
It is the nourishment which the body assimilates and appropriates
to its needs which counts in food economy, not necessarily the
amount consumed.
Therefore if the food is to economically serve its purpose, the body
must be in a condition to digest and assimilate it—this condition
depends largely on perfect circulation, correct position of organs,
and correct breathing habits.
Of the fifteen to twenty substances contained in foods and
comprised in the body, the principal ones are oxygen, hydrogen,
carbon, nitrogen, chlorin, sodium, potassium, magnesium, iron,
calcium, phosphorus, and sulphur. The differences in the forms of
matter lie in the proportions in which these elements are combined.
Those containing the largest proportion of nitrogen are called
Nitrogenous foods or Protein—such as meat, eggs, and some
vegetables.
Those containing the largest proportion of carbon are known as
Carbonaceous—such as cereals, sugar, and fat.
The four food elements, indispensable to life, either of plant or
animal, are oxygen, hydrogen, carbon and nitrogen.
Carbon combined with oxygen forms carbon dioxid.
Oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxid largely form the air.
Oxygen and hydrogen form water.
Calcium, iron, magnesium, sodium, and potassium are used in the
formation of the various tissues and secretions of the body.
The substances contained in living organisms are the same as
those in inorganic matter, only in different complexities as
appropriated to the needs of each organism.
The difference between living and non-living matter is in the
relative proportion and arrangement of the same elements.
Before it is fit to supply the needs of the body, the raw material
must undergo a chemical change.
It has been demonstrated by scientific investigation that no
unorganized elements, such as pure nitrogen, pure iron or
magnesium, are assimilated by the system and converted into its
various structures.
While the body needs carbon, it cannot use coal; it needs nitrogen,
yet it cannot appropriate it to rebuilding bone and muscle, until, by
chemical action with other elements, it has been converted into
complex substances called proteins.
The muscles, ligaments, and labor-performing structures contain
the largest amount of nitrogen.
The fat contains the largest amount of carbon.
The brain, the nerves, and the bones contain the largest
proportion of phosphorus compounds.
Yet, while the brain contains phosphorus, and the tissues nitrogen,
the brain cannot be built up by eating elementary phosphorus, nor
the muscles by pure nitrogen, but compounds rich in phosphorus or
nitrogen may be utilized.
Plants use the simple compounds of the earth, air, and soil, and,
within their own cells, build them up into such complex substances
as starch, sugar, protein, fat, and salts, putting them in condition for
man and other animals to appropriate to their use.
All plant life is compounded from the elements in the soil, air, and
water, by the action of the sun’s rays. The rays of heat and light store
something of their power in latent heat and energy in these plant
compounds.
The end of plant life is the completion of its compounds—when it
has matured them, the plant dies.
All organic matter is thus formed by the action of the sun’s rays on
inorganic matter.
The gluten of wheat is formed from the chemical union of nitrogen
in the air and nitrogen in the soil with other substances.
The starch of wheat and other grains is from carbon which the
plant has taken from the soil and combined with other substances.
All meats are largely derived from plants which have appropriated
the elements from the soil, water, and air. The chemical processes of
the animal convert the energy latent in the plant foods into the more
concentrated form of meat. The animal thus performs a part of the
chemical work for man—the digestive organs of one animal convert
the food contained in certain plants, into a substance more easily
assimilated by another animal.
Man would need to eat a large amount of nitrogen-containing
plants in order to get as much protein as is contained in one egg or
in a piece of lean meat the size of an egg. It is because the nitrogen
is in such condensed form in meat and eggs that one is likely to take
more than the system can handle, if he eats too freely of these two
foods, particularly of meat. We will discuss this question more fully
under “Proteins.”
Most domestic animals take their food elements from air and
water, as well as from the compounds which the plants have formed,
while wild animals and some domestic ones, such as hogs and
chickens, make use of meat as well.
The greater part of muscle, nerve, and gland is composed of
protein.
When the muscles are exercised constantly they use up their
protein and must have it resupplied, or the muscle substance will
waste. When the muscles are exercised freely, as in the laborer, or
the athlete, they need more building material.
The skeleton is composed largely of deposited salts, as calcium.
If, therefore, the growing child be not supplied with a sufficient
amount of this substance, the bones will be weak and liable to
deformity and the teeth will be slow in coming or will be small and
malformed. Children need foods rich in lime.
The elements which supply heat and keep up muscular activity are
starches, fats, and sugars.
It must be apparent to every thoughtful person, that, since the
nerves, muscles, and glands are composed largely of protein and
the skeleton largely of calcium salts, in order to furnish the body with
the elements necessary for growth and repair, all of these elements,
as also the energy-producing substances, must be provided.
Each individual, therefore, should learn how much he requires to
replace his daily waste, both for rebuilding tissue and for supplying
heat and energy.
The day laborer, though he may do more muscular work than an
athlete in training, expends scarcely any nervous energy. Therefore
he needs less protein in his diet than one does who expends both
nervous and muscular activity, as does the athlete.
CHAPTER II
CLASSIFICATION OF FOOD ELEMENTS

B Y foodstuffs are meant the chemical elements appropriated by


the animal for the use of the body, as previously described.
By foods are meant those articles of diet found in the market which
contain the chemical elements used by the body in various
combinations. Bread, for example, contains all of the foodstuffs and
has been called the staff of life, because it sustains life. This refers to
bread made from the whole of the grain. White bread, as commonly
eaten, is not the “staff of life.”
Foods may contain elements, not foodstuffs, and not used by the
body, but cast out as waste. Certain foods, such as sugar, corn-
starch, olive oil, and egg albumin, contain only one foodstuff, as will
be noted in the following classification, in which the foodstuffs are
grouped according to the body uses.
The classification of foods is based on the principal organic
foodstuffs they contain. The preponderance of the elements in any
one food determines its chief use in the body.
It will be remembered that the chief uses of foods are to produce
heat and energy, to build the tissue of the growing child, and to
repair the tissues in the child and the adult.
Nearly all foods are made up of a combination of substances.
The following tabulations give the classification of foods based on
their predominating elements.
Nitrogenous foods:
Lean meat
Eggs
Gluten

Carbonaceous foods:
Sugars
Starches
Root and tuberous vegetables
Green vegetables
Fruits
Fats
Carbo-nitrogenous foods:
Cereals
Legumes
Nuts
Milk
Vegetables are mixtures of sugars and starches;
Fruits are mixtures of sugars, vegetable acids, and salts;
Milk, legumes, cereals, and nuts contain a more equal division of
sugars, fats, and proteins, and are therefore represented as carbo-
nitrogenous;
Lean meats, with the exception of shellfish, contain no starch, but
all meats contain protein, fat, and water.

Water Corn-Starch
Inorganic
Salts Starches Sago
Tapioca
Carbonaceous Glucose
(producing Cane Sugar
Sugars
heat & energy) Syrups
Honey
Foodstuffs
Lard
Organic Fats Olive Oil
Butter
Egg Albumin
Nitrogenous Proteins Gluten
(for growth Lean Meat
and repair)
In the above tabulation, examples are given of foodstuffs which
are almost pure representatives of their classes.
Corn-starch, sago, and tapioca are practically pure starch,
containing very little of any other element;
Glucose, cane sugar, syrups, and honey are almost pure sugar;
Butter, lard, and olive oil are nearly all pure fat;
Egg albumin, gluten of flour, and lean meat are almost pure
protein.
As previously stated, however, no food contains but one element
of foodstuffs.

NITROGENOUS FOODSTUFFS OR PROTEINS

Protein is a complex combination consisting of seventeen


elements. The digestive organs split up protein into these seventeen
substances, and they enter the blood thus split. When they reach the
tissues, each tissue selects the elements it needs and recombines
them according to its own peculiar functional uses.
Meat and eggs contain the complete protein.
Protein exists in all vegetables, but few vegetables contain protein
which is made up of the whole seventeen substances, hence more
vegetable food has to be eaten to secure the protein in the quantity
and combination necessary to maintain life.
Of these seventeen elements the predominating ones are
nitrogen, sulphur, and phosphates. The predominance of nitrogen
has given the proteins the name nitrogenous.
Proteins are the tissue builders.
In this connection it may be well to state that blood is a tissue; thus
meat and eggs build the blood, as well as muscle and sinew.
All nitrogenous foods contain considerable carbon—mostly in the
form of fat in the meat elements—but the carbonaceous foods
contain so little protein that the protein elements do not appreciably
enter into the nutrition.
Carbon and nitrogen in the carbo-nitrogenous foods are about
equal in proportion.
The nitrogenous or protein elements in the body constitute about
one-fifth of its weight. They form the basis of blood, lymph, muscle,
sinew, bone, skin, cartilage, and other tissues.
Worn-out body tissue is constantly being torn down and eliminated
and the protein in the foods must daily furnish material for repair, as
well as for building new tissue.
A young animal’s first need is for growth, as it has not learned to
exercise sufficiently to use much latent energy. The first food it
receives is an animal product—milk to babes and other mammals—
while the young chicken or bird is nourished by the yolk of the egg
contained within it. Sufficient yolk substance remains within the chick
when it is hatched to sustain its life for the first day or two.
Nitrogenous foods are more concentrated and contain less waste;
thus a smaller bulk is required than of vegetables and fruits.
According to recent experiments, the average adult requires from
two to four ounces of nitrogenous foods a day, to repair the waste.
Happily, when more is consumed, the system has the power up to a
certain limit (depending on the physical condition and the daily
activity), to eliminate an excess.
It is needless to say that if the daily waste is not replaced,
digestion and nutrition suffer. The system must have the two to four
ounces necessary to supply the nitrogen daily excreted, or the
tissues themselves will be consumed.
The proteins, of which meat is the principal member, are classified
as:
Albuminoids: albumin (white of eggs), casein (curd of milk),
myosin (the basis of lean meat and gluten of wheat);
Gelatinoids: (connective tissue of meat);
Extractives: (appetizing and flavoring elements).
If protein material is taken into the body in excess of its needs the
excess is used as fuel. While vastly more expensive, an excess of
protein is worth no more as fuel than starch is; 1 gram of protein
produces 4.1 calories of heat, no more than 1 gram of starch.
The proteins produce heat and energy when the supply of sugars,
starches, and fats is exhausted, but proteins alone form muscle and
the larger part of blood and sinew. They are, in this sense, the most
important of foods; they are also the most costly.
An excess of protein, usually eaten in the daily intake of food,
then, is of no practical use and can be eliminated with great benefit
to the pocketbook. Meat once a day is sufficient. The excessive
consumption of meat can be lessened with no lack of nutrition to the
body. The trouble is that meat is the first thing thought of for a meal;
it is easily prepared and housewives are not willing to use the
thought and effort necessary to secure a balanced meal without it.

CARBONACEOUS FOODSTUFFS

The carbonaceous foods are those used by the body for heat and
energy and are so named because they contain a large proportion of
carbon—the heat-producing element.
It is the carbon in wood, which, uniting with oxygen, produces heat
and light.
The carbonaceous foods are all composed of carbon, hydrogen,
and oxygen, the difference between them being in the different
proportions in which these elements are combined.
They are divided into two classes, Carbohydrates and Fats.

The carbohydrates embrace the sugars and


starches and include such substance as the Carbohydrates
starches of vegetables and grains (notably corn,
rice, wheat, and the root vegetables), and the sugar of milk, of fruits,
vegetables, and the sap of trees. Their chief office is to create
energy.
The starches are converted into sugar, so they are together given
the one name of carbohydrate. The name means that carbon and
hydrogen are contained in them in such a proportion that when
oxygen unites with the hydrogen, water is produced and the carbon
is liberated. In this chemical process heat is produced. One gram of
carbohydrate produces 4.1 calories of heat.
They are almost entirely absent from meat and eggs, the animal
having converted them into fats.
When the digestive organs are in a normal condition
carbohydrates are easily digested.[2] They do not play a large part in
the growth of the body tissues, but they are utilized by the body to
spare the consumption of the fat which is stored in the tissues as a
reserve. This explains their action in preserving but not producing
fat. When there is an excess of fat and the desire is to reduce, the
carbohydrates should be limited that the body may call on the
reserve fat for heat and energy.
Few realize that after the starches and fats have been consumed
in heat and energy the tissues are consumed.
The assimilation of the carbohydrates is almost complete, so that
the energy derived from them may be closely calculated.

SUGAR

There are many varieties of sugar. Those commonly used as


foods are, cane sugar (sucrose), fruit sugar (levulose), sugar of milk
(lactose), sugar of malt (maltose), sugar of grapes or corn (glucose),
maple sugar, honey, and saccharin—a coal-tar product. They are
derived from plants, from trees, and from tubers or other vegetables.
Cane sugar (sucrose) is derived from the juice of the sugar cane
and from beets. One-third of the world’s supply of sugar is derived
from the sugar cane and two-thirds from beets. From two to ten per
cent. of sucrose may be obtained from the maple tree. It is also
found in the sugar pea.
All sugars are carbohydrates—carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen—
the oxygen and hydrogen being in the proportions which form water
(two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen).
Brown sugar is granulated sugar in an early stage of refinement.
Maple sugar is obtained by boiling down the sap of the maple tree.
It is often adulterated with other sugars or with glucose from corn,
because they are cheaper. This adulteration does not make it
unwholesome, but causes it to lose its distinct maple taste.
The nutritive value of sugar is said to be about ninety-five per cent.
Glucose was formerly derived almost entirely from grapes. Later
the process was discovered by which the starch in corn was
converted into glucose. It is produced so much more cheaply from
corn that this is now the chief source of supply.
Glucose is also found in most of the fruits, in combination with
other sugars. It needs little change to be absorbed by the system
and quickly overloads the digestive apparatus if much of it is eaten.
It is pure, wholesome, and cheap, and for this reason it is often
combined with other sugars. It is not so sweet as cane sugar, though
just as nutritious. Many of the syrups on the market are made from it.
Candy is often made from glucose instead of from molasses or
cane sugar.
Much candy, unless one is actively exercising, tends to produce
indigestion.
While glucose is wholesome, it ferments readily.
Before sugar can be used by the system, it is changed into the
easily absorbed form of the sugar in grapes, by a ferment in the
small intestine. Hence digested sugar in the body is called grape
sugar.
Milk sugar needs less chemical change than other sugars and is
taken almost at once into the circulation. It is contained in the natural
food for the infant.
The digested sugar (grape sugar) is further changed in the body
into glycogen. When an excess of sugar or starch is consumed, it is
stored within the body as glycogen, until required.
Sugar is perhaps a better food than starch, because less force is
required for its digestion and it is easily assimilated, being more
readily converted into dextrose than are starches.[3] Moreover it
furnishes the heat and energy needed by those having small power
to digest starch.
Sugar is soon oxidized, and, for this reason may be eaten by
those who need to use an extra amount of muscular strength, or to
get strength quickly. It yields heat and energy within thirty minutes
after eating, and in times of great exertion or exhausting labor, the
rapidity with which it is assimilated gives it advantage over starch.
Because it is so quickly converted into energy it is valuable for
children at active play.
Experiments with soldiers on forced marches, and in Arctic
explorations, have shown the value of sugar as a food, in enabling
the men to withstand hunger, thirst, and fatigue. Taken in excess,
however, particularly by those of sedentary habits, it clogs the
system as does any other excess of material, creating difficulties for
the liver and kidneys.
During muscular activity, four times as much sugar is consumed in
the body as is ordinarily used in the body processes.
Used in limited quantities, therefore, according to the muscular or
brain power exercised, sugar is one of the best foods for the
production of energy.
When much sugar is eaten the starches and fats in the food
should be lessened to avoid overloading the system.
When eaten in excess, sugar may temporarily appear in the urine
unaltered.
It might be inferred that, as all starch must be converted to sugar
before it can be used by the body, starches might be discarded and
replaced by sugars. A small quantity of sugar, however, soon surfeits
the appetite, and if the foods were confined to those having a surplus
of sugars, sufficient food would not be eaten to supply other needs of
the body. This lack of appetite occasioned by an excess of sugar is
due, partly, to the fact that the gastric juice is not secreted so freely
when there is much sugar in the stomach.
Because of the slower secretion of gastric juice and the surfeit of
the appetite occasioned by them, sweetened foods should not be
used at the beginning of a meal, and, while a moderate amount of
sugar is desirable, a surfeit will cause indigestion. This is particularly
liable when one eats sufficient starch and sugar at a meal and then
eats candy between meals.
Sugar is so readily oxidized and supplies heat and energy so
promptly, that the fats stored in the tissues are not called on until the
latent energy in the sugar is used. The power of sugar to fatten thus
lies in sparing the use of body fat; when starch and fat are used in
addition to sugar an excess of fat quickly results. Therefore, those
who wish to reduce in flesh should eat sparingly of sugar that the
starches and fats may be used to furnish energy, but sugar should
be as freely used as the system can handle it, by those who wish to
build up in flesh.
Broadly speaking, about one-fourth of a pound of sugar, daily, in
connection with other foods, is well utilized by the system, the
quantity depending on whether one leads an active or a sedentary
life.
The natural flavor of fruits and grains is very largely destroyed by
sugar, which is used too freely on many articles of diet. Sugar should
never be added to fruits while cooking, if intended for immediate use,
as the acids of the fruits neutralize a portion of the sugar. More sugar
is thus used than is needed after the cooking process is completed.
The sweet taste in all fruits and vegetables is due to the presence
of sugar. Sweet potatoes, beets, carrots, parsnips, turnips, grapes,
figs, and dates are especially rich in sugar, and when these are
furnished with a meal, in any appreciable quantity, the starches
should be restricted—notably bread, Irish potatoes, and rice.
