Vitality Supreme

Unquestionably
a
perfect
diet
is
furnished
by
nuts
and
fruits.
From
a
theoretical
standpoint
this
would
appear
to
be
ideal.
I
would
say,
however,
that
very
few
persons
can
be
thoroughly
nourished
on
a
limited
diet
of
this
sort,
and
therefore
it
cannot
be
universally
recommended.
Perhaps
the
next
diet
that
closely
approximates
perfection
would
be
a
raw
or
uncooked
diet.
This
would
include
all
the
foods
that
can
be
made
palatable
without
cooking,
such
as
nuts
and
fruits
of
all
kinds,
vegetable
salads,
cereals
and
dairy
products.
A
diet
of
this
sort
can
be
continued
indefinitely
in
some
cases,
and
where
one
can
be
thoroughly
nourished
on
this
regimen
it
can
be
highly
recommended.
Foods
in
their
raw
state
possess
a
tremendous
amount
of
vitality-building
elements.
They
are
live
foods,
consequently
they
give
one
life,
energy,
vivacity.
One
can
usually
fast
longer
with
a
smaller
loss
of
weight
and
energy
after
a
raw
than
after
a
cooked
diet.
But
in
many
instances
this
diet
does
not
maintain
the
weight
and
the
bodily
energies
at
high-water
mark;
consequently
in
such
cases
it
often
proves
unsatisfactory,
even
where
its
first
effects
are
pleasing
to
an
unusual
degree.
Nearly
all
restrictive
diets
are
valuable
for
a
short
period
where
there
is
evidence
of
overeating.
On
this
account
many
enthusiasts
who
adopt
a
restricted
diet
and
who
note
their
improved
appearance
and
general
increase
of
energy
for
a
time,
will
be
profoundly
impressed
with
the
idea
that
at
last
they
have
found
a
perfect
diet.
On
account
of
their
enthusiasm
they
will
often
continue
such
a
strict
dietetic
regimen
until
it
is
productive
of
seriously
harmful
results.
It
should
be
kept
in
mind
that
any
diet
which
is
really
adequate
for
all
requirements
will
maintain
your
normal
weight
and
your
energy.
In
other
words,
you
should
feel
well
and
look
well,
if
your
diet
is
as
it
should
be.
This
is
an
invariable
test,
and
can
be
depended
upon
absolutely.
