Nowadays the vital . im-. portance of the right diet for, good health is being more widely recognized. Thus more an°d'more people are eat- ing, less of the heavy, starch and protein foods and more of the vitamin -rich raw .and leafy vegetables, and fruits. As for sleep, doctors advise a minimum of eight hours rest for average adults. most of us,the idea'of taking exercise is a chore and a bore. But it is virtually im- possible to enjoy, radiant good health unless we do so. I A few minutes spent daily in Setting -up exerciseis espe- cially beneficial to ifiose with sedentary jobs. Long, brisk walks are also recommended. Above a11, have your physi- cian give you a ,,complete check-up every year. All this may have a fami- liar ring.
