To get ahead in the world
you need more than ability,
personality and experience.
You also need good health.
Nowadays the vital im-
portance of the right diet for
good health is being more
widely recognized. Thus
more and 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.
To 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.
A few minutes spent daily in
setting -up exercises is espe-
cially beneficial to those with
sedentary jobs. Long, brisk
walks are also recommended.
Above all, have your physi-
cian give you a complete
check-up every year.
All this may have a fami-
liar ring. But I have repeated
these suggestions here be-
cause they can do so much to
help you win success.
Just as health measures
safeguard your physical fu-
ture, life insurance safeguards
the financial future for your-
self and your family. During
the past 10 years the life. in-
surance companies in Canada
paid out an average amount
of $400,000 to policyholders
and beneficiaries every day.
