Changes in Body Weight
To the layman one of the most obvious indices of the value of a given diet would be the changes in body-weight, for it is commonly believed that any increase in body-weight indicates ample, if not excessive, nourishment, and that a decrease is evidence of insufficient nourishment. For experiments of long duration, such as are commonly made on domestic animals when feeding or fattening for market, this is a remarkably good index.
Introducing Vitamin A
There are three vitamins– A, D, and E-which dissolve readily in fats and are found only in certain fats which our foods contain. They do not, in general, occur together. Vitamin A is abundant in cod liver oil, butter fat, and milk fat; in the glandular organs of animals, such as the liver, kidney, sweetbread, etc.; and in all yellow pigmented vegetables. It never occurs in white vegetables, such as the potato, white turnip, apple.
All About Minerals
Sodium and chlorine fall markedly after copious perspiration, protracted physical effort and in hot weather, thus causing fatigue, cramps, and insomnia. Under these circumstances previous taking of salt increases endurance. sLosses of potassium must also be compensated by administration of that element, which is also indicated in hypoglycaemic conditions following intense muscular fatigue.
Is salt intake necessary during the fitness efforts?
Since the work of the Scandinavians, Hermansen and Saltin, we have known that water loss by perspiration leads to a significant loss in muscle power. Habitual long-distance athletes are no longer unaware that the intake of water during effort, thanks to refreshment stations along the course, enables them to struggle effectively against the effects of dehydration, especially if it is hot, there is little wind, the hygrometer reading is high and the pace particularly sustained.
