Many years ago Samuel Johnson sang the joys of eating and concluded with this comment: "I look upon it, that he who does not mind his belly will hardly mind anything else."
For more than four decades of writing, lecturing and consulting, 1 have tried to show what science has so thoroughly proved, that he who "minds his belly" and applies adequate nutrition profits in a vast number of ways: physically, in a feeling of well-being and the fun of engaging in vigorous activities; mentally, through an acquisition of energy that leads to such side effects as good reading, good conversation, good humor; emotionally, in that physically healthy individuals are often more stable, mature and compassionate than unhealthy ones.

Life has not always been easy for any mind-your-belly advocate. Some folks still sneer at the idea of good nutrition. They think that health-building foods are unpleasant to taste, and that people who talk about nutrition are faddists. But many others have become tired of being sick. And it is especially delightful that thousands of young people are turning to wholesome foods.
Unfortunately, my many activities pertaining to nutrition have not allowed nearly enough time for the personal things I enjoy. On the precious days when I am home, therefore, I make a point of catching up on favorite pursuits: tennis every morning I can with my husband, Frank; sewing and perhaps a bit of painting; singing in the choir at our local church; and reading our volumes of Reader's Digest Condensed Books.
Condensed Books occupy a special place on our shelves and in our lives. Other books are usually put aside whenever a new volume arrives. Condensed Books offer recreation, of course, but more than that: there is a special pleasure in knowing that in a single volume I can enjoy the best thoughts of authors who are among the finest of our time. Although some persons believe it is wrong to take away anything that an author has written, overwriting can be as troublesome an "ailment" as is overeating. The skilled editors of Condensed Books see to it that we rise from their table satisfied, but not gorged.
Each volume of Reader's Digest Condensed Books contains five or more outstanding books in condensed form. None of the condensations in any volume has appeared in The Reader's Digest itself. Any reader may receive this service by writing The Reader's Digest Association, Inc., Pleasantville, N.Y. 10570. Vissza
