Looking After your Health - the Best Prevention against Respiratory Diseases Various Causes (FOOD)
In the first place, what you eat is of the utmost importance. This has been proved by experience gained in every part of the world. It is astonishing that people living in the healthiest mountain regions, for example the Swiss Alps, where outsiders go to be cured, may actually contract ТВ themselves. Some time ago I met the warden of a ski chalet who had contracted pulmonary tuberculosis in spite of the fact that he had spent whole winters at a height of over 1,800 m (6,000 feet). However, the cause was obvious: his diet consisted of too much protein, too much canned food and too many unhealthy items containing refined white flour and white sugar. The bad air in the chalet also contributed to his illness. In those days skis still had to be waxed and the fumes from melted wax naturally increased the poisons already in the stale air. Moreover, in a misguided effort to save fuel, the windows were hardly ever opened. Yet fresh air is an absolute necessity for good health.
