134 APPLIED PHYSIOLOGY 



SUMMARY 



1. About four ounces of each of the food elements 



albumin, fat, and sugar must be eaten daily. 



2. To oxidize this amount of food requires about twenty- 



four ounces of oxygen, which is about the amount 

 breathed in. 



3. A diet of bread, eggs, meat, milk, and butter will fur- 



nish the best food elements. 



4. If too much sugar or starch is eaten, the albumin and 



fat are not fully oxidized. 



5. If too much food is eaten, all the oxygen is used up, 



and there is none left for an extra exertion. 



6. If little or no food is eaten, not enough heat and energy 



are produced to keep the body alive. 



DEMONSTRATIONS 



59. Weigh out the different amounts of bread, eggs, meat, milk, and 

 butter which are required daily. Also measure out a quart of water. 

 This will show the class the amounts of food required daily. 



60. Weigh out the required quantities of albumin, fat, and sugar. 

 Albumin may be represented by gelatine or glue. 



REVIEW TOPICS 



1. Give the amount of albumin, fat, and sugar required 



daily. 



2. Give the amount of oxygen required to oxidize the food. 



3. Give the results of oxidizing an excess of sugar. 



4. Give the amounts of bread, meat, etc., required daily to 



furnish the body with the proper amount of albumin, 

 fat, and sugar. 



5. Give the best times for eating. 



6. Give the effects of eating too much food ; of too little.
