The quantity of food
required to maintain the body in a vigorous condition depends upon the
following conditions:
(1) climate and season,
(2) clothing,
(3) occupation,
(4) age and sex.
In civilized countries more food is eaten, as a rule, than is necessary
to maintain health and strength. Climate and seasons influence the
quantity of food eaten.
A cold, bracing atmosphere stimulates the appetite, tempts one to
exercise, while a hot climate has the contrary effect; hence the need
for more or less food.
Abundant clothing in cold weather conserves the body heat; less food is
therefore required to maintain life.
Exercise and muscular work cause greater oxidation in the tissues and
greater waste of the muscles; this must be replaced by proper food.
Outdoor work requires more food than indoor, and physical labor more
than mental.
