With this Increase ? and I nust

great responsibility and moral ob

not only to their physical and eco

various other needs.
In cooperating frith the Gover

Aging, North Carolinians should
work toward a better understand
ing of the problems of o?r aging
We must Join forces at local, state
snd national levels to moot the
challenge of this age group and to

beneficial results.
It is my pleaaure, therefore, to

With lummcr on us, you will ,
hear a lot about cutting !ujuid<
and ult in your <lin U you want
to lose wright
The reduction of ult in your
diet, except under a doctor*! care,
is foolish and dangerous ? very
muck so during the summer. He
strict ion o f liquids ia of no uae
whatever. If you cut down on li
quid* ia ? few days you will lose
pounds rapidly. However, your
weight will go right back up a*
som as your thirst causes you to
return to your normal intake of
i water.
Water ia essential to life. You
ca|i go without food for weeks, but
you die of thirst .within a few jlays.
Our bodies are seventy per cent
water.
If you do not drink enough li
quid, your body will extract and
retain the water you must hava
from the "solid" food* you eat.
This will interfere with elimina
tion and other important body
processes.
Remember cutting down on li
quid! causes a certain loss of wa
ter?not fat. In fact many doeton
ad viae an increased amount at li
quids during ? reducing diet.
