9. Light Eaters Vs. Heavy Eaters

The light eater has muscles of better quality, and his strength and endurance have been repeatedly shown to be greater. He thinks more quickly, more accurately and clearly, has more reserve power, and lives longer. He also escapes the aches and pains that (sooner or later) fill the lives of heavy eaters. (Dr. Shelton, Human Life, Its Philosophy and Laws, pp. 240-241.)

Temperate eaters have good digestions, and never think about  their stomachs.  Heavy eaters are troubled with thirst, bloat, acidity (and all kinds of disorders), and are constantly "popping pills" to obtain relief (spelled R-O-L-A-I-D-S).

Sometimes, overeating may produce an appearance of health, with no overt symptoms (as yet!), and a well-rounded appearance, but it cannot compare with the strong, enduring, true health of the properly nourished body.
