Some Kitchen Kinks: Exercise

Exercise. Just this simple but important suggestion: Each person must have during each day a fair amount of rather vigorous exercise of the large muscles of the body. By this I mean the muscles of the trunk.

These muscles are closely related to the most important organs of the body and the latter depend upon the muscles for their vitality. Bending the body forward and backward at the hips and sideways and twisting at the waist are very valuable exercises. Walking and slow running are exceedingly important, especially if indulged in until they cause deep breathing and perspiration. Of course outdoor exercise is best. Hill climbing is splendid, especially for a weak heart, if done with frequent intervals of rest. Everyone should have a favorite outdoor recreation aside from and different from his daily work.
