Chapter Three

How the body Is Nourished

Our Bodies are composed of many kinds of material. There is one kind of material in the bones, another kind in the skin and another kind in the nerves. Whether awake or asleep, some parts of the body are always moving and are continually wearing out.

Material is needed to repair this wear and waste. This repair material is found in the food we eat. Our bodies get from the food we eat the energy that enables the heart to beat, and the arms and legs to move, And each organ to do its appointed work.

No matter whether the whether be hot or cold, Our bodies are always warm. This heat that keeps the body warm also come from 
the food we eat. From this we see that the food we eat serves two important purposes. First, it supplies the body with heat and energy. Second, it supplies the material for the repair and growth of the body.
