Some of the thinner ones look on this tendency to fill out with a great deal of satisâ€" faction, especially if the scales tell them they are approaching the averâ€" age weight for persons of their age and inches. Even physiclans and heal workers have often assumed that those tables of average weights, which we frequently see published on a card beside the scales, are the normal weights. They have considered that the body machinery of adults who were 20 per cent. or more above or beâ€" low these figures was more or less seriâ€" ously impaired. " Now, however, the mortality experiâ€" ence of insurance companies has deâ€" monstrated that these average weights may not be the best weights. Their statistics show that when we follow these average figures we may just be taking our ideas from the bad habits of the big majority. In weights, as in ~other things, there is sometimes danâ€" ger in following the crowd. For as persons grow older they seem inclined to take in more food, especialâ€" ly proteins and fats. They also beâ€" come less inclined to wholesome exerâ€" cise. The foodâ€"using machinery is reâ€" quired to do more work, but is kept in less good condition to do it and a breakdown of the organs concerned in these processes is hastened. The result is the great mortality from diseases of the heart, blood vesâ€" sels and kidneys. So many have negâ€" lected the restriction of diet and the exercise which can avert these trouâ€" bles that the getting up to the average weight is not an approach to normaley. Those average figures are padded with the fat of those who have eaten not wigely but too well. For the persons about thirty the average weight does represent the best weight. But persons beyond thirty have the best chance of dodging the Grim Reaper if they are below the average weight. The amount below the average which is most favorable increases with advancing age. At fifty, individuals appear to be at their best when their weight is as much as thirty to forty pounds below the average. On the other hand, an excess of about ten pounds in weight above the average produces the most favorable rates between the ages of twenty and UNLESS you see the name "Bayer" on tablets, you + are not getting Aspirin at all The Unsafe Average.
