The abdominal region contains nearly all of the vital organs of the body. Therefore it is impera- tive that the muscles which cover them and hold them in their cor- rect positions should be strong and elastic. These very muscles aid the organs to carry on their na- tural functions and thus permit you to be healthy, If you allow them to grow weak and sag into what is termed "a protruding stomach" you not only have a wretched figure, but you are in- viting poor health.
A little will-power will do, won- ders to flatten your midriff. As you walk and sit, consciously draw in your stomach by inhaling quick- ly and raising your bosom.

strengthens the stomach muscles, and it is one every woman should do daily at home.
Lie flat on the floor, arms at sides and stretch your feet down ‘and your head up. In other words "grow tall" which you are lying on the floor. On one count bring yourself up to a sitting position with feet about two inches above the floor and arms stretched out at shoulder level.
All the work is done with the stomach muscles; Do not push yourself up with your arms. Learn to rise up in a rocking motion and balance on the end of your "spine, feet off floor, back straight, chín lifted, shoulders high. It is dif ficult at first but keep trying for once you master it your stomach muscles are that much stronger and your stomach within three weeks will be much, much less ob- vious!
Before going on this reduc ing diet get approval from a physician.
