TAKE EXERCISE, but

A few home-truths by a Wimpole Street Doctor on the wrong way to "Keep Fit."

.

T is astonishing how few people grasp the fact that there is a tremendous dif- ferenco between keeping hearthy and keeping fit. The human body is a delicately in- adjusted mechanism of anile complexity.

While it will uncomplainingly endure a vast number of abuses for a long period, sooner or later there comes the time when the part which has been most con- sistently overtaxed will give way under the strain.. And

is the damage

often then irreparable.

Let us consider first the case of the man who must keep At as an essential part of his job-the pro- fessional athlete.

His life consists of keying him- self up for a series of tremendous physical efforts. He is continually under the supervision of an expert trainer, his training periods are carefully controlled so as to bring his body gradually into a condition which will enable it to put out its maximum power,

Feasons takes things very easily, and only indulges in the lightest forms of exercise. *

Yot in spite of all this care, his one nightmare is that he should "go stalo "—that is, his over- strained system goes on strike and

moments, be endeavours to attain the strength and endurance of the professional athleto by his immoderate devotion to some re- gime which, he is convinced, is a panacea for all human ills.

Three major tragedies arise from this type of obsession. To begin with, his body probably has some special idiosyncrasy which rently does need some extra stimulus of a certain kind,

H

TE proceeds (n) to give his

unfortunate body far more of that stimulus than any human being could suc- cessfully tolerate; and (b) to assure his friends and acquaint- ances with apostolle fervour that they, too, are in need of this stimulus.

-The third tragedy is that if only. he had observed the golden rulc of modemtion in all things he would almost certainly have bene- fted his health and achieved the real at which he was aiming.

I am aware that I shall raise a storm about my head if I dare to criticize exercise in any shape or form, but the fact regrettably re- mains that most exercise fanatics

do themselves more harm than good.

While they are young they can stand it, but so tow of them heed the warning of the passing yenro, and moderate their energy to suit their failing powers..

Bo we get those terribly common disabilities of middle ago the thickened enlarged heart, the

arteries, the impaired kidneys and, in their train, rheumatism, Indi- gestion, acidity, and all the other allled troubles.

It is pride, more than anything else, which encompasses the down- fall of the exercise fanatic. He cannot bear the thought that he is growing older, he boasts that he is still as good as a youngster half his age, so he is heedless of the warning given by the feeling of exhaustion which comes after his exercises.

I do not for one moment suggest that exercise In moderation in any- thing but admirable. The danger of the "keeping ft" fetish is that It invariably seems to lead its de- votees into immoderation: Nothing could be better than a reasonable. all-round physical development.

The day comes when it is impos- sible to take sufficient exercise to keep those huge muscles in con- ⚫dition,

As can be chally demonstrated a draught of cold air lowers thi powers of resistance of the body and gives the disease germs which are always present in't a better chance of multiplying.

This does not mean that a cold will invariably follow, but that the body has to throw all its forces into the struggle to ovořcomo the disease germ. It may be success- ful for a time, but sooner or later It will succumb.
