| Summary |
"The A.B.-Z. of Our Own Nutrition" by Horace Fletcher is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the principles of nutrition and how to achieve optimal health through proper eating habits and understanding dietary needs. It begins by proposing a method for economic nutrition, emphasizing the importance of chewing food thoroughly and being mindful of one's appetite in order to maintain health. The opening of the text discusses the vital questions around eating habits, such as whether we consume too much food, how to eat right without sacrificing enjoyment, and the potential for increased energy and health. It introduces the author's personal journey toward better nutrition by learning from historical figures like Luigi Cornaro, who practiced temperance and demonstrated the power of moderation. The introduction sets the stage for a broader discourse on nutrition, supported by scientific experimentation and the involvement of medical authorities, thereby establishing a link between diet and overall well-being.
