MIDDLE-AGE SPREAD
AVOIDANCE WITHOUT STRAIN. “The middle-age spread, which comes to most women, myself included, could be avoided without any strain if only we were not such creatures of habit and ate less,” said Professor Winifred Cullis, of the London School of Medicine for Women, speaking at the British Social Hygiene Council Summer School. “We all go on eating the same amount of food as we grow older, although we need less. The result is that if you go on taking in food, and you don’t need it, the body stores it, which means that you put on fat. If you reduce by a very little each day the amount of food you eat, you will maintain your weight, but if you put on a stone it needs drastic means to get rid of it.”
