in a Nutshell
excess of protein in the form of meat, eggs, or to decay (stasis or stagnation) in some part of the colon. Such a condition always breeds disease and indicates need for a "change of flora."
SLEEP AND REST.
42. Sleep eight hours each night. If not strong, or if neurasthenic, take a nap before dinner. Growth, assimilation, and repair are most active during sleep.
43. Surroundings at night should be quiet. Sleep amid noise is not normally refreshing.
On the side is the best position during sleep for most persons. Change sides.
44. The bed should be neither too hard nor too soft. Avoid feather. The covers should be dry, warm, light and porous. Avoid overheating by excess of clothing. Use a thin pillow and discard bolsters.
45. When asleep, always breathe outdoor air supplied by means of wide open windows, a window tent, a fresh-air tube, or a sleeping balcony. Do not sleep within two hours after eating.
46. Make the weekly Sabbath a day of complete rest from work. Spend most of the day out of doors if possible. Take a half-day off for an outing in the middle of the week.
