Excerpt from Diet in Relation to Normal Nutrition
I beg to present the following Report on Diet in relation to Normal Nutrition, by Dr. J. M. Hamill, one of the Medical Officers of the Ministry.
The sound nutrition of the individual and the community is the foundation of the public health. Though not wholly dependent upon the amount or quality of the food consumed, it is obvious that the food of a people is of primary importance in nutrition; other factors are effective mastication, the proper use of the dietary selected, and the capacity of the body to assimilate and make full use of the food consumed, which capacity is largely determined by a sufficiency of exercise, rest and fresh air. Whilst these important matters should not be neglected, the primary necessity is of course a satisfactory diet, and that is the subject of the present Memorandum.
