Hernia

This protrusion of a loop of gut through the wall of the abdomen is caused by the strain thrown on man's body by having adopted the practice of standing upright. Two per cent of British males have a hernia. Women have inherently stronger abdominal muscles and are not so likely to have a hernia.

Prevention consists of lifting heavy objects with the leg muscles rather than the back or stomach muscles and keeping the abdomen well exercised and the muscles in good tone. The latter is aided by sound nutrition.

The following juices are beneficial:

Carrot 6 f1 oz (l75ml); celery 5 f1 oz (150ml); spinach 3 f1 oz (75ml);
parsley 2 f1 oz (50ml).
