''Diet and Food: Considered in Relation to Strength and Power of Endurance, Training and Athletics'' is a comprehensive guide to the impact of nutrition on physical performance. Written by Alexander Haig, a physician and advocate of the ''uric acid theory'' of disease, the book explores the role of different foods and diets in enhancing athletic performance and endurance. Haig argues that a diet rich in protein and low in carbohydrates is essential for building strength and stamina, and provides detailed advice on meal planning and nutrient intake for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. The book also includes sections on the benefits of fasting, the dangers of overeating, and the importance of hydration for optimal physical performance. With its detailed scientific analysis and practical advice, ''Diet and Food'' is a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their athletic abilities through proper nutrition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
