Excerpt from Fads and Feeding
Food is required by the body for two chief pur poses, viz. To generate heat and to produce and maintain the structures under the influence of life and exertion. The importance of the latter is the more apparent, since wasting of the body is familiarly associated with decay of life; but the former is so much the more urgent, that whereas the body may waste for a lengthened period and yet live, it rapidly dies when the source of heat is removed, or even greatly lessened. The produc tion of heat in the body, so wonderful in the pro cess and amount, results only from the chemical combination of the elements of food, whether on the minute scale Of the atoms of the several tis sues, Or on the larger one connected with respira tion, and is thence called the combustion Of food.
