Mastication should be perfect. Eating should be very deliberate. Avoid heavy reading or earnest conversation while eating; these disturb the flow of saliva and prevent thorough mastication.
A cup of wheat bran, well cooked, should be taken with the morning and the evening meal about twice or three times a week.
A glass of water and the juice of a sweet orange may be taken just before retiring, and exercises as prescribed.
