3. THE BODY BEAUTIFUL
The necessary basis of
a beautiful woman is a
body so fit and
healthy that clothing
seems to drape
effortlessly upon it.
4. Remember that a
figure is in its best
proportion when the
largest part of the
bust and the largest
part of hips measure
the same. Following
this rule, your
waistline should be
ten inches smaller
than hips and bust.
5. A proper diet and
adequate exercise can
normalize weight
quite rapidly while
you are young and will
establish healthful
patterns for the
remainder of your life.
6. THE BODY BEAUTIFUL
Well – toned muscles
are not only necessary
for a beautiful body,
but for supporting the
skeletal bones in a
correct posture.

body alignment and
figure control. It is
also necessary to
practice some tummy
– tightening and spine
– straightening

your daily routine.

confidence with self –
consciousness. The
factor towards an
aligned body also
contributes to your
grace: proper
exercise, improved
posture, and correct
body weight.

sense of calmness as
well as a mental and
physical presence.
Graceful movement is
free of tension, self-
absorption, and
pretension.

Grace is also a state of
mind, assuredness
and balance of
knowing you have it
all together, whether
mentally in what
you’re about to say or
physically in you
movements or
materially in you
dress.
11. THE BODY BEAUTIFUL
To achieve good
posture you must first
discover you bad
habits and reprogram
your brain to become
alert to the body’s
correct positioning.
12. THE BODY BEAUTIFUL
The head leads the
body in all natural
movements. One of
the secrets of having
the head control the
body is to imagine a
large balloon fastened
on a string attached
to the top of your
head.
13. THE BODY BEAUTIFUL
Do not ruin your
perfect posture by
wearing high heels

waste materials fast.

posture.

Chin up (parallel to the
ground). This reduces strain
on neck and back.
Shrug once and let your
shoulders fall and relax your
shoulders slightly back.
Suck in your stomach.
Tuck in your behind and rotate
your hip forward slightly. This
will keep you from arching
your back
33. Sitting
A lady who moves with grace
and elegance is a woman of
poise and beauty. But such a
woman is not too common
these days, and lucky you are
if you hold one of the most
cherished graceful manners
of traditional women - the
graceful way they sit.
34. How to Sit Gracefully
Step as close to the front of
the chair as you can. Turn and
prepare your body for the
sitting posture.
As soon as your back leg
touches the chair seat, slide
one foot back then gracefully
lower yourself into the seat,
slightly sideways. Your
weight should be carried by
the thighs of your back leg,
not with your knees.
Sit up straight with legs
together and heels slightly to
the rear. You can sit with legs
in front of you, angle your
knees to either left or right
side, or cross your ankles, but
never sit with legs apart, it's a
mortal sin to poise. If you're
crossing your legs at the knees,
there should be no space
between the heel and the
other ankle.
35. How to Sit Gracefully
Place your hands
together on your lap.
Lengthen your spine, free
the neck, and balance the
head above the
shoulders. In short, sit
tall.
36. GOOD FOOD HABITS
Eat slowly, chewing food
thoroughly. Food should
be eaten slowly, and
should be thoroughly
masticated.
Eat regularly. Regularity
in eating is of vital
importance. The stomach
cannot properly handle a
delayed meal.
Eat nothing between
meals. Never should a
morsel of food pass the
lips between meals.
Eat in cheerful
surrounding and with
pleasant table
conversation. A merry
heart does a good like a
medicine.
37. GOOD FOOD HABITS
Drink water abundantly
between meals. Drink
freely, it (water) helps to
supply the necessities of
the system, and assists
nature to resist disease.
Drink freely of pure soft
water.
Use simple methods of
food preparation. If you
regard your life, you
should eat plain food,
prepared in the simplest
manner.
38. GOOD FOOD HABITS
Cook to preserve food
values. There is a way of
combining and preparing
food that will make it
both wholesome and
nourishing. There is such
a thing as robbing the
body of nutrition.
Be sure fruits and
vegetables are in good
condition. More die by
eating decayed fruits and
decayed vegetables
which ferment the
stomach and result in
blood poisoning, that we
have any idea of.
39. GOOD FOOD HABITS
Use mainly natural sweets
instead of sugar. Be
moderate in the use of all
sugars. The free use of
sugar in any form tends
to clog the system, and is
not infrequently a cause
of disease.
Use natural foods. Grains,
fruits, nuts, and
vegetables constitute the
diet chosen for us by our
Creator. These foods,
prepared in as simple and
natural manner as
possible, are the most
healthful and nourishing.
40. A Balanced Diet
A balanced diet is one that
contains all the nutrients
needed by the body in the
right amount in a single meal.
Protective foods like fruits
and vegetables make the
eyes clear and bright, the
skin rosy, the hair glossy, the
gums, teeth, and bones
strong and healthy.
Body – building foods such
as milk, chicken, fish and
other protein rich foods
keep the muscles firm and
strong.
Water is also important in
having a balanced diet. It is
essential for regulating body
processes and body
temperature.
