Thus it is with the Lapps. The reasons why the Lapps are so healthy are:

The absolute purity of the air – I myself was as if reborn.
1. Well cooked food.
3. Cold food. Cooked food is allowed to cool – they do not rush helter-skelter at their food.
   4. The absolute purity of the water.T

4. ranquillity of mind. As in the Golden and Silver Ages: no strife, no excessive anxiety whether about their kin or about money.
5. None of the heavy eating favoured by farmers, who eat until their coats burst before they are satisfied.
6. Only occasional use of spirits; it would be even better if there was none at all.
7. Adaptation to the cold and endurance learnt from early years.
8. Meat eating: carnivorous animals live longer.
