Re: day 2

This is how the body is replenished daily, and without food we would die, as we still cannot make something out of nothing.

Nature foreseeing possible food shortages has given us the ability to store up in the body vast quantities of this prepared pabulum, or fuel, with which to make good our needs, and in this way we can subsist without foods of any kind till the stored supplies are used, as in the protracted fast, which will be referred to later.

Thus the bear feeds well during spring, summer and autumn, accumulates stores in the form of fats, glycogens and proteins, or albumens, and then goes into winter quarters, where he sleeps for two to three months, entirely without nourishment of any kind, and comes out in the spring, still all there, but minus a large amount of these fuels with which he was provided when he began his hibernation.
