| John Harvey Kellogg, MD: Pioneer of Cornflakes and Wellness |
| In addition to his connection with Cornflakes, John Harvey Kellogg was also a health reformer. As medical director of the Battle Creek Sanitarium in Michigan from 1876 to 1924, he developed the sanitarium into one of the leading health institutions in the world. A strong advocate of the therapeutic values of exercise, Kellogg suggested a program that would aid digestion, control obesity, and would be a tonic for the mind and nervous system. This presentation will be an illustrated history of the exercise program and exercise apparatus developed and used by Kellogg. |
