The key to a healthy heart is pre­ven­tion and The Bragg Healthy Heart Program.

Gar­lic — The Herb that Low­ers Cho­les­terol
Gar­lic is one of nature’s great mir­a­cles. No other med­i­c­i­nal plant is more effec­tive in the treat­ment and pre­ven­tion of ath­er­o­scle­ro­sis! No won­der there has been increased research involv­ing gar­lic and car­dio­vas­cu­lar health. Research shows eat­ing gar­lic reg­u­larly decreases serum cho­les­terol and dan­ger­ous triglyc­eride lev­els! Peo­ple who eat gar­lic reg­u­larly have health­ier arter­ies and blood than those who don’t. This is why peo­ple in France, Greece, Italy, etc. (who tra­di­tion­ally eat lots of gar­lic) have a lower inci­dence of heart attack and dis­ease than peo­ple in the United States.

Ginkgo — Improves Blood Flow to Brain
Over the last 40 years, Ginkgo has been one of the most sci­en­tif­i­cally researched med­i­c­i­nal herbs in the world today. Sci­en­tists know that Gingko Biloba (leaf) Extracts (GBE) dilate arter­ies, cap­il­lar­ies and veins, which increases blood flow.Therefore GBE reduces blood clot­ting and clog­ging of the arter­ies. GBE’s strong car­dio­vas­cu­lar ben­e­fits are local­ized in the brain. Increas­ing evi­dence sup­ports the GBE effec­tive­ness in treat­ing ail­ments asso­ci­ated with too lit­tle blood flow to the brain (such as short-term mem­ory loss, senil­ity, short atten­tion span and depres­sion). Look for GBE sup­ple­ments in health stores.

The Importance of Exercise

Excerpt from Bragg’s Healthy Lifestyle Book — Chap­ter 7

You have roughly 640 mus­cles and all these mus­cles must be used! If you do not use them, you lose them! If they are not used, they then start to lose their tone, strength and flex­i­bil­ity! Exer­cise need not be vio­lent and there are hun­dreds of ways to exer­cise the human body. The best and great­est of all exer­cise is brisk walk­ing: no spe­cial equip­ment is required except good walk­ing shoes. You can walk vig­or­ously, swing­ing your arms, for a good work­out or just take a stroll. When you walk and breathe in deeply as you stride along you are build­ing Vital Force and stim­u­lat­ing the elim­i­nat­ing and cleans­ing processes. After walk­ing, swim­ming is the second-greatest exer­cise. Any sport that brings into play the mus­cles of the body can be part of your daily healthy lifestyle. Ten­nis and even gar­den­ing are con­sid­ered won­der­ful exercise.

You should also have a 20 to 30 minute daily exer­cise pro­gram of stretch­ing, aer­o­bics, etc. and breath­ing exer­cises. The best exer­cise for the lower abdomen and lower back mus­cles is to lie on your back and raise both your legs up slowly to a ver­ti­cal posi­tion and hold for a few sec­onds. Next, slowly lower them until your heels almost touch the floor, then slowly raise back up to a ver­ti­cal posi­tion again. Impor­tant: do this exer­cise slowly and increase the rep­e­ti­tions daily until you can do 30. The best exer­cise for the inter­nal and exter­nal stom­ach mus­cles is the half sit-up crunch. Lie flat on your back with knees bent up and your hands clasped behind your head, now come up and bring elbows towards bent knees and hold for one minute. Slowly lower your back to the floor. Repeat this exer­cise daily until you are able to do 20 with ease.
