Healthy Home May Help Keep the Weight Off

Filed under: Health News — Tags: , — admin @ 6:00 PM

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) — If you’ve lost a lot of weight and want to keep it off, ban­ish­ing high-fat foods and get­ting rid of your TV sets might help, along with eat­ing less and stay­ing active, new research hints.

Researchers found that peo­ple who had lost weight and had main­tained a nor­mal weight for 5 years were much more phys­i­cally active than obese peo­ple who hadn’t lost weight and were also being bet­ter able to con­trol their food intake.

The Foods You Eat Will Minimize or Maximize Your Health

Basi­cally, your food’s job is to fill your phys­i­cal needs; but it can’t do it com­pletely unless it gives stim­u­la­tion to the appetite and delight in the eat­ing, and leaves a feel­ing of con­tented sat­is­fac­tion that makes for bet­ter diges­tion. Remem­ber, the food you eat becomes your body’s fuel — and becomes you!

Mod­er­a­tion is closely tied to the art of good eat­ing. Exces­sive eat­ing dulls the appetite and appre­ci­a­tion. No food remains “good” food when overindul­gence gov­erns the appetite, mak­ing you slug­gish, sleepy and over­bur­den­ing your diges­tive sys­tem! Nutri­tional sci­ence alone is not enough. It must be blended with inspi­ra­tion, art and healthy imag­i­na­tion. For those who have never learned to blend sci­ence and art in their every­day eat­ing, this book is writ­ten with the hope that it will guide them firmly onto the path of a healthy eat­ing lifestyle, with healthy foods for a long, healthy, happy, ful­filled life!

Over-Fueling the Body Is a Slow Killer!

Excerpt from Bragg’s Healthy Lifestyle Book — Chap­ter 4

Some peo­ple eat as though they were going to do the hard­est kind of phys­i­cal labor! A seden­tary per­son — by habit and con­di­tion­ing — will get up in the morn­ing and eat a heavy break­fast of cooked or dry cereal, hot cakes with bacon, eggs, but­tered toast and a stim­u­lat­ing bev­er­age like China tea, cof­fee or mucus-forming milk. Wild ani­mals never drink milk after they are weaned. Only domes­ti­cated ani­mals will, but vets advise you not to give milk to your pets. We do not approve of milk drink­ing by adults — nei­ther raw nor pas­teur­ized. It is amaz­ing how you will have less mucus, runny noses, post­nasal drip, etc., once you cut milk and its prod­ucts from your diet. Your daily jour­nal pro­vides proof of changes hap­pen­ing to your human machine!

These same peo­ple then go to work in an office, store, etc., and sit or stand around all day. They will usu­ally have mid-morning snacks and then at noon they will eat a heavy meal: bread, meat, a dessert and a bev­er­age like a sug­ared soft drink or cof­fee. In the mid-afternoon they again have snacks and more sug­ared drinks. Then at home they have their biggest meal of the day; con­sist­ing of meat, pota­toes, bread, dessert and a bev­er­age. Typ­i­cally they end their day watch­ing TV — while eat­ing another snack! This kind of daily habit­ual over-eating is mak­ing mil­lions of sick, fat, exhausted peo­ple. This habit is send­ing them to doc­tors, clin­ics, hos­pi­tals and too many to an early grave! Sad Facts: mil­lions are sick and grossly over­weight and it’s all due to unhealthy lifestyle habits.

The per­son liv­ing the aver­age, inac­tive life can’t pos­si­bly burn up these large amounts of food! So what hap­pens to peo­ple who eat this way? You know as well as we do that they are sick or half-sick for most of their entire lives. They fill the doc­tors’ offices, phar­ma­cies and hos­pi­tals with all their health prob­lems brought on by their unhealthy lifestyles. Mil­lions more end up in old people’s homes, con­va­les­cent and men­tal facilities.

Don’t Clog the Pipes of Your Body

Filed under: Bragg Book Excerpts — Tags: , — admin @ 5:00 AM

Excerpt from Bragg Healthy Lifestyle Book — Chap­ter 1

Our body is really a great plumb­ing sys­tem. We are made up of small pipes, medium-sized pipes and large pipes like the gas­troin­testi­nal tract, which is 30 feet long. Through the gas­troin­testi­nal pipe, from the mouth to the rec­tum, flow the food and drink we consume.

There is a great mir­a­cle mus­cu­lar sys­tem within the gas­troin­testi­nal tract that pro­pels the food slowly down and out­ward. To keep this mus­cu­lar action effi­cient, the food we eat must con­tain bulk, mois­ture and lubri­ca­tion. This is sup­plied by coarse raw veg­eta­bles such as cab­bage (red & green), car­rots, beets, cel­ery, turnips and radishes, etc. All raw veg­eta­bles con­tribute to strengthen the mus­cu­lar action along the gas­troin­testi­nal tract. We call raw veg­eta­bles and raw fruits “Nature’s Broom.” They are absolutely nec­es­sary if you want to enjoy higher health and longevity! Even the Amer­i­can Can­cer Soci­ety and the United States Sur­geon Gen­eral agree: eat­ing fruits and veg­eta­bles is impor­tant for the pre­ven­tion of cancer.

In our opin­ion, every dis­ease — no mat­ter what its sci­en­tific name — is basi­cally caused by the clog­ging of the human pipe sys­tem! Any local­ized symp­tom is there­fore merely the result of a local clog­ging by the buildup of toxic waste poi­sons at that par­tic­u­lar point. Any part of the pipe sys­tem can become clogged. The #1 killer of them all in Amer­ica is “Heart Dis­ease,” the accu­mu­la­tion of mat­ter (cho­les­terol, fats, tox­ins) that clogs the car­dio­vas­cu­lar sys­tem and the heart! Yes, this is the world’s most deadly dis­ease — hard­en­ing of the arter­ies. The vicious toxic mate­r­ial that hard­ens the arter­ies can com­pletely block them so that your vital life-giving oxy­genated blood can­not pass through. Hard­en­ing of the arter­ies does not hap­pen overnight; it takes a long time to develop this fatal con­di­tion! Yet, recent stud­ies show that some peo­ple start to get hard­en­ing of the arter­ies at a very early age. The cause is their unhealthy lifestyle!

Living This Lifestyle You Will Gain Super Energy

Filed under: Bragg Book Excerpts — Tags: — admin @ 6:00 AM

Excerpt from Bragg’s Healthy Lifestyle Book — Chap­ter 4

When you give up break­fast you will be thrilled and have all the more Super Energy to enjoy! In our per­sonal lives, my father and I do most of our cre­ative work in the morn­ing. And when it’s time for our daily phys­i­cal activ­ity — such as hik­ing, swim­ming, ten­nis or other sports — we are still filled with vital strength. Remem­ber, it takes a tremen­dous amount of energy to digest a heavy break­fast. You can­not put your energy in two are­nas at once, into both food and activ­ity. Peo­ple often won­der why we accom­plish so much between 6 a.m. and noon.

It’s because we have not dis­si­pated our Vital Force on a big break­fast. Our daily Apple Cider Vine­gar Cock­tail, whole or juiced fruit or the Bragg Healthy Pep Drink is all we need — and we both have inex­haustible super energy! You Must Earn Your Food By noon you are ready for the first meal of the day. You have earned it. You have used both men­tal and phys­i­cal energy.

Always start this first impor­tant main meal with a large health salad con­sist­ing of coarse veg­eta­bles — all raw (grate finely if chew­ing prob­lems, etc.). Make the base of your health sal­ads from “Nature’s Broom” veg­gies — chopped or grated cab­bage, car­rots, beets and cel­ery. To this base you can add any fresh, raw organic veg­eta­bles you desire: broc­coli, cau­li­flower, turnips, cucum­bers (with their unwaxed green skin), let­tuce, radishes, pars­ley, peas, avo­cado, toma­toes, green onions, mush­rooms, red and green pep­pers or any other fresh, raw vegetables.

Top this won­der­ful mix­ture with a fresh salad dress­ing made of Bragg Organic Raw Apple Cider Vine­gar (with the “Mother” enzyme), honey and Bragg Organic Olive Oil. Always eat your fill of raw salad first! Never let hot food touch your mouth until you have fin­ished your health salad! The salad is the inter­nal broom, puri­fier and strong fighter that pushes tox­ins out. Tox­ins just have to move out of the body when these live nutri­ents in the raw sal­ads get to work.

Thy Food Will Be Thy Remedy! — Hippocrates

Filed under: Bragg Book Excerpts — Tags: — admin @ 5:00 AM

Excerpt from Bragg’s Healthy Lifestyle Book — Chap­ter 1
Click book title for more information.

On the Chios Island (now Khios) in clas­si­cal Greece 2,500 years ago, Hip­pocrates, the bearded physician-teacher — father of med­i­cine, sat in the shade of an Ori­en­tal plane– tree on a beau­ti­ful hill­side. There Hip­pocrates taught and enlight­ened his med­ical stu­dents with these bril­liant, fac­tual and age­less words of wis­dom so needed today. Your Food Will Be Your Rem­edy … No one, to date, has more elo­quently described a healthy way of life! The entire Tox­i­c­less Diet, Body Purifi­ca­tion and Heal­ing Sys­tem is based on this one vital truth. This Sys­tem is based on the prin­ci­ple that with healthy foods and fast­ing you can cleanse, purify and rebuild your body and find per­fect health again. Yes, food can be your med­i­cine! My father, over the course of his entire, long life­time, proved that within fruits and veg­eta­bles are the amaz­ing nat­ural reme­dies for most of man’s phys­i­cal prob­lems. The med­ical pro­fes­sion insists that it strives to emu­late the Father of all physi­cians. Indeed, it requires its prac­ti­tion­ers to take the Hip­po­cratic Oath, one of the most sub­lime dec­la­ra­tions of lofty ethics ever writ­ten. Yet today there are thou­sands of ded­i­cated bac­te­ri­ol­o­gists, phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal researchers and chemists sit­ting in gleam­ing lab­o­ra­to­ries through­out the world, busily turn­ing out syn­thetic, so-called “magic” drug panaceas for every human mis­ery. Unlike the wise Hip­pocrates, their unwise bat­tle cry appears to be: ” Thy rem­edy shall be our newly invented won­der drug.”

“Fast Relief” Claims Mis­guide Amer­i­cans
TV, movies and videos are schools of wrong liv­ing, pro­mot­ing junk foods and fast reme­dies, as well as crime, killing and the low­er­ing of our morals and fam­ily prin­ci­ples! We must all protest! This unhealthy and unwhole­some phi­los­o­phy is accel­er­at­ing the down­fall of America’s health and fam­ily prin­ci­ples! Look at the TV com­mer­cials — the old and new reme­dies flash on the screen. We have all heard claims of Get fast relief for headaches, with this rem­edy or the other. Fast relief for acid stom­ach, heart­burn and indi­ges­tion. If your joints and mus­cles hurt, take this fast, fast rem­edy. Not only TV, but also radio, news­pa­pers and mag­a­zines are full of reme­dies for all kinds of human phys­i­cal and men­tal ail­ments. The unhealthy and anxiety-ridden Amer­i­cans by the mil­lions obey the per­sua­sive mes­sages of TV ads that cost the drug com­pa­nies mil­lions. Peo­ple are made to believe that they can pur­chase health and energy at the drug­store in bot­tles filled with mir­a­cle drugs, pow­ders, liq­uids and pills. They didn’t know that health can be found only by obey­ing Mother Nature’s and God’s Healthy Lifestyle Laws. Ail­ing, sickly peo­ple today are con­stantly look­ing for an instant “cure-all”, some mir­a­cle sub­stance that will restore their lost health and youth! This Tox­i­c­less Diet, Body Purifi­ca­tion and Heal­ing Sys­tem is the intel­li­gent way to fol­low the clear-cut Laws of Mother Nature.
