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.

Excerpt from Bragg’s Vegetarian Health Recipes Book — Chapter 12

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! (Genesis 6:3)

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.

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!

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.

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.
