The Discovery of Health

Filed under: Bragg Book Excerpts — Tags: , — admin @ 5:10 PM

Excerpt from Bragg’s Healthy Heart Book — Chap­ter 6
Click book title for more information

Health has some­times been defined as phys­i­cal uncon­scious­ness. Not all phys­i­cal uncon­scious­ness is health, but the great­est com­pli­ment we can pay to the func­tion­ing of our body is to be unaware of it because it is run­ning so smoothly. Most young peo­ple do not real­ize there is such a thing as health because when young, most have it in abundance.

With the pas­sage of years, how­ever, we tend to become aware, thus more health-conscious. The adage is so often true that says: You spend your Health to gain your Wealth. In later life, its reverse proves true: You spend your Wealth to regain your Health. The health-conscious per­son usu­ally becomes so only after get­ting sick, and we are of the opin­ion that most peo­ple over 50 are a lit­tle sick. There would be no such thing as health if it were not for the lack of it. Most peo­ple begin to dis­cover health’s exis­tence just when they need it the most. While health con­scious­ness may be the result of impaired vital­ity, let us sug­gest this applies only to the com­mon vari­ety of health and health consciousness.

Invest in Your “Health Bank” for Com­fort, Secu­rity and Hap­pi­ness
Higher Health is essen­tially con­scious or rather, it’s con­scious of its uncon­scious­ness. It is health pride, some­thing you should truly cher­ish. It’s a will and a desire man­i­fes­ta­tion to live a long, happy, active and healthy life. Can you think of any greater com­fort, secu­rity and hap­pi­ness than that of per­pet­ual sound health? Or that any of your loved ones need never be stricken with an early death from heart dis­ease? Or that no one need die at an early age, unless by an unfor­tu­nate accident?

Love and Survival

Filed under: Bragg Book Excerpts — Tags: , — admin @ 3:39 PM

Excerpt from Build a Pow­er­ful Nerve Force — Chap­ter 1
Click book title for more information

Famous Dr. Dean Ornish, M.D. states how you feel emo­tion­ally can affect you physically:

“In my work with car­diac patients over the last 20 years, I am con­vinced that love and inti­macy are at the root of health and ill­ness; there is such a thing as the heal­ing power of love.”

UC Berke­ley Sci­en­tists stud­ied patients who were under­go­ing coro­nary angiog­ra­phy. Those who felt the most loved and sup­ported by fam­ily and friends, had sub­stan­tially less block­age in the heart arter­ies. These find­ings are sim­i­lar in Swedish research. More than 1,700 men and women between the ages of 29 and 74, were stud­ied for 6 years. Those who were more iso­lated with low emo­tional sup­port were four times more at risk of dying pre­ma­turely. Clearly, sci­en­tific stud­ies have proven that the capac­ity to nur­ture and be nur­tured — to have a lov­ing heart is a vital link to a long and healthy life!

If we will only let her, Mother Nature will com­fort us and bring us joy. Let us try to under­stand her with the minds of ser­vants … but enjoy her with the open and glad hearts of chil­dren. To have over­all pow­er­ful Nerve Force we must learn the great Laws of Mother Nature and live by them. That is what this book is all about. Its pur­pose is to show you how to live by the Laws of Mother Nature and God and reap the rewards of Health and Hap­pi­ness. The king­dom of heaven is within you! Make your heaven here and now!

By trust­ing in Mother Nature and obey­ing her laws, under­stand­ing your phys­i­cal machin­ery and the way to care for it, you can build a pow­er­ful Nerve Force that can bring you unbe­liev­able hap­pi­ness! No mat­ter how low you feel men­tally, phys­i­cally and emo­tion­ally, know that the body is a self-cleansing, self-repairing, and self-healing instru­ment. Give your body a chance and its recu­per­at­ing vital forces can make you a new healthy person!

Our book gives you a pro­gram for healthy and reward­ing liv­ing. When you fol­low The Bragg Healthy Lifestyle you can build a strong and healthy heart. This takes you down the path to increased con­fi­dence, cre­ativ­ity and vital­ity! Please remem­ber, you can always strive to live a more healthy, pos­i­tive life. In build­ing a health­ier and stronger heart don’t for­get the mirac­u­lous heal­ing gifts avail­able from Mother Nature’s king­dom. For thou­sands of years peo­ple around the world have used herbs and plants as med­i­cines, ton­ics and reme­dies. Many of them are renowned for increas­ing heart health. Today, sci­en­tific research sup­ports the tra­di­tional use of many of these med­i­c­i­nal plants. Herbs such as gar­lic, ginko, hawthorn, bil­berry, gotu kola and rose­mary have been tra­di­tion­ally used and sci­en­tif­i­cally researched for the treat­ment of heart and cir­cu­la­tory con­di­tions. Here’s a brief descrip­tion of some of the most effec­tive herbs. In addi­tion to The Bragg Healthy Lifestyle, make use of these mir­a­cles of the plant world or your heart’s health and fit­ness. Remem­ber to con­sult your health care pro­fes­sional before sub­sti­tut­ing herbs in a pre­vi­ously exist­ing con­di­tion. 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.

Rich American Diet Is a Killer

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

Excerpt from Bragg’s Healthy Heart Book — Chap­ter 3
Click book title for more information

Ath­er­o­scle­ro­sis is not brought on by age, but by diet! Autop­sies of the Amer­i­can sol­diers killed in bat­tle in the Korean War revealed the shock­ing fact that 77% of these sol­diers (aver­age ages 18–22) already had ath­er­o­scle­ro­sis! In con­trast, the Kore­ans and other Asians who died on the same bat­tle­field, under the same con­di­tions, had only an 11% inci­dence of this dis­ease. It’s well known, the tra­di­tional Asian diet is low in sat­u­rated fats. The U. S. is a nation of fat-eaters. Sat­u­rated fats make up 40% of the caloric intake of the aver­age Amer­i­can diet. Most of these are the com­mer­cial, hydro­genated fats — the most clog­ging, deadly of all fats and are not nat­ural in any sense of the word. It’s such a solid fat that it can­not be bro­ken down by the body’s 98.6°F heat. The best nat­ural, unsat­u­rated fats break down at body tem­per­a­ture and don’t cause clog­ging prob­lems. These are per­ish­able foods and don’t have a long shelf life. In time, these unsat­u­rated fats take on oxy­gen and become ran­cid, which gives off a strong odor and bit­ter taste.

Beware of Sat­u­rated, Hydro­genated Fats!
Hydro­genated, sat­u­rated fat remains sta­ble because it’s imper­vi­ous to oxy­gen. In real­ity, it is embalmed fat! The Amer­i­can con­sumer has been brain­washed by the greedy, large man­u­fac­tur­ers into believ­ing that they are per­ma­nently fresh and healthy! A con­tainer of this processed fat will keep in the house for years, because it’s impos­si­ble for it to turn ran­cid. Clever adver­tis­ing says these sat­u­rated, hydro­genated, snow white, processed (erro­neously called veg­etable) short­en­ings will not smoke. They also make other clever sales claims which have no rela­tion what­so­ever to good nutri­tion. The same applies to unhealthy mar­garine made to imi­tate but­ter. So — instead of the nat­ural, unsat­u­rated fats that will aid health — Amer­i­cans con­sume deadly hydro­genated, sat­u­rated fats, high in cho­les­terol that coats and clogs the blood­stream, espe­cially the vital arter­ies. All this clog­ging even­tu­ally causes fatal or crip­pling clots (throm­bo­sis) into the blood­stream, caus­ing strokes.
