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?

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!

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.

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.
