Don’t Worry, Be Happy-Positive Emotions Protect Against Heart Disease

Filed under: Health News — Tags: , , — admin @ 1:40 PM

Peo­ple who are usu­ally happy, enthu­si­as­tic and con­tent are less likely to develop heart dis­ease than those who tend not to be happy, accord­ing to a major new study. The authors believe that the study, pub­lished in the Europe’s lead­ing car­di­ol­ogy jour­nal, the Euro­pean Heart Jour­nal [1], is the first to show such an inde­pen­dent rela­tion­ship between pos­i­tive emo­tions and coro­nary heart disease…

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?

Walk 2 to 3 Miles Daily — It Does Miracles!

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

Excerpt from Bragg’s Healthy Heart Book — Chap­ter 9
Click book title for more information

You should try to walk 2 to 3 miles daily, and some times try dou­bling it. Don’t give your­self excuses. Make a daily walk a per­ma­nent part of your Bragg Healthy Heart Fit­ness Pro­gram — all year and in all cli­mates. Con­rad Hilton walked in the sun and rain and loved it. Regard­less of what other exer­cise you do, your daily walk is a must! Of course, you may take it in the form of golf if you enjoy this social sport. But it’s best not to ride around the golf course in an elec­tric cart! This makes a farce of the whole thing.

Walk­ing is what your heart needs. We are inclined to agree with Mark Twain, who said, golf is a good way to spoil a good walk. But, if it takes the game to make you walk, do so. The result is almost the same — health­ily func­tion­ing mus­cles and quick­ened blood cir­cu­la­tion, plus a sense of har­mony and hap­pi­ness. Although the out­doors is prefer­able — where you can get the most fresh air — indoor walk­ing is far bet­ter than none at all. In win­ter, you can try hall­ways, porches or shop­ping malls. When on health cru­sades around the world, we take an evening brisk walk through the cor­ri­dors, and up and down the stairs of our hotel. If a roof ter­race is avail­able, we pre­fer this open-air space.

To Enjoy Your Daily Walk Is Impor­tant
Your walk­ing should never be done self-consciously, no heel and toe rou­tine and no time lim­it­ing. Let it be the most func­tional and enjoy­able of exer­cises. Walk nat­u­rally, with head high, spine stretched up, chest out and tummy in. Swing your hips, arms and body into action. Walk as though your legs began at the mid­dle of your torso. Breathe deeply! You will feel phys­i­cal ela­tion and will carry your­self proudly with body erect and arms swing­ing eas­ily from your shoulders.

Move at your own pace, with a free spirit and a light heart. If you want, lis­ten to moti­va­tional tapes or music. As you walk, your body ceases to mat­ter, you become as near a poet and nature philoso­pher as you will ever be. Walk your wor­ries away! As blood courses through your arter­ies, cleans­ing and nour­ish­ing your body, you are filled with a sense of well-being that clears your mind of trou­bles and nour­ishes it with pos­i­tive thoughts. As we stride along on our hike, we say to our­selves and some­times aloud with each step — Health! Strength! Youth! Vital­ity! Love! for Eternity!

It’s ben­e­fi­cial to also take a hik­ing tour once a year. Select inter­est­ing areas which you, your fam­ily and friends would like to see, and hike about 15 miles daily. You will broaden your knowl­edge of our beau­ti­ful planet and of Mother Nature, as well as help to build a more pow­er­ful, health­ier and long-lasting heart.

Herbs — Garlic — Food Supplements Mother Nature’s Healers

Excerpt from Bragg’s Build Pow­er­ful Never Force Book — Chap­ter 2
Click book title for more information

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.
