Someone who looks at this book will inevitably think -\”What will this book do for me?\” or, in the words of Ben Franklin, \”Can it bring me health (which is really wealth), happiness, and wisdom?\”
It can and will, in several ways. There\’s been a big rise in the number of health books intended for the average American. Nowadays, so many people are interested in the field of medicine and science, particularly since so many new medical breakthroughs have been achieved. Old ideas are challenged and new ideas are formed, which lead to one discovery after another. New discoveries have provided valuable information, allowing us to solve problems that seemed to have no answer before. Even a doctor with a regular job cannot always keep up with these rapid advancements in the medical field. He simply does not have the time to treat his patients and also evaluate all reports of new findings and new products that appear everyday. At the same time, he still has the duty to teach the public how to prevent illness and how to treat it when it arises.
The answer, therefore, seems to be to split the work among doctors. Each doctor should do some research and add to the nation\’s database of health information on the specific branch of medicine in which the doctor specializes. This information, whether it came from research or from doing rounds, should be as reliable and as safe as a prescription, since it is coming from a doctor with a medical license. However, you can\’t trust all books talking about health – even those written by doctors themselves – to qualify. Many are written to amuse, to exploit some medical novelty, or sometimes just to try getting attention and fame. While writing the following for the reader, the author has sought to achieve two main objectives: to increase your lifespan and to prevent critical heart disease, due to hardened arteries. The information offered here is based upon 25 years of medical practice, extensive research, and clinical experience. The low-fat diet, weight reduction, and nutritional program presented in this book are by no means a way to fix everything. However, in the opinion of the author and a large number of scientists and physicians, this program is the most effective method to prevent and/or treat what is known scientifically as atherosclerosis, the hardening of the arteries. Atherosclerosis is today\’s largest source of illness and death, and there are definite other unknown causes of hardening of the arteries in the heart, brain, and other vital organs in the body. Even worse, not much is known about these diseases and there is no treatment, other than those presented in this article. Currently, thousands of scientists and physicians are researching the various unknown causes, as well as some type of treatment for atherosclerosis. If we do arrive at this miraculous discovery someday, the methods described in this book may become forgotten, to be a historical interest at best.
However, until the cure is discovered, I believe we should use all the resources that we have now, such as the dietary and nutritional plans outlined in this book. There is just too much evidence that this practice can protect our hearts for us to stand by and wait for a cure. If you will read this book carefully, and apply the simple, easy-to-follow directions given, the author ensures that it will allow you to achieve the following:
1. ADD YEARS TO YOUR LIFE How many years depends upon your present age and weight. If you are under 20, for example, you can increase your life-span by as much as 15 years. Even if you are over 60, you can still enjoy more than two golden, \”bonus\” years. These figures are based upon actual Metropolitan Life Insurance tables, included in this book.
2. KNOW WHAT FOOD TO EAT In addition to prolonging your life by controlling your weight, correct diet can also save you from heart and blood vessel disease. Almost all heart researchers agree that when people who have defective fat metabolism eat a high-fat diet, heart disease often results. In the following pages you will find instructions, in detail, on what to eat to maintain a well-balanced diet and at the same time to avoid fat-rich foods that may undermine your health. Complete daily menus for a period of several weeks are included.
3. GAIN EXTRA ENERGY THROUGH DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS Medical research has discovered some important dietary supplements not only improve the body\’s general health but help prevent hardening and clogging of the arteries, which is what\’s behind heart attacks and strokes. The nutritional supplements combined with vitamins that are described in these articles can help you stop having fatigue, anxiety, stress, and much more. Evidence has demonstrated that millions of Americans eat three meals a day but are receiving poor nutrition. Also, many are overweight because their meals are full of fat and calories but contain little nutrition. Suffering from the symptoms of malnutrition or borderline subclinical illness, many people experience fatigue, nervous symptoms, and loss of energy. You will see the results of controlled studies of new products that my associates and I have conducted to prove their effectiveness and safety.
4. SMOKING The role that cigarette smoking plays in various diseases has been the subject of intensive research. The discussion of tobacco will answer many of your questions concerning the effect of smoking on the heart and blood vessels.
5. ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION The question of alcohol, although not as important to the prevention and treatment of heart disease as it is to some other physical disorders, is also discussed, and professional advice given for consuming it the right amounts.
6. HAPPINESS AND SUNSHINE It would not be very profitable if the years added to your life were years of unhappiness or sickness. Thus, you will also find in these articles how to deal with certain problems that come with age.
If you try hard to to absorb and follow the directions given in this book, you will be rewarded with not only great health but a few extra years of happy living. As anything that is worthwhile, it will take patience and time, but the results are so undeniably important and beneficial to everyone, especially you.
