Preventing Heart Disease through Diet
A Sound Mind in a Sound Body
Shakespeare, almost 400 years ago, anticipated the dominant psychology of our time when he said, it is the mind that makes a body rich. It’s true that the mind guides the body. Likewise, the body helps the mind and links us to the Infinite Spirit of Life! When we are truly healthy, we are brim full in body, mind and spirit. (3 John 2)
Our body relates us to the Universe in which we live – the Earth. We are related to Mother Earth through the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe and the sun that warms us with its all-pervading power. All are essential for a healthy body and to the continuance of our life! All these nurturing things we need in as pure a form as Mother Nature and God have provided them, without depleting or denaturing them.
The food we eat is related to our health. Our bloodstream’s system carries essential nutrients that provide the energy and vitality for the functioning of every part of the body. What we eat at this hour today will be nourishment in our cells within 24 hours.
If we eat organic foods as Mother Nature prepared it with her own unmatched chemistry – without losing essential elements – then it will meet our requirements for the growth, health and chemical balance of the body. It will build a powerful, long lasting heart for you. It will give you an alert and active mind. Healthy food will add life to your years – and years to your life!
Thy food shall be thy remedy. – Hippocrates
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou may prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospers. – 3 John 2
Forgive and forget is the best advice for a healthy heart. Holding onto vengeful thoughts and grudges can increase your blood pressure, heart rate and muscle tension. Anger can actually thicken your blood and increase your risk for strokes and heart problems! – Natural Health
A fool thinks he needs no advice, but a wise man listens to others. – Proverbs 12:15
Correct Thinking is Important for Health
In the Book of Life, the Bible, Proverbs 23:7 tells us:
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he. When a sick person constantly convinces himself that he will never get well, it becomes almost certain that his negativity and troubles will carry him to the grave.
Flesh is dumb! We never want you to forget that statement. That is the reason we use it over and over again. The mind, your computer, is really the controlling factor in your entire makeup. Flesh cannot think for itself because only the mind does all the thinking. That is why you must cultivate Positive Thinking.
Your Mind Must Control Your Body!
The mind must have a will of iron and always be in command of the body. From this day forward learn how to substitute thoughts. When a negative thought – such as, I am losing my energy because when you get older you start to lose energy – enters your mind, replace it with positive thoughts that say, Age cannot in any way affect my energy. Age is not toxic! I am ageless!
Keep in mind always that whatever the mind tells the flesh, that is exactly what the flesh is going to believe and act upon. Your mind influences flesh. You must let your mind; make decisions for your body, because if your body rules your mind, you face a life of misery and slavery!
Are You Poisoning Your Body?
If you are eating the kind of food most Americans and people of other affluent industrialized countries eat, you are slowly poisoning yourself and dulling your brain. You are filling yourself with foodless foods and depriving your body of the natural nutrition it needs. You may also be among the many who hasten this suicidal process by adding toxic poisons such as tobacco, alcohol, coffee, tea and cola drinks.
There is a great deal of discussion in the media today about polluted air and water. What about a polluted bloodstream? Here is something you can do: Start today to detoxify your entire body and rebuild and revitalize it with healthy organic foods and healthy lifestyle living!
A Healthy Mind for Health and Long Life
What has your mind to do with health and long life? Far more than the majority of men and women realize! Think of your thoughts as powerful magnets, as entities which have the ability to attract or repel, according to the way they are used. A majority of people lean either to the positive or the negative side mentally. The positive phase is constructive and goes for success and positive achievements, while the negative side of life is destructive, leading to futility and failure. Its self-evident it’s to our advantage to cultivate a positive healthy mental attitude. With patience, persistence and living this can be accomplished.
There are many negative and destructive forms of thought which react in every cell in your body. The strongest is fear, and its child, worry – along with depression, anxiety, apprehension, jealousy, ill-will, envy, anger, resentment, vengefulness and self-pity. All of these negative thoughts bring tension to the body and mind, leading to waste of energy, enervation and also slow or rapid poisoning of the body. Rage, intense fear and shock are very violent and quickly intoxicate the whole system. Worry and other destructive emotions act slowly but, in the end, have the same destructive effect. Anger and intense fear stop digestive action; upset the kidneys and the colon causing total body upheaval (diarrhea or constipation, headaches, pains, fever, etc.).
Fear, worry and other destructive habits of thought muddle the mind! A crystal clear mind is needed to reason to your best advantage, enabling you to make sound, healthy decisions. An emotionally clouded mind often makes unwise and unhealthy decisions and might be unable to reach any positive conclusions at all!
What are the positive healthy mental forces or expressions? They are the ones that lead to peace of mind and inner relaxation, as opposed to the destructive habits which cause a tightening up of the entire system. This very second, let your mind take over your body.
A full stomach doesn’t like to think. – Old German Proverb
You are What You Eat, Drink, Breathe, Think, Say and Do! – Patricia Bragg, Health Crusader
A couple of generations ago, the only known main elements of food were the proteins, fats and carbohydrates – the primary building blocks and fuel supplies of the body. Since then, Nutritional Science has discovered that Mother Nature also provides many various minerals, vitamins and nutrients – which are equally essential for life and a healthy, harmonious functioning body. No one can be 100% healthy if this vital balance is disturbed, and yet it’s constantly being tampered with by humanity. To give foods a longer shelf life in stores, certain elements are depleted and/or preservatives are added, thus changing the natural food content. These denatured foods, and even natural food, can become further devitalized by improper preparing, cooking, etc.
It’s been said Americans are the most overfed and undernourished people in the world. And this is the main reason why the #1 Killer – Heart Disease – is having a field day in the United States! Don’t you be a victim!
