Alcohol has been classified as a Central Nervous System Depressant Drug
Coffee and Non-Herbal Tea are Drugs
Coffee is a harmful stimulant to the heart. It contains the drug caffeine which makes the heart beat faster and puts it under an undue, unhealthy strain. Coffee also contains tars and acids which are injurious to the heart, blood vessels and other tissues. These same agents are also present in de-caffeinated coffee. Don’t drink coffee – it has no nutrients and no vitamins or minerals! Coffee is worthless and harmful to your health! The same goes for non-herbal tea. Don’t contaminate your bloodstream with these toxic substances – tea contains tannic acid!
Study Shows Cola Drinks Toxic To Body
What do cola drinks contain? Three toxic stimulants and carbonated water! Colas contain caffeine, phosphoric acid and refined white sugar (also some diet colas contain toxic aspartame); all are toxic empty calories without any health nutrient value. They also contain carbonated water, which irritates the kidneys and the liver! Recent study says: Don’t drink colas or any sodas – and don’t let your children ruin their health with these drinks!
Life is learning which rules to obey and which rules not to obey and the wisdom to tell the difference between the two.
Alcohol is a Depressant and Killer!
Alcohol, generally considered a stimulant, is actually a depressant. It dilates the blood vessels, in time breaking the tiny capillaries, especially of the nose, cheeks, neck and ankles (example: red, swollen nose of hard drinkers). Alcohol is also a relaxant and dulls and paralyses the brain. The drinker loses good judgment and control of the body, and is therefore the cause of thousands of car accidents, crimes, killings, rapes and unnecessary deaths. Drinking alcohol is dangerous and an unhealthy way to relax!
The chief toxic effect of alcohol is on the brain and nervous system. Alcohol burns up by depleting the body of vitamin C and also B (the essential nerve vitamin). This, in combination with capillary dilation, can lead to brain hemorrhaging- which in turn, can lead to paralysis. Medical research has shown that the boisterous actions, loud speech, joviality, bravado and devil-may-care attitude of the alcoholic are actually the beginning paralysis of certain parts of the brain!
Stay away from alcohol! It is nothing but empty calories. It will burden your body with unhealthy, flabby fat, in addition to its other toxic, poisonous and injurious effects. The numbing effect of alcohol on the pain centers of the brain and nervous system is a special danger to anyone with a heart condition. Without Mother Nature’s warning signal – pain – a heart attack, which might have been averted, may prove fatal.
No Self-Drugging!
If you try to prescribe drugs for yourself, the side effects and long-term results could be serious! Even though constant TV ads keep telling us what to take to solve aches, pains, upset stomachs, insomnia, etc. It’s wise to seek advice from your alternative health care advisor and then follow the directions exactly!
The alcohol habit is most harmful and must be eliminated!
Coffee increases free fatty acid levels in the blood and causes degenerative diseases! “There is a strong likelihood that caffeine may prove to be one of the most dangerous mutagens to human life.” – Cancer Research
Mind Over Muscle
The saying, if you don’t use it, you lose it, certainly applies to the 640 muscles of the human body. When you don’t exercise regularly, your muscles lose their firm, supple tone. Over time they become soft and flabby.
If overweight, make up your mind that you want to trim down to your normal weight. This is more difficult than it seems, because the mind has a way of making excuses for an overweight body. For instance, you may say to yourself, it’s normal for me to be fat. I’m the plump type, or, I eat so little, yet I remain fat. The latter may be true – but remember it is what you eat – not how much! And it is never normal to be obese!
Your mind must control your body! Flesh is dumb and flesh is weak. Flesh often demands fatty, starchy, sugary foods. Either your mind rules the body or the body rules the mind. Be positive! Tell your body that your mind is going to be the best health captain!
Exercise Daily for a Powerful Heart
Remember that it is a lean horse that finishes the long race! If you want a long, healthy life, keep your body trim and fit. Once you have trimmed down to your normal weight through proper diet and daily exercise, there will be a huge difference in the way you will feel! You will be bubbling over with vitality and energy. You will be unafraid of life’s challenges and free from the fear of heart trouble and other illness!
Laziness is a vicious habit. Sitting too much can ruin your health and is a bad habit. You need to devote 1 to 2 hours every day to some kind of vigorous exercise. The simplest and best is brisk walking for a strong heart – preferably up and down hills, or walking up and down steps.

Duty is a matter of the mind. Dedication is a matter of the heart.
Enjoy Exercising – It’s Healthy and Fun!
There is great hiking near where we had a home in Hollywood, California, where Mt. Hollywood rises some 2,000 feet in famous Griffith Park. We enjoyed early morning hikes up the mountain to greet the sun rising and then run down. Also, in Santa Barbara, we always enjoy ocean swimming and hiking the surrounding hills.
We love to walk, jog and climb mountains. We take time to walk or jog daily, or we swim, play tennis or ride our bikes. We work out 3 times a week with a progressive weight training program, which helps keep our bones and muscles healthier and stronger.
Exercise is the greatest single factor available to us for removing any blockages and unclogging the arteries and blood vessels, and for increasing the vital flow of oxygen-enriched blood throughout the heart and body. Recent studies show that exercise can reduce the risk of developing adult-onset diabetes as well as breast cancer. The famous Harvard School of Public Health Researchers (www.health.harvard.edu/fhg) studied a group of 70,000 women. Results: 46% lowered their risk of diabetes with daily vigorous exercising and brisk walking.
