There is noth­ing bet­ter to build pow­er­ful Nerve Force than a brisk two to five mile hike every­day. You’re too old and flabby? Non­sense! Dad’s a great great grand­fa­ther and he loves to hike, jog, run, swim, ride his bicy­cle, climb moun­tains, play ten­nis and enjoys play­ing many other ath­letic sports. You’re never too old to start! Of course, we don’t expect you to plunge right in and become an ath­lete overnight! Do it grad­u­ally. Start out with a one mile hike every day for a week. Then increase it to two miles. As you exer­cise your mus­cles, your blood starts cir­cu­lat­ing briskly through your body. Breathe deeply and fill your lungs with oxy­gen. You will feel new vigor and vital­ity surg­ing through you! You will eat with a good appetite and you will sleep like a baby. Your Nerve Force reser­voirs will soon be filled with energy, go-power and you will have a new zest for living!

The more time you spend in the fresh air and gen­tle sun­shine doing phys­i­cal activ­ity, the greater your reserves of Nerve Force will be! In our long expe­ri­ence as teach­ers of health, fit­ness and longevity, we found those who exer­cise reg­u­larly have greater poise and a more bal­anced per­son­al­ity. They are also gen­er­ally free from ner­vous and emo­tional stress that plague the typ­i­cally inac­tive person.

This is appar­ent among chil­dren. The inac­tive child who refuses to join his play­mates in play, games and sports is gen­er­ally the “odd” child, ner­vous and emo­tion­ally unsta­ble. The active child who loves play­ing games and sports is almost always bet­ter bal­anced emo­tion­ally because their ener­gies are directed along con­struc­tive lines of action. The same holds true with teenagers. When their ener­gies are chan­neled into games, sports and out­door activ­i­ties, they don’t have idle time or energy to get into trou­ble. They enjoy bet­ter grades and health. In the Hawai­ian Islands, the swim­ming is so ideal that we have great fun host­ing swim­ming con­tests with young­sters of all ages. They splash and dive in the water, and their merry laugh­ter rings in the clear, trop­i­cal air! When we talk to the par­ents of these active chil­dren, we find they have absolutely no emo­tional or social prob­lems with them. No mat­ter what your age, exer­cise can do won­ders for you. It is never too late to start tap­ping the rich veins of vital­ity lying dor­mant within every per­son! If you want to be well-balanced emo­tion­ally and free of stresses, strains and ten­sions — make it a habit to get out­doors for phys­i­cal activ­ity at least once every day.

Thy Food Will Be Thy Remedy! — Hippocrates

Excerpt from Bragg’s Healthy Lifestyle Book — Chap­ter 1

On the Chios Island (now Khios) in clas­si­cal Greece 2,500 years ago, Hip­pocrates, the bearded physician-teacher — father of med­i­cine, sat in the shade of an Ori­en­tal plane– tree on a beau­ti­ful hill­side. There Hip­pocrates taught and enlight­ened his med­ical stu­dents with these bril­liant, fac­tual and age­less words of wis­dom so needed today. Your Food Will Be Your Rem­edy … No one, to date, has more elo­quently described a healthy way of life! The entire Tox­i­c­less Diet, Body Purifi­ca­tion and Heal­ing Sys­tem is based on this one vital truth. This Sys­tem is based on the prin­ci­ple that with healthy foods and fast­ing you can cleanse, purify and rebuild your body and find per­fect health again. Yes, food can be your med­i­cine! My father, over the course of his entire, long life­time, proved that within fruits and veg­eta­bles are the amaz­ing nat­ural reme­dies for most of man’s phys­i­cal prob­lems. The med­ical pro­fes­sion insists that it strives to emu­late the Father of all physi­cians. Indeed, it requires its prac­ti­tion­ers to take the Hip­po­cratic Oath, one of the most sub­lime dec­la­ra­tions of lofty ethics ever writ­ten. Yet today there are thou­sands of ded­i­cated bac­te­ri­ol­o­gists, phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal researchers and chemists sit­ting in gleam­ing lab­o­ra­to­ries through­out the world, busily turn­ing out syn­thetic, so-called “magic” drug panaceas for every human mis­ery. Unlike the wise Hip­pocrates, their unwise bat­tle cry appears to be: ” Thy rem­edy shall be our newly invented won­der drug.”

“Fast Relief” Claims Mis­guide Amer­i­cans
TV, movies and videos are schools of wrong liv­ing, pro­mot­ing junk foods and fast reme­dies, as well as crime, killing and the low­er­ing of our morals and fam­ily prin­ci­ples! We must all protest! This unhealthy and unwhole­some phi­los­o­phy is accel­er­at­ing the down­fall of America’s health and fam­ily prin­ci­ples! Look at the TV com­mer­cials — the old and new reme­dies flash on the screen. We have all heard claims of Get fast relief for headaches, with this rem­edy or the other. Fast relief for acid stom­ach, heart­burn and indi­ges­tion. If your joints and mus­cles hurt, take this fast, fast rem­edy. Not only TV, but also radio, news­pa­pers and mag­a­zines are full of reme­dies for all kinds of human phys­i­cal and men­tal ail­ments. The unhealthy and anxiety-ridden Amer­i­cans by the mil­lions obey the per­sua­sive mes­sages of TV ads that cost the drug com­pa­nies mil­lions. Peo­ple are made to believe that they can pur­chase health and energy at the drug­store in bot­tles filled with mir­a­cle drugs, pow­ders, liq­uids and pills. They didn’t know that health can be found only by obey­ing Mother Nature’s and God’s Healthy Lifestyle Laws. Ail­ing, sickly peo­ple today are con­stantly look­ing for an instant “cure-all”, some mir­a­cle sub­stance that will restore their lost health and youth! This Tox­i­c­less Diet, Body Purifi­ca­tion and Heal­ing Sys­tem is the intel­li­gent way to fol­low the clear-cut Laws of Mother Nature.
