5.0 out of 5 stars Heart Disease is Nothing to Brag About, October 19, 2006

By 

Patty Apostolides "Author" (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bragg Healthy Heart, Revised: Keep Your Cardiovascular System Healthy & Fit at Any Age (Paperback)

Having experienced heart disease first-hand in three close relatives, and seeing the crippling effects of this debilitating disease (taking lots of medicines and their side effects), I thought I knew everything about the disease, particularly the treatment side - the drugs, the surgeries, the stents. But I didn't know that much about the prevention side, and that is what this book is all about. How to prevent it.

I was curious about what the authors Paul and Patricia Bragg had to say about preventing heart disease. So I bought this easy to read book, and have learned quite a bit from it. It is packed with plenty of practical advice, including facts about heart disease and longevity. As I read the topics on stress, exercise, different studies and vitamins, I realized that this book was more than a book on cardiovascular fitness. It was a wonderful book that encompassed a healthy way of life, that anyone could utilize. This book is for everyone, not just heart patients.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book, particularly the fasting for a day. This is a not a new concept for me - fasting. However, the type of fast that is described - an 8-10 glass water fast, with 3 glasses water with vinegar and honey, was intriguing. They explained that during the fast, toxins will be released from the body, and people will experience such things as headaches, diarrhea, etc. but that it will go away over time. I I especially liked it when they stated that the cholesterol will drop as a result of the fasting. So I tried the fast, and I tested my cholesterol. To my amazement, my cholesterol (which is typically borderline) was around 173. I will try it once more in the future to verify the findings.

Although I agreed with most of the material in the book, there is one section that I defer on - the authors tout that distilled water is the best water to drink. I personally like reverse osmosis water because it is more effective and removes even more chemicals than does distilled water.

Finally, one interesting story I liked was when Paul Bragg taveled the world looking for centenearians, and found a man in Turkey who was 154 years old and still working as a baggage porter. He was healthy and his simple diet consisted of dates, olives, day old black bread, garlic, vegetables and tea.

This book is definately worth reading and I recommend it highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars You Have Just One Pump, February 13, 2001

This review is from: Bragg Healthy Heart, Revised: Keep Your Cardiovascular System Healthy & Fit at Any Age (Paperback)

Healthy Heart describes how specific diet and exercise will keep your heart working longer. To see what this book covers, see the Table of Contents on the bar to your left.

Do not be confused by the low price on this book. Health Science prints in such large quantities, they can afford to keep their prices low. Millions of copies of Bragg books are in print.

Paul Bragg started the health food movement. His Daughter, the Amazing Patricia Bragg, is accelerating their tradition of promoting the healthy lifestyle. She publishes a number of health-nutrition books and markets her own brand of apple cider vinegar, olive oil and aminos. See her picture on the bottles.

I have known Health Science and Patricia Bragg and have followed her healthy lifestyle program for over 20 years.

As the author of 113 books (including revisions and foreign-language editions) and over 500 magazine articles, I highly recommend Health Science books to anyone not tired of living. [e-mail].
