About us

Amazing

Physiology

The Frontal Lobe

In September 1848, a

25-year-old railroad foreman,

Phineas P. Gage, was using

an iron rod to pack explosive

powder into a hole when

a powerful blast propelled

the 13-pound tamping iron

like a bullet through his head.

Amazingly, this traumatic

accident did not kill Phineas. In fact,

he regained his physical strength

and lived for another 13 years. He

also seemed mentally sound — he

could speak and do physical tasks just as well as before,

and his memory seemed unimpaired.

Yet friends and family knew he was no longer the same

man. Before the accident, he was a well-loved, responsible

worker and husband. He was known by all as a pious

and dependable man. But after the accident, Phineas

experienced a major moral decline. He became very short

tempered, rude, and foul mouthed. He started to smoke

and drink and lost all

respect for spiritual

things. It seemed as

though his ethical

filters had been

turned off.

Phineas’ accident

ended up costing him

his moral standards

and his commitment

to loved ones. Researchers have concluded that he had lost

a very important part of his brain called the “frontal lobe,” a

section of the brain that is responsible for moral reasoning,

judgment, social behavior, and spirituality. Amazingly, the

Bible even talks about a “mark” in the forehead that can

mean the difference between life and death!

Where are decisions really made?

The frontal lobe of the brain is the key

to our rational, moral, and ethical decision

making. It is the part of the brain that

defines our character, personality, and

will. Essentially, the frontal lobe is the

section of our brains that contains our

spiritual nature. Because of this, Satan

is constantly trying to destroy or

cloud this part of the brain.

31

Temperance

What happens when the

frontal lobe malfunctions?

Experts have linked frontal lobe damage with

schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive

disorder, depression, and numerous other mental illnesses.

Some of the effects of frontal lobe damage can include:

• impairment of moral principle,

• social impairment,

• lack of foresight,

• loss of abstract reasoning,

• diminished ability for math,

• lack of restraint (boasting, hostility, aggressiveness),

• memory impairment (especially of recent events),

• distractibility and restlessness,

• emotional instability,

• apathy (lack of initiative),

• and indifference to one’s condition (happy-go-lucky).

Amazing Health Fact

The term “lobotomy” refers to a surgical operation

that destroys the function of the frontal lobe.

During the early 1900s, this procedure was

extremely popular in treating mental illnesses

such as schizophrenia, extreme

depression, and psychotic

disorders. It was even

reportedly used in cases of

childhood disobedience!

However, this irreversible

procedure robbed people

of their individuality and

freedom of rational thought.

7. Leave your worries behind: Studies show that

emotional stress can cause poor-quality sleep. Those who

pray and commit their troubles to God at night sleep

better. “I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for

thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety” (Psalm 4:8).

Too much of a good thing …

Although individual sleep requirements can vary,

excessive sleep can be detrimental to health. Studies

have shown that among adults, sleeping more than

9 hours per day increases the risk of many common

diseases, as compared to a more healthful 7 to 8 hours

per day.

The Evidence

Research also proves the connection

between rest, health, and longevity.

Cardiovascular Disease:

Does proper rest contribute

to your heart health?

In a study of American nurses, sleep duration

was shown to have a significant impact on heart

disease. Compared to those sleeping about 8 hours a

night, those sleeping less than 5 had a 39 percent greater

risk of developing heart disease. Those sleeping 6 hours

had an 18 percent increase. Women who slept over

9 hours increased their risk by 37 percent and increased

their risk of heart attack by 45 percent.

Another study found that participants who slept

less than 6.5 hours a night had 50 percent higher

levels of insulin compared to those who

slept between 7.5 and 8.5 hours per

night. High insulin levels can result

in weight gain, high blood pressure,

and increased cholesterol — all

three contribute to cardiovascular

disease!

Cancer: Can your

cancer risk be increased

due to lack of sleep?

One major factor in cancer is the

health of the immune system. A poorly

functioning immune system is more prone

to overlook precancerous cells, giving them the

chance to multiply. Studies show that a decrease in

sleep duration does, in fact, impair immune function.

Some evidence suggests that losing as much as

3 hours of sleep can decrease immune function by

50 percent!

Cancer: Can sunlight

actually prevent cancer?

Exposure to sunlight has also been found to

prevent certain cancers. One study concluded that

moderate sunlight exposure decreased colon cancer risk

by up to 80 percent. Indeed, vitamin D is believed to actually

stop a variety of cancer cells from growing — including

leukemia, lymphoma, and melanoma (skin cancer).

Diabetes: How does sunlight affect diabetes?

Vitamin D also has an incredible preventative effect

against juvenile diabetes. One study found that children in

Finland given a vitamin D supplement had an 88 percent

less chance to develop type 1 diabetes. (This study was

done in Finland because of the limited sunlight the nation’s

children receive nine months out of the year. Vitamin D

supplements are not necessary

for a child who receives

adequate sun exposure.)

Another study of American

adults showed a benefit of

adequate sunlight exposure on

numerous type 2 diabetes risk

factors. Most notably, adequate

intake of vitamin D reduced

the risk of obesity. The study also

showed that kidney function was

significantly increased by good levels

of vitamin D.

Obesity: Can sunlight

ward off obesity?

One advantage of moderate

sunlight exposure is that it increases

the production of serotonin, the

“feel good” hormone. But besides

being produced by sunlight

exposure, serotonin is elevated

significantly by eating

excessive amounts of

refined carbohydrates,

such as ice cream and

snack cakes. However,

diets high in refined

carbohydrates have been

linked with a significantly

increased risk of obesity,

so it’s healthier to get your

serotonin by sunlight rather

than junk food!

Osteoporosis: Can

sunlight reach our bones?

Vitamin D is very important for bone health. In one

French study, researchers reported that calcium and

vitamin D reduced the risk of hip fractures by 43 percent!

(The study focused on women aged 78 to 90, a high-risk

group for osteoporosis.) Furthermore, adequate vitamin

D levels, along with sufficient dietary calcium, have been

shown to increase bone density in people who

are prone to osteoporosis.

Sunlight exposure

can prevent falls!

Amazingly, vitamin D, which can be

obtained through sunlight exposure, has been

linked to a significant reduction in the risk for

falls. One study showed that, among 246 older women,

those who had adequate vitamin D and calcium

reduced their chances of falling by up to 66 percent. The

strengthening effect of vitamin D upon muscle tissue

was cited as being the most likely contributor to the

reduction in risk.

Skin Health: Isn’t sunlight bad for our skin?

Sunlight is antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal.

Thus it’s absolutely beneficial for certain skin

conditions, such as acne, athlete’s foot, viral skin

infections, and more.

But remember three important considerations for

sunlight and skin health: moderation, moderation,

moderation. Frequent and excessive tanning can

cause skin to dry, wrinkle, and prematurely age. So

if you want to be good to your skin, be sure avoid

overexposure and underexposure!

Sleep Disorders: How can

sunshine help you sleep better?

Believe it or not — sunlight can help you sleep

better at night. When sunlight enters the retina of

your eye, it triggers the pineal gland to convert sleep-

enhancing (melatonin) hormones to those that increase

alertness (serotonin). Similarly, moderate exposure to

sunlight has been found to effectively regulate these

hormones and will help you get a better night’s rest!

Multiple Sclerosis: How sunlight

makes a difference!

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an extremely debilitating

disease, and it is now thought that low levels of vitamin

D can promote its onset. Likewise, research has shown

that the severity of the disease can be decreased by sun

exposure and vitamin D. Numerous studies have also

found that the risk of death related to MS is significantly

reduced by moderate sunlight exposure, with some

reporting as high as a 76 percent reduction in early

mortality risk.

Supplementing your vitamin D

with a pill is not the best way to receive

adequate amounts of this essential vitamin.

Because vitamin D is fat-soluble, excess

amounts are stored in the body for later

use and can lead to a condition known as

hypercalcaemia, which is too much calcium

in the blood. Symptoms of hypercalcaemia

can include fatigue, depression, confusion,

nausea, and constipation. For safely obtaining

adequate amounts of vitamin D, moderate exposure

to sunlight is still your best option.

According to new research,

adults who don’t get enough

of the “sunshine vitamin” are 26

percent more likely to die early.

Cow’s milk is actually a poor

source of vitamin D. One litre of

untreated milk contains roughly

50 to 80 IUs of vitamin D. This is

why the dairy industry has been

adding vitamin D to milk at a rate

of 400 IUs per litre since the 1930s.

Oddly, research has shown that the vitamin D in

enriched milk is not easily absorbed by the body.

In the beginning … life was active.

Why do you need a good workout?Exercise can help you to:

• burn calories,• increase strength & endurance, • feel better & have more energy• optimize heart health,• and live a longer, happier life!And all these goals can be accomplished with even a basic understanding of exercise physiology.

What is the best exercise routine?Did you know there are two different types of muscles? Muscles involved in anaerobic (needing minimal oxygen) exercise are known as “fast twitch” muscles. To increase your strength, these muscles must be challenged with a task they haven’t been required to accomplish before. These muscles “learn,” enlarging to strengthen in case they run into the same task again. Weight training that focuses on lifting heavier weights with less frequency targets these muscles.

“Slow twitch” muscles are responsible for endurance activities and are used in aerobic (needing lots of oxygen) exercise. Although they don’t “bulk up,” they are responsible for significant calorie burning.The best fitness program exercises both of these

muscle types. A routine that features endurance and strength training will boost metabolism, burn fat, strengthen the cardiovascular system, and more!How do I target heart health?

Heart fitness is best achieved through exercise that keeps your heart rate within age-specific parameters — your “target heart rate.” Your specific rate can be calculated using this formula:

• 220 - (Your age) = target heart rate in beats per minute.For example, the target heart rate for a 40-year-old is 180 beats per minute. (220 - 40 = 180 beats per minute.)

To get your heart as healthy as possible, your pulse rate needs to stay between 50 to 75 percent of your target rate during sustained aerobic activity.

Confused about target heart rate? Let’s talk …If you don’t feel comfortable calculating your target heart rate or taking your pulse, try the “conversational heart rate” approach. If you can exercise and carry on a basic conversation, you

are probably exercising in your target zone. But if you can sing while you exercise, you probably are not exercising hard

enough. If you are winded and have to take breaks to catch your breath

When Wilma Rudolph was only four years old, she contracted polio, which left her with a paralyzed leg. Her doctors said she’d never walk without assistance.

But Wilma did not give up, determined to exercise her crippled limb. At age nine, she stunned doctors when she removed her metal leg brace and began to walk without it.

When she was 13, Wilma decided to become a runner. She entered a race and came in last. For the next few years, every race she entered, she came in last. Everyone told her to quit, but she kept on. Then one day, she won a race … and then another … and then every race she entered. Eventually, she went on to win three Olympic gold medals in track and field!Wilma chose activity over atrophy and became a

winner. Likewise, your body is a miraculous machine, but if you don’t use it, you’ll lose it.

What was the original exercise routine?When Adam was in the garden of Eden, he had perfect exercise habits. (Indeed, gardening can be a very effective total body workout!) However, things didn’t stay perfect — sin brought with it the realities of disease and death.

And, according to the Bible, mankind’s original workout routine had also changed. Just as a fitness trainer makes changes to an exercise program, God needed to make changes to Adam’s exercise routine: “Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life. … In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread” (Genesis 3:17, 19 NKJV). Adam’s “workout” was now more difficult, because he had to “toil” and “sweat.”

But take a closer look at this passage: This increase in Adam’s exercise intensity was “for [his] sake.” Could there still be life-giving benefits in “toil and sweat” exercise?

Amazing PhysiologyWhat happens to the body during exercise?Exercise is essential to good health, and the entire body

is affected. Muscle fibers contract and release, the heart pumps more rapidly, and the lungs work harder to get more oxygen to the body. These actions trigger increased enzyme reactions, nerve stimulations, metabolic enhancement, and more. Exercise is an awesome event!

“The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it” (Genesis 2:15 NKJV).

Amazing Health Fact

Use it; don’t eat it. Red meat is red because it is primarily composed of type II muscle fibers, which require a large amount of oxygen-rich blood. Studies have shown that consuming red meat actually increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and colon cancer.

It was the greatest mine rescue of all time… 33 miners trapped beneath the Chilean desert. With only 2% probability of success the Chilean government, rescue workers, and family members united in an effort to achieve the impossible.

What stirred these people to defy failure and persevere against all odds?What impelled the miners to find the courage to fight against almost certain death?How did a small, white butterfly, an errant probe and a ‘34th miner’ all play a significant role in the unfolding of this incredible story?

Pastor Carlos Parra, known as the chaplain of Camp Hope, presents the answers to these questions in his book, Hope Underground.

Hope Underground is a vivid description of how faith and hope played a key role in the miners’ successful rescue – a role as important as the leadership of the Chilean government and the work of engineers and rescuers.

Only the Brave TriumphAuthor: Miguel Ángel Núñez

People want to succeed – there is nothing wrong with that. The problem today is that too often, the end justifies any means. However, history shows that real success is achieved not by taking shortcuts but through determination, perseverance and courage.

In this age of moral relativism it is worth our while to take a moment to contemplate the values that transcend our times. There is a need for the younger generation to know that there are more honourable paths and methods to success. They need to know that only the brave triumph: those who dare to say no to corruption, no to mediocrity, no to laziness and lies, and an emphatic no to the self-indulgent culture that so many young people admire.

The author proposes a fresh look at the values of yesteryear by introducing us to insights he has gleaned from the lives of ten heroes and heroines of our time. These brave people include leaders of integrity and resolve, such as Mahatma Gandhi and Aung San Suu Kyi; and successful athletes Wilma Rudolph and Oscar Pistorius, who overcame the challenges of illness and disability through sheer determination and courage.

The Beauty of Being UglyAuthor: Miguel Ángel Núñez

In today’s image-conscious culture, many people struggle to develop and maintain a healthy self-esteem. The world’s obsession with beauty, fame, intelligence and power leave most of us feeling ugly and inadequate. Tragically, some find it almost impossible to value and accept themselves for who they are. Young people especially strive to be considered attractive, capable and successful, yet what they need is what every human being yearns for: to be loved and accepted.

In “The beauty of being ugly” Dr Nunez challenges the values of a society that so often rewards the beautiful and rejects the ugly. He encourages us to appreciate our uniqueness and elaborates on methods to develop a confident self-acceptance that can replace the lies of vanity and self-loathing.

This book is essential reading for young people, parents and educators.

I Live for JesusAuthor: Alejandro Bullón

Do you sometimes feel like the Christian life is just a long list of do’s and don’ts? As a faithful church-goer, are you trying with all your might to be good, only to end up failing to keep your promises time after time?

Alejandro Bullón simply and profoundly presents episodes from the lives of various biblical characters to draw out lessons that can be applied to our modern Christian walk. We are inspired by Joseph’s devotion to the God he loved, David’s determination to prove to the world that ‘there is a God in Israel’, and Samuel’s eagerness to hear God’s voice. We are warned against the rebellious self-sufficiency of Cain and Esau’s disdain for the things of God. And we are encouraged by God’s providence in the life of Moses, His tender concern for the banished Ishmael, and His patience and forgiveness toward a deceitful Jacob.

These and many other wonderful insights will help you to learn what the abundant Christian life is all about, a discovery which will inspire you to declare, ‘I live for Jesus’.
