Adding Health to our years
Since the discovery of Penicillin
medical science has been looking for the Magic Bullet.
Pills which wipe out a bug but leaves everything else intact.
One by one, killer diseases like TB, Diphtheria and scarlet
fever began to fade out of existence – slain by the magic
bullets of antibiotics!
Then the failures began.
Viruses began to shrug off vaccinations.
Bacteria grew resistant to antibiotics!
New diseases sprang up out of nowhere.
Drugs alone can never defeat
disease!Bugs reproduce
every twenty minutes!
500 generations in one week!
What’s the only known way of killing all viruses
and all bacteria, no matter how weird or
wonderful?
The Human Body
When the body is primed to fight back,
there is no disease that can beat it!
We know disease inside
out; but what do we know about
optimum health?
Optimum Health
Is far more than the absence of disease.
Optimum Health
Begins and ends
Here!
How is your Intestine
related to yourToothpaste?
We must “Eat to Live”
Watching what we eat
To be healthy, energy utilisation
must be higher than energy
input.
SUPPLEMENTS?
Grandma ate 1 Orange; you have to eat 8 to get the same amount of
nutrients.
Grandpa ate 1 Peach; today you have to eat at least 30
"...the nutritional content of produce is not as important as things like appearance and big
yield. In other words, the view of commercial growers is that food
is a product in the same way that running shoes are a
product.
Looks are more important than substance."

The combination of lack of exercise and over eating leads to decrease of testosterone and growth hormone , making it even harder to lose weight
Fat men make 25% less growth hormone on a daily basis and have a pulsatile release of GH that is 3 times lower compared to normal weight guys. Scientists have shown a correlation between body fat and growth hormone and testosterone secretion.
The more body fat you have the less growth hormone and testosterone you have.
Love Handle?
That “little roll in the middle” represents a real threat to one’s health.
There are two kinds of body fat - central and peripheral fat. The central fat around the waist and abdominal area is related to diseases like atherosclerosis , type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure , and insulin resistance.

Illness you don’t have to live with,
but Optimum Health requires your active participation.
I pray God you make the right choice.
