Low-Fat Way To Health (Introduction)
The reader may well ask-”What will this book do for me?” or to paraphrase Ben Franklin, “Can it bring me health (which is really wealth), happiness, and wisdom?”
It can, and in many ways. There has been a great increase in the number of books focusing on health for everyday people Never before have people become so interested in the field of medicine and science, especially due to the remarkable medical achievements throughout recent times. Old ideas are challenged and new ideas are formed, which lead to one discovery after another. New information, new diagnostic tools, and new drugs have provided new answers to questions that were mysteries with no solution. Even a practicing physician cannot always keep up with these swift developments in medical progress. He simply does not have the time to treat his patients and also evaluate all reports of new findings and new products that appear everyday. At the same time, he still bears the traditional responsibility of the physician to teach the public how to prevent illness and how to treat it when it occurs.
The answer, therefore, seems to lie in a division of labor among doctors. Each should contribute to the nation’s health literature information on the particular phase of medicine about which he is best qualified to speak. Such information, whether derived from research or from his daily practice, should be as reliable and as safe as a prescription. Not all books appearing today-even those written by physicians-come up to this high standard. Many are written merely to entertain, to exploit some medical novelty, or sometimes to enhance the prestige of the author. In preparing the following work for the general reader, the author has aimed at a twofold objective: to prolong your life and to save you from crippling or fatal heart disease resulting from hardening of the arteries. The information offered here is based upon the writer’s 25 years of medical practice, extensive research, and clinical experience. The low-fat diet, weight reduction, and nutritional program presented in this book are not a panacea for all illnesses. They are not a get-healthy-quick nostrum or cure for everything that ails you. However in the opinion of the author and a large number of scientists and physicians, these measures are the most effective known to prevent and treat hardening of the arteries or atherosclerosis, today’s greatest cause of sickness and death. There are unquestionably other still unknown causes of hardening of the arteries in the heart, brain, and other vital tissues of the body. Not only is there little or nothing known about them, but there is no effective remedy other than those presented in the following pages. At this very moment, countless research scientists and physician-investigators are searching the unknown in the life-or-death quest for the various causes and the cure for atherosclerosis. If this miraculous discovery should come to pass, the way of eating and living described in this book may become of historical interest only.
But, until that day of more perfect knowledge arrives, I believe we should, in all good conscience, use the most perfect tools that we now have, namely the dietary and nutritional tools set forth in this book. The mounting evidence that they can save the lives and health of countless victims is now too powerful to allow us to stand by and wait for the perfect cure or the therapeutic millennium. If you will read this book carefully, and apply the simple, easy-to-follow directions given, it is the author’s sincere belief that it will enable you to accomplish the following:
1. ADD YEARS TO YOUR LIFE The increase depends on how old you are and how much you weigh. If you are under 20, for example, you can increase add up to 15 years to your life. Even if you are over 60, you can still enjoy more than two golden, “bonus” years. These figures are based upon actual Metropolitan Life Insurance tables, which you can review in this book.
2. CHOOSE THE RIGHT FOODS TO EAT Choosing the right foods for your diet can also save you from heart problems and other diseases, as well as take care of your weight. Almost all coronary doctors agree that when people who have a problem with fat metabolism and their diet contains a high amount of fat, heart disease is a likely result. In my articles, you will find instructions, in detail, on how to choose the right foods for a well-balanced diet and avoid fatty foods that degrade your health. In fact, you will have complete daily menus for a period of several weeks.
3. DISCOVER NEW VITALITY THROUGH DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS Medical research has discovered a number of important dietary supplements that not only improve the body’s general efficiency and well-being but help prevent hardening and blocking of the arteries-the condition that sets the stage for heart attacks and strokes. The nutritional supplements combined with vitamins that are described in the following pages can help you overcome fatigue, nervousness, and loss of energy. Medical science has effectively demonstrated that millions of Americans eat three meals a day but are poorly or badly nourished ; many are overweight. Yet they suffer from the symptoms of malnutrition or borderline, subclinical illness. This is often expressed by feelings of tiredness, nervous symptoms, and loss of vitality. The author will describe the results of controlled studies into new products that he and his associates have conducted to prove their effectiveness and safety.
4. SMOKING The role that cigarette smoking plays in various diseases has been the subject of intensive research. The discussion of tobacco will answer many of your questions concerning the effect of smoking on the heart and blood vessels.
5. KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT USING ALCOHOL The question of alcohol, although not so important to the prevention and treatment of heart disease as it is to some other physical disorders, is also discussed, and professional advice given for using it safely.
6. HAPPINESS AND SUNSHINE It is only profitable if the years added to your life were years of happiness and in health. Thus, you will also find in these articles how to deal with certain problems that come as you grow older.
If you make a sincere effort to absorb and follow the directions given here, your endeavors can reward you with a rich harvest of health and extra years of happy living. Like most worthwhile undertakings, it will take patience and time, but the results are so vital to you, as well as your family and friends.
