The reader
might well ask—"What
will
The Low Fat Way to Health and Longer Life book do for me?" or to
paraphrase Ben Franklin, "Can
it bring me
health (which is really wealth), happiness, and wisdom?"
It can, for many reasons.
A growing number of books for laymen on the subject of
health have appeared in the past decade. Never before has there
been
such widespread popular interest in medical science.
Much of this interest has been motivated by the unprecedented
advances in medical research that have been made in
our time.
One discovery has led rapidly to another and many
old views
are radically changed. New information, new diagnostic
tools, and new drugs have provided new answers to many
old problems
that were believed to be without solution.
Even the practicing physician cannot always keep abreast of
these swift developments in medical progress. He cannot take
time from treatment of his patients to evaluate all reports
of
new findings and new products that daily flood his office.
At the same time, he cannot shirk the traditional responsibility
of the physician to teach the public how to prevent illness
and how best
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
How many years depends upon your present age and weight.
If you are under 20, for example, you can increase your life-span
by as much as 15 years. 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, included
in this book.
2. KNOW WHAT FOOD TO EAT
In addition to prolonging your life by controlling your
weight,
correct diet can also save you from heart and blood vessel
disease.
Almost all heart researchers agree that when people who
have
defective fat metabolism eat a high-fat diet, heart disease often results.
In the following pages you will find instructions, in detail,
on what to eat to maintain a well-balanced diet and at the same time
to
avoid fat-rich foods that may undermine your health.Complete daily menus for a period of several weeks are included.
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 also 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, sub clinical 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. KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT 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 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. PUT SUNSHINE INTO YOUR AUTUMN YEARS
It would be only a limited gain if the years added to your
life
were years of unhappiness or ill health. Therefore, the
author
has included advice for meeting the special problems of the
older years.
The author
of
The
Low Fat Way to Health and Longer Life
believes that a longer,
happier life will be yours
if you make
a whole-hearted effort to absorb and follow the
directions given.
Like most
worthwhile undertakings, it will take patience and
time. But
the results are so vital to you and to your loved ones,
that your
utmost efforts can reward you with a rich harvest of
health and
extra years of happy living.
