SMILE

Smile is like a flu!

Words of kindness are as welcome as the smile of angels. {ChS 189.2}

Above the new-created earth, as it lay, fair and unblemished, under the smile of God, "the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy." Job 38:7.

One smile of pleasure, one peaceful, approving word spoken in the spirit of meekness, would be a power to soothe, to comfort, and to bless. . . .

The earth seemed to smile under the peace of God.

Peace begins with a smile. ~Mother Teresa

Love God and you will have His approving smile. What a thought, to have the great God, the maker of the heavens and the earth, to smile upon and love you. Dear children, seek for this, pray for it, live for it.

8 Keys in preventing heart disease

There are 8 keys to preventing, treating, and reversing heart disease.

1. Reduce blood cholesterol. Levels less than 150 mg/dl will reduce the risk of heart attack by 60 to 90 percent.
2. Eat a plant-based diet. All the cholesterol we eat comes from animal products; plant foods contain no cholesterol. To remove all cholesterol from the diet all animal products must be eliminated.

3. Increase dietary fiber. It absorbs cholesterol in the digestive tract and removes it.

4. Decrease blood levels of fat. Sugar, fat, and alcohol increase the amount of fat in the blood. Fat promotes plaque buildup in the arteries and stimulates the blood to clot, increasing the risk of heart disease.

5. Stop smoking. Over a period of five years this will reduce your risk of heart attack by 50 to 75 percent.

6. Start a regular aerobic exercise program. This raises MDL so effectively it can reduce the risk of heart disease by over 45 percent in those who are unfit.

7. Reach and maintain your ideal body weight. Losing weight can cut heart disease risk by 35 to 55 percent in those who are more than 20 percent over their ideal weight.

8. Reduce blood pressure. A ten-point reduction in blood pressure reduces heart disease risk 20 to 30 percent in those with high blood pressure.

Many people have experienced very good results from implementing these principles. As artery blockage reverses, angina pains have cleared up, and an active normal life has again become possible.

Rest

With hard work and exercise, there must be adequate rest. During the sleeping hours, the body is repaired and invigorated for another day. Youth need abundant sleep.

• Be regular in hours of rest.
  


• Sleep with abundant supply of fresh air in your room, otherwise you may awaken feeling tired and exhausted.
  


• „The sleep of laboring man is sweet“ Eccl 5:12
  
  
• Go to bed early and arise early. Staying up late and then sleeping away the morning hours is not healthful. During the deepest part of sleep, the greatest amount of growth hormones are produced, for body repair, protein synthesis, brain collation and synoptic nerve ending renewal. Due to „circadian rhytm“ which is regulated by the suns´s rays, studied show that deepest sleep and the greatest amount of growth hormone production occur between the hours of 9 p.m. to 12 p.m.
  


• If you cannot sleep, take a warm bath. This will be relaxing and bring sleep.
  


• Deep breathing induces sound, refreshing sleep because it soothes and quiets the nerves.
  


• Never go to sleep after eating.
  


• Exercise increases natural hormones, which act as a tranquilizer, allowing deeper sleep.

Vegetarian diet enhances mental perfomance

E.W Words: „Grains, fruits, nuts and vegetables constitute the diet chosen for us by our Creator...They impart a strength, a power of endurance, and a vigor of intellect, that are not afforded by a more complex and stimulating diet.“ ...Individuals will have greater power of endurance if they abstain from meat than if they subsist largely upon it.“ „ It is a mistake to suppose that muscular strength depends on the use of animal food.“

Medical science Speaks:
Bycycle tests of athletes who follow a high fat, high protein diet, high meat diet, can triple their endurance by switching to a vegetarian type of high carbohydrate diet.
Marathon runners among many others have discovered that meat is a detriment to distance running or other endurance activities.
The belief that a diet strong in meat is essential for people that do muscular work has been prevalent up to just a few years ago.

E.W words: Grains, fruits, nuts, and vegetables...impart a vigor of intellect, that is not aforded by a more complex and stimulating diet.

Medical science speaks:
Meat contains a substance that impairs brain activity and lacks a substance that the brain needs to function well. Arachidonic acid found in meat impairs optimal functioning of the brain center for wisdom, judgement and foresight – the frontal lobe.
Animal foods are devoid carbohydrate, which is the primary source of energy that the brain can use, but a vegetarian diet contains plentiful supply.

Omega-3 fatty acids are a very important nutrient in reducing risk of depression. Omega-3 fatty acids are necessary for optional brain development during the critical formative time of early life. Cow´s milk and traditional baby formulas are both low in omega-3 fatty acids. Today´s adult who were given infant formulas and cow´s milk have, on average, a 9-10 point lower IQ than those who were receiving human breast milk.

It is impossible for both meat-eaters and vegetarians to have a diet too low in omega-3 fats. There is a way to bybass the cholesterol and toxins that come with the animal-derived omega-3 fats. We obtain the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids from a plant fat called "linolenic acid".
