Don’t Be a Health Criminal!
Animals in their wild habitat know by instinct how to live, and what to eat and drink. They know how to fast instinctively when they get hurt or sick. Naturally, animals are led to eat what is good for them. But man eats and drinks anything and everything – consuming the most indigestible concoctions, washing it down with poisonous slops – and then wonders why he is sickly and does not live to be a centenarian!
In theory, humans desire long life! Many shorten their lives to the minimum. Does this make sense? Why this marvelous mechanism of man – perfect in its minutest organism, combining a Godlike intelligence with a body which sculptors have imitated but never equalled – should be ruthlessly destroyed by its owner’s unhealthy lifestyle is one of the inexplicable disgraces of our culture!
The world famous marble statue of Apollo that Patricia and I saw in the Vatican at Rome is not greater in the perfection of manly beauty than that possessed by thousands of young men in our midst today. This inanimate marble of Apollo is as tenderly cared for as a rare, priceless jewel. Meanwhile, living man – noble, intellectual, refined, with a miraculous physical structure and an eternal soul – gives his wonderful body less attention than he gives to his car, cat or dog.
All people of sound mentality naturally desire a long, healthy, pain-free, happy and useful life. With our natural intelligence – super health, happiness and longevity should be the rule instead of the exception. In my early career, I was associated with the great Bernarr Macfadden, the Father and Founder of the Physical Culture movement. I was the associate Editor of the pioneer health magazine Physical Culture. These lines always appeared on the front cover of every issue:
“Sickness is a crime – Don’t be a criminal.”
Old age is a highly toxic condition caused by nutritional deficiencies and an unhealthy lifestyle.
Men do not die, they kill themselves. – Seneca, Roman Philosopher
Physical weakness, flabbiness and sickness have always seemed criminal to me – a sacrilegious abuse of that miracle instrument, the human body. I regained my health after being a hopeless tuberculosis victim years ago, and since then I’ve made a religion of keeping in perfect health through conscientious care of my body. Adhering to a high ideal of stamina, vitality, health and endurance has paid me great dividends – so priceless that I call myself “A Health Billionaire!”
To Be a Health Billionaire and Enjoy the Glow of Ageless Health and Happiness, You Must Work and Earn It!
The “secret” of the glow of ageless health lies in maintaining internal cleanliness and regeneration. This requires eating natural, organically grown live foods, combined with other healthy practices such as fasting, drinking distilled water, exercising and deep breathing.
When you purify your body with systematic fasting and live foods, you crave daily exercise, and by exercising you sculpt your body to become the person you want to be. Just think, from this minute on you can mold your body to physical perfection. With the knowledge found in these pages you will find out how you can reap the most out of life, physically, mentally and spiritually!
The human race is a miracle unique study, and an intriguing one! But the natural laws which govern man are simple and understandable if one takes the time to learn and observe how he functions from day to day!
