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?”

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 be to split the work among doctors. Each doctor should do some research and add to the nation’s database of health information on the specific branch of medicine in which the doctor specializes. This information, whether it came from research or from doing rounds, should be as reliable and as safe as a prescription, since it is coming from a doctor with a medical license. However, you can’t trust all books talking about health – even those written by doctors themselves – to qualify. Many are written to amuse, to exploit some medical novelty, or sometimes just to try getting attention and fame. While writing the following for the reader, the author has sought to achieve two main objectives: to increase your lifespan and to prevent critical heart disease, due to hardened arteries. The information offered here is based upon 25 years of medical practice, extensive research, and clinical experience. The low-fat diet, weight reduction, and nutritional program presented in this book are by no means a way to fix everything. However, in the opinion of the author and a large number of scientists and physicians, this program is the most effective method to prevent and/or treat what is known scientifically as atherosclerosis, the hardening of the arteries. Atherosclerosis is today’s largest source of illness and death, and there are definite other unknown causes of hardening of the arteries in the heart, brain, and other vital organs in the body. Even worse, not much is known about these diseases and there is no treatment, other than those presented in this article. Currently, thousands of scientists and physicians are researching the various unknown causes, as well as some type of treatment for atherosclerosis. If we do arrive at this miraculous discovery someday, the methods described in this book may become forgotten, to be a historical interest at best.

However, until the cure is discovered, I believe we should use the best means that we have now, the dietary and nutritional plans outlined in this book. There is just too much evidence that this practice can save the lives and health of many for us to stand by and wait for a cure. 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 allow 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 In addition to managing your weight, choosing the right foods for your diet can also save you from heart problems and other diseases. Almost all heart researchers agree that when people who have a problem with fat metabolism and their diet contains a high amount of fat, heart disease is an eventual 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 are dangerous to your health. In fact, you will have complete daily menus for a period of several weeks plotted out for you.

3. GAIN EXTRA ENERGY THROUGH DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS Medical research has discovered some important dietary supplements not only improve the body’s general efficiency and health but help prevent hardening and clogging of the arteries-the main cause behind heart attacks and strokes. The nutritional supplements combined with vitamins that are described in these articles can help you overcome fatigue, anxiety, stress, and much more. Medical science has effectively demonstrated that millions of Americans eat three meals a day but are poorly or badly nourished in terms of nutrition; many are overweight because their meals are full of fat and calories but contain little nutrition. Suffering from the symptoms of malnutrition or borderline subclinical illness, many people experience fatigue, nervous symptoms, and loss of vitality. You will see the results of controlled studies of new products that my associates and I 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. ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION The question of alcohol, although not as 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 consuming it the right amounts.

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.

If you try hard to to absorb and follow the directions given in this book, you will be rewarded with not only great health but a few extra years of happy living. As anything that is worthwhile, it will take patience and time, but the results are so undeniably important and beneficial to everyone, especially you.
