Nutrition guru talks about anti-aging strategies

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

Dr. Patricia Bragg, health advisor to many of Hollywood's stars, talks about the importance of hydration, diet and breathing exercises in extending life span and maintaining a healthy body.



When it comes to staying in shape and keeping the wrinkles at bay, the Hollywood stars rely on a simple but effective way devised by nutrition and anti-aging guru, Dr. Patricia Bragg. Demi Moore, Bruce Willis, Tom Selleck and just about all the well known stars are said to be huge fans of her Liquid Aminos, a soya bean extract of acids. "My philosophy is that you are what you eat and drink breathe, think and do," she said. The key to Dr. Bragg's ageless aging philosophy lies in exercising every day, practising deep-breathing techniques, drinking 10 glasses of purified water a day and fasting occasionally. After that, and most importantly, she advises a diet low in animal fats and high in raw vegetables, pulses, beans and salads. "You are the sum total of the food you consume." Such potential poisons may, if left unchecked, will lead to premature aging, lethargy and ill health. Next, take the time to analyze your well-being, Dr. Bragg suggests writing down every thing you eat and drink throughout the day and digestive and sleeping patterns. If a person can reach the point at which their diet contains 60 to 70 per cent raw or lightly cooked fruits and vegetables with a minimum amount of fats and sugars, they can live in a higher state of health for many long and vigorous years, Dr. Bragg says. One fifth of what you consume should be protein, preferably from a vegetarian source such as cereals, sprouts, raw seeds and nuts, beans and pulses. If you do like meat and fish, eat it no more than three times a week. For example, a chubby individual pleasant and easy going, who loves to enjoy life's goodies come what may, goes on strict arduous diet and loses the happy-go-lucky way and become obsessed with dieting.
