But eating a healthy diet and having a strong healthy heart are not difficult goals, she said, and living a healthy lifestyle with healthy foods can dramatically extend life and vitality. Refined, processed foods should be avoided. Meats should be avoided or limited to no more than three times a week. Bragg leans towards a healthy vegetarian diet. She believes more Americans should follow the low fat diet common in Asian countries where obesity is nearly unknown.
Regular exercise is also essential.
Fast walking is the king of exercise and 30 to 40 minutes a day does miracles for your body. Bragg, the author and co-author of numerous books was in Las Vegas this weekend promoting The Bragg Healthy Lifestyle, a series of health theories first proposed by her father, Paul C. Bragg, who was the early pioneer in the vitamin and nutritional foods movement and the originator of Health Food Stores over 85 years ago. Bragg signed copies of her Health Books at the National Nutritional Foods Association Convention at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Her father was the founder of this association of Health Stores. Dr. Bragg is also against the use of pesticides and tries to eat only organically grown fruits and vegetables.
