4a. Listen and read a newspaper article about Paul Bragg and say what his secret of a long and healthy life was.

Paul C. Bragg – a health legend

Paul Bragg began his journey into physical fitness as a very sickly teenager and lived to the age of 95. The following extract is taken from his book Healthful Eating:

Hippocrates1, the father of the natural healing sciences said: “Food will be your medicine, and medicine will be your food.” “Strength, growth, nourishment2 result from the right food.”

These statements are equally true today. We know that the only real cures (лечение) come from food. As an example, let’s take scurvy3, the disease that kills thousands around the world every year. It can definitely be cured by massive doses of Vitamin C.

I could go on and on speaking about the importance of nutrition. Food is the magic doctor. Drugs cannot make such claims. Travel the world over, and you will find the shelves full of every imaginable kind of food.

Yet with all this great variety of food, we are poorly nourished. Being overfed can be even more dangerous than being underfed.

Important nutrients are missing in the daily diet. Too much rich food – such as fatty meats, dairy products, eggs, sugary and salty foods – are just as dangerous to good health as too little food....

My early experience

My life was saved by the science of nutrition. At the age of 16, I had a terminal case of T.B. (tuberculosis [tjuˌbɜːkjʊˈləʊsɪs]). By the grace of God, I was led to Dr. August Rollier in Switzerland. A man who was ahead of his time in the science of nutrition. From a boy dying with a bad disease – for whom not one doctor in America could hold out any hope of recovery – I became a healthy young man.

Seventy years later

Ever since my recovery I have had a painless, tireless, ageless body. I have been an outstanding athlete in many sports. And today, as a great-grandfather, I am still an athlete – at the age when most men of my calendar years are old people with one foot in the grave (в могиле) or already in the grave.

I still jog, swim miles at a time, climb some of the world’s highest mountains, play tennis. I write several books a year, and have a lecture schedule that takes me around the world.

I still have all my own teeth, and a scalp full of healthy hair. My blood pressure is 124/73, and I have a strong, steady pulse of 64. My vision is as keen as an eagle’s, and my hearing as sharp as an alert animal’s. It became possible only because of proper food and daily exercise ...
