How to Grow 10 Years Younger
A book by Dr. Barry StierGive your heart a hand! You can relieve your heart of potential strain by keeping your body in better condition. The good news is that your body is capable of improving its own condition if you give it just a very small amount of assistance. You would be amazed by some of the people I met during the 15 years I studied and practiced Oriental medicine in China, Korea, and Japan. How could people be so much older than I but look so much younger and more vigorous?
Many of the people with whom I came in contact were benefitting from secrets of health
and vigor that were written in Chinese long before Western medicine was even born. In 1978 I had the honor of assisting the world renowned Dr. Sunu Ki in preparing his translation of the Nei Ching into English. That was the very first medical book ever written (about 2,600 years ago) for scholars and doctors. I discovered secrets of good health that average people of the Western world have a right and a need to know.
First Time in English
There are a series of simple body movements you can do that will help improve the condition of your body and postpone the effects of aging. In fact, they may repair damage that you have already done. These movements are not only beneficial to persons with heart problems. They are also very good for young athletes and persons of all ages and conditions of health. The simple movements are called "Shiueh Tsih Ji" in Chinese. I was so impressed with this marvelous secret practice that I spent 3 years researching and writing the only English language book in existence about this subject.I'm not talking about normal exercises. These movements are so easy that even a person with a pacemaker or a heart transplant can do them. These movements are not for the purpose of strengthening muscles or building up your cardiovascular system. They simply cause your body to gently move in ways that will stimulate certain acupuncture points in your body.
For centuries, Oriental people have been going to acupuncture doctors to receive a kind of preventative medicine. The doctor would stimulate certain points that would aid the body to balance its energy for digestion, rest, and self repair. It would help prevent illness and aging. The Shiueh Tsih Ji movements do essentially the same thing. You can do them while you watch television, ride to work, read a book, lie in bed, or wait for the fish to bite.
As Easy as Twiddling Your Thumbs
Can you twiddle your thumbs? All of the movements are as simple as that.
I have described the movements in the book and included photographs to show how they are
done. Besides their primary use in postponing aging, these simple movements can be done to help
alleviate or prevent many common health problems. I have included alphabetical listings of the
physical ailments and diseases which these movements may help to prevent, ease, or cure. You
may look up a particular ailment and find out which movement to use. The lists include such
various problems as menstrual pains, flu, toothaches, arthritis, fever, hearing and eyesight,
stomach, bowel problems, and many more.
It's almost unbelievable that a simple movement with the hand, foot, or neck could prevent menstrual pains, ease constipation or arthritis. or get rid of tinnitus.
Can You Live to 150?
I have researched and included in the book information about various peoples of the world who are famous for their long lives. You will read reports of scientists telling about groups of people in Ecuador, India, Iran, and others living to 150 years old and of people over 100 having and rearing children. Are you going to be able to do that? Probably not. But you can certainly be a lot healthier for a lot longer than the way you're heading now.Life Expectancy Test
As far as I have been able to find out, this book contains one of the most interesting personal tests you can take. It asks you questions about your personal life, about your habits, and other things pertaining to your health. It then correlates the information into a forecast of how your current lifestyle will probably affect the potential number of years that you will live. The valuable thing about this test is that you can see the effects of your habits and can alter them to change your life expectancy forecast if you so desire.Diets don't work
Dieting doesn't work. If any diet really worked there wouldn't be hundreds of diet books, businesses, medicines and clubs promising to help you lose weight. Everyone would use the diet that worked. The fact is that you hurt your body when you deprive it of the food it needs. Any doctor will tell you that.Any diet that cuts down on your caloric intake for a couple of weeks will take 5 to 10 pounds off of you. But that's as far as it will go. And, it will come back. Your body does not want you to lose weight. Your body will then see to it that you gain a little more just to prevent your losing so much the next time. You know that the more you diet the heavier you tend to get.
You should not go hungry or give up foods you love. If you've tried that already you know that it makes you feel lousy. It will harm your health. The only way to lose weight without harming yourself is the simple way described in this book.
Exercise is not the answer
The fact is that most people can not and will not stay on a program of exercise. That means it will not work. There are simple alternatives that have not been promoted because nobody can make money from them. Companies can make money from health clubs, from selling exercise machines or selling aerobics lessons. They can't make money from you if the answer to your needs is something that you can enjoy doing without forcing yourself and without spending money.The Only Health Book You'll Ever Need
Knowing that this book is for people who really want to be healthy and to understand the very simple mechanics of health, I have included chapters with information on foods, poisons, vitamins, diets, exercises, acupuncture theory and history, stress, age and sex, and more. It will make an excellent reference book and an even more special gift.
