People Over-Stuff & Abuse Their Stomachs


Most people abuse their stomachs! You can’t overeat
dead, empty-calorie foods night and day and tell yourself
that it won’t harm or show on you! You are completely
wrong! Devitalized foods create toxic poisons inside your
body and add unhealthy, flabby inches to your stomach
and body. Don’t overeat even healthy foods, for your
body only needs enough food (fuel) to maintain energy.
When you see obese people, it’s usually because they have
over-stuffed their bodies with too much food. Flesh is dumb.
Have you over-fueled your body? If so, you are not
getting away with this harmful habit, you are abusing
your health and cheating yourself! Keep in mind that as
we live longer, the internal abdominal structure and
stomach muscles relax more. This is called visceroptosis,
or droopy tummy. It’s a common condition among older
people who overeat and don’t exercise their waist
muscles. It can be a contributing cause of constipation,
body sluggishness, prolapsed liver and even hernias.
When the abdominal wall becomes lazy, the droop is
compounded by fat layers of flab, then trouble starts inside
the abdomen. Most people by 40 have a prolapsed
abdomen. Become a people-watcher and you will notice this is
true! Some need a surgical tummy-tuck (removes excess flab)
to give them flat stomachs. (Never have lipo-suction.) Don’t
let abdominal muscles droop! Make every effort to
recapture firmness. It’s amazing how quickly muscles
respond to good posture, weight training and exercises.

Bragg Posture Exercise Promotes Youthfulness
Tighten the butt, suck in stomach muscles, lift up
ribcage and stretch up the spine. Keep the chest up and
out, shoulders back and lift the chin up slightly and
line the spine up straight (nose plumbline straight to
belly button). Drop the hands to the sides and swing
arms to normalize your posture. Do this exercise before
a mirror and see miraculous changes. You are retraining
and strengthening your muscles to sit, stand and walk
tall and straight for more youthfulness and health!
