Subject: [K-list] Heart disease and diet and general health
From: Harsha

Since we are on the topic of diet (sorry, a bit behind in my posting), there
is recent news from medical sciences that the heart muscle can regenerate
itself.

Along the same line, I would like to mention that my experimentation at
times with a predominantly raw food vegetarian diet demonstrates that it can
dramatically lower blood pressure and ease the stress on the heart.

In the 1970s, I came across books by Paul Bragg, a well know advocate for a
natural diet. Makes for good reading and much useful information on fasting
and the benefits of a primarily raw vegetarian diet, especially as the body
ages and the associated cardiovascular risks go up.

The full health benefits of a plant based diet have started to become more
apparent to science in recent years only. However, people point out that
many vegetarian yogis like Swami Yogananda suggested including eggs in the
diet. David Bozzi has spoken of the benefits of whey protein in the diet to
meet protein needs.

I have heard that Swami Vivekananda started eating meat after he came to
America.

Fasting is common among most religions and is said to have both health and
spiritual benefits.

We welcome the sharing of experiences and knowledge on the matter of diet,
food, and exercise in the context of spirituality. Thank you.
