Excerpted from
book "Your Right to Be Beautiful: How to Halt
Train of Aging and Meet
Most Beautiful You" by Tonya Zavasta. The book is available at: http://www.beautifulonraw.comJean Kerr, American author and playwright wrote: “I’m tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That’s deep enough. What do you want an adorable pancreas?”—
Jean Kerr was closer to
truth than she might have realized. Every outside organ of
human body is eligible to be called beautiful, but because internal organs are ordinarily seen only by surgeons, they get excluded from
beauty contest. If our internal organs were observed, we would describe them in terms of attractiveness, and normal color and shape would be considered beautiful. You need only compare pictures of normal healthy internal organs with pictures of their infected and diseased counterparts in
medical books to convince yourself that health and beauty are synonymous.
A healthy colon looks like evenly braided muscles. On
other hand, unhealthy colons are deformed: twisted and looped in some parts, ballooned and engorged in others, as revealed by barium X-rays. Visit a colon therapist, if only to observe
pictures of unhealthy colons and see for yourself how ugly one can be on
inside.
The blood of a healthy person is also beautiful. The red blood cells are uniformly round. The blood of a body full of toxins is contaminated with pathological bacteria, abnormal proteins, and parasites. When red blood corpuscles clump together,
condition is called Rouleau or “sticky” blood. Rouleau, this clumpy, unattractive blood, appears 5 to 20 years before symptoms of illness present themselves. It is an early messenger of hundreds of degenerative diseases. Conglomerates of red blood cells cannot access
fine capillaries of
body. Rouleau is particularly damaging to
organs of
head, in particular
eyes, ears, and scalp. A diet high in meat and dairy products increases
stickiness of your platelets. Blood that becomes sticky is a sure precursor of blood clots, strokes, and heart attacks.
The arterial pipelines in a healthy circulatory system are clean and clear from obstructions. In healthy arteries,
inner lining, called
intima, is smooth, supple, and without cracks. A cross-section of a normal coronary artery shows no arterial thickening or blood-blocking plaque deposits.
An unhealthy circulatory system paints an entirely different picture. The middle muscular layer of
artery can no longer fully recoil after a pulse wave has expanded
vessel. Elasticity of
artery walls is reduced, and cracks and hollows appear. They catch calcium, cholesterol deposits, fat accumulations, and clusters of platelets. Cholesterol deposits roughen
inner surfaces and damage
walls of
arteries. At first, plaque build-up does not cause discomfort--it is just ugly. But later, thick, clogged bloodstream results in coronary arteries becoming occluded with fatty buildup, which effects circulation and causes deterioration of
connective tissues. Deterioration and abnormal hardening of
arteries result in a process called arteriosclerosis and may cause heart disease, stroke, and hypertension.
