Former US President on Plant-Based Diet

Former US President on Plant-Based Diet

Have you heard which former head-of-state has gone plant-based? Here's a hint, he was famous for jogging to McDonald's.
On Sunday evening, August 28, 2011, CNN ran a television special titled “The Last Heart Attack”, hosted by Dr. Sanjay Gupta, during which he interviewed former President Bill Clinton. In that interview, Clinton, who during his presidency was noted for a junk food diet of hamburgers, barbeque, and doughnuts, revealed that he had adopted a vegan diet. If you watch that video, you will realize that the diet Bill Clinton adopted is very similar to The Hallelujah Diet. He made this diet change after learning that animal fat clogs arteries and shuts off blood flow to the heart and brain. Indeed, one of the outstanding benefits of The Hallelujah Diet is that it prevents people from having clogged arteries, high blood pressure, stents, by-passes, heart attacks, and strokes. We have been sharing this good news for almost 20 years. In a previous interview on CNN, dated September 22, 2010, Clinton had the following to say as to the reason he adopted a vegan diet:
"I did it because after I had this stent put in, I realized that even though it happens quite often that after bypass surgery you lose the veins because they're thinner and weaker than arteries, the truth is that it clogged up, which means that the cholesterol was still causing buildup in my vein that was part of my bypass. I didn't want it to happen again. So I did all this research and it says that 82% of the people since 1986 who have gone on a plant-based, no dairy, no meat of any kind -- I eat very little fish -- 82% of the people who have done that have begun to heal themselves. Their arterial blockage cleans up; the calcium deposit around their heart breaks up. This movement has been led by Doctor Caldwell B. Esselstyn at the Cleveland Clinic, Dean Ornish out in California, the doctors Campbell, father and son who wrote The China Study, and a handful of others. But we now have 25 years of evidence. So I thought... I'll become part of this experiment. I'll see if I can become one of those who can have a self-clearing mechanism."

Today, after adopting a 100% plant-base diet, Clinton says he is slimmer than he has been in decades (has dropped more than 20 pounds), has more energy, and is healthier than ever. He refers to his diet change as, "turning a ship around before it hits the iceberg." But where is YOUR ship headed? In order to avoid the "iceberg" in your own life, you need to do as Clinton did: stop consuming all animal source foods if you wish to escape a long list of physical problems – including but not limited to clogged arteries, high blood pressure, stents, by-passes, heart attacks, and strokes.

Taking Back Your Health

It’s not just people Clinton’s age that need to turn the ship around. Compelling evidence shows that the atherosclerotic process (buildup of fatty plaque in arteries) begins in childhood and progresses slowly into adulthood. Then it often leads to coronary heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States. During the Vietnam War, autopsies on soldiers who died on the battlefield revealed many had a 50% blockage while 6 out of 94 soldiers had so much plaque buildup that 75% to 90% of an artery was blocked. Arteries carry blood to and from the heart and into capillaries. Exchange of oxygen, nutrients, and waste material takes place across capillary walls. The interior of arteries should be smooth and unobstructed, but as one ages, if they consume a diet high in animal fat, a sticky substance commonly called plaque can develop and build up on the interior arterial walls. This plaque is comprised of fatty acids, calcium, and fibrous connective tissue.

Where Does Fat and Plaque Come From?

Friend, that buildup of fat and plaque in the arteries doesn’t just appear out of nowhere — it comes from what a person eats and drinks! People may blame genes, but the culprit is clearly diet. As the Bible implies in Proverbs 26:2, “The curse causeless shall not come.” In other words, the curse of the narrowing of those arteries by that fat and plaque buildup had a CAUSE – wrong diet. Sadly, in today’s society, we do not seek the CAUSE of high blood pressure or that fat and plaque buildup, but rather deal exclusively with the symptom. But here is the GOOD news! In most instances, you can eliminate the need for high blood pressure medicine, stents, and bypass surgery by simply taking personal control and changing what you eat and drink. Stop putting the animal fat into your body and the body will immediately set about removing that fat and plaque buildup on its own and without a doctor’s help. The Bible explains how you got into this situation and how you can get out in Galatians 6:7: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” The law of sowing and reaping can be a curse or a blessing. This gives you the ability to CHOOSE the end result.

Hallelujah Diet To The Rescue

The Hallelujah Acres Diet contains zero animal fat. In place of the meat and dairy — which contains that animal fat that cause heart attacks and strokes — we replace the animal sourced foods with a 100% plant-based diet, the very diet Dr. Campbell speaks of! As I conclude this article, let me share where the diet we proclaim here at Hallelujah Acres came from. It came from God! This diet is found in your Bible in Genesis 1:29. God gave this diet to Adam immediately after creating him. And what’s good for Adam is good for us today. A 100% plant-based diet is what God designed our physical bodies to be nourished with and thrive on. This diet is comprised of 100% plant foods and contains zero animal fat. The diet former President Bill Clinton adopted to prevent further damage to his cardiovascular system is very similar to the diet we have been promoting here at Hallelujah Acres for nearly 20 years.

Have you adopted The Hallelujah Diet yet? It could not only prevent the need for a stent or bypass surgery, but also prevent a heart attack or stroke that could end your life. Make the diet change today — do your best to keep your body fit for the Master’s use!
