A Secret to Living 100 Years

In Bulgaria, 1500 people out of a million live to be 100 years of age. In America, only 9 out of a million get there.

According to Metchnikoff, the father of modern-time fermented milk, and former head of the Pasteur Institute in Paris, the people (Bulgarians, Turks, Arabs) who are "addicted to the use of fermented milk as the English are to tea" produce more centurions than any other nationality.

Fermented milk, known to many of us as "yogurt", or "kefir" which is also called "soured, turned, curdled, and clabbered" milk, can neutralize the bowel with its good bacteria, and help inhibit decay-producing, put refractive bacteria. A chiropractic physician who helped popularize healthy eating, Dr. Bernard Jensen, believed that all ailments have their origins in the gastrointestinal system, primarily the bowel, or large intestine. According to his teachings, the degree the large intestine (aka colon) harbors good life-giving bacteria to keep the cleansing system in check, is to the degree one will live along life.

An amazing experiment was done by a man named John Harvey Kellogg that demonstrated how the bacterial cultures in soured milk can have preservative effects on healthy flesh. He took a one pound piece of raw meat and immersed it in buttermilk. He changed the buttermilk at regular intervals (my source did not reveal at what intervals) The meat remained perfectly free of decomposition for 20 years!

There are other wonderful ways to get good bacterial cultures into your diet, such as cultured vegetables: (www.culturedvegetables.com/).  Also acidophilus tablets, capsules, or powders are good ways to populate the gut.

Young Living makes a good acidophilus tablet called Royaldophilus
The best time to ingest your good cultured foods are on an empty stomach, so that the population of good bacteria can take place in the entire gastrointestinal tract.
