THE FRONTAL LOBE

The human brain is divided into several sections or lobes. Each lobe has its distinct role and function. Just behind the forehead, the largest brain lobe is called the Frontal Lobe.

The frontal lobe is the seat of judgment, reasoning, intellect and will. Designed to be the control center of our body, its function affects our individuality and character, morality and spirituality. Among created life, man has been endowed with the most sizable frontal lobe. Man’s total brain size is 33-38% frontal lobe. Our understanding of man’s threedimensional nature (mental, physical, spiritual) is even more strikingly demonstrated by this fact. Yet, looking at the animal creation we see an interesting set of comparisons to be made. First, frontal lobe sizes:

Cat - 3.5%

Dog - 7%

Chimpanzee - 17%

Human - 33-38%

In addition, many animals have areas of the brain that are more developed than man! The cerebellum which governs coordination and agility (touch), the occipital lobe controls vision (sight) etc. show that the animal kingdom operate by design more distinctly by sensory input (the senses) or instinct than reason. The frontal lobes role in both decision-making and spirituality is here highlighted in contrast to the lower forms of life. Mans spirituality is superior to and not to be confused with sensory or mere emotional stimulus or evidence but the “evidence of things unseen” or spiritual.

Damage to this “Crown of the Brain” would definitely lead to serious problems with an individual’s spirituality, morality, decision-making, intellectual ability and will power.

What inhibits the power of the Frontal Lobes activity?

Narcotics Marijuana, Heroin, Cocaine

Drug Medications Beta antagonist (asthma), Beta Blockers (High BP),

Pain Relievers etc.

Alcohol Reduces oxygen in blood, noticeable reduction of frontal lobe gray tissue disrupts brain chemistry (neurotransmitters in brain) (delirium, anxiety, neurosis) dopamine. Caffeine  Adenosine, acetylcholine.  Increased dopamine levels and depression linked to caffeine consumption.

Nicotine Addictive agents and affect on will and judgment center of brain

Sugar:  Refined sugar causes glucose levels to fluctuate precipitating a lack of nutrients to the brain inhibiting brain function

Cheese: Tyramine affect on brain (frontal lobe) function is two-fold. It stimulates the bodies stress hormone system releasing a chemical called norepinephrine the main chemical for stress response. This reduces blood flow to brain and critical thinking impairment

Meats: Arachidonic Acid found almost exclusively in meats interferes with storage of acetylchloline, the neurotransmitter essential for proper brain (frontal lobe) activity.

Once the controlling influence of frontal lobe activity is neutralized by diet or lifestyle practice, the brain operation shifts from its designed balance of spirituality, reason and conscious bearing sway to the sensory and instinctual elements of the mind bearing rule as in the animal kingdom. The lower powers of the mind dealing with appetite, emotions, sleep cycles, sex drive etc. and the autonomic functions of the body as controlled by the master gland called the Hypothalamus, now predominate. The power of choice and will power become subordinate to appetite and passion. The hypothalamus’ role in controlling the animal propensities in man held in subjection to morality, spirituality and reason as regulated by the Frontal Lobe is no longer in effect. The prevalence of eating disorders, obesity, sleep disorders, immorality, rage and violence are symptomatic of diet and lifestyle choices daily made. The food choices we make affect our continued ability to make choices. The connection between diet and spirituality is more than evident.

Current Findings in the News

BRAIN & VIOLENCE

USA Today - May 10 2001

Greg Barnett Gannett News Service

The following are highlights from a recent article on Frontal Lobe activity and thought processes!

(At the forefront of the brain or buried near it stem is the glue of civility)

(Brain Science believes that remorse springs from the dense grey matter of our skull, in the frontal lobe or the limbic regions.)

(Because of inadquate blood supply to the frontal lobe or the limbic region of the brain, visible in the MRI, science believes some people react indifferently to unpleasant stimuli.

Like a knot in a water hose, the flow of emotion is stymied.)

(In studies reported by by Harvard.....several psychological and neuropsychological tests indicated neurolgical abnormalities in violent sociopaths. Also present in the sociopaths were low levels of the neurotransmiter serotonin, which has been associated with impulsive violence.)

To improve brain function both in spiritual and intellectual pursuits a rational method of replacing the items heretofore found to be counterproductive must be implemented.

A Closer Look at Dietary Implications

A Summary of the Main Offenders

Alcohol

Caffeine

Tobacco

Drugs

Sugar

Cheese

Meat Products

Also a factor not widely mentioned are chemical or drug like substances in foods called

“Food Additives”. Mainly used for preserving, adding color, texture, or flavoring to most processed foods, these chemical agents are the source of many allergies and chronic illnesses.

How to Prepare “Something Better” for Meals

A plant-based diet free from food additives will both feed the body and begin a restoration in the system. In the following pages we will outline a summary of 8

Fundamental Natural Laws and a Program of Balanced (Plant-Based) Diet that will aid your health reform

GODSPLAN – The Eight Laws of Health

1. Godly Trust:

An abiding faith in a loving God will help you rest as well. Rest your life in His hands. He has made every provision to forgive every sin and cleanse every sinner of all our past mistakes. Ask Him. He promises to blot out all those mental records of sin in the heart, the love for sin that tempt us.

He has also put Himself on record in the Bible to keep us from sinning and help us obey His law from love, if we will only “be willing to be made willing”. He wants us to work our minds so that we want to do right, as well as to supply is with power so that we will, indeed obey Him. His laws are really promises.

Every promise that He has made by way of a law, is part of our inheritance.

(Deuteronomy 33:4; Galatians 3:17-19) In order to start obtaining our inheritance from the heavenly Father, we must be “born again” or be adopted into His family.

We then have the right to go by prayer to His throne in the courts of heaven and present our request to Jesus, the Executor-Mediator, of the estate. If we go by faith after repentance and dedication to Him, the request will be freely granted if our request is according to the “will” of God.

Jesus said in His prayer for the disciples: “The kingdom come; Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven…”

2. Open Air:

Pure fresh air is very important. That means good air with negatively ionized particles from forests and oceans. Breathe deeply as part of your exercise. Do not smoke tobacco or breathe second-hand smoke. Avoid smog and all chemicals, cleaning solutions, solvents, paint removers, insect sprays, deodorants, hair dyes, disinfectants, pest strips, etc.

3. Daily Exercise:

“Conditioning” exercise is what you need. This is the type of exercise that will increase tour endurance gradually. You may use three things to help you guide yourself I the intensity that you exercise.

Guide (1) Learn what your safe ten-second pulse rate for your age should be during exercise. Learn how to count your ten-second-pulse beat and exercise up to that degree.

Guide (2) Exercise to the intensity that you are barely able to carry on a conversation with someone as you exercise.

Guide (3) If you should develop chest pain during exercise, stop at that point.

Follow the advice of your physician.

Exercise a minimum of 20-30 minutes at the peak of endurance daily if at all possible, at least every other day. The body forces seem to “escape” from good condition rather easily.

Walking is good exercise. Act your age – use a walking stick for stability and for protection against stray dogs.

4. Sunshine:

Sunshine has several benefits to the body. It furnishes the natural vitamin D and

helps to lower cholesterol. It increases the volume of oxygen in the blood.

Sunshine also aids in getting insulin to the cells and tissues where it is needed.

Start with 10 – 15 minutes exposure to the face and hands daily up to 30 minutes

daily. The body stores the vitamin D readily for over a week. Avoid burning.

5. Plenty of Rest:

Get adequate restful sleep. A light supper will help. Try to avoid stressful circumstances. Establish good habits and this will help. Anyone familiar with “jet lag” knows how well the body works with habits. A relaxing soak in warm water may help you unwind enough after a stressful day so that you will not need that harmful sleeping pill. Regular times for going to bed and rising will also help. The best time to go to bed is between 9:00 – 9:30 P.M. and no later.

6. Lots of Water:

Internal use of water: The body needs water for optimal function. Drink daily eight to ten glasses of pure, distilled water and more if you sweat much. This will help your endurance. Carry a supply with you. Drink water upon arising; between meals, but early enough before bedtime so that you do not have to get up from sleep to empty your bladder. Upon rising, drink 2 glasses at room temperature with a freshly squeezed lemon in it.

7. Always Temperate:

Abstain from all harmful substances. Absolutely avoid coffee, tea (except herb teas), colas and soft drinks. For a few weeks avoid any hot or cold/frozen foods or drinks. The stomach has to work hard to either cool or warm the food to the proper temperature to digest. Eat no flesh food or canned “fake meat”. They contain too many carcinogens. Us no dairy products (butter, milk, cheese-even cottage or cream cheese – or whey. Read labels and buy nothing with chemicals as an ingredient. A safe rule: if you can’t pronounce the name it probably isn’t safe to eat. Use no eggs or egg products. Use no vinegar or products containing it (pickles, ketchup, mayonnaise, salad dressing, etc.) Use no spices. Spices are parts of trees or plants that grow in tropical regions.

Herbs are parts of plants that grow in temperate regions. (Examples of spices: allspice, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, mustard seed, and nutmeg). There are many good herbs to take their place (basil, bay leaf, coriander, cilantro, cumin, dill, fennel, marjoram, mint, paprika, parsley, rosemary, saffron, sage, savory, tarragon, thyme). Use no irritating peppers (black pepper, white pepper, or hot peppers – jalapeno, chili, or pepper sauce). Cayenne pepper can be used medicinally. Bell, pimento, cherry, banana and all “not hot” peppers are O.K. Use no baking soda or baking powder even if they have had the aluminum removed. Eat bread products raised with yeast or hydrogen peroxide or unraised crackers/breads. Watch labels because many items contain baking powder or soda (crackers, cookies, cereals, even some bottled water). Reduce the oil or fat consumption. For the first few weeks eliminate margarine and do not fry any foods. User no  sugars, brown sugar, artificial sweeteners or products containing them. Replace with honey, molasses, or maple syrup.

Be moderate even in the good things. Do not overeat of even good foods. Do not eat too many varieties at one meal. Three or four items are plenty. Eat food at meal times. Drink no water with meals. Chew slowly and let the saliva in the mouth mix with the food. Don’t swallow it until it’s “creamy”. The saliva is needed to help the stomach digest the food. Even any small amount if juice or liquid at a meal should be swished around in the mouth to mix it with the saliva.

Do not mix fruits and vegetables at a meal. Grains may be eaten with either fruits or vegetables. See God’s Plan Basic Menu.

Wait at least 5 hours from the time one meal is ended before the next is started.

The stomach needs about four hours to digest its food. It also needs to rest before more food is introduced. Most people overwork the stomach, and it is never allowed to rest. Two meals a day is the best plan (8:00 A.M. and 2:00 – 3:00

P.M. are  good times). If you want three, 6:30; 12:00 & 5:30 are about the best times. Several hours need to elapse after supper before bedtime since digestion ceases when sleep begins. All food needs to be digested before bedtime. Food that does not digest in the four-hour time period begins to ferment, and upset stomach may be the result.

Eat NOTHING between meals. Any little crumb of food makes your stomach start the entire process of digestion all over again. That means don’t even “taste” something being cooked for another meal. Chewing gum is also a “no-no since the mouth continues to produce saliva to digest it since it thinks the gum is food. Drink water between meals.

Clothing should be modest and keep all the extremities warm, but wear as many layers on them as are worn on the trunk to avoid congestion of blood in the trunk.

No tight bands or belts should be used. Suspenders are usually better than a belt to hold up pants. Weight from clothing should rest upon the shoulders and not on the waist.

1. Nutrition:

The aim of the diet is to help you (1) avoid all refined foods; (2) select proper foods for adequate intake of balanced amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements; (3) choose types of nutrients which will help you lose weight as needed and clear the body of excess cholesterol and other unwanted materials that cause degeneration of the tissues.

Therefore, we use the following rules:

1. No refined foods:

No oil, margarine, shortening.

No sugar, syrup, or free starch.

No white bread, white rice, or degerminated corn meal.

No meat substitutes – gluten or soy types.

2. No animal products:

No meat, fish or fowl.

No eggs or egg yolk

No milk products – milk, cheese, cream, ice cream, etc.

3. Special items NOT allowed:

No alcoholic beverages, tea, coffee, or cola drinks.

No sprayed, sulfured, or canned (in meal) fruit.

No canned or frozen juices.

No peanuts or peanut butter.

No sprayed or canned vegetables. When fresh vegetables are not available, frozen are preferable to canned.

No nightshades: (green peppers, eggplants, white potatoes).

These contain a toxin called discomfort. These foods may not affect every individual; therefore, you must experiment and see.

4. The allowed foods are:

Note: All food should be fresh, unspoiled, “organically grown so far as possible. The object is to avoid insecticides and other sprays as well as to get produce with the best balance of trace minerals from the soil.

All fruit, preferably fresh.  Second choice canned in glass with fruit juice or water packed.

All greens, especially cabbage, broccoli, turnip greens, mustard greens, collard, or kale. Use spinach, chard, or beet greens sparingly because of oxalate content.

All herbs that are mild.

All legumes (beans, peas, lentiles, and garbanzos).

All whole grains. You need two kinds daily plus a legume to get optimal balance of amino acids.

Nuts in moderation. The better one are the non-tropical nuts such as almonds, filberts, pecans, and walnuts.

5. Diet can be secured from daily servings of the foods listed below:

A citrus fruit plus another fruit.

A yellow vegetable such as carrots, etc.

A green vegetable, greens or herbs

A legume

Two types of whole grains

Tubers and nuts may be added as desired by the appetite.

6. Special instructions:

Cook in stainless steel, corning ware, or pyrex glass

No aluminum cookware

Avoid microwaves

No pressure cooking

No “irradiated” produce

7. General rules for good digestion are as follows:

Eat slowly; chew your food thoroughly, to allow saliva to mix with the food.

Avoid liquids with meals. These decrease the flow of saliva with its digestive enzymes.
