Dr. Patricia Bragg, First Lady of Natural Living, sends healthy congratulations to friend Jim Burke, who won in the Best Motion Picture Drama category. Leading man, George Clooney, won Best Actor Film Drama. Burke, a native of Minnesota with many major films to his credit, and his girlfriend, actress Christina Simpkins, are loyal users of Bragg Health Products and take the famous Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar on a daily basis as part of their healthy lifestyle.

In photo at top, Burke, Bragg and Simpkins are seen at Outrigger Canoe Club on Waikiki Beach in Hawaii. Patricia describes Burke…"As an extremely handsome man whose energy and vision are very much in line with the Bragg Healthy Lifestyle. The Descendants is an excellent film, and everyone involved deserves credit for their Golden Globe Award. It is a touching story, with a view into Hawaiian life that also mirrors human stories all over the world."

The Descendants is based on a book by Kau Hart Hemmings and the film producers employed many Hawaiian actors. Actor George Clooney plays a Hawaiian land owner, who has inherited not only land, but the responsibility for carrying on the family legacy. The film gains in intensity as his wife suffers a boating accident and ends up in a coma. His history, marriage, relationship with his daughter, and life as the scion of a prominent family, all come into focus when, after the accident, sadly, his wife's extra-marital affair comes to light.



The Bragg Hawaii Health Legacy:



Patricia Bragg has an extensive history in Hawaii with her father, Dr. Paul C. Bragg, a health pioneer and originator of health stores, who first met Hawaii's famous surfer and 5-time, Olympic swimming champion, Duke Kahanamoku, in Belgium at the Olympics in 1920. They struck up a friendship and The Duke invited Paul to come to Hawaii. Patricia is the God-daughter of Mrs. Duke Kahanamoku. Patricia is in Waikiki right now delivering lectures, doing radio and TV shows and conducting the famous Bragg Exercise Class started by her father over 40 years ago. The class is held 6 days a week on the Fort DeRussy Lawn in Waikiki from 9 am to 10:30 am. Here's the class description with video, www.BraggHawaiiExercise.com.

The Bragg Exercise Class was founded by Dr. Paul C. Bragg, who became a Hawaii and Worldwide Health Crusader and Fitness Legend. He wanted to create a FREE Community Exercise Class in Waikiki for Hawaii residents and for visitors to the Islands. Dr. Bragg taught these classes himself. He later enlisted volunteers who could teach the Bragg Super Power Breathing Health & Fitness Exercises. Today, dedicated volunteers continue to teach these classes at no charge to the public. When she is in Hawaii, though, Patricia continues her father's health legacy by supporting the Bragg Exercise Class. She also has done an amazing job of leading her father's Bragg Live Food Products Company and publishing award-winning Bragg Health Books that she and her father Co-Authored.



"To maintain good health, normal weight and increase the good life of radiant health, joy, and happiness, the body must be exercised properly (stretching, walking, aerobics, jogging, running, biking, swimming, deep breathing, good posture, etc.) and nourished wisely with healthy foods." ~ Paul C. Bragg, N.D. Ph.D.





About Bragg Live Foods:



In 1912, Paul Bragg pioneered healthy living in Los Angeles. From that humble beginning, he helped Hollywood's early stars, such as Gloria Swanson and Robert Cummings, become Bragg Health Food followers. He ultimately built the international health products company which produced more than 365 products. Bragg Live Foods, now run by Patricia, called the First Lady of Natural Living, is launching a number of 100th Anniversary Special Events for 2012.

The Bragg Vision for the future is exciting! Continuing the Bragg Legacy and Crusade, Bragg Live Food Products is developing a 120-acre organic farm on the outskirts of Santa Barbara, California. The property is a teaching model for school children of all ages to learn organic gardening and healthy living. The Bragg Health Institute was inspired, in part, by an educational program called "Bring a Farmer to School", in which Patricia, who is also the Director of Health Science: Dr. John Westerdahl and Bragg's Organic Farmers were invited to speak to children at the local elementary schools. The focus of the education outreach is to teach children about the importance of eating more organic fruits & vegetables and how organic farming plays an important role in environmentally - friendly, health plant foods. Last year the Bragg Health Institute donated thousands of

Organic apples to the local school districts which were grown on the Bragg Organic Farm.

This year marks the 100th birthday of Bragg Live Foods. When Paul Bragg created the company in 1912, he ignited a health revolution that has resulted in entire industries dedicated to creating healthy food products. His amazing legacy, detailed below, began when he was stricken with tuberculosis and found a cure at a Swiss Clinic. He returned and founded America's first Health Food Store. He was the first to introduce the benefits of purified water, juices, herbal teas and organic foods to the U.S. market; and:

• He started the first modern Health Food Store in America, and originated the name.

• He was the first person to introduce to the Pineapple Juice, then later Tomato Juice, to the American public. Before this, people thought these juices would be too acidic, but soon these juices became some of America's favorite beverages.

• He was also the first person to introduce Honey nationwide by making it available to the general public, before it was available only at roadside stands by the farmer.

• He pioneered Health Radio in Hollywood in the 1920s, with his 3-times daily Program on Health.

• He also created the TV Show, "Health and Happiness," which helped spread exactly that throughout the country. The half-hour show aired 5 days a week and offered exercises, health recipes, and celebrities sharing health and happiness secrets with viewers.
