00:01 Protein builds muscles so I need protein,
00:04 besides only place to get complete protein is 00:08 from animal kingdom. If that's what you think 00:11 then today's program is just for you, entitled 00:14 protein without the baloney, stay with us. 00:45 Hi, welcome to Abundant Living, my name is 00:47 Curtis Eakins and this is my partner and my 00:50 friend Paula Eakins. Hello, hello kind of, also 00:56 my wife, I just like to add too, oh thank you, 00:58 you are my wife, I'm your wife, yes, beautiful 01:01 I love you very much thank you, okay thank 01:03 you love me more, more, more and I love you 01:07 I love you more okay, okay well, that's a little 01:09 contest we have, who loves a person more, 01:12 anyway, that's a running contest. 01:14 But again, protein without the baloney. 01:17 Now of course in a tease, we need protein to 01:21 build muscle and I want to start this program 01:24 by saying this honey, from the outside, that 01:27 said that there was an article in vegetarian 01:29 times some years ago I still have the article 01:38 and it was entitled meatless muscles, 01:39 it has in that article because been a former 01:40 bodybuilder years ago I was very interested in 01:43 this article in the vegetarian times and it 01:46 had several body builders who were 01:49 vegetarians. Now we're not talking about body 01:52 builders who just came to the gym one or two 01:54 times, these are top notched body builders and 01:59 they entitled the article meatless muscles and 02:03 the first one was Andrius Colleen, 02:07 he was a 13 year bodybuilder and was 02:11 Mr. international. I remember him, building 02:14 muscles, I remember him, alright, without 02:17 animal protein. Yeah, yeah, the second guy 02:20 that it had in article was Bill Pearl, he was a 02:24 four time Mr. Universe building muscles 02:29 without meat, meatless muscles and of course 02:32 being a bodybuilder I was very interested in 02:34 that of course at the Huntsville Hospital, where I 02:36 used to work years ago, everyone knew that I 02:38 was a vegetarian and of course I would get 02:41 teased quite often of course it didn't, I didn't 02:43 mind that. I had several nick names salad 02:47 shooter, Tofu head, you know that kind of 02:49 thing. So, when some of the guys who used to 02:52 tease me and some of these people were 02:54 maybe 10-15 years younger than I was, 02:58 I would wait till a whole lot of nurses get 02:59 around, then I tell the person who is teasing 03:02 me, all of this time, I said okay I'll tell you 03:05 what how about an Indian Wrestle and I know 03:08 this is an international program, so that means 03:10 that you have a table and you put your elbow 03:14 on the table and then clap hands and you see 03:17 who can you know win the contest as far as 03:20 getting your hand back to the other side of the 03:23 table. So, I tell you what every single match I 03:28 won and that's why I as a person never had 03:31 any comments or I know that and tease me 03:33 any time after that. But meatless muscles and 03:38 so therefore this program is very popular and it's 03:40 needed in the society today because some 03:43 people think that we need animal protein to 03:46 build muscles. Well, why don't we discuss 03:48 then what exactly is protein. Well protein 03:51 basically is a compound found in foods and it 03:54 helps the body to maintain itself on a daily 03:57 basis. Why is so important for us to 03:59 have it? Well protein again compounds, 04:03 those compounds we call amino acids and 04:05 amino acids is very important as far as 04:08 tissue and cell growth, hemoglobin 04:11 production, red blood cells for hormone 04:14 processes, produce of hormones, a vision is 04:20 also good for that and so protein is good for a 04:23 lot of things and so that's why we need 04:25 protein on a daily basis because we need red 04:28 blood cells and we need antibodies, protein 04:31 protein does that as well. We need hormone 04:33 productions, protein is responsible for that as 04:35 well so again protein is very vital to sustain 04:39 life on a daily basis. Well, what are the best 04:42 sources when we talk about protein, the best source 04:44 is a best way to get that in. Okay the best 04:46 source is, let's go to God's word and we have a 04:49 clue as far as the best source of protein, we read this 04:53 verse before honey you maybe remember this, 04:56 but it's good to re-read it again, this is found in 04:59 Genesis chapter 1, this is right after God 05:02 created mankind and so we give, God gives us 05:08 a instruction as far as the diet for mankind in 05:10 verse 29, the Bible says this. And God said 05:15 behold I had given you every herb bearing 05:18 seed which is upon the face up all the earth 05:22 and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree 05:26 yielding seed to you is shall be for meat or 05:32 another correct more translation is food, 05:35 because in that text there is no meat listed 05:38 in that verse. So the word meat means food 05:41 and then after sin of course, Genesis 3 in 05:44 verse 18, the Bible says in addition to that 05:48 thou shall eat the herb of the field. Now with 05:52 that in mind, it kind of gives you an idea of 05:56 the source of protein and those two verses of 05:59 scripture before sin and after sin, there was no 06:05 animal protein mentioned at all. Plant protein 06:11 from the plant kingdom, either from the fruit 06:14 or the nuts or from the ground, which is the 06:17 legumes, vegetables and whole grain. 06:20 Now having said that, let's go to our first 06:22 graphic and let's see about the plant protein. 06:26 The best source, this is from the American 06:29 Journal of Clinical Nutrition it says, "Plant 06:33 protein alone can provide adequate amounts of 06:39 amino acids if a variety of plant foods are 06:43 consumed." Plant protein, the best source. 06:48 Now people maybe looking at that and 06:50 saying wait a minute now, because plant 06:53 protein is really incomplete, it doesn't 06:56 have all of the amino acids and either one of 06:59 the foods in the plant kingdom so, let's talk 07:01 about that honey, what is, how can we get 07:04 complete protein from the plant kingdom? 07:06 Well, you know many years ago, when people 07:09 began talking more about vegetarianism, 07:11 you use to always hear words, there's not 07:13 enough calcium available to us not enough iron 07:15 available to us and of course certainly not 07:17 enough protein available and for a long time 07:19 people, did not want to switch over because 07:21 they felt they were going to not have the 07:22 amount of any of these and specifically 07:25 protein because it's function in the body. 07:27 Hmm, and what has happened is through the 07:29 years, the scientific community has now come 07:31 back and said you know you can have a 07:34 protein source incomplete let's say for instance 07:36 you might have beans in the morning for your 07:40 breakfast meal and you might not have it at 07:42 lunch time with rice, so the combination of 07:44 beans and rice together will make it complete 07:46 protein. Okay. The combination of beans and 07:49 some type of bread, wheat product would give 07:52 you a complete protein, so everybody was 07:53 trying so busy to match mix and match things 07:56 together and what they discovered was that 07:58 you could have an incomplete protein in the 08:00 morning you can have an incomplete protein 08:02 in the afternoon and because of the time frame 08:05 that is still considered as complete protein. 08:08 Okay so therefore in the past they said that 08:12 you suggest to have always together, always 08:14 together at the same meal, right, right okay, 08:16 but now you don't have to do it at the same 08:18 meal yeah, you can have your legume at one 08:20 meal and a whole grain at the other meal and 08:22 therefore it still be complete in that one day, 08:25 right. Well actually it was always that way, 08:26 it's just that science said now, you're just now 08:29 catching up, yeah, yeah. Because you know 08:31 we go back and we, they go back and forth 08:33 for different things but that's been a big 08:34 question and a lot of people have asked that 08:36 question and I think that as a result of it that's 08:38 one of the things that has actually caused more 08:40 study to be out, talking about the combination, 08:43 but what a real good source to actually get 08:46 that now to know that, you know and God 08:48 knew what he was doing, right, I mean he 08:50 says fruits and vegetables and grains and 08:51 cereals, that's what he said alright, right, right. 08:53 So it's just a matter of us really catching up 08:55 with God. Yeah and I think again a lot of 08:57 people still think that we need protein to build 09:02 muscle and a part of it said that protein does 09:06 not build muscle, what builds muscle is 09:10 exercise and we get more than enough of our 09:13 share of protein, we're gonna have to little skit 09:15 in the kitchen and you'll discover that how 09:17 much protein that most people get on a daily 09:19 basis, but exercise builds muscles and I 09:23 think because muscles contain protein, people 09:27 assume that protein builds muscle, hmm. 09:31 Well, the body contains a lot of water that 09:34 doesn't mean that water builds the body, right, 09:36 so it's the same scenario. Well, we, the 09:38 question is how, how much do we actually 09:39 need to have? How much protein do we need, 09:42 now of course you read all types of medical 09:44 journals and websites and they tell you that 09:47 sometimes based on your weight, that based 09:51 on your weight determines how much protein 09:53 you need. So if you're 70 pounds then you 09:57 shall have at least 35 grams of protein, half of 10:00 your weight, alright, but we do not endorse 10:04 that and so therefore with that in mind and 10:06 is how it really started back in the 1800s, 10:08 about this protein and how much we really 10:10 need. To look at a set of coal miners and they 10:14 were you know healthy, strong, they're 10:15 working the coal mines and they decided to 10:18 watch how much protein those coal miners ate 10:23 on a daily basis. They discovered that they ate 10:25 a 118 grams of protein per day, okay, so what 10:30 they did is in 1800s they rounded it up to a 10:32 120 and that's hard they started with the amount 10:35 of protein people need on a daily basis and 10:38 then before long as years gone by they 10:41 decided that 120 is not, is too much than what 10:47 we need. Hmm, so they started lowering the 10:49 amount of protein slowly going down after 10:53 year after year after year, so realize but it 10:56 started at a high level of 120 grams of protein. 10:59 Now, based on international studies 11:02 around the world, it's determined that we eat 11:04 about 25 to 35 grams of protein per day, 11:10 alright. Okay. Now having said that, if a 11:13 person is on a plant based diet, it's easy to 11:18 get that 25 to 35 grams of protein per day, 11:21 but now if you get your protein from the 11:22 animal kingdom then you can overwrite that 11:26 by a long short as far as getting too much 11:28 protein. Hmm, what happens if we have too 11:33 much protein? Well, now a lot of things can 11:36 happen when we get in too much protein, 11:38 again as I mentioned before we cannot get a 11:41 lot of protein if we get our protein from the 11:44 plant kingdom, if we get too much protein 11:46 more than likely we're getting our protein 11:48 from the animal kingdom, because the animal 11:50 kingdom is loaded with protein. Okay and you 11:53 may say that's a good idea, but not really 11:55 because with that comes some other things 11:58 that's brought to the table along with the 12:00 animal protein Hmm. You also have 12:03 cholesterol, hmm, you also have saturated fat, 12:10 these two combinations reeks havoc with the 12:13 cardiovascular system. Which you do not get 12:17 from plant protein. Okay, so with that you 12:21 increase your risk of heart disease and stroke, 12:25 that's number one, number two, lets look at 12:27 the kidneys. Now, I call the kidneys our 12:30 internal washing machine and the kidneys 12:33 work admirably in doing that, but now the 12:37 kidneys cannot work at it's top level if there is 12:41 too much protein in the system. It puts an undo 12:45 burden on the kidneys, with that in mind 12:48 animal protein stresses out the kidneys they 12:51 cannot perform their job admirably, so 12:53 therefore you have increase of renal failure 12:58 and kidney stones. Which is about 80% are 13:02 cholesterol. Let's look at fat, if we get too 13:06 much protein again we're talking about the 13:09 animal protein, you really can't get a whole 13:11 lot in the plant protein, then excess protein 13:14 that the body needs converts over into our 13:18 fat cells. Therefore you have increase of weight, 13:23 with the increase of weight increased stress 13:25 of the skeletal system which is now talking 13:28 about osteoporosis, that also depletes calcium 13:33 from the bone. So all of these problems when 13:35 we get too much excess protein into our 13:39 system. Thereby that's why we suggest plant 13:43 protein based on Genesis 1:29, based on 13:46 Genesis 3:18 is the best protein available and 13:50 that's why we emphasize in this 13:52 Abundant Living program and also in other 13:53 programs in Abundant Living and also on 13:56 3ABN I should say, we emphasize God's 14:00 original diet a plant based protein. Well, we 14:04 can never go wrong with God's original diet. 14:06 No, you can't. That's for sure, that's for sure. 14:08 I know you're saying, well speaking about the 14:09 original diet are they going into the kitchen. 14:12 Well, the answer is yes we are, as a matter of 14:14 fact we're gonna be doing a fantastic dish 14:16 that deals with a plant based protein. Oh okay 14:20 called Hungarian Goulash. Get your paper and 14:23 pencil and meet us in the kitchen. |
