00:01 Osteoporosis is a condition that plagues women,
00:03 when they get older. 00:05 But it doesn't have to be that way. 00:06 There are things you can do to prevent it, 00:09 or to help reverse it. 00:10 Want to find out how? Stay tuned for Body & Spirit. 00:44 I'm Dick Nunez, 00:45 co-owner of Fit-In-15 personal training services. 00:48 Welcome to Body & Spirit. 00:50 Young girls of today don't realize 00:52 that they might be in trouble later on down the line. 00:54 None of them want to be stooped over or bent down 00:57 from osteoporosis, but unfortunately, 00:59 with the lifestyle patterns of today's girls, 01:02 it's going to be more reality than ever. 01:04 They can think right now as they drink down their pops 01:07 and coffees and so on, 01:08 and eat their foods that they eat, 01:10 that it's not going to happen to them. 01:11 Well, many of the women you see now, 01:14 they are very stooped over. 01:15 At one time, also stood up nice and straight 01:17 and also didn't think it would ever happen to them. 01:20 But it will, but we're going to talk about some things 01:22 to help prevent that, to reduce your risk factors, 01:26 and the best way to do that is to get out of it 01:28 while you're young. 01:29 But even if you already have the battle of osteoporosis, 01:33 you can help yourself, by not getting any worse 01:36 or even I've seen happen before reverse it. 01:39 Well, we're going to talk about how to do that. 01:41 And we're going to start out our workout today, 01:43 helping me out will be Mary, 01:45 and she is all anxious to get started 01:47 with a good workout. 01:49 Mary is not in the osteoporotic category obviously yet, 01:53 but since she is a petite female, 01:55 she is what would be considered a higher risk factor 01:58 than somebody who is going to be 02:00 larger bone and so on and so forth. 02:01 That's why men tend not to get osteoporosis 02:03 because they just have bigger bones 02:04 in the first place. 02:05 But men can get it as well, and especially 02:07 with the terrible eating habits of today's society, 02:10 they can get it too. 02:11 So we're gonna talk more about that 02:13 as we go on, but we're going to start 02:14 by just gently warming up, 02:16 and were gonna just use some arm swings, Mary, 02:17 just come up and around like you're doing a backstroke 02:20 in the water. 02:23 I can't swim, so the best I can do 02:25 is just imagine right now. 02:26 I'm out there in the Caribbean, 02:28 and I'm doing a back. 02:29 Oh, there's a shark. 02:33 I'd be in big trouble. 02:37 Okay, let's go the other way. 02:43 I can't float so maybe someday if I ever visit the holy land, 02:46 I'll try the Dead Sea, we might float in that. 02:54 Okay, that's nice and easy, right? 02:57 Okay. 02:59 All right, that's good. 03:01 Now, when we're dealing with osteoporosis, 03:03 the greatest thing we can do is stimulate the muscles 03:07 and the bones, because when you do that, 03:09 and you put tension on those bones, 03:11 they causes a reaction within 03:14 that will actually pulls calcium 03:15 into the bone matrix. 03:16 When an astronaut goes up in the outer space, 03:19 they start to decalcify, because they're not, 03:22 they don't have gravity anymore. 03:23 So when they get back to earth, and start walking around 03:25 then their bones start to re-calcify. 03:27 So, we're going to start doing that and of course, 03:29 as I mentioned in the intro, 03:31 the best way for somebody like yourself 03:34 to avoid ever having it 03:35 is to get into regular exercise programs. 03:37 And especially, stimulating the muscles 03:38 around the spinal column, 03:41 because as you see the elderly ladies, 03:44 what happens to them, they start to bend, 03:46 so they stoop over like that. 03:47 So we keep those muscles strong, 03:49 we won't have that kind of problem. 03:51 So I'm going to get you a mat, 03:54 then we're going to start with some push ups. 03:56 We had some women in their 50s who had a push up contest, 04:00 and the best one did ten. 04:01 Oh, wow. 04:03 And so, we had an 86-year-old woman 04:05 who is already stooped from osteoporosis, 04:08 and she comes over and she goes, "Can I try?" 04:10 And they said, "Sure honey, go ahead." 04:13 So she gets on the floor and cranks off 18 push ups. 04:17 And she gets up, and she starts to walk away 04:21 and one of them said, "Wait a minute, 04:23 how did you do that." 04:25 Then she said, "Well, I've been doing Body & Spirit 04:28 for years, following Dick's workout. 04:30 And I start by doing push ups against the wall, 04:32 " where you just have your feet a couple feet back 04:34 and you lean into the wall and push up and she said, 04:37 "That started to get easy so I started doing them 04:39 off my knees. 04:40 And that got easy, so I just started 04:42 doing regular military pushups." 04:44 And she goes, "I usually do 20, 04:46 I actually had a bad day." 04:47 And she walked up like that, 04:49 so even though she already had osteoporosis, 04:52 she could still help herself out 04:54 by getting a whole lot stronger 04:56 and surprised me 04:57 even when she cranked off 20 push ups. 04:59 So, we're going to get in push up position, 05:01 and I'm gonna let you do in a modified position. 05:04 She, Mary has told me she can do regular push ups, 05:05 no problem, 05:07 but we're gonna do a little sequence here, 05:08 where I want you to come 05:10 in a triangular position like this with your hands. 05:13 We call this a push up medley, and I want you do ten of those. 05:16 Okay, for those at home, if you need to stop and rest, 05:18 that's okay. 05:20 Yeah, just bring in back 05:21 just a little bit further in here. 05:22 There you go. 05:26 Oh, no. 05:27 Those are little harder than regular push ups, 05:28 aren't they? 05:30 Yes. 05:31 Okay, let's go and go wide, 05:32 don't worry about doing ten of those. 05:34 Go wide, there you go. 05:38 And we're going to modify this, instead of having you do ten, 05:40 I'll just have you do seven, 05:42 and one more. 05:44 Okay. 05:45 Now, go and bring your hands 05:46 just to the edge of the mat there. 05:48 Okay. And now do seven of those. 05:54 And five, and six, and seven. 05:58 Now, we're gonna go back 05:59 trying to do the triangle again. 06:01 Now, see if you can do five of them. 06:03 Okay, push strong, one, two. Can't balance. 06:07 Yeah, those are tough. Three, four, one more time. 06:12 Okay, now go real wide. 06:14 Okay, now try and do ten of those. 06:16 Turn your hands forward though. 06:17 Okay, good. 06:19 There's two, and three, four, good, 06:23 you look good with that one. 06:26 Seven, eight, two more, last one, good. 06:30 Okay, now go back to a regular spot. 06:32 Bring your hands around the edge of the mat. 06:34 Okay. 06:35 And give me ten there, last ten. 06:38 Home stretch, you're looking good, 06:40 push strong. 06:43 As you get those muscles stimulating... 06:46 Seven. It's gonna help those bones. 06:48 That's it. What's that? 06:50 Seven. Do three more. 06:55 You got last one, push. All right, very good. 06:58 Okay, go and come back up. Okay. 07:01 I'm gonna take the mat away for a moment. 07:04 How that feel? 07:06 It was hard. It was hard. 07:09 Good, I'm glad you enjoyed them. 07:11 Now, we're gonna stretch, 07:12 put your hands behind your head, 07:14 and you lay back, chin up. 07:18 Just let your shoulders pull up, 07:21 and drop your elbows back, 07:23 and you feel the stretch across your chest, very good. 07:26 Now, give yourself a hug. 07:28 Reach around and grab your shoulder blades 07:31 and you gonna pull, pull this apart. 07:36 So you're just trying to pull your scapula apart. 07:39 There are 16 muscles 07:40 on each side of your scapula attach, 07:42 they have a very diverse network of movement so, 07:44 this is a very important area to keep flexible. 07:47 Okay. 07:48 Let's go back to the first position, 07:49 hands behind the head, head up, 07:52 drop the elbows back as far as possible, 07:55 stretch the chest 07:57 and we hold each stretch for about 15 seconds. 08:00 We don't want to create a pain situation, 08:02 because you can get 08:03 what's called the Golgi tendon response. 08:04 We just want to get a nice gentle stretch. 08:07 Okay, now go across again. 08:12 Okay, and pull apart. 08:18 Okay. That looks good. 08:20 Now, the next thing we're going to do 08:22 and we're actually not going to use 08:24 any weights for this, but this is one, 08:25 that we have to focus on contracting the muscles, 08:29 and in my years of bodybuilding 08:30 you learn just by flexing the muscles. 08:32 You can get a good training effect on it. 08:34 So, what we're going to do 08:36 is we're going to get our feet apart 08:38 and we're going to bend over to waist, 08:40 we're gonna reach out here like this, 08:42 and we're gonna pull in, and squeeze back hard, 08:45 and then we're gonna reach way out as far as you can. 08:47 Okay. 08:49 Pull and then back, go and keep going. 08:52 Okay, so you gonna contract hard there. 08:55 When you get back, hold that. 08:56 Contract these muscles hard as you can. 08:58 Okay, now reach out as far as you can, good. 09:01 Pull back in again. 09:03 Good, reach way out. 09:06 Okay. 09:07 So what you're doing 09:08 is you're acting like you're pulling something, 09:11 so you're trying to contract the muscles, 09:12 squeeze it back, hold it, and then reach way out. 09:17 Pull back, contract and then out. 09:20 Contract and out. Contract and out. 09:27 Contract and way out. 09:30 Contract and out. 09:33 Contract the muscles, out. 09:35 Again, out. 09:38 Okay, we're gonna do ten more of those. 09:42 And pull, contract. 09:45 Contract and pull, and pull. 09:51 Flex the muscles, flex the muscles each time. 09:54 Flex. Flex. 09:58 Flex. 10:00 Flex, one more time. 10:02 Now, just hold that contraction. 10:03 Flex it as hard as you can. 10:05 Flex. Flex. Flex. Flex. Flex. 10:09 Okay, relax. 10:11 Now oftentimes when people do that exercise 10:14 like with the pull down machine or a rowing machine. 10:17 If I ask a woman I said, "Where did you feel that out?" 10:19 She go right here. 10:21 Well, that means you're not focusing the muscles right. 10:23 You have to focus on 10:24 like what we're doing there squeezing together. 10:26 When you squeeze that muscle together 10:29 and get that image in your mind, 10:31 you get those muscles more stimulate. 10:32 Could you feel that at all? Yes, in the back. 10:35 Awesome! 10:36 That makes me very happy. Thank you. Okay. 10:39 Now, you're gonna pull one arm over the head, 10:41 then drop it down this way. 10:43 Okay, then you reach up with the other hand and pull. 10:47 And so what we're doing is 10:48 we're stretching the muscle through here, 10:50 that's where we're just working on. 10:53 The shoulders have a lot of motions 10:56 they go through. 10:57 Lot of people think well, upper body, lower body, 10:59 we can't always think that way, you got to think 11:01 chest, shoulders, back, arms, legs, hips, 11:05 abdominal, low back. 11:06 I mean, there's lots of different body areas, okay. 11:08 Go and relax, switch to the other side. 11:13 It's just said, in order to do a chest exercise, 11:17 a back exercise or shoulder exercise, 11:20 we still need to use our arms, so people mistakenly go, 11:23 "Well, this is an arm exercise." 11:24 No, it's not, it's a chest exercise, 11:26 or it's a shoulder exercise, or it's a back exercise. 11:30 You're just using your arms as part of that. 11:32 Okay. 11:33 Go and put it down. 11:34 Now, we're going to have some fun here. 11:36 You got to turn and face me. 11:39 Are you worried about what my version of fun is? 11:41 I think so. I think so, okay. 11:44 Do you know, wise girl? Okay. 11:46 We're going to do 11:47 what's called duelling deltoids. 11:49 Okay. 11:50 And so we're gonna put our arms out like this, 11:52 and so we got to keep our arms up the whole time. 11:55 All right, but we're also gonna do 11:57 some circles here. 11:58 Go forward. 12:00 Now, for those at home, if you need to drop your arms, 12:02 that's okay. 12:03 But Mary is really fit. 12:05 She runs a lot, she works out all the time. 12:07 So there's no real reason 12:08 why she's gonna have to drop her arms. 12:10 Okay, hold it, now back. 12:13 And I did a screening with her beforehand, 12:16 she told me she has no limitations. 12:17 Oh, no. So everything is good. 12:21 Okay, now let's back the other way. 12:24 Okay, now let's make our circles 12:25 a little bigger. 12:28 Okay, and smaller. 12:31 And bigger. 12:34 And smaller. 12:36 Now reverse it. 12:39 Bigger. 12:41 Smaller. 12:43 Reverse it. 12:45 Reverse it. Reverse it. 12:49 Bigger. 12:51 Smaller. 12:54 Okay, we're getting into the good part here, 12:55 real quick. 12:56 And reverse. And reverse. 13:01 Move on front again. Front, front, front. 13:04 Big. 13:06 Small. 13:08 Reverse. 13:12 Starting to feel on your shoulders? 13:14 Yes. Good. 13:15 Okay, reverse. 13:20 Okay, we're gonna get ready to hold this here 13:21 in just a moment. 13:23 Okay. 13:24 And in five seconds we're gonna start our hold. 13:30 Okay. And hold it. 13:33 Now, what we're gonna do is 13:34 we're gonna hold for one minute. 13:35 No. 13:37 That's... 13:38 You've been telling me all the things I want to hear. 13:40 Now that one I didn't want to hear. 13:44 Just relax. Oh, this feels good. 13:48 It's gonna feel really good 13:49 when you put your arms back down, 13:50 I assure you that. 13:52 We've already done 20 seconds, really isn't that bad. 13:56 Now, for those at home, again, if you need to drop your arms, 13:58 it's all right. 13:59 But we're gonna hang in there, we're gonna try 14:01 and get the whole thing in there. 14:02 Now, we're 30 second, we're half way there. 14:08 Feels so good, we're almost there. 14:13 Okay, and we're going to hold. Hold. 14:15 Hold for 15 more seconds. See, it's almost done. 14:19 And down to our last, ten, nine, 14:23 eight, seven, six, five, four, 14:28 three, two, one. 14:31 Oh, well. Didn't that feel good? 14:33 Okay. 14:35 Now, we're just gonna do some shoulder shrugs. 14:38 Loosen that area up. 14:42 I love that feeling, deltoid just burn. 14:45 Gets it everywhere. 14:47 No, not buying that one. 14:51 Okay, let's go the other way. 14:55 That feels good after doing that, doesn't it? 14:58 Okay. 14:59 Now, we're gonna stretch the area. 15:01 Put your right arm out. 15:02 Bring it across your body, reach up with the other hand 15:05 and give it a gentle pull. 15:07 So you're feeling the stretch right through here. 15:09 Okay. 15:10 And we're holding that for 15 seconds. 15:15 Do you stretch a lot? Yeah, yoga. 15:18 Yoga? Okay. 15:20 Oh, so I'm... 15:21 I mean I can hold, have you hold the position 15:22 and just see how long I can have you hold it there. 15:24 Okay. 15:26 We'll keep that in mind 15:27 as we go through the workout here. 15:28 Okay. And switch sides. 15:34 And pull and hold. 15:37 And while you do that, I'm gonna get you mat again. 15:45 I've even set it up for you here. 15:49 Okay. 15:51 Now, I like you to do is get back 15:53 into a push up position, but this time 15:57 you're not gonna be on your knees, 15:59 you're gonna be in a regular position. 16:00 Okay. Okay. 16:02 And go part way down and just hold. 16:05 Hold it there. 16:06 Now for those at home, again you can do them 16:09 against the wall, 16:10 you can do them off your knees. 16:12 And so, we're gonna do as a static move, 16:13 down a little bit more, hold. 16:18 Okay. Drop your knees, Okay. 16:22 That's the warning cue, uh-huh. That's a warning cue. 16:25 Okay. Down a little bit more, hold. 16:29 Okay, up a little bit, hold. 16:33 Down two inches, hold. 16:37 There's that uh-huh again. Up a couple of inches, hold. 16:40 And just hold it there for ten seconds now. 16:42 One, two, three, four, five, 16:46 six, seven, eight, nine, ten. 16:50 Good. 16:52 Okay, go and just sit back for a moment. 16:53 Now, that's a really good exercise 16:55 for triceps, you feel it back there? 16:56 Yes. Okay. 16:57 And you can even do that in a chair. 16:59 You could do it in a dip position, 17:01 and that works really well also. 17:03 But that gives you a very nice move on the triceps 17:07 as you're holding that. 17:08 Again, it's causing that that type of action we want. 17:13 And again, with women with osteoporosis 17:15 and they look at it, it isn't because 17:17 people don't eat enough calcium. 17:18 That's not the problem at all. 17:20 The four major causes, high protein diet, 17:22 drinking pop and diet pop, 17:24 those are huge, coffee and alcohol, 17:26 and also big one, 17:28 lack of weight bearing exercise. 17:32 And so, that's why so many women 17:33 have problems with osteoporosis 17:36 'cause they're breaking all four of those rules. 17:39 And when they do that, it causes problem. 17:40 In fact, osteoporosis is not a disease of countries 17:45 that don't eat meat and milk. 17:46 Yeah, the people who lead the world per capita 17:49 are those who have 17:50 meat products and dairy products. 17:52 Okay. 17:53 Now, we're gonna do a plank 17:55 and I'm sure you've done a plank before, 17:56 being a yoga person that you are, right? 17:59 Down to the elbows. Okay. 18:01 And straighten out, and hold. 18:04 Now typically when people do planks, they... 18:09 If they're starting out, they do about 20 to 30 seconds. 18:13 I know you agreed with that one, 18:14 but you're going to do longer than that. 18:17 And when people have been working out some, 18:18 they can usually handle a minute. 18:22 That's as far as I'm going. A minute as far as you go. 18:24 Okay. 18:26 We'll do a minute then, I'll go with that. 18:30 Are you comfortable down there? No. 18:33 Okay. Wow! 18:34 I'm just not getting those answer, 18:35 I was getting all the answers I wanted really. 18:37 Starting to shake a little bit, I see that. 18:39 Okay, let's go 20 more seconds. How's that? 18:42 Okay. Okay, 20 more seconds is good. 18:46 Okay, fifteen. 18:50 Plank is a great exercise for the back, 18:52 for the lower back especially, and also for the core muscles. 18:56 And as I mentioned earlier, 18:57 anything that stimulates the muscles 18:59 along this, 19:00 the spine is great for osteoporosis. 19:01 Okay, good. 19:05 Okay. You gonna climb on up. 19:09 How are we doing? All right. 19:11 You need little rest? No. 19:13 Okay, good, that's what I want to hear. 19:16 Okay. 19:18 We're gonna take our towel, 19:23 and we're going to drape it over 19:28 Then you're gonna reach underneath it 19:29 and grab like that, 19:30 and now you gonna go all the way down with it, 19:32 and your curl up using it as resistance. 19:35 And then when you get all the way to top, 19:37 you're pulling down hard with the other hand. 19:39 So it's forcing your biceps to do the work. 19:42 Really good. 19:45 She's got some good guns there. 19:48 See who says, women can't have muscles. 19:50 She's got some good arms there. Yeah, see that. 19:52 Good, excellent. 19:57 So you obviously work on your arms a little bit. 19:59 I do. Good. 20:02 Do you do any weight training? I do every day a little bit. 20:06 Okay. 20:14 And four more. 20:17 So do you work out with your step dad? 20:19 I do. Maybe twice a week. Okay. 20:25 All right. 20:27 Drape it over the other side. 20:30 Okay. 20:32 And we want to do 20 of these, okay. 20:37 Okay, way down, way down, there you go. 20:39 Slower, want to enjoy it. 20:44 Mary and I were talking little bit before the show 20:45 and I've been a friend of her stepfather since, 20:48 I don't know for almost 40 years I think. 20:51 And I know he is very into exercise just as I am. 20:55 So you can tell him. Still works out at 72. 20:57 Still works out at 72. 20:59 Okay, well, you can tell him I'm still working out too, 21:00 but I'm not quite 72. 21:05 Way down. 21:08 Okay. 21:10 How that feel? Okay. All right. 21:14 Now, a really important part of the workout. 21:19 This expression she's giving me now. 21:21 You like me at the beginning of the show, 21:23 what's going on. 21:24 I did. 21:25 Okay, we're gonna do some squats, 21:28 and we're gonna do the squats a little bit different 21:30 than we typically do. 21:32 I want you to squat down. 21:33 And of course, when you do a squat, 21:35 it's important to push your hips back, 21:37 squat down, and when you come up, 21:39 usually we just come to the top. 21:40 But, because we're dealing with osteoporosis, 21:43 I'm actually gonna put a little extra move in it 21:45 and I want you to go up on your toes 21:46 and then back down. 21:47 Create just a little bit more of a G force. 21:49 We're not gonna leave the ground 21:51 so it's not like I'm gonna have you do jumps. 21:52 But just come up, and then back down. 21:54 Okay. Go ahead and do that. 21:56 And up, okay. 21:59 Good. 22:00 And I want to do 30 of them. 22:03 And at home, if you can't go quite this deep, it's okay, 22:08 if you just come this far. 22:11 And as you get more into it, 22:13 you can start including the jump. 22:16 Because as you do the jump, that's even gonna create 22:19 even more of a ballistic response. 22:25 How we doing there? Way up on the toes, way up. 22:29 Little slower now. 22:31 Oh, yeah, want to go little slower, 22:32 it feels even better. 22:38 And we're almost done there. 22:43 Okay, down hold. Down and hold. 22:48 You really are good at giving dirty looks 22:50 you know that. 22:52 Are you married? No. 22:54 Okay, will you. 22:58 Oh, oh. 23:02 Five more seconds. 23:04 One, two, three, four, five. 23:09 Good. 23:17 I don't know if the camera can catch all those looks, 23:19 but I'll tell you what. 23:22 The old adage if looks could kill. 23:24 Okay, I want you to stretch now, 23:26 and what you're going to do is 23:28 you're gonna put your hand on my right shoulder, 23:29 or on my left shoulder 23:30 and I want to get a hold of your ankle 23:32 and stretch your quadricep. 23:34 Like this. Yeah. 23:35 That should be really easy for you. 23:36 It is. 23:38 In fact, I probably don't even need to hold you. 23:39 No. Will you stand there? 23:41 Okay, yeah. 23:42 I mean people that are well balanced 23:43 can do that. 23:45 I'm not so quite, I call this a flamingo drill. 23:47 You make a good flamingo. 23:48 We just have to put you in pink 23:49 and we got it. 23:52 Okay. Now, let's do the other side. 23:58 You okay? Yeah. 23:59 Okay. 24:03 Hold on those squats can start 24:05 to take a little bit out of you. 24:08 Okay, good. Okay, that's good. 24:09 Okay, now we're gonna step out. 24:11 We're gonna go up on the heel. 24:14 We're gonna lean forward into it, 24:15 and stretch your hamstring. 24:17 Okay, bend your back leg a little bit more, chest up. 24:23 Okay. Very good. Okay, other side. 24:28 Up on the heel. 24:32 Lean into it. 24:36 Good job. 24:38 Okay. 24:40 I think that should be good. 24:41 Thank you for your willingness to help me out here. 24:47 Osteoporosis is a condition 24:50 of decalcification in the bone matrix. 24:52 And so much of it is, it's about 24:56 what is going on inside your body, 24:57 the mineral balances and so forth. 24:59 And what people don't realize 25:01 is we need to be taking in X amount of nutrients 25:04 in order to stabilize our body. 25:06 We should be getting four times as much phosphorus 25:11 as we do calcium. 25:13 But instead, we have it the other way around. 25:15 And so, when people are eating diets 25:18 that don't have the nutrient breakdown 25:20 the way they're supposed to, 25:22 then we're gonna have problems. 25:24 Now, when people are drinking things like pop and diet pop, 25:27 they're high in phosphoric acid. 25:29 And phosphoric acid does not have 25:30 a normal metabolic pathway. 25:32 But it is similar 25:34 in chemical structure to phosphorous 25:35 which has the seesaw battle with calcium, 25:37 and so what happens when we're taking all this in, 25:40 our bodies going to be pulling out calcium 25:43 from the bone matrix. 25:44 The other thing so much of what we eat today, 25:46 creates a very acid environment. 25:48 Like we eat lots of high protein foods. 25:51 It makes our bodies much more acidic. 25:55 So our body wants to become balance in the pH balance, 25:58 and so, what it does, 25:59 it pulls alkaline phosphate from the bones 26:02 and coming along with that is calcium, 26:04 because that helps to stabilize our pH balance. 26:08 A lot of foods we eat are very high 26:11 in acid breakdown. 26:13 So there's an acid ash that's left over 26:16 by a lot of foods that we eat. 26:17 And again, we want to have ourselves more alkaline. 26:20 So when we're eating, 26:21 we're eating a lot of the whole fruits, 26:23 whole fruits and vegetables, whole grain breads and cereals, 26:26 you want to be aware 26:28 of what is creating an acid wash 26:29 and what is not. 26:31 Also the water we drink. 26:32 We want to make sure we drink water 26:34 that's going to help us to get a more of a alkaline, 26:38 and you can get various products out there, 26:41 which will help make your water more alkaline 26:43 and that will definitely affect your health. 26:46 And the other thing as we get into a more acidic blood 26:49 that's where disease thrives. 26:52 And we don't want that, we want to be more alkaline, 26:54 because alkaline will help us to be much healthier. 26:59 And the great thing about all this, 27:00 and it can sound really complicated 27:02 and you go, "What do I do? What do I need to do?" 27:04 Well, as we've talked about so many times, 27:07 God in His wisdom put all the nutrients 27:10 in proper balance 27:11 within the fruits and vegetables, 27:13 and the whole grains, nuts and seeds, and so forth. 27:16 So we eat a healthy diet, based upon the Genesis diet 27:20 that God gave us way back in the beginning 27:22 'cause He knew what was best for us. 27:24 We're gonna have a healthy body. 27:25 We're not gonna have to worry about things 27:27 such as osteoporosis. 27:29 We always want to do it for the right reason. 27:30 We're trying to glorify God with our body. 27:32 We're asking God, "What should I do 27:35 to have abundant health 27:36 and how do I serve you to my fullest." 27:39 And by eating his diet is a great way of doing that. 27:42 So when we look at health, 27:43 we're going far beyond just the physical benefits. 27:46 We're looking 27:47 at the spiritual benefits as well. 27:48 We use as a scripture here Philippians 4:13, which says, 27:52 "I can do all things through Christ 27:54 who strengthens me." 27:55 God bless you. Thank you for joining us. 27:57 We'll see you next time on Body & Spirit. |
