00:01 Everybody loves a secret...
00:03 well, today we're going to get some health secrets... 00:06 My name is Yvonne Lewis and you're watching 00:09 Urban Report... 00:31 Hello, and welcome to Urban Report... 00:34 today my guest is Nyse Collins 00:36 Host of Dare to Dream's scrumptious food Program... 00:40 "A Taste of Paradise" 00:41 and Director of Sonari Life Ministries... 00:44 Welcome Nyse... 00:46 Thank you... thank you... 00:47 You know, you are our first in-house guest... 00:50 we usually Skype-in our guests... 00:52 Really... and you are our first 00:53 in-house guest... yeah... 00:55 Oh, wow, I guess... today is something to 00:57 celebrate... extra about... 00:59 Absolutely... but it's definitely good to be 01:01 here and share on 01:03 Urban Report... 01:05 it's always "I got to see many reports" 01:07 but now I get to see an Urban Report... 01:09 so... that's fantastic... 01:10 How come when I look at you, I start feeling hungry? 01:12 Oh... oh... 01:14 You know... all week... we've been in Session 01:17 taping the second season of a Taste of Paradise... 01:20 Right... and you and Evita 01:22 have the most scrumptious recipes... really 01:24 I mean... I'm excited because I get to taste things 01:27 after they're done and the crew gets to eat 01:30 and everything... it's really a blessing... 01:32 really a blessing... so we're really glad 01:33 that you're with Dare to Dream and doing all that you do 01:37 for the cause of Christ... Right... right... 01:39 Tell us about Sonari Ministries where did that name come from? 01:41 Well, Sonari Life Consultants actually... 01:44 it's a small company... and it's actually 01:47 our business to minister to people, 01:49 you know what I mean... and Sonari or Sonar... 01:53 in Latin... means to restore, Ah... 01:57 and our goal is to bring restoration to people... 02:00 but not just by "per se" telling people what to do... 02:04 because there are many people... you go to a health lecture 02:06 and they say, "Do this... " "Don't do that... " 02:08 and stuff like that... and you leave the lecture 02:10 feeling depressed... you're like... 02:12 "Why am I still alive... I do everything wrong... " 02:15 you know what I'm talking about... 02:16 and our goal is, "Wait a second... 02:17 no, no, no, no... restoration will come 02:20 through education... " Okay... 02:22 and so when we look at the life of Jesus as well... 02:24 he didn't come and say, "Do this" or "Do that" 02:26 He educated them... They asked Him... 02:27 "What shall we do?" and He said... 02:28 "Well, check this out... look at this story... " 02:30 "and this is how this works... " 02:32 and so then when people left, 02:33 not only were they educated, 02:34 but they left encouraged... Yes... 02:37 and so our focus is to encourage people, 02:39 educate them... and then they will be more proactive 02:43 to take care of themselves and then... 02:44 that's what will happen... restoration will take place... 02:47 and so that's what we do... 02:48 we have consultants throughout now... 02:50 we're developing even more... 02:51 because there's so much work... 02:52 we can't keep up with it... 02:53 we're getting calls left and right... 02:55 people are angry at us, sending us e-mails... 02:57 "How come you haven't responded yet... " 02:59 and we can't keep up... so now we're focusing on 03:02 training others... and now, more consultants 03:05 will be able to go out and bring the good news 03:08 of health, healing and restoration... 03:09 via education of course... 03:11 Amen... so you have a segment 03:14 that is teaching 03:15 are you training others... and then you're also 03:18 doing the training of large groups... 03:20 you're training trainers... 03:21 Right... right... we're training the trainer 03:24 and we're also meeting the masses as well... 03:27 but even though we do large presentations, 03:30 we find that the bulk of our work 03:32 the most important part of the work... 03:34 is our one-on-one consultants... 03:35 like... everybody can 03:37 can go to a session and go, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I want to 03:39 eat healthy... " and they're excited and stuff, 03:41 but what we try to do with our consultants as well... 03:43 is encourage them to stay behind 03:45 a couple of days... and work with individuals 03:47 on a one-on-one basis... now... 03:49 and that's crucial because 03:51 not everybody can ask a question in a public setting, 03:53 and, of course, you know, sometimes things are of a 03:55 private matter... Right... 03:56 and they can't do that then... so we find that 04:00 when we work with them on a one-on-one... 04:01 we can help them ascertain 04:04 maybe, the cause of the situation 04:06 and then encourage them... and give them a plan 04:09 or work with them to develop a plan of restoration 04:12 you know what I mean... and... 04:14 it's been successful... beyond belief... 04:16 and it's so funny... people say, 04:18 "Where did you come up with this idea?" 04:19 Well, there's nothing new under the sun... 04:22 you know what I mean... we look at the Master Consultant 04:24 Okay... His name is Jesus Christ... 04:26 Amen... JC... they will say, 04:28 and He did it... He did the big presentations 04:31 Sermon on the Mount and He fed the thousands... 04:33 that was a little cooking class He did... 04:35 You know what that is right? 04:36 He showed them how to take some fish 04:37 and make some bread and then... He showed how to multiply 04:41 and of course, with the Power of the Lord... 04:44 and He also... the bulk of His ministry... 04:46 happened what? one-on-one... 04:48 One-on-one... One-on-one... 04:49 Hmmm... hmmm... Why are we doing differently? 04:51 so we said... "No need to reinvent the wheel" 04:52 let's encourage the people 04:54 and for those who would like more information 04:56 then meet with us... and we'll dedicate time for you 04:58 that's where the hard work is... 05:00 And you know... that's so important 05:01 because it individualizes the information... 05:04 Yes... if information 05:06 is just generalized... then people can't 05:08 necessarily apply it to themselves... 05:11 but with the one-on-one... they can... 05:13 because they can say, "Well, you know what... 05:15 I have this issue with sugar 05:16 or I have this issue with wanting too much 05:19 starches... Mac and Cheese and stuff... " 05:22 and you can show them how to make the healthy version 05:24 Right... right... which leads us to... 05:27 how they can look better and feel better 05:29 what are some of these health secrets 05:31 that you can share... 05:33 Well, there's an old song... I don't know 05:35 if you know this song... this is when I used to be young 05:37 before you were around... Oh right, of course... of course 05:40 there's an old song... I'm not going to try 05:41 to sing for you all... but it's... 05:43 "There is no secret... what God can do... 05:45 what He's done for others... He will do for you and me... " 05:48 Yes... yes... That was the re-mix version... 05:50 but... there's no secret actually... 05:53 there are simple principles that we all can follow... 05:55 and you mentioned something that... 05:57 there's... how many... 5- or 6-odd billion people 06:01 in the world... but everybody is unique in nature... 06:04 and so... everybody needs a 06:06 unique guide... 06:08 or something that's tailored to them... 06:09 and so... we specify our Program to each individual 06:13 but the principles... always stay the same... 06:16 Right... Oh... good... good... 06:18 so the principles are the same all throughout 06:20 so we encourage them to follow principles... 06:22 and then we tailor-make it to their specific needs... 06:27 and so a couple of... "Secrets" or... principles... 06:30 I like to call them principles, are simple items 06:34 the Number One... the most important one... 06:36 let me pull back here... the simple 8 Laws of Health 06:40 Okay... people call it 8 Laws of Health 06:41 8 Natural Remedies... and all that stuff... 06:44 I call them "8 'What's Ups' from the Lord" 06:46 you know what I mean... because He has just given us 06:48 these principles to follow, not so we can be 06:51 slaves or anything... but so we can prosper... 06:54 we can be in good health... a lot of times 06:56 when you look at individuals who are trying to follow 06:58 a "healthy lifestyle" they look tired and discouraged 07:02 Yes... yes... like... "I don't eat this... " 07:03 and "No, I don't touch that" and 07:05 "I have to be there at this time... " 07:07 I'm like, "Man! you look messed up... " 07:09 Health is supposed to be a blessing... 07:11 not a burden... Exactly... 07:12 and so... it's changing it... and I'm like... 07:15 "No, that's not what health is all about... " 07:17 and remember... Jesus rolled up... 07:18 if you don't mind me saying that... 07:19 Yes... yes... on the Pharisees and stuff 07:21 and they were all there... 07:23 and some of them were fasting... right... 07:24 and they were like... looking like this... 07:26 "Why are you twisting up your face... 07:30 fix your face... " you know what I mean... 07:31 "this is supposed to be a good thing 07:33 that you're doing... you're supposed to be 07:35 thankful that this fast now is an opportunity 07:37 for you to draw closer to my Father... " 07:39 Yes... yes... and so... a lot of that 07:41 stuff is there... and so there are the 8 Laws of Health 07:44 or 8 What's Ups from the Lord... 07:46 "What's up... " and "You should do this... " and 07:48 "Try this... " and stuff... so we can prosper... 07:50 and we know all of them... the nutrition, 07:52 and the exercise, and the water, and the sunshine... 07:54 and then the temperance... and the fresh air... 07:56 and the rest... and the trust in God... 07:57 but I remember... I was hearing something along the way 08:00 and one person said, "We are NT-Christians... " 08:03 you know what I mean... you have the 08:05 New Testament... right... 08:06 I was like... "New Testament... " 08:07 he said... "Yeah, we are New Testament Christians" 08:09 I said, "What... no, no, I believe in the whole Bible. " 08:11 He said, "But most of you people... all you believe 08:13 is in nutrition and trust in God" 08:15 I said, "You know what! he has something on the T" 08:19 a lot of times... all we think is... 08:21 of nutrition... "I'm a vegetarian... 08:23 are you eating this... are you eating that... " 08:25 "Oh but... I go to Church and I love the Lord... " 08:27 But what happens to the rest? 08:29 that's only two-eighth of the story... 08:31 That's right... right... and so, what we want to do is... 08:34 encourage people to try their best 08:36 yes, Number One... we got to trust in the Lord, 08:38 what we realize is that one of the key secrets 08:40 or principles that God has given us... 08:42 "If you trust in me... there's nothing to worry about" 08:45 That's right... If you ever notice 08:46 people who worry... immediately... you can see them 08:49 they can be eating right... and exercising 08:52 and drinking water... but you can tell 08:55 when they're stressed out... immediately... 08:57 you say, "Hey, how's it going?" "I'm all right... " 08:59 "No you're not... no you're not... 09:01 something is wrong... what's going on?" 09:04 Stress number one is one of the keys... 09:06 to relieve yourself from those stresses... 09:08 spend time with the Lord, dedicate a time everyday... 09:12 and say, "Lord, at this time... I'm going to meet with you... " 09:14 and don't let anybody mess around with that... 09:16 so, that's one of the crucial items 09:18 Stress... you know... trying to live a 09:20 stress-free life... or de-stress yourself... 09:22 I think you remember... in one of our recipes... 09:24 we have a... how do you call it... 09:27 not a "de-stresserts" it's a dessert... 09:30 but it would help you de-stress... 09:33 because of the walnuts that we put in it... 09:35 the flax seed... that's in it... 09:37 and you know... and it has some good natural sweeteners... 09:38 See... that's why I get hungry... 09:40 Oh okay... I'm going to stop talking about food then... 09:43 so, the key is to de-stress 09:45 yourself and stuff of that nature... 09:47 Yes... I know, eating is important 09:49 but if you noticed... and I'm going to do a little study... 09:51 people up in the Northeast, you know, New York 09:54 or even over in Chicago... the big cities... 09:56 we're exercising every day... we're taking care of their body 09:58 but now... we're falling down left and right... 10:00 50- or 60-years old... but let's go down South... 10:03 some of the people... quite a bit exercise and stuff 10:06 but you notice... the diet down South 10:08 is... "Hey, just give me some chicken... fry me this... 10:12 fry me that... " but... Yeah... yeah... 10:14 they're living still... they're in their 60s, 70s 10:17 and 80s... they may have a couple of extra blessings... 10:20 you know what I mean... but they're still living... 10:22 why? because they enjoy life... 10:24 Hmmm... they're not stressed out they go to Church 10:26 and they praise the Lord... after Church... you know 10:28 they're doing something else but... they enjoy life... 10:29 And I think the key... that's the word... 10:32 Joy... because there are so many people that are so caught up 10:35 in the "dos" and "don'ts" that they don't enjoy life... 10:38 they don't realize that there's such joy 10:40 in being a Christian and serving the Lord... 10:42 there's joy... there's happiness so you don't have to 10:45 you know... a thing that I appreciate about your ministry 10:49 is that you don't beat people over the head 10:51 with, "You'd better do this... or you'd better do that... " 10:53 it's more like... "If you want to get the most 10:55 out of life... you want to really enjoy 10:58 your life... then, this is a way to eat 11:00 this is an alternative way to eat... " 11:02 you're not making people think 11:04 that they're going to lose their salvation 11:06 if they don't eat properly... 11:07 but rather... they're going to enjoy life 11:09 to its fullest... and this is what Christ would 11:12 have us to do... to actually have a 11:14 sense of balance... and not get all caught up 11:16 in "Oh, you'd better do this... or you'd better do that... " 11:19 or... "you're not going to... " 11:21 That's what we realized as I mentioned earlier... 11:23 there's nothing new under the sun... 11:24 in general... the majority of people know 11:27 what's good and what's bad... 11:28 so, why am I going to come there reminding them... 11:31 "If you do this... this is what's going to happen... " 11:33 so I realized... "Look, we all have good 11:35 health information, everybody knows 11:37 what they should do... so where's the problem? 11:39 we're lacking the "encouragement" part... 11:41 Hmmm... You know, people just need 11:43 to be encouraged... You just give the support... 11:44 Right... we're just here to support you... 11:45 People are like... "Tell me some new information. " 11:48 Sorry... I'm just going to encourage you 11:50 to do what you already know you should be doing... 11:51 there's an old saying... that... 11:53 "If we just did... what we already know... 11:56 we would not be here today... " 11:57 we'd be hanging out in some crazy place... flying off... 12:01 if we just did... what we already know... 12:04 I'm not going to come and say, 12:06 "If you take a piece of carpet everyday 12:07 and add a little salt and pepper and mix it up... 12:09 with some green spirulina... 12:10 or something of that nature... you're going to get healthy... " 12:14 No... there's no secret remedy or something of that nature... 12:17 but these are principles... that we all can follow... 12:22 and so, one, of course, is de-stressing 12:25 and trusting in the Lord... we don't need to worry anymore 12:27 another principle is... of course... resting... 12:30 taking some time off to rest... 12:32 Why is that important? why is rest important? 12:34 Rest is crucial... the body basically heals itself 12:37 when we're resting... Hmmm... 12:39 you know what I mean... I always do programs 12:40 for little children... right... and I say, 12:43 "You all want to grow?" "Yes, Uncle Nyse... " 12:45 and I'm like, "Great... go to bed... 12:46 the bones elongate while we're sleeping... " 12:51 and I always tell my friends, because my dad was like 12:53 6 ft something... and my brothers on my side 12:56 are 6 ft something... what happened with me? 12:59 what I realized is... I don't know... 13:00 it's just a crazy study... that I'm doing on myself... 13:03 I realized... I really didn't like School 13:05 when I was growing up... right... 13:06 Okay... I'm just being honest... 13:07 I didn't like School... and so, I was like, 13:09 "Mom, enough of this stuff, I can make my own money 13:11 doing something and playing football... " 13:13 and she was like, "No way, Jose, you're going to 13:15 finish School... " Hmmm... hmmm... 13:16 and so I said, "Okay, what happens when I finish?" 13:18 and she said, "You can do whatever you want" 13:20 "I can leave the house?" "Yeah" 13:21 I finished High School at age 15 or 16... 13:23 I didn't sleep... all I did was study... study... 13:25 study... study... study... I got out of there 13:28 15 or 16 years old... I'm like... 13:30 "Mom, I'm done... I can leave?" she's like, 13:32 crying... 13:33 You got out of High School at 15 or 16? 13:36 As soon as I turned 16... I was done with that thing... 13:38 I finished in like... my 2nd- and- a-half year... 13:41 I was just like... "Enough is enough... " 13:43 Wow... and I had an opportunity 13:45 now to start traveling and doing all of those items 13:48 but the key is... I wasn't sleeping... 13:51 so, now I'm right there... at about 5 ft 11 inches... 6 ft 13:55 you know... I like to put a little 6 down... 13:57 or something of that nature... but I'm like, 13:59 "Man, all my other brothers are so tall... " 14:01 and I think... at that stage when I was 12, 13, 14, 15, 14:06 I didn't sleep... all I did was study, study, 14:08 study, study... because I wanted to get out of School 14:10 so, resting... is a process that your body uses 14:13 to restore itself... Yes... 14:14 it produces a hormone called melatonin... 14:16 Hmmm... hmmm... and the melatonin goes in 14:18 and it just fixes up the little items there 14:20 that may be causing problems... and so... 14:23 actually there was a study coming out 14:25 that shows that those who worked 14:27 that "night shift" they call it "Graveyard Shift" 14:29 Hmmm... hmmm... I like to change it up... 14:32 I think they call it "Graveyard" because what it does 14:34 is when you work at night time, it puts your body 14:36 in such a debilitated state, 14:38 that you're one step away from the grave... 14:41 you know what I mean... and actually... 14:43 one gentleman was sharing something really unique 14:45 and he was like... "You know why they pay people 14:47 time-and-a-half?" and I was like, 14:48 "Why is that?" he said, 14:49 "because you're destroying your body so much... 14:51 they pay you your medical benefits... 14:54 or your medical bills ahead of time... " 14:55 for an extra 25 cents... you know... 14:58 and so, you can't turn around and sue the Company 15:01 for forcing you to work at night time... because 15:03 "we already gave you your settlement" 15:05 I thought... that that was just the funniest thing 15:07 that I've ever heard... but also studies show that 15:09 when a person works at night and does the swing-shift... 15:12 it's almost like flipping a coin they increase their chance 15:15 by almost 30 percent of developing 15:17 a form of cancer or something of that nature... 15:20 so I'm like... whoa... so I'm thinking... 15:22 if that's what a night shift work is... 15:24 what about me... 15:26 who goes to bed at maybe 11... 12... 1 o'clock... 15:28 at least they're getting paid for it, 15:30 we need to go to sleep 15:31 because we're not getting anything for it... so... 15:34 rest is a crucial item there... 15:36 that people can do 15:38 and a lot of people will notice that they feel better 15:39 as a result of getting good rest also... 15:42 And it actually ages you... when you don't rest... 15:44 and if everybody that's concerned with anti-aging 15:47 and all that... when you don't sleep, 15:49 you look older... when you get some good rest, 15:51 you look refreshed... and all that 15:53 of course you don't have to worry about that right now... 15:55 It looks like you have been sleeping a long time... 15:57 Oh, see... see... that's why... that's why I look good... 16:00 you're doing excellent, so "Rest" and then of course 16:03 getting out and exercising... that's another thing... 16:07 What would you say to people who would just say, 16:09 "You know what... I just can't... 16:10 I just don't have time to exercise... " 16:12 or "I just don't feel like exercising... " 16:14 how do you encourage and support people like that? 16:15 Oh, when I see someone that says, "I don't have time" 16:17 I say, "Excellent... because I don't have time 16:19 to exercise either... " as a matter-of-fact... 16:22 you will be happy to know that the longest-living culture 16:25 the longest-living culture... Loma Linda, California... 16:28 you know, there are many healthy groups... 16:30 or "Long-living groups" Right... 16:31 the Okinawa's of Japan... that's what National Geographic 16:33 showed it... who were the Hunzas... 16:35 and also that Seventh-day Adventists 16:37 in Loma Linda, California... they have been found to be 16:40 the longest-living culture... do you know... 16:42 they per se... don't have the time to exercise... 16:45 Really? they don't make a special time to exercise? 16:47 No, it's not like... "Oh my goodness... 16:49 it's 6 o'clock, I got to get to the gym... " 16:51 no, they don't have a specific time for exercise... 16:53 what they do, however, 16:55 is they live a "culture of exercise" 16:57 Ah... okay... so when they pull up at the 16:59 supermarket... they don't pull up next to that 17:01 nice little blue sign with the handicapped chair... 17:04 you know what I'm talking about... 17:05 they don't wait by the door 17:07 waiting for somebody to move out... 17:08 following people like you're stalking them... 17:10 to get there smart... because 17:12 they're the closest to the door, they don't do that... 17:15 they park at the farthest point of the Parking Lot... 17:18 and they walk... some of them 17:21 don't even use carts... they grab the bags... 17:23 and they walk back to their cars... 17:26 they live a culture of exercise, when they go to a building 17:29 or they go to some area... they don't take the elevator... 17:32 they take the steps... I'm like... 17:33 "They haven't been in New York" 17:35 Right... but they'll probably 17:36 take the steps, you know, Yeah... 17:38 when they're home... at home... 17:40 they purposely leave things in separate parts of... 17:42 upstairs and downstairs... so they can 17:44 force themselves to exercise... 17:46 so they live a culture of exercise... 17:48 they're in the garden every day, they don't have "per se" 17:50 specific time... so when people say, 17:52 "I don't have time... " fantastic... 17:53 when you're taking that train home... 17:55 stop an extra stop... you know what I mean... 17:56 stop two stops... when you're taking the bus 17:58 of course, if it's not late at night... 18:00 Right... people find all kinds of excuses 18:01 "but it's late at night... " Right, right... 18:03 so then... do it in the morning, Right... 18:05 walk to the second station, or when you're taking 18:07 a bus... stop 2 stops early and walk home... 18:10 it's a culture of exercise... you know... 18:12 That's a great point really... for those who might say, 18:15 "Well, I can't join a gym... " or 18:17 "I don't have the money to do that... " 18:19 well, you can walk around the apartment... 18:21 or you can walk up the block 18:23 or you can... have that culture of exercise 18:25 that you're talking about... 18:26 Fantastic... because you're just spending money 18:28 on a gym... let me not say "waste" 18:30 because for some people they need the motivation... 18:32 Right... but for those... the majority... 18:34 you don't need to be in a gym, you know, 18:35 hanging out with all these people, 18:36 everybody is sweating all over you... 18:38 you know what I mean... go outside and actually... 18:40 these gyms are expensive... take that money 18:42 that you would normally spend on a gym... 18:44 put it in an envelope... 18:45 I think it has 3ABN, West Frankfort 18:47 and Dare to Dream... or something of that nature 18:49 Okay... okay... send it over to Dare to Dream 18:50 so you can do more Programs and say, 18:52 "Thank you for the information... " 18:53 and so now... you're actually supporting the work... 18:56 you're helping yourself, and it's a beautiful circle 18:59 that... or cycle that continues... 19:01 and everybody is happy as a result... 19:03 Amen... that's good... that's good... 19:06 so, when you do your menus for people... 19:09 do you take your suggestions from what they like 19:13 and then you tweak it... or do you have 19:15 specific menus in mind for people... 19:18 Of course... it's crucial... actually in our training program 19:22 for our consultants... we say, 19:23 "You have to work with people, where they're at... " 19:25 You've never seen Jesus going up to somebody and saying, 19:27 "Hey look, check this out, you're ready to follow me... 19:30 yeah... yeah... drop your stuff or whatever... " 19:32 but when he chose his disciples and stuff... 19:34 He was very defined... He didn't really take them 19:37 and change their whole lives per se... 19:39 He found out what their strengths were... 19:41 and He... that was their work... 19:43 you know what I mean... Hmmm... hmmm... 19:45 and so, He picked and chose effectively... 19:47 so when we work with our clients... 19:49 when we sit down... if they like Macaroni and Cheese 19:52 fantastic... you can have it if you make it yourself... 19:55 And you make it so good... oh, it's so tasty... 19:57 But we'll do it from scratch... and we'll use, maybe, 19:59 cashew cheese... or something... 20:00 some people say, "I'm allergic... " 20:01 so they always find excuses... "I'm allergic to nuts... " 20:04 no problem... we can make cheese 20:05 out of potatoes... you know... 20:07 what kind of cheese do you want? 20:08 we'll make it for you... "I love chicken... " 20:11 No problem... enjoy the chicken, 20:14 it's just going to be called "Tiken" 20:15 you're going to take some tofu... 20:16 add some seeds in it... some cumin and stuff... 20:18 so make it so it tastes similar... 20:20 but let me just be honest, it's not going to be 20:22 the same thing... okay... 20:24 But it's delicious... and even those... 20:26 I think I mentioned this to you previously 20:28 that my son is not a tofu 20:30 aficionado... he just doesn't like tofu... 20:33 and I said, "Why don't you try this?" 20:36 and he said, "No mom, you go ahead... " 20:38 and then... finally I said, 20:39 "Just taste it... " he tasted it... 20:41 it was your recipe... now he's saying, 20:43 "Mom, are you going to make that tofu... " 20:45 I'm like, "What?" It's excellent... 20:47 It's delicious... And even for those who 20:48 don't want to become vegetarians they're not ready for the tofu 20:51 of something of that nature... no problem... 20:53 if you are going to use the meats and stuff like that, 20:55 just use it the way the Lord instructed... 20:58 remove the fat... and remove the blood... 21:01 that's called "Kosher" and prepare... in a simple way 21:03 with the simple principles that God has given us... 21:06 through His writings in Counsels on Diet and Foods 21:08 and all throughout... so, our goal is to 21:10 meet people where they're at... Hmmm... 21:11 and what we say is, "Okay, if you don't want to go 21:14 all the way... that's fine... can you try one thing?" 21:17 "Yes, I'll try one thing... " so, what we'll do is 21:19 we do a Meatless Monday... Ah... nice... 21:21 so on that Monday, we'll show them how to make 21:24 maybe a lentil patti or just some brown rice and beans 21:27 or something of that nature, 21:29 so, we have to meet people 21:30 where they're at... and then... give them a step 21:33 you know what it says about health... 21:34 "Health is the entering wedge" not the battering ram 21:38 and the bulldozer... you have to meet them 21:40 where they're at... and then... 21:42 take it a step at a time... a lot of times I go to 21:44 different churches and do presentations... 21:45 and the older pastor, and the Health and Temperance, 21:47 "Tell them, tell them... " I'm like... 21:49 "Chill out... " you know what I mean... 21:51 we're here to encourage people, Hmmm... 21:53 you've been telling them for the past 20 years 21:55 and nobody has been doing anything... 21:56 so can we try something different here... 21:59 you know what I mean... and as we meet them 22:01 where they're at... we're not here 22:02 to change anybody's lifestyle, 22:03 we had a great president one time... 22:05 "Change... change... change... " and he finally got in office 22:08 and then what happened? he realized... 22:10 change is not easy... It's difficult... 22:12 the House of Representatives came and did this to him... 22:15 and the Senate came and did that to him... 22:17 now he's just like... "Just make an adjustment... " 22:20 Forget all the major changes... Forget the changes... 22:22 just do something... and people are like... 22:25 "What side is he on now?" because... change is difficult 22:29 so my thing is... to encourage people 22:32 and that's what we're doing in Sonari Life... 22:33 When a person says, "I would like to do something" 22:36 or "But my life is all messed up" 22:37 we say, "Stop, your life is pretty good... " 22:39 they say, "Why is that?" 22:40 "You're here today... you're doing something good today... " 22:43 Hmmm... because you could be 22:45 6 feet under... I've lost friends in their teens 22:48 in their twenties... of cancer, and I used to run track 22:51 with one of my buddies when I used to play football... 22:54 and one time they called me when I was in School... 22:57 they said, "Ray's gone... " I said, "Where did he go to... 23:01 did he go back to Jamaica... did he go... " 23:03 "Ray's gone... " I said, "Gone where... 23:05 did somebody get him for playing...?" 23:06 you know, New York was bad... Right... 23:08 they shoot people for playing basketball... 23:09 because they dunk one in... it's really terrible out there, 23:11 Yeah... and "No, he's gone... 23:12 he was running one day, and he got a heart attack... " 23:16 How old was he? Like 16 or 17... 23:19 Oh... Gone... so, if you're here today 23:22 you're doing something good, now, what are we going to do? 23:25 We're just going to make a step, one or two steps... 23:28 simple things that you can do... as we were looking here 23:30 just simple ways to improve the quality of your life 23:32 and I'll share with you some simple tips... 23:34 it says, "You can improve the quality by about two years... 23:39 by being a vegetarian... " okay... cool... 23:41 so if you're being a vegetarian, you improve the quality... 23:43 not per se adding... but... improve... 23:45 you feel better as a result... 23:46 if you don't want to be a vegetarian... 23:47 no problem... just minus the quality of two years... 23:50 amen... let's move on... 23:51 another one is... "Eat a handful of nuts... " 23:54 I got to see a handful... Right... right... right... 23:58 some of us go a handful... or we eat a bag full... 24:01 or by our desk... on the job... we have a can full... 24:04 too much at one time... just a handful... 24:07 closed-fist... upside-down... fantastic for you... 24:09 "Exercise regularly... " which is what? 24:11 "the culture of exercise... " and that's about 3 or 4 years 24:15 you improve the quality of your life... 24:16 are you ready for this... this is deep... 24:19 Okay... this is deeper than the 24:20 deepest sea... What is it? 24:21 All you have to do is... volunteer and help somebody... 24:25 Oh, come on... once a week... 24:27 and it will improve the quality of your life by 7 years... 24:31 You're kidding me... you mean the length of your life? 24:34 Just the quality... you see... 24:35 For 7 years... for 7 years... 24:37 Hmmm... so, instead of being in a 24:39 Nursing Home for 7 years... you're out there 24:41 having a good time for 7 years... 24:43 or instead of being sick... nothing against people 24:46 in the Nursing Home... I actually love... 24:47 I don't call them "Nursing Homes" 24:48 I call them "Retirement Resorts" 24:50 Oh... okay... You know why that is? 24:52 You go visit them? Oh, I visit them all the time... 24:54 it's the best place... you see how I talk so much now, 24:56 when I go there... I shut up... 24:57 I just listen... "So, tell me some more... " 25:01 "Well, son... what you need to do... " 25:03 and I just listen... A lot of wisdom right... 25:05 tons of wisdom... Yes... 25:06 forget the library... forget school... 25:07 I go to Retirement Resorts, I call it a Resort... 25:10 I say, "You all... " they say, "This place is a mess" 25:12 I say, "This place is beautiful" they say, "Why?" 25:13 I say, "Because, you never have to cook... 25:15 you got fountains... all you do is hang around... 25:17 and stroll around all day... this is amazing... " 25:19 Because we're here to do what? Encourage them... 25:21 Yes... And just by helping somebody 25:23 once a week... they've shown National Geographic Study 25:26 with the "Blue Zones" and stuff they show that it improves 25:28 the quality of your life by 7 years... 25:30 And isn't that Biblical though 25:31 because "by watering others... we're watered... " 25:34 Yeah... let's go to that spiritual principle... 25:36 the Lord says, "Do unto others as you would have them 25:38 do unto you" Hmmm... hmmm... 25:39 "Treat your neighbors as you want to be treated... " 25:42 Hmmm... hmmm... and so, it's like health 25:44 and the spiritual... they come together... 25:46 you can't separate them... That's right... 25:49 they work hand-in-hand... and 25:50 here's the most important one 25:51 "If you just attend 25:53 and participate in Church, 25:55 it will improve the quality... just once a week... 25:58 preferably... " Sabbath... 26:00 "well come out on Wednesday too, if you just attend Church 26:05 and participate... it improves the quality 26:07 of your life by 7 to 14 years" My! 26:09 we have an improvement of life... 26:12 and so, who knows how best... than the Lord... 26:15 so, if we just follow His simple principles... 26:19 and fellowship... I know sometimes Church could be 26:21 a little stressful... people in their little positions 26:24 and having a good time... but hey, just go 26:26 and just fellowship... not just in like a drive-through 26:29 sometimes we treat Church like "Hey man... " 26:32 and we're gone again... you know... 26:34 hang out after Church... bring an extra lentil soup or 26:38 or bring some "Tiken" or something like that... 26:41 to Church... and fellowship with the people 26:43 and man! and it's just amazing 26:45 how lives will change... I mean... you will be blessed 26:48 as a result... as we see you... 26:50 you've been helping people quite a bit... 26:51 that's why you're doing so well... 26:53 Well, the Lord is good... so, if we all can do something, 26:55 that's why that saying... 26:57 "There is more religion in a loaf of bread" 26:59 Yes... when you cook something healthy 27:01 Yes... bring one over... 27:02 bring another loaf over to your neighbor... 27:04 share... and have a good time... a lot of times we're keeping it 27:08 and in our Society... we don't even know what our 27:10 neighbor's name is anymore... 27:11 See, real health is more than just... the physical... 27:15 it's the spiritual... it's the emotional... 27:18 it's the social... Thank you so much Nyse... 27:21 I'm so glad that we had you here today... 27:24 you have been such an inspiration... 27:26 it's so great... I love to see young people 27:29 on fire for God... and so, when I look at you 27:32 and see what you're doing for the cause of Christ, 27:34 it's an inspiration... and I know that 27:36 so many people... look at you and are inspired 27:40 by what you do... so thank you so much 27:42 for all that you do... 27:43 Well, there you have it... health secrets from Nyse... 27:47 Thank you so much for joining us on Urban Report 27:50 you know it doesn't take much 27:52 to incorporate these principles... 27:54 all you have to do... is just try it... 27:57 just get out there and do something different... 28:00 Thank you for joining us, see you next time... 28:03 it wouldn't be the same... without you... |
