00:01:03.210 --> 00:01:06.250
and thank you, Jimmy, for having me here today.

00:01:06.689 --> 00:01:11.150
And what I'm going to be talking about today

00:01:11.150 --> 00:01:16.269
is how, in my 60s, I changed my lifestyle to

00:01:16.269 --> 00:01:19.290
a healthy lifestyle. And then I will also get

00:01:19.290 --> 00:01:22.469
into how exercise, the exercise part of it, but

00:01:22.469 --> 00:01:25.170
I'm going to start off with the healthy eating,

00:01:25.469 --> 00:01:30.569
eating the right foods. So I have a question

00:01:30.569 --> 00:01:35.489
for you. How come you wanted to change your lifestyle?

00:01:36.230 --> 00:01:40.049
What made you want to change? Why I wanted to

00:01:40.049 --> 00:01:43.609
change? Well, I was in my 60s and when I was

00:01:43.609 --> 00:01:47.049
younger, I was very healthy, even though I didn't

00:01:47.049 --> 00:01:50.829
eat right then. But when I got in my 60s, all

00:01:50.829 --> 00:01:53.530
of a sudden I had hypertension. I gained over

00:01:53.530 --> 00:01:58.659
25 pounds. I had plaque buildup on my arteries

00:01:58.659 --> 00:02:04.219
that my dad died from when he was 64. And like

00:02:04.219 --> 00:02:08.500
I said, I was having IBS problems. And I mean,

00:02:08.539 --> 00:02:10.819
just things were not fun. And like all of a sudden

00:02:10.819 --> 00:02:15.300
I was falling apart. So what I decided then is

00:02:15.300 --> 00:02:18.240
like, okay, Denise, you need to change what you

00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:21.300
eat because I think that's what's causing the

00:02:21.300 --> 00:02:24.909
problem here. So once I did that, then things

00:02:24.909 --> 00:02:27.349
changed. And I'll go more into the story as we

00:02:27.349 --> 00:02:36.469
go on here. So please share your story with us.

00:02:36.889 --> 00:02:41.949
I think my whole audience would like to hear.

00:02:42.349 --> 00:02:46.750
OK. All right. Well, what I wanted to do, I wanted

00:02:46.750 --> 00:02:50.210
to share this journey because I became a vegetarian

00:02:50.210 --> 00:02:54.650
when I was in my 60s. And then I am in the process

00:02:54.650 --> 00:02:57.469
of creating a free nutrition course because I

00:02:57.469 --> 00:03:02.430
wanted to share my own story first on why I changed

00:03:02.430 --> 00:03:05.729
to a healthy lifestyle. And when I was younger,

00:03:05.969 --> 00:03:08.909
I could eat anything I wanted and stayed skinny

00:03:08.909 --> 00:03:12.319
and healthy. And I ate fast food and junk food

00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:15.000
on a regular basis. And a lot of times I didn't

00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.840
eat at all. And the thing was, is I, even though

00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.879
I didn't eat healthy, I was an exercise fanatic.

00:03:21.620 --> 00:03:26.039
I would go to, I had, it was a Jazzercise, going

00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:28.280
to Jazzercise then. And I went at least five

00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:31.219
days a week. And I mean, I was just all into

00:03:31.219 --> 00:03:36.020
this. And I almost became an instructor. But

00:03:36.020 --> 00:03:39.169
the finances weren't there at that time. And

00:03:39.169 --> 00:03:42.189
jazzercise was the thing. And like I said, I'll

00:03:42.189 --> 00:03:44.889
go more into this later too, is what the trend

00:03:44.889 --> 00:03:47.889
was at the time. And then before I started eating

00:03:47.889 --> 00:03:51.129
healthy, as I mentioned, I had stomach cramps

00:03:51.129 --> 00:03:54.789
and like IBS symptoms. And once I changed my

00:03:54.789 --> 00:03:58.090
eating habits, that went away. And it's amazing

00:03:58.090 --> 00:04:00.789
how different you feel when you eat the right

00:04:00.789 --> 00:04:02.930
foods and you get rid of all the junk that you

00:04:02.930 --> 00:04:09.680
eat. And then during menopause, which was like

00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.639
a five or six year period. I mean, I was, like

00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:16.040
I said, I had stayed healthy and then all of

00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:19.060
a sudden I became moody. I gained over the 25

00:04:19.060 --> 00:04:23.339
pounds and I wasn't active. And like I said,

00:04:23.379 --> 00:04:25.439
I found out I had the hypertension and plaque

00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:29.199
buildup on my carotid arteries. And like I said,

00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:32.180
that's what caused my dad to pass away. And so

00:04:32.180 --> 00:04:35.500
I said, and it scared me. And so I started walking

00:04:35.500 --> 00:04:38.319
at least a mile a day. And then I changed what

00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.160
I ate. And this is what I changed to instead

00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:43.339
of all the junk. I went to fresh vegetables.

00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:47.160
I would eat a variety of fruit. And I would have

00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:48.959
chicken once in a while because I'm really not

00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:52.259
a meat person. But I eat nuts and things like

00:04:52.259 --> 00:04:55.519
that to get the protein. And then I eat Greek

00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:58.639
yogurt. Usually I have oatmeal for breakfast

00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:02.740
or a whole grain cereal. whole wheat pasta once

00:05:02.740 --> 00:05:07.160
in a while, salads, avocado sandwiches. And then,

00:05:07.180 --> 00:05:10.360
like I said, no fast food or junk food. And then

00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:13.420
I drink water or tea. And then instead of eating

00:05:13.420 --> 00:05:16.959
chips, I would eat baby carrots and slice up

00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:19.480
peppers, you know, the colored bell peppers.

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:23.620
And then I rarely drank alcohol because that

00:05:23.620 --> 00:05:27.500
has a really high sugar content. So within a

00:05:27.500 --> 00:05:30.540
couple of months of doing this, I was back to

00:05:30.540 --> 00:05:33.199
a normal weight because I was doing this daily.

00:05:33.540 --> 00:05:36.360
And I was able to fit in all my old clothes.

00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:39.720
And boy, I was happy to do that. And then I have

00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:41.920
been able to keep the weight off. And I think

00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:44.220
it's been going on like six years now, six or

00:05:44.220 --> 00:05:47.610
seven years. And I've kept the weight off. And

00:05:47.610 --> 00:05:51.829
I did end up having to get on blood pressure

00:05:51.829 --> 00:05:55.170
medicine, but I'm fine. I mean, everything's

00:05:55.170 --> 00:05:57.709
under control. And then it was within about a

00:05:57.709 --> 00:06:00.790
year that the plaque on the arteries, it was

00:06:00.790 --> 00:06:05.329
gone. And the doctor mentioned that it took years

00:06:05.329 --> 00:06:09.170
to get that buildup. And like I said, after that,

00:06:09.250 --> 00:06:12.310
I had energy and I had my self -confidence back.

00:06:12.470 --> 00:06:18.279
And, you know, and luckily. I have a lot of willpower

00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:22.259
and discipline. As we know, in the holidays,

00:06:22.420 --> 00:06:25.560
there's lots of food around. And you are tempted.

00:06:26.459 --> 00:06:30.079
Yeah, yeah. Well, it's good food, but not healthy.

00:06:30.420 --> 00:06:33.879
And you are so tempted with all the food that

00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:35.639
people bring. Same thing when I was working.

00:06:35.899 --> 00:06:37.160
You know, people would bring, we'd have these

00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:39.319
potlucks and people would bring in food. And

00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:41.660
it's like, but I just can't eat any of this without

00:06:41.660 --> 00:06:45.410
paying for it. So, and when we would go to other

00:06:45.410 --> 00:06:47.990
people's homes, it was so hard to find healthy

00:06:47.990 --> 00:06:51.290
food and you didn't want to make them feel like

00:06:51.290 --> 00:06:54.910
they had to make you something special. So I

00:06:54.910 --> 00:06:57.670
would, at Potluck, I would bring a veggie tray.

00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:01.220
And I would bring food that I could eat when

00:07:01.220 --> 00:07:03.120
we go to people's homes, so at least I could

00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:05.800
eat and not starve. And if they had salads or

00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.259
something like that, I could eat that. And going

00:07:08.259 --> 00:07:12.220
out to eat was another challenge. And most restaurants

00:07:12.220 --> 00:07:15.899
have fresh vegetables as a side, and you can

00:07:15.899 --> 00:07:18.980
also order that and brown rice and then add a

00:07:18.980 --> 00:07:23.720
fruit when possible. Thanks to our sponsor to

00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:24.060
own podcast. So, you know, there was a time there

00:08:24.060 --> 00:08:25.959
where you couldn't find anything healthy, but

00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:28.240
now they do have a lot of things that you can

00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:30.879
eat because more people are going to the healthier

00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:34.519
lifestyle. And the thing is, is if you eat a

00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:37.879
well -balanced diet along with exercise, you

00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:40.700
will have more energy and self -confidence, and

00:08:40.700 --> 00:08:43.240
you can also reduce the risk of some cancer,

00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:47.799
some heart disease, which is really, like I said.

00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:50.580
That's a good thing. And the part that surprised

00:08:50.580 --> 00:08:55.039
me still is that within a year, that plaque was

00:08:55.039 --> 00:08:57.440
no longer on my arteries and that killed my dad.

00:08:57.779 --> 00:09:01.720
And so it's just no matter what age you are,

00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:05.539
you can do things that can reverse the damage

00:09:05.539 --> 00:09:08.019
that was done when you were younger. And that

00:09:08.019 --> 00:09:10.080
to me is a really good thing and a good thing

00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:12.620
to let people know because a lot of times they

00:09:12.620 --> 00:09:16.230
will start coming down with all these. symptoms

00:09:16.230 --> 00:09:21.070
and diseases and a lot of people just kind of

00:09:21.070 --> 00:09:25.110
just give up and really don't do anything about

00:09:25.110 --> 00:09:27.830
it. So if you know that there's a way to get

00:09:27.830 --> 00:09:30.809
you back to how you felt, let's say you're in

00:09:30.809 --> 00:09:33.309
your 20s and 30s, well, you know, go for it.

00:09:33.950 --> 00:09:38.570
And don't wait for your body to start breaking

00:09:38.570 --> 00:09:41.570
down before you start eating right. And believe

00:09:41.570 --> 00:09:44.610
me, healthy food can taste good and it's still

00:09:44.610 --> 00:09:48.309
filling. And at times, like I said, the damage

00:09:48.309 --> 00:09:50.649
can be reversed and you're putting the right

00:09:50.649 --> 00:09:53.529
foods and your body's getting the right vitamins

00:09:53.529 --> 00:09:57.269
and minerals and minimal amounts of good fats

00:09:57.269 --> 00:10:00.210
you're also getting in your body. Now, you were

00:10:00.210 --> 00:10:02.320
going to say something? Yeah, I was about to

00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:07.159
say there. I read this one article. I forget

00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:11.440
how long ago it was because I didn't save it,

00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:16.539
the article. I did read it. But I just forget

00:10:16.539 --> 00:10:20.320
what year it was or how long ago. But anyway,

00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:25.960
it was this mom who had two kids, only one kid.

00:10:26.379 --> 00:10:30.860
And I like they were grownups and everything,

00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:35.679
but, but she had, she developed dementia and

00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:38.480
it was like really bad dementia where she forgot,

00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:40.779
where I was forgetting people's birthdays and

00:10:40.779 --> 00:10:44.419
names and everything. Well, instead of just,

00:10:44.500 --> 00:10:48.379
just kind of giving up and just kind of throwing

00:10:48.379 --> 00:10:51.039
in the towel, like, oh, well it's due to old

00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:54.000
age. I think she was in her sixties, I think.

00:10:55.369 --> 00:10:57.730
Again, I don't recall, I don't remember what

00:10:57.730 --> 00:11:02.269
article I read it in, but I couldn't make this

00:11:02.269 --> 00:11:10.649
up if I tried. And so like instead of putting

00:11:10.649 --> 00:11:12.610
her in a nursing home and just putting her basically

00:11:12.610 --> 00:11:16.929
on her deathbed, so to speak, they tried switching

00:11:16.929 --> 00:11:21.500
up her diet. Well, a few weeks later, after switching

00:11:21.500 --> 00:11:24.960
up her diet, what she ate, she put on a bunch

00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:29.379
of nuts and fruits and vegetables, took out like

00:11:29.379 --> 00:11:32.799
all the meat and everything. And she started

00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:36.860
to remember people's names again. Yes. Yes. I

00:11:36.860 --> 00:11:39.919
mean, like I said, if you get the right foods.

00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:43.460
And because if you think about it, the other

00:11:43.460 --> 00:11:46.220
things, they start killing us over time, you

00:11:46.220 --> 00:11:49.220
know, sugar, salt, I mean, all that. And the

00:11:49.220 --> 00:11:51.500
thing is, is when you go to the store and you

00:11:51.500 --> 00:11:53.840
buy all that processed food, it is just full

00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:56.379
of just, you know, things that create toxins

00:11:56.379 --> 00:12:00.500
in your system. And over time, like I said, it

00:12:00.500 --> 00:12:03.440
can make your body start wearing down, but it

00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:06.419
can be reversed. if you do the right things.

00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:09.779
Don't ever think you're too old to change anything.

00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:12.179
That's what I always try to tell people. Well,

00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:15.980
I definitely can know what you mean by if you

00:12:15.980 --> 00:12:20.120
eat like a bad unhealthy food and it doesn't

00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:23.879
make you feel good because there was this one

00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:31.360
time where I had like those, I was really on

00:12:32.250 --> 00:12:36.870
And it was like a cheat meal day for me. Like,

00:12:36.990 --> 00:12:39.690
I don't always need one. Sometimes I have once

00:12:39.690 --> 00:12:42.409
a week, but sometimes I could go like months

00:12:42.409 --> 00:12:45.769
without having one because, you know, it's just,

00:12:45.809 --> 00:12:48.549
I'm not one of those people who are like, oh,

00:12:48.549 --> 00:12:53.269
I need a cheat meal once a week. I can go whatever.

00:12:54.029 --> 00:13:00.480
And it was this one of afterwards it was just

00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:03.220
like such a heavy meal on my stomach i was like

00:13:03.220 --> 00:13:07.639
this is gross and i also agree with you about

00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:11.460
uh the processed lunch meat because i kid you

00:13:11.460 --> 00:13:15.639
not i went to the uh uh to the supermarket to

00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:20.100
uh pick out um uh lunch meat for myself right

00:13:20.100 --> 00:13:25.220
when i got home and put on a sandwich i saw this

00:13:25.220 --> 00:13:28.299
like I don't know what you call it. It looked

00:13:28.299 --> 00:13:32.279
like a little rainbow in the lunch meat. I was

00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:37.240
like, am I eating poison or what? I might as

00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:42.179
well eat a box of rat poison. Same thing. And

00:13:42.179 --> 00:13:44.799
it does not make you feel good. I mean, when

00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:47.559
you eat that all the time, like I said, your

00:13:47.559 --> 00:13:50.080
body, I mean, a lot of times people don't understand

00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:53.179
why when they're sluggish and they just don't

00:13:53.179 --> 00:13:57.620
feel like the energy. Like I said, those are

00:13:57.620 --> 00:14:00.399
the type of foods that will make your body, like

00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:02.779
I said, your body, and it's harder to digest

00:14:02.779 --> 00:14:07.320
also. So your body has to work harder to get

00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:10.600
that through your system. and i also can i also

00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:13.659
know how if you have too much if i have too much

00:14:13.659 --> 00:14:19.580
salt the swatch is kind of like i don't know

00:14:19.580 --> 00:14:21.500
how to explain it but basically i get a headache

00:14:21.500 --> 00:14:25.759
from just all the salt and it's like oh yeah

00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:28.559
it's bad you know and and it's and the thing

00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:32.360
is is that People are in such a rush now that

00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:34.980
they don't take time to make healthy food or

00:14:34.980 --> 00:14:36.840
they don't have time because they're so busy

00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:39.460
with their family and they're feeding their kids.

00:14:39.620 --> 00:14:41.500
Okay, we're going to stop by McDonald's, but

00:14:41.500 --> 00:14:43.980
now you're starting your kids out with this and

00:14:43.980 --> 00:14:47.539
then your kids end up being obese and they maybe

00:14:47.539 --> 00:14:51.039
get diabetes really early because you were giving

00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:53.799
them all this stuff. So you have to really think

00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:58.750
this through. You know, like I said, you have

00:14:58.750 --> 00:15:02.289
a mindset where you're going to be healthy. And

00:15:02.289 --> 00:15:05.309
if you start your kids out, you know, like, okay,

00:15:05.350 --> 00:15:08.850
this is what we're going to eat. I know my son

00:15:08.850 --> 00:15:11.690
-in -law and her daughter -in -law and her and

00:15:11.690 --> 00:15:15.850
my husband's son, they make sure they're girls.

00:15:16.029 --> 00:15:17.830
I mean, they will, you know, the thing is you

00:15:17.830 --> 00:15:21.389
can eat other things in moderation if you don't,

00:15:21.389 --> 00:15:23.370
you know, you don't want to sit there and just

00:15:23.370 --> 00:15:26.360
totally say you can't eat that. And especially

00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:27.940
with kids, because they're going to go find it

00:15:27.940 --> 00:15:30.440
somewhere anyway. But yeah, just, you know, you

00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:34.240
know, just minimize what you eat. And, but make

00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:36.639
sure and when they're young, just start them

00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:38.899
out that, hey, this is this is what we need to

00:15:38.899 --> 00:15:42.120
eat and make sure they exercise and all that.

00:15:42.139 --> 00:15:45.179
And then as they grow up into adults, that's

00:15:45.179 --> 00:15:50.570
going to become a habit to them. I had a lot

00:15:50.570 --> 00:15:53.669
of drunk food when I was growing up, not because

00:15:53.669 --> 00:15:57.090
my parents fed me unhealthy stuff. It's just

00:15:57.090 --> 00:15:59.990
that that's what we could afford back then. Yeah,

00:16:00.049 --> 00:16:02.389
well, that's true. Yeah, the thing is, is a lot

00:16:02.389 --> 00:16:05.690
of times you can't afford to buy. But the thing

00:16:05.690 --> 00:16:08.490
is, is people keep thinking that healthy food

00:16:08.490 --> 00:16:12.610
is expensive. Not really. I shop at Sprouts for

00:16:12.610 --> 00:16:18.809
all our fresh stuff. There are so many ads these

00:16:18.809 --> 00:16:21.570
days wherever you go. There are ads in movie

00:16:21.570 --> 00:16:24.789
theaters, on TV, on radio, and on billboards.

00:16:25.129 --> 00:16:27.789

00:16:55.580 --> 00:17:02.980
notes. Now let's get back to the show. And the

00:17:02.980 --> 00:17:06.680
thing is, they've done experiments. And I have

00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:11.240
in one of my posts and stuff is where you have

00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:15.269
a bag full of junk. and then you have a bag full

00:17:15.269 --> 00:17:17.349
of healthy stuff and then you go and you pay

00:17:17.349 --> 00:17:20.450
for for both of them and the experiment that

00:17:20.450 --> 00:17:24.230
they did the study was is and the healthy stuff

00:17:24.230 --> 00:17:26.569
was cheaper because think about what you pay

00:17:26.569 --> 00:17:29.650
for potato chips what you pay for you know all

00:17:29.650 --> 00:17:32.650
the cookies all that and you add that up and

00:17:32.650 --> 00:17:35.410
the healthier stuff is going to cost less a lot

00:17:35.410 --> 00:17:40.880
of times exactly you know Here's a tip for my

00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:47.940
listeners. Just because a recipe says put, I

00:17:47.940 --> 00:17:50.839
don't know, whatever, how much salt there is,

00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:53.720
doesn't mean you have to put that much salt in

00:17:53.720 --> 00:18:02.700
there. Exactly. This is not an ad for Beach By

00:18:02.700 --> 00:18:05.740
whatsoever because, boy, I would love for them

00:18:05.740 --> 00:18:11.809
to pay me. But one of the recipes had me put

00:18:11.809 --> 00:18:15.170
like two tablespoons of salt. It doesn't need

00:18:15.170 --> 00:18:17.029
two tablespoons of salt. I'm going to cook it

00:18:17.029 --> 00:18:20.910
for myself. So I only put like, I think, a half

00:18:20.910 --> 00:18:26.250
a tablespoon. And so I only put half. And it

00:18:26.250 --> 00:18:29.170
still had a great flavor. It still tastes good.

00:18:29.210 --> 00:18:32.769
Exactly. Yeah. And sometimes you can substitute

00:18:32.769 --> 00:18:35.630
in some of the recipes. They'll use applesauce

00:18:35.630 --> 00:18:38.390
in some things. You can substitute that. So,

00:18:38.390 --> 00:18:41.549
I mean, look for other ways that you can substitute

00:18:41.549 --> 00:18:43.710
some of those ingredients to make it healthier.

00:18:44.589 --> 00:18:48.549
I have a question for you, though. If someone

00:18:48.549 --> 00:18:55.089
wanted to change their lifestyle at whatever

00:18:55.089 --> 00:19:02.200
age, what would your... what would your tips

00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:06.579
for them be? Like, where would they start? Where

00:19:06.579 --> 00:19:08.839
would you start? The first thing is go to your

00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:13.380
doctor. Because a lot of times people don't go

00:19:13.380 --> 00:19:15.859
to the doctor unless they're sick. And as you

00:19:15.859 --> 00:19:18.339
get older, you should go to those physicals.

00:19:18.339 --> 00:19:21.099
And because, like I said, things will start happening

00:19:21.099 --> 00:19:23.519
as you get older. It will catch up with you.

00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:27.019
And so go to the doctor. sit down with them.

00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:30.680
A lot of the places or hospitals or doctors that

00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:34.079
you go to, they will have like nutritionists

00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:35.880
that, you know, classes and stuff that you can

00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:39.980
go to, you know, and, and, you know, there's,

00:19:39.980 --> 00:19:42.140
there's a list of things that you can do. The

00:19:42.140 --> 00:19:44.460
main thing is getting checked out, see what you

00:19:44.460 --> 00:19:48.000
have. see what the doctors suggest as far as,

00:19:48.019 --> 00:19:50.220
you know, if you have hypertension, of course,

00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:52.380
you're going to get on medication. But no matter

00:19:52.380 --> 00:19:54.140
what you have, if you have to be on medication,

00:19:54.859 --> 00:19:58.599
they, in fact, my doctor recently, because you

00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:03.319
have to do the tele, what's the tele, whatever

00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:07.720
it was, you talk to them in person. And she sent

00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:11.079
me some exercises because I also have osteoporosis.

00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:13.000
That was another thing that I ended up with.

00:20:13.559 --> 00:20:17.019
And she gave me exercises that because you don't

00:20:17.019 --> 00:20:19.220
want to, if you do anything too strenuous, you

00:20:19.220 --> 00:20:21.000
could break your bones and then you're in serious

00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:25.599
trouble. So she gave me all these exercises and

00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:28.519
if they're, you know, they're in videos and so

00:20:28.519 --> 00:20:31.480
you can, you know, just exercise from that and

00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:33.680
those things are helpful too. But like I said,

00:20:33.700 --> 00:20:35.920
that's the first step, you know, find out what

00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:40.329
they suggest. The thing is, is when you know,

00:20:40.349 --> 00:20:43.910
start out, like in my nutrition class, I'm teaching

00:20:43.910 --> 00:20:46.869
all this too, is make, first off, I say, get

00:20:46.869 --> 00:20:49.789
rid of all the bad stuff in your cupboards, okay?

00:20:49.950 --> 00:20:52.930
Then you make a list of healthy, and like I said,

00:20:52.990 --> 00:20:55.690
in our nutrition class, we teach the things you

00:20:55.690 --> 00:20:59.269
should eat to get all the vitamins and macronutrients

00:20:59.269 --> 00:21:03.410
and all that you need. And so you make a list

00:21:03.410 --> 00:21:05.869
for that, you go to the store, and you help your

00:21:05.869 --> 00:21:09.869
whole family. is on board with this because it

00:21:09.869 --> 00:21:12.430
makes it harder if they're at least not there

00:21:12.430 --> 00:21:15.109
to support you because you do need a support

00:21:15.109 --> 00:21:18.269
group to help you through it. Because if you

00:21:18.269 --> 00:21:20.150
don't have the willpower and a lot of people

00:21:20.150 --> 00:21:22.170
will just give up and they'll say, oh, the heck

00:21:22.170 --> 00:21:25.549
with this. But, you know, just try that. So go

00:21:25.549 --> 00:21:31.029
to the store and, you know, buy all new stuff.

00:21:31.109 --> 00:21:32.630
So now you're going to be stuck with it. Okay,

00:21:32.710 --> 00:21:35.329
now, you know, go find all the recipes that you

00:21:35.329 --> 00:21:39.680
can. that are healthy. And like you said, you

00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:42.559
know, watch out for even, and when we, when I

00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:45.720
cook on my own, I either use very little salt

00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:48.519
because my son wants it in there, but you can

00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:51.079
make things taste so good just with all the different

00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:53.299
spices that don't have salt in them. And you

00:21:53.299 --> 00:21:56.000
mix different spices and you can come up, I mean,

00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:59.670
I make peppers. And we just put all these spices

00:21:59.670 --> 00:22:02.809
on it. And then you put it like on, if you want

00:22:02.809 --> 00:22:05.269
on rice or pasta, you could just eat it by itself.

00:22:05.450 --> 00:22:08.069
And it tastes wonderful. You don't need salt.

00:22:08.349 --> 00:22:12.130
You really don't. And like I said, that's a good

00:22:12.130 --> 00:22:13.710
way to start. The same thing with the sugar.

00:22:14.390 --> 00:22:18.009
Don't, if you drink Cokes or anything like that,

00:22:18.069 --> 00:22:20.990
anything that's high in sugar, try to go just

00:22:20.990 --> 00:22:22.970
to plain water because you really need water

00:22:22.970 --> 00:22:27.299
anyway. So go to the water. And then like teas,

00:22:27.339 --> 00:22:30.180
teas without sugar in them, because they've got

00:22:30.180 --> 00:22:32.319
all these flavored teas now that taste wonderful.

00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:37.160
I used to drink a lot of tea. And it's good for

00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:41.180
you. I drank the other kind of tea, not even

00:22:41.180 --> 00:22:44.680
the green tea, just the ones with the tea bags.

00:22:46.019 --> 00:22:52.640
And I used to drink a lot of soda too, but I

00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:58.579
used to... Yeah, I used to drink too much soda

00:22:58.579 --> 00:23:03.920
and my teeth got all yellow and gross. Or they

00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:08.700
get decayed. I even read an article, my parents

00:23:08.700 --> 00:23:11.640
made me read an article years ago that I really

00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:15.559
didn't pay attention to until, well, until I

00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:19.299
took a nutrition course. I mean, this was before

00:23:19.299 --> 00:23:23.759
the nutrition course, but in the article said

00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:29.859
that Coca -Cola and, and I don't have the article

00:23:29.859 --> 00:23:33.180
anymore, but I think it's back in my other house.

00:23:33.859 --> 00:23:37.599
I think I could be wrong. I don't know. I saved

00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:46.880
too much crap. Anyway, not to disgust anybody.

00:23:48.220 --> 00:23:51.799
Not to gross anybody out or anything, but at

00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:56.019
least not trying to purpose, but Coca -Cola,

00:23:56.140 --> 00:24:01.740
I read in this article, can take off rust on

00:24:01.740 --> 00:24:06.819
your car and anything around it. I mean, that

00:24:06.819 --> 00:24:11.299
is applied to Coca -Cola too. And it can also

00:24:11.299 --> 00:24:14.279
clean your toilet. So next time when you're drinking

00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:18.809
one, just remember that. Yes. Yeah, it will also,

00:24:18.869 --> 00:24:21.190
somebody put a nail in there, we'll rest a nail.

00:24:21.750 --> 00:24:24.250
So it's, yeah. I mean, if you could, I mean,

00:24:24.289 --> 00:24:26.890
find something else that you want to drink and

00:24:26.890 --> 00:24:32.099
try to get away from those. You know, like I

00:24:32.099 --> 00:24:35.000
said, you've got to get a different mindset.

00:24:35.259 --> 00:24:37.279
That's the main thing, too. You have to have

00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:40.160
this mindset that you're going to do this and

00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:42.579
get the support group, some type of support group

00:24:42.579 --> 00:24:46.500
behind you, a friend or someone in the family.

00:24:46.539 --> 00:24:49.140
But you have to have that support if you want

00:24:49.140 --> 00:24:51.339
to be successful. Because a lot of people, and

00:24:51.339 --> 00:24:54.359
don't consider it a diet. You know, say you're

00:24:54.359 --> 00:24:56.359
changing your lifestyle. If you say a diet because

00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:59.450
people, look how many people. you know, at the

00:24:59.450 --> 00:25:01.369
beginning of the year, I'm going to diet, and

00:25:01.369 --> 00:25:03.410
within a month, they're off the diet, so this

00:25:03.410 --> 00:25:05.410
has to be something that you are going to be

00:25:05.410 --> 00:25:09.390
dedicated to. Well, I'll tell you a true story

00:25:09.390 --> 00:25:14.190
real quick. How I got rid of my soda habit is

00:25:14.190 --> 00:25:16.769
that I started cutting back off of it gradually,

00:25:17.029 --> 00:25:21.990
and my dentist said my teeth and gums look much

00:25:21.990 --> 00:25:24.789
healthier than it used to be. It was yellow and

00:25:24.789 --> 00:25:27.549
everything, but I was like, oh, it looks much

00:25:27.549 --> 00:25:29.650
healthier. And I was like, oh, that's great.

00:25:29.910 --> 00:25:35.410
So me and my parents came up with this compromise

00:25:35.410 --> 00:25:39.529
that if I got off, like, leaned completely off

00:25:39.529 --> 00:25:43.009
the soda, they would help me get my teeth whiteened

00:25:43.009 --> 00:25:46.240
and everything. So I was like, well I would always

00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:49.039
like a pair of white teeth and not the yellow

00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:52.140
stuff anymore because every picture I'm in was

00:25:52.140 --> 00:25:56.519
just yellow and like even if like from afar you

00:25:56.519 --> 00:26:00.200
wouldn't really notice but I'm very critical

00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:05.039
of my appearance not like I wasn't a bad thing

00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:08.640
but I was like well gee every time I smile it's

00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:11.720
like hey look at my white teeth I mean my yellow

00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:14.930
teeth at the time and so I made that compromise

00:26:14.930 --> 00:26:18.950
and so and so I was able to get my teeth right

00:26:18.950 --> 00:26:25.170
in and since it wasn't it wasn't cheap uh yeah

00:26:25.170 --> 00:26:29.029
so it kind of helped me so I was like well now

00:26:29.029 --> 00:26:33.180
you can't drink anything that um I can stain

00:26:33.180 --> 00:26:35.579
your teeth and like I can and like cocoa powder

00:26:35.579 --> 00:26:37.539
does not stain my teeth because it's just a powder

00:26:37.539 --> 00:26:42.799
but anything with chocolate syrup in it or like

00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:48.920
chocolate chips, coca -cola and those dense sugary

00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:53.740
drinks like I don't know like all the diet drinks

00:26:53.740 --> 00:26:59.119
like Gatorade and whatnot can just stain your

00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:02.000
teeth and everything. So now I just steer clear

00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:05.000
of those. And I know some people might say, oh,

00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:08.339
well, and it's like, well, I like those. And

00:27:08.339 --> 00:27:11.180
it's like, well, that's fine for you if you want

00:27:11.180 --> 00:27:15.240
to stay that way. But for me, I want to do something

00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:19.339
where I wouldn't be tempted because it's like,

00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:21.900
oh, well, if I just keep my teeth yellow, I can

00:27:21.900 --> 00:27:26.480
have a cheat soda. And right before that surgery,

00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:31.079
not the surgery, but right before the teeth whitening,

00:27:31.220 --> 00:27:33.740
I actually had one more soda just for the heck

00:27:33.740 --> 00:27:37.319
of it. I took a sip of it. I was like, I don't

00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:39.099
like the taste anymore. It's just disgusting.

00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:44.839
And now I just carry HyperFlex with me. And this

00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:48.640
is not a promotion. Boy, they should be paying

00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:51.880
me. Good Lord. I know. Yeah. There's sometimes,

00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:55.170
yeah, we should get paid for it. Yeah, I was

00:27:55.170 --> 00:27:58.269
like, I only have 32 -ounce hydroflask with me

00:27:58.269 --> 00:28:03.250
sitting on my desk as we speak. Yeah, but like

00:28:03.250 --> 00:28:05.789
I said, and like I said, here, and it's the mindset,

00:28:05.789 --> 00:28:08.150
too. If you say, hey, you know, I'm going to

00:28:08.150 --> 00:28:10.710
change to this, and you start liking that, yeah,

00:28:10.769 --> 00:28:13.269
then there's, it's easier to walk away from other

00:28:13.269 --> 00:28:16.630
things that you were kind of addicted, because

00:28:16.630 --> 00:28:19.490
you can get addicted to that caffeine and the

00:28:19.490 --> 00:28:22.720
coke. A lot of people do if they drink six or

00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:25.259
so a day, you know, it's like, oh, you know,

00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:27.880
it's like a, you're a cocaholic instead of an

00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:30.700
alcoholic, you know, and it's, yeah. So you just

00:28:30.700 --> 00:28:32.759
want to, yeah, you just want to kind of see that.

00:28:32.819 --> 00:28:37.299
Oh, and then the other thing too is, so you have

00:28:37.299 --> 00:28:40.279
healthy, you can do this ahead of time is, and,

00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:42.299
you know, kind of make, you know, find the recipes,

00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:46.660
you know, fix all of it up and freeze it. You

00:28:46.660 --> 00:28:48.900
can put it in the freezer. you know, what you're

00:28:48.900 --> 00:28:54.019
going to eat during the week. There are so many

00:28:54.019 --> 00:28:56.940

you can have an excuse, oh, I'm too tired to

00:29:41.380 --> 00:29:43.079

00:29:46.099 --> 00:29:48.079
you know, make a salad or whatever you have,

00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:50.920
you don't want to with it and you're set. And

00:29:50.920 --> 00:29:53.700
that's another thing. So you just, you want to

00:29:53.700 --> 00:29:56.400
do everything you can to keep yourself motivated

00:29:56.400 --> 00:29:59.740
and, you know, excited about what you're doing.

00:29:59.819 --> 00:30:03.720
You know, it's because we all get tired and all

00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:05.980
of us understand that, but if you can find ways

00:30:05.980 --> 00:30:08.980
to make it easier, to get through the times that

00:30:08.980 --> 00:30:11.839
you are tired then you know go for it. Or you

00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:15.420
could get some or you can find some healthy frozen

00:30:15.420 --> 00:30:19.359
foods like I know Trader Joe's made some frozen

00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:22.799
fish burgers and I looked at the ingredients

00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:25.279
they're like only four ingredients there's nothing

00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:28.089
that Oh, that's good. You know, there's some

00:30:28.089 --> 00:30:31.150
of those words out there, like, that can combine

00:30:31.150 --> 00:30:33.529
multiple ingredients. Oh, yeah. The thing is,

00:30:33.549 --> 00:30:35.410
they say if you can't read it, you probably don't

00:30:35.410 --> 00:30:37.789
want to eat it. Yeah, well, I mean, there's also

00:30:37.789 --> 00:30:40.230
those words where they can put all these other

00:30:40.230 --> 00:30:42.789
ingredients behind that one word, and so you

00:30:42.789 --> 00:30:46.109
don't have to list all the ingredients, but there's

00:30:46.109 --> 00:30:47.849
nothing like that in the box. It's literally

00:30:47.849 --> 00:30:51.230
only three or four ingredients. Oh, that's good.

00:30:51.690 --> 00:30:53.730
It's like, oh, well, you know, sometimes I just

00:30:53.730 --> 00:30:56.420
like something easy that I can literally just

00:30:56.420 --> 00:31:00.980
put on the stove frozen cook it and i'm done

00:31:00.980 --> 00:31:04.019
i mean like i'm trust me i'm not having them

00:31:04.019 --> 00:31:07.119
every single night but like okay right just to

00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:09.940
fill in karate class uh i have different time

00:31:09.940 --> 00:31:13.079
karate classes oh i gotta eat something oh my

00:31:13.079 --> 00:31:15.599
goodness well i didn't get to the store to go

00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:19.200
get a chicken breast well i'm gonna throw one

00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:23.319
on the throw them one on the stove And just to

00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:26.299
speed it up even more, my dad taught me a technique.

00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:29.740
Now you run a cooking show, cooking channel?

00:31:30.140 --> 00:31:35.319
I forgot what show. But, and I think it was Diner

00:31:35.319 --> 00:31:40.819
Drivers and Dives. And you put a little bit of

00:31:40.819 --> 00:31:48.720
water in the pan. Like you put the water in on

00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:52.869
the, you put the water. a little bit of water

00:31:52.869 --> 00:31:56.789
in the pan when the stuff when the food is cooking

00:31:56.789 --> 00:31:59.309
and then you put the lid on it and so you're

00:31:59.309 --> 00:32:02.789
basically steaming uh your frozen food and so

00:32:02.789 --> 00:32:06.869
it cooks faster and plus it stays moist and i

00:32:06.869 --> 00:32:09.390
tried this a few times instead of just waiting

00:32:09.390 --> 00:32:12.170
for it to cook off all the way through just without

00:32:12.170 --> 00:32:17.369
any lid on it takes like maybe maybe like five,

00:32:17.549 --> 00:32:20.089
eight minutes. But with the steaming, it takes

00:32:20.089 --> 00:32:22.329
like three or four minutes per side. And I was

00:32:22.329 --> 00:32:25.569
like, geez. I was like, this thing is fast. And

00:32:25.569 --> 00:32:28.690
I was like, the cooking channel is the best thing

00:32:28.690 --> 00:32:32.890
that ever happened. Yeah. And like I said, it's

00:32:32.890 --> 00:32:36.069
so moist. And because there's certain way things

00:32:36.069 --> 00:32:39.009
you can, the way you cook it, it can be really

00:32:39.009 --> 00:32:41.750
dry. And to me, it doesn't taste good once it's

00:32:41.750 --> 00:32:46.160
dry. So before we finish. I was going to say,

00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:48.559
I have the exercise part here too. So you want

00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:51.599
me to go ahead and do that and then you can finish.

00:32:52.059 --> 00:32:55.880
Yeah, sure. Okay. Well, okay. So now for the

00:32:55.880 --> 00:32:59.519
exercise side of it. And I have lived in California

00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:04.400
since 1976 and it is a health conscious state.

00:33:04.539 --> 00:33:06.640
Thank goodness. You know, and you, I remember

00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:10.200
when we traveled back East and people were smoking

00:33:10.200 --> 00:33:13.980
and doing and all of it. I mean, for years they

00:33:13.980 --> 00:33:17.920
had, you know, no smoking areas in California.

00:33:18.079 --> 00:33:20.859
So that part I was happy about because that helps

00:33:20.859 --> 00:33:27.119
motivate you too. And then, as I said, I had

00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:30.859
joined Jazzercise, and then the gyms became more

00:33:30.859 --> 00:33:34.180
popular. And the thing is, as they became popular,

00:33:34.460 --> 00:33:36.720
you would have to wait for certain machines.

00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:40.099
And many women were not comfortable in a co -ed

00:33:40.099 --> 00:33:44.430
class, exercise class. And so curves. became

00:33:44.430 --> 00:33:47.069
a fitness studio option and that was over 25

00:33:47.069 --> 00:33:50.529
years ago but you were able to do that and they

00:33:50.529 --> 00:33:52.769
were smaller classes so you were able to get

00:33:52.769 --> 00:33:57.359
in and exercise and it's just like I remember

00:33:57.359 --> 00:34:00.359
really calling all the gyms and stuff, meat markets.

00:34:00.539 --> 00:34:04.279
And it's true. And, or you'd have to wait forever

00:34:04.279 --> 00:34:06.319
or you could never get to a machine without,

00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:10.019
you know, waiting and having to, you know, your

00:34:10.019 --> 00:34:12.099
time's precious. And so you want to be able to

00:34:12.099 --> 00:34:14.400
get things done and go and do something else.

00:34:14.619 --> 00:34:17.760
So that's what happened. And, and then why I

00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:20.480
exercise, like I said, eat good. And now you

00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:24.800
want it to exercise and it's recommended for,

00:34:24.900 --> 00:34:28.800
for good health. It helps us sleep better. It

00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:32.119
clears our minds and improves our mood and attitude.

00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:35.760
And it gives us more energy and controls what

00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:40.639
we eat and burns fat, builds muscles, lowers

00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:43.559
your cholesterol and blood pressure, diabetes,

00:34:43.880 --> 00:34:46.800
and it boosts your metabolism and it strengthens

00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:50.980
your heart and lungs. There's a lot of... benefit

00:34:50.980 --> 00:34:54.639
that you get from exercising. And it's recommended

00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:59.219
that we do about 150 minutes of moderate aerobic

00:34:59.219 --> 00:35:02.400
exercise weekly, and that's like walking, and

00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:05.900
about 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic exercise,

00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:08.239
and that's like running, and then to be in a

00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:10.960
healthy state. And you can also combine those,

00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:13.940
the moderate and the vigorous, to also get it.

00:35:13.980 --> 00:35:17.570
I think I do too many of them. Pardon me? I think

00:35:17.570 --> 00:35:19.889
I did too many exercises. Too many? Well, like

00:35:19.889 --> 00:35:22.969
I said, that's it. Because I remember when they

00:35:22.969 --> 00:35:24.610
would, you know, there'd be these people that

00:35:24.610 --> 00:35:27.610
were just exercising all the time. And I remember

00:35:27.610 --> 00:35:29.829
that then coming on the news or whatever, and

00:35:29.829 --> 00:35:32.090
they say, well, you know, there's no benefit

00:35:32.090 --> 00:35:35.710
is happening after a certain point. So you can

00:35:35.710 --> 00:35:38.269
exercise. Yes, you can exercise too much. And

00:35:38.269 --> 00:35:46.420
it's not good for you either. I like the... uh

00:35:46.420 --> 00:35:51.300
yeah i definitely i like to work out a lot well

00:35:51.300 --> 00:35:53.619
you just you feel well like i said you just don't

00:35:53.619 --> 00:35:56.480
want to overdo it but it you feel so much better

00:35:56.480 --> 00:35:59.320
you know it's talk about giving you energy and

00:35:59.320 --> 00:36:01.059
to me and especially if you start off in the

00:36:01.059 --> 00:36:05.400
morning and i i love to walk and walking in the

00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:08.820
morning i mean it just gets me so invigorated

00:36:08.820 --> 00:36:11.159
for the the rest of the day i just that's my

00:36:11.159 --> 00:36:14.630
time frame that i like to the exercise. So, and

00:36:14.630 --> 00:36:18.309
then you have to make sure you prevent dehydration

00:36:18.309 --> 00:36:21.590
and be sure and drink approximately eight, eight

00:36:21.590 --> 00:36:25.670
ounce glasses of water a day. And then, I don't

00:36:25.670 --> 00:36:27.369
know if a lot of people know this, but up to

00:36:27.369 --> 00:36:30.690
60 % of the human body, adult body is water.

00:36:31.309 --> 00:36:34.670
And this can change slightly with our age and

00:36:34.670 --> 00:36:38.469
sex and hydration levels. But yeah, our body

00:36:38.469 --> 00:36:42.789
is more than half water. And then here's a quote

00:36:42.789 --> 00:36:46.289
that John F. Kennedy has about physical fitness.

00:36:46.489 --> 00:36:49.409
He says, physical fitness is not only one of

00:36:49.409 --> 00:36:52.309
the most important keys to a healthy body, it

00:36:52.309 --> 00:36:55.750
is a basis of dynamic and creative intellectual

00:36:55.750 --> 00:37:01.019
activity. I thought that was good. Yeah. And

00:37:01.019 --> 00:37:04.940
then as I said, I, you know, did, you know, everything

00:37:04.940 --> 00:37:07.900
that I was eating right and now exercising. And

00:37:07.900 --> 00:37:09.880
so, I mean, I was really, really feeling good.

00:37:10.519 --> 00:37:15.320
And, and then I also have a health becomes fitness

00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:19.440
podcast. And so if you want to, you know, let

00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:22.409
your. audience and all that too. And so that

00:37:22.409 --> 00:37:26.250
I have interviews like Jimmy is having with me

00:37:26.250 --> 00:37:30.389
and where we can discuss nutrition and exercise

00:37:30.389 --> 00:37:33.869
and all that on there too to show people know

00:37:33.869 --> 00:37:37.949
what's out there to stay healthy. And then in

00:37:37.949 --> 00:37:43.789
my closing, to feel and look good. You need to

00:37:43.789 --> 00:37:46.769
live a healthy lifestyle and eat the right foods

00:37:46.769 --> 00:37:50.389
and exercise regularly and drink your water daily.

00:37:50.710 --> 00:37:54.929
And then if you follow a regular regimen, it

00:37:54.929 --> 00:37:56.949
will help give you that energy that you need

00:37:56.949 --> 00:37:59.070
and you'll build your self -esteem and it'll

00:37:59.070 --> 00:38:01.960
help lose your weight. And it gives you that

00:38:01.960 --> 00:38:05.000
more positive outlook. And so you'll be engaging

00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:07.599
in activities and events that maybe you weren't

00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:09.760
doing anymore. So now you'll be out there and

00:38:09.760 --> 00:38:13.039
socializing. And then also in closing, this is

00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:14.980
to me is really important is like make a healthy

00:38:14.980 --> 00:38:18.460
lifestyle and exercising fun and something that

00:38:18.460 --> 00:38:22.820
