kind of tacky you are reading
00:01:12.53\00:01:14.81
magazine I was introducing
you as my lovely bride of
00:01:14.84\00:01:18.28
15 glorious wonderful years.
00:01:19.16\00:01:21.33
Hello, hello okay
you want to say anything
00:01:21.36\00:01:23.75
back based on that 15 glorious
00:01:23.78\00:01:26.27
wonderful years okay
yeah well the 15 glorious
00:01:26.30\00:01:27.67
years absolutely
fantastic and I'm excited
00:01:27.70\00:01:31.08
because of the
15 years of married
00:01:31.11\00:01:33.08
years the 15 years
and also this article
00:01:33.11\00:01:36.20
oh okay you have an
article this article
00:01:36.23\00:01:37.99
in the magazine was
Natural Geographic aha it's
00:01:38.02\00:01:39.80
there National Geographic
yeah it's says regular
00:01:39.83\00:01:41.30
church goers
appear to live as much as
00:01:41.33\00:01:44.22
two years longer
than non-church goers yes
00:01:44.25\00:01:47.45
attending church they
get extra two years plus
00:01:47.48\00:01:49.74
and then it said by
this gentleman by name of
00:01:49.77\00:01:52.21
Scott Smith okay
he says that spiritual
00:01:52.24\00:01:55.40
and physical
health go hand in hand
00:01:55.43\00:01:57.25
oh they closely
connected and to accept Christ
00:01:57.28\00:02:00.28
is to be free
which lowers your stress.
00:02:00.89\00:02:04.80
Oh now we need that
okay, accept Christ, alright.
00:02:04.83\00:02:07.81
Now we're going to
come back on that article
00:02:07.84\00:02:10.28
and that magazine little
bit later in the program,
00:02:10.31\00:02:12.99
but again, again when
we open up the program
00:02:13.02\00:02:15.84
it be good not to
be reading anything
00:02:15.87\00:02:18.06
that way you know
it's kind of tacky so.
00:02:18.09\00:02:21.05
Okay, you can
probably do it next time...
00:02:21.08\00:02:23.25
What I would do is as
I'm asking question of you
00:02:23.28\00:02:25.59
this kind of still glance
at the article is that okay.
00:02:25.62\00:02:28.27
okay you can do that
that's not a problem okay
00:02:28.30\00:02:30.52
that' now you said
a group of believers
00:02:30.55\00:02:32.10
so a group of
believers how about briefly
00:02:32.13\00:02:33.50
talking to us then
about this group of believers.
00:02:33.53\00:02:35.27
Okay, now these
group of believers now
00:02:35.30\00:02:36.91
of course a clue
is given in our tease
00:02:36.94\00:02:39.99
Adventist advantage
00:02:40.02\00:02:42.98
and so we're talking about
00:02:43.39\00:02:45.00
of course the
Seventh Day Adventist Church.
00:02:45.03\00:02:48.00
Now I have to say
this folks to start off
00:02:48.03\00:02:50.69
with as we were
coming up here my wife
00:02:51.57\00:02:52.94
and I driving up to do
a series of TV programs
00:02:52.97\00:02:55.13
today that we've been
host of Abundant Living
00:02:55.16\00:02:59.89
for 12 years now and we've tape
00:02:59.92\00:03:03.24
probably around the 180
00:03:03.27\00:03:05.35
Abundant Living TV programs.
00:03:05.38\00:03:07.04
I have to say this
folk's that this program
00:03:07.71\00:03:10.51
is pulled and
probably played more often
00:03:11.20\00:03:13.67
that any other program,
00:03:13.70\00:03:15.92
because when it comes to
different topics there are
00:03:16.48\00:03:19.46
sometimes a lot of controversy
00:03:19.49\00:03:21.12
be at politics or
religion of different churches
00:03:21.63\00:03:24.16
so we want to come
across in a good way
00:03:24.19\00:03:27.51
and I think the Bible
says too much is given
00:03:28.04\00:03:30.43
much is require
right, right and so we feel
00:03:30.98\00:03:33.66
God has given a lot of to
00:03:33.69\00:03:35.06
Seventh Day Adventist
Church in the area of health,
00:03:35.09\00:03:37.04
but to give a little background
00:03:37.07\00:03:39.07
we need to go back to the 1800's
00:03:39.10\00:03:40.90
and what was the
health status in the 1800's.
00:03:41.28\00:03:44.12
I'm gonna to give
you a few examples
00:03:44.15\00:03:45.58
and you understand
what I'm talking about
00:03:45.61\00:03:47.06
number One let me start
with our first president
00:03:47.49\00:03:50.74
of United States
George Washington.
00:03:50.77\00:03:53.56
In early 1800s he was taken ill,
00:03:54.04\00:03:56.47
he was a very sick and
in a health practice during
00:03:56.92\00:04:00.64
that time he call
for not the physicians
00:04:00.67\00:04:03.51
but what they call then
it's called the Bleeders
00:04:03.61\00:04:07.10
where the physician
he came by and they drew
00:04:07.63\00:04:10.58
about 8 ounces of
blood from George Washington,
00:04:10.61\00:04:14.75
thinking that blood
is to cause of disease
00:04:15.25\00:04:17.64
so they drew blood
away from him. Right.
00:04:17.67\00:04:19.39
The next physician the
next day they called three
00:04:19.59\00:04:22.19
this the second physician
00:04:22.22\00:04:23.98
for the next day they
came and drew some more blood
00:04:24.01\00:04:26.26
another 6 ounces of
blood and the third one came
00:04:26.29\00:04:29.61
and do some more
blood 32 ounces in all
00:04:29.64\00:04:32.09
and then also they
gave him several the drugs
00:04:32.81\00:04:35.41
doing that time
okay one was Opium
00:04:35.44\00:04:38.19
which is one
ingredients those come
00:04:38.22\00:04:40.40
to street drugs Oxycontin
00:04:40.43\00:04:42.28
and Heroin and other
is drug is called Calomel
00:04:42.31\00:04:45.45
there is also
deals with poisoning
00:04:45.90\00:04:48.23
and it was very damaging
00:04:48.26\00:04:50.36
and very
detrimental to the system
00:04:50.97\00:04:53.04
can cause paralysis
in all kinds of problems
00:04:53.07\00:04:55.69
and after awhile
George Washington says
00:04:56.27\00:04:57.90
it's matter of
record he says enough
00:04:57.93\00:05:00.26
is enough leave me alone
00:05:00.46\00:05:02.75
and later on he past.
Well, they felt so proud that
00:05:03.34\00:05:07.37
they advertise those physicians
00:05:07.40\00:05:09.89
what they did to
George Washington
00:05:09.92\00:05:12.03
as far as the
treatment is concerned
00:05:12.06\00:05:13.43
to let the world know
that he had the best of care.
00:05:13.46\00:05:16.73
In other words,
they thought they
00:05:17.21\00:05:18.58
were doing him a
world of good, right, right,
00:05:18.61\00:05:19.98
but were ignorant
during that time, okay.
00:05:20.01\00:05:21.81
Another incident, if
you had a child let's
00:05:21.84\00:05:24.60
say 2 or 3-
years-old and that child had
00:05:24.63\00:05:27.19
a bad cough we
call that croup, a bad
00:05:27.22\00:05:28.93
cough like a seal
coughing or barking
00:05:28.96\00:05:32.76
and chest congestion and
00:05:32.79\00:05:34.25
mucous and that kind of thing.
00:05:34.28\00:05:35.71
What they would
do with that child
00:05:36.16\00:05:37.53
in that mid
1800s they would give
00:05:37.56\00:05:40.19
that child about a teaspoon of
00:05:40.22\00:05:42.77
Sherry Wine, really,
and see how the child
00:05:43.20\00:05:45.60
is gonna to work
with the Sherry Wine.
00:05:45.63\00:05:47.33
If the cough
didn't go away they would
00:05:47.36\00:05:49.83
double the dose and
draw some blood away
00:05:49.86\00:05:52.68
from that child as well.
00:05:52.71\00:05:54.08
if you had a lung problem
00:05:54.31\00:05:56.97
lung disease
coughing whatever okay
00:05:57.39\00:05:59.32
and I'm not making this up
00:05:59.61\00:06:00.98
they will insist that
if you are not a smoker,
00:06:01.09\00:06:04.61
start smoking,
and when you smoke
00:06:05.11\00:06:07.40
you inhale
enough for the smoke in
00:06:07.43\00:06:09.17
a vapors to cure
your lungs problems
00:06:09.20\00:06:12.72
so this is the type
of medical fault during
00:06:13.16\00:06:16.19
this time and diet as
far as diet was concerned..
00:06:16.22\00:06:19.36
You know there is a
diet for lifestyle and diet,
00:06:19.63\00:06:23.46
and there is a diet for sickness
00:06:23.92\00:06:25.80
and disease and they
did not connect the dots.
00:06:25.83\00:06:29.87
And also doing that time
the importance of fruits,
00:06:30.48\00:06:33.59
vegetables, whole
grains was simply ignored
00:06:34.28\00:06:38.52
life expectancy was
around 50 years of age
00:06:38.96\00:06:41.51
and smoking
tobacco use was literally
00:06:42.13\00:06:44.43
all over the
place even with pastors.
00:06:44.46\00:06:46.62
So with that in
mind they were a group of
00:06:47.05\00:06:49.87
believers from
different churches
00:06:49.90\00:06:52.04
whose started to come together
00:06:52.44\00:06:53.81
to begin to study God's words
00:06:53.84\00:06:56.16
and found that things
that they studied in God's
00:06:56.19\00:06:58.36
word was not
preached about in those
00:06:58.39\00:07:00.81
different churches.
Okay! One of the things that
00:07:00.84\00:07:03.29
they discovered
was the area of health
00:07:03.32\00:07:05.44
and health reform so
the church was established
00:07:05.54\00:07:08.90
officially in 1863 in this area
00:07:08.93\00:07:11.57
darkness as far
as health is concern
00:07:11.60\00:07:13.43
and begin to also
promote and study about how God
00:07:13.85\00:07:16.89
want to treat our
bodies at the temple
00:07:16.92\00:07:19.73
of the Living Ghost
so with that in mind
00:07:19.76\00:07:22.23
they were
instructed form the word of God
00:07:22.26\00:07:24.48
about Healthful
Living and Diet in Lifestyle.
00:07:24.51\00:07:27.17
Now with that in
mind honey I know
00:07:27.62\00:07:29.39
you have several
texts that are in the Bible
00:07:29.42\00:07:31.18
that is always
there, yes yes yes, and
00:07:31.21\00:07:33.94
it has been in the
Bible all along, but again God
00:07:33.97\00:07:36.63
just made it aware to
this group of believers
00:07:36.66\00:07:39.13
as they begin to study
God's word and God gave
00:07:39.62\00:07:41.85
them this
information in the unique way.
00:07:41.88\00:07:44.24
So let's talk about
the text that you have.
00:07:44.77\00:07:46.80
You know I love the
fact you know the Lord God
00:07:46.83\00:07:48.70
know exactly what
he was doing as far
00:07:48.73\00:07:50.10
directing us and
this ones is coming out
00:07:50.13\00:07:52.02
from Third John, okay,
Third John chapter 1 verse 2
00:07:52.05\00:07:55.59
and John is speaking
and talking about what God
00:07:56.15\00:07:59.30
has to say about our health,
00:07:59.33\00:08:00.95
okay, and it says, Beloved.
00:08:00.98\00:08:02.59
I wish above all things
00:08:04.09\00:08:06.11
that thou mayest
prosper and be in health, okay,
00:08:06.22\00:08:10.55
even as thy soul is prospereth.
00:08:10.58\00:08:12.63
You know, I think
about the scripture.
00:08:12.94\00:08:14.45
I think about the fact that
00:08:14.48\00:08:15.85
that it is a balance there.
00:08:15.95\00:08:17.63
You know, God is
saying to us that
00:08:18.00\00:08:19.69
I wish above all
things that you would prosper
00:08:20.03\00:08:22.15
and be in good health
as your soul is prospering
00:08:22.65\00:08:26.80
you know toward
the Lord the spiritual
00:08:26.89\00:08:29.53
God is saying I'm interest
in your health too okay.
00:08:29.56\00:08:32.22
So these two things
go together, the physical
00:08:32.25\00:08:34.54
and spiritual
and there is... there
00:08:35.07\00:08:37.39
and they begin to
see that from scripture
00:08:37.42\00:08:39.63
as well going that
time yeah there is another
00:08:39.66\00:08:41.67
text I like to quote also
it is First Corinthians 10
00:08:41.70\00:08:44.09
and verse 31 the bible says
00:08:44.68\00:08:46.41
whether
therefore you eat or drink
00:08:46.77\00:08:50.08
or whatever you
do, that takes care
00:08:51.36\00:08:53.74
of everything else do
all to the glory of God
00:08:53.77\00:08:57.42
and when they begin
to read the scripture
00:08:57.92\00:09:00.01
somewhat God wanted
to them to do as far
00:09:00.04\00:09:02.08
as treating the Body Temple
00:09:02.11\00:09:03.71
God took them back to
the first book of the Bible
00:09:04.10\00:09:07.51
Genesis where God gave
mankind his first diet.
00:09:07.54\00:09:11.73
Genesis 1:29
yes and Genesis 3:18
00:09:12.55\00:09:17.07
and in that was also a
plant based diet as well.
00:09:17.10\00:09:20.94
So it is very good
that God instructed
00:09:20.97\00:09:24.01
this body believers
from different churches
00:09:24.04\00:09:25.86
to come together
and talk about how God
00:09:25.89\00:09:28.02
want to help them
to treat their bodies.
00:09:28.05\00:09:30.07
I think we have a graphic there
as well and let's talk about
00:09:30.10\00:09:32.16
this graphic because
now the medical profession
00:09:32.19\00:09:35.29
and medical
Journalist and now advocating
00:09:35.32\00:09:37.54
a plant base diet
based on Genesis 1:29
00:09:38.03\00:09:40.62
and also Genesis 3:18.
So let's go to our graphic
00:09:41.11\00:09:43.69
at this time,
00:09:43.72\00:09:45.09
here it is the American Journal
00:09:45.53\00:09:46.90
of Clinical Nutrition
is says here this is the
00:09:46.93\00:09:48.94
Optimum diet "
there is convincing
00:09:48.97\00:09:53.01
evidence that vegetarians
00:09:53.40\00:09:55.86
have lower rates of
coronary heart disease,
00:09:55.89\00:09:59.71
hypertension,
diabetes, obesity and cancer.
00:10:00.06\00:10:06.40
" Now that is
very profound and again
00:10:06.93\00:10:10.10
if you look at God's
original diet Genesis 1:29
00:10:10.13\00:10:14.03
and Genesis 3:18 is also
a diet void of animal flesh.
00:10:14.06\00:10:19.52
Therefore with that in
mind because when we are taking
00:10:20.00\00:10:22.30
animal flesh
folks, animal flesh has
00:10:22.33\00:10:25.84
no potassium and a high sodium
00:10:25.87\00:10:28.32
content okay that
will raise up one's blood
00:10:28.35\00:10:30.80
pressure right, right.
00:10:30.83\00:10:32.20
Animal flesh also has a
lot of fat, cholesterol,
00:10:32.25\00:10:36.31
and saturated fat.
It will also increase
00:10:36.80\00:10:39.28
coronary artery disease
00:10:39.31\00:10:40.99
and also obesity
which leads to diabetes
00:10:41.39\00:10:44.31
was also has Carcinogens
which leads to cancer,
00:10:44.64\00:10:47.13
so you can understand why
that statement is profound
00:10:47.16\00:10:49.96
about those who take
in a plant based diet
00:10:49.99\00:10:52.71
or vegetarian diet
they have a low risk of
00:10:52.74\00:10:55.34
all those
diseases across the board.
00:10:55.71\00:10:58.13
Well. I though that
was really important
00:10:58.64\00:11:00.01
when you just got finished
talking about the fruits
00:11:00.04\00:11:01.54
and the
vegetables and whole grains
00:11:01.57\00:11:02.94
and everything
because we were coming back
00:11:02.97\00:11:04.76
from a trip and
we met some people
00:11:04.79\00:11:07.13
on airplane, and it was
around that January time
00:11:07.16\00:11:10.17
frame and they
were talking about
00:11:10.20\00:11:12.16
the Daniel Diet oh yes
and these were not Adventist
00:11:12.53\00:11:16.45
these were another
group of people that's right
00:11:16.48\00:11:18.55
because it's speaking
about that and they talked
00:11:18.58\00:11:20.76
about they were on a Daniel Diet
00:11:20.79\00:11:22.71
and now we were asking them
00:11:22.74\00:11:24.11
a lot of questions
about that and low and behold
00:11:24.14\00:11:25.81
we go home and we
go on the computer
00:11:25.84\00:11:27.64
and sure enough there
are congregations out there,
00:11:27.67\00:11:30.31
that is going on
the Daniel Diet, fruits,
00:11:30.34\00:11:33.38
vegetables, and
whole grains. Yeah,
00:11:33.41\00:11:35.51
and let's talk about
that because that Daniel Diet
00:11:35.54\00:11:37.54
is unique and again, so
it's not just Seventh-Day
00:11:37.57\00:11:40.66
Adventists it's
actually promoted by
00:11:40.69\00:11:43.14
a Baptist Pastor in Georgia,
00:11:43.17\00:11:45.50
Pastor Franklin I
believe any way the Daniel Diet
00:11:45.95\00:11:48.33
is based on Daniel chapter 1
00:11:48.36\00:11:50.13
and also Daniel chapter 10.
00:11:51.07\00:11:52.65
You just do a
Google search Daniel Diet
00:11:53.44\00:11:55.32
or sometimes is
called the Daniel's fast
00:11:55.35\00:11:57.40
and this is Baptist, Methodist,
00:11:57.96\00:12:00.02
Pentecostal a lot of
people now sweeping across
00:12:00.05\00:12:02.61
the country of ours
00:12:02.64\00:12:04.01
and incorporated the Daniel Diet
00:12:04.04\00:12:05.41
and this is basely a
diet of vegetables. The
00:12:05.76\00:12:09.05
word of God in
Daniel chapter 1 uses the
00:12:09.08\00:12:12.02
word Paul's this
means vegetables and they
00:12:12.27\00:12:15.05
do it for three
weeks Daniel's chapter 10
00:12:15.24\00:12:17.49
verse 2 and 3 it talks
about Daniel did it for
00:12:17.73\00:12:19.67
weeks or 21 days is
this Daniel Diet or Daniel
00:12:19.82\00:12:22.83
Fast. A lot of
churches are starting let's say
00:12:23.17\00:12:25.53
the first year or
sometimes they start and
00:12:25.68\00:12:28.59
then end up at
Easter, okay, and there is the
00:12:28.62\00:12:32.07
cleansing system and
they've gained a lot of
00:12:32.42\00:12:37.58
benefits from the
Daniel diet. So again a lot
00:12:37.61\00:12:38.98
of churches now go
and seeing a how God's
00:12:39.01\00:12:40.38
word has something
us say about healthful
00:12:40.41\00:12:41.78
living as well. Now
as the Seventh Adventist
00:12:41.81\00:12:43.89
Church God's
original diet in Genesis 1:29
00:12:44.22\00:12:49.54
takes in the Daniel Diet
00:12:49.82\00:12:53.32
plus the fruits and
vegetables and whole
00:12:53.86\00:12:55.72
grains as well. And
not just for three weeks
00:12:55.92\00:12:58.75
but we emphasize
this as a lifestyle and
00:12:58.85\00:13:01.78
because of that
there has been great
00:13:01.94\00:13:04.17
improvement as far
as the health status and
00:13:04.45\00:13:06.33
longevity as far as
God's original plant based
00:13:06.47\00:13:09.91
diet. Now again
some people saying oh
00:13:10.07\00:13:12.45
Vegetarian Diet I
have to have my meat! You
00:13:12.58\00:13:15.89
know and particularly
you know you live in
00:13:15.92\00:13:17.29
the south and you know
that's the most challenging
00:13:17.59\00:13:20.50
area when it comes
to health and lifestyle.
00:13:20.53\00:13:22.40
So but again when we
look God's word God's
00:13:22.68\00:13:25.58
word has something
say about healthful living
00:13:25.81\00:13:27.52
and with that in
mind those who followed
00:13:28.13\00:13:29.93
God's original diet
has a degree of better
00:13:30.11\00:13:32.98
health over all. Well
I think that thing it is
00:13:33.31\00:13:35.68
really important was
that so many people we
00:13:35.78\00:13:37.37
met actually said
that they were gonna to go
00:13:37.50\00:13:39.43
past that time at
fasting time and they were
00:13:39.76\00:13:41.44
gonna actually
stay on it because they
00:13:41.61\00:13:43.10
actually begin to feel
better that's true. Well
00:13:43.13\00:13:45.21
we know that there
is a statement it says
00:13:45.35\00:13:46.74
where God directs he
also protects. That's
00:13:46.84\00:13:49.86
right absolutely,
absolutely but what
00:13:49.89\00:13:51.96
about clinical studies?
What does the clinical studies
00:13:52.21\00:13:53.82
have to say about
this type of diet as well.
00:13:53.85\00:13:56.50
There has been a lot of
clinical studies done on
00:13:56.83\00:13:59.23
Seventh Day Adventist
because of the longevity
00:13:59.70\00:14:01.88
and health status that
we have one of the things
00:14:02.23\00:14:04.31
that we do would that
I do as a research for
00:14:04.43\00:14:06.83
Abundant Living
program a lot of researchers do
00:14:06.93\00:14:08.63
this as well. there is
a website call Pubmed okay
00:14:08.74\00:14:14.07
Pubmed it stands for
Published Medical Journals
00:14:14.64\00:14:19.78
go there click and
then you do research on
00:14:20.41\00:14:22.87
whatever topic and
this Pubmed would give you a
00:14:23.04\00:14:25.66
whole lot of
studies done on many medical
00:14:25.99\00:14:28.80
journals around the
world and so you just type in
00:14:28.97\00:14:32.53
Seventh Day Adventist
okay it comes over 700
00:14:33.44\00:14:38.04
studies or articles done
on this church because of
00:14:38.63\00:14:41.67
our status of healthful
living, but the first study that
00:14:41.70\00:14:45.21
was done, major
study was done back in 1960
00:14:45.46\00:14:48.32
from 1960 to 1965 it was
called Adventist Mortality
00:14:48.91\00:14:53.28
Study okay and it talks
about how Adventist live
00:14:53.31\00:14:56.88
longer as far as
cancer is concerned and Time
00:14:57.16\00:15:00.15
magazine in 1966
October 28th you can go ahead
00:15:00.34\00:15:06.93
and do an achieve on
this and the title of
00:15:07.03\00:15:09.76
that article is also
that title of today's program
00:15:09.91\00:15:12.54
entitled Adventist
Advantage. So that's how
00:15:12.77\00:15:16.75
we got the title Time
magazine okay October 28th
00:15:16.96\00:15:19.53
1966 and then also fast
forward to there, there is
00:15:19.63\00:15:23.83
another study done
the Adventist study one,
00:15:24.03\00:15:26.89
which is over about
34,000 individuals seventh
00:15:27.67\00:15:31.73
day Adventist and a health
study and that it takes as
00:15:31.77\00:15:35.40
far as some specific
things that the body believers
00:15:35.43\00:15:38.63
would doing to forth
in lifestyle concerned it
00:15:38.72\00:15:40.72
diet and walking
exercise and water and that kind
00:15:41.05\00:15:43.44
of thing and then
there is another study
00:15:43.47\00:15:45.33
Adventist study number
Two which we are a part of and
00:15:45.51\00:15:48.95
at today that's now over
a 100,000 people they are
00:15:49.09\00:15:53.28
looking for above
125,000 which is the largest
00:15:53.42\00:15:56.18
study done in United
States. Yes, so a lot of studies
00:15:56.94\00:15:58.63
have been done on
Seventh Day Adventist's.
00:15:58.89\00:16:00.66
I think what you were
reading when we started on this
00:16:00.95\00:16:02.40
tease talks about
that because the National
00:16:02.62\00:16:05.15
Geographic and let's
hold that book up because in
00:16:05.39\00:16:08.52
the National
Geographic went on a search and
00:16:08.97\00:16:11.02
world wide search yes
to determine the longest
00:16:11.37\00:16:14.16
living people on
Planet Earth and they have
00:16:14.34\00:16:17.96
mentioned three groups
of people but one of those
00:16:18.12\00:16:19.78
groups of people were
the Seventh Day Adventist
00:16:19.96\00:16:21.34
church and that's
what the, the National
00:16:21.48\00:16:24.46
Geographic I think
that's the November Issue
00:16:24.62\00:16:27.34
2005 yes and that's
what you reading there and it
00:16:27.72\00:16:30.72
talked about the Seventh
Day Adventist's along with
00:16:31.20\00:16:33.36
two of the groups of
people who live long as
00:16:33.66\00:16:35.42
well. Well it says
today most Adventist actually
00:16:35.57\00:16:39.05
following and they are
prescribing this type of
00:16:39.28\00:16:40.83
lifestyles. So,
that's really good yes I mean
00:16:40.99\00:16:43.17
it's a good article
very timely, very timely of
00:16:43.29\00:16:46.60
course you know and
what can I say accept we're
00:16:46.63\00:16:51.00
gonna to keep this copy
okay. Now honey, and it talks
00:16:51.03\00:16:54.29
about those who are centurions
100 years old or older.
00:16:54.63\00:16:57.79
Now honey, we know
a person, personally
00:16:57.97\00:17:02.31
who is 100 or over
100 let's talk about that.
00:17:03.25\00:17:07.46
But don't we have a
graphic for this one here
00:17:08.09\00:17:10.59
one and talked about
the clinical studies.
00:17:10.62\00:17:12.61
Well let's talk
about the clinical studies,
00:17:13.41\00:17:14.78
let's go with that okay
I'm glad you told me that.
00:17:14.81\00:17:16.38
The Use, News and
World Report, here it is
00:17:16.58\00:17:18.75
living longer. It says
this "Seventh-Day Adventists
00:17:18.89\00:17:22.29
have an average life
expectancy of 89, about a
00:17:22.84\00:17:28.80
decade longer than
the average American." So
00:17:29.06\00:17:33.25
U.S. News & World
report and that just came out
00:17:33.45\00:17:35.41
March 2nd 2009... Now, I forgot
00:17:36.43\00:17:40.14
about that study...
about that 89 well you
00:17:40.22\00:17:41.59
know the graphic
actually puts us in line
00:17:41.62\00:17:43.74
with the individual
we're gonna to talk about
00:17:43.91\00:17:45.77
that's right because
that's about 10 years more
00:17:45.99\00:17:47.67
than yes, yes, yes
where. Now we talked about
00:17:47.70\00:17:49.71
individual that we know.
I know a woman she mows her
00:17:49.92\00:17:53.84
grass and she chops
her own wood, she drives
00:17:54.18\00:17:57.96
race sports car a
red sports car, she does
00:17:58.29\00:18:00.54
exercise in her garage
she pumps iron, oh there
00:18:00.86\00:18:05.29
she is, there she is,
there she is. That is my
00:18:05.32\00:18:07.29
grandmother our
grand mother we call her
00:18:07.32\00:18:09.79
affectionately Mother
Dear and at a time of this
00:18:10.28\00:18:13.54
taping she is a 102,
102-years-old. Now when
00:18:13.86\00:18:17.14
she took out picture
that was her 100 birthday yes
00:18:17.32\00:18:20.18
alright. Yes, yes,
yes and she takes zero
00:18:20.66\00:18:23.07
medication and again
she is plant based, she
00:18:23.49\00:18:27.29
follow God's dietary
guidelines and I told her
00:18:27.50\00:18:31.33
now years ago I was
when I was 49 she was 99
00:18:31.54\00:18:36.36
I said Mother Dear now
let's make a deal I said
00:18:36.73\00:18:40.13
I reach 50 you promise
me you reach 100 she says
00:18:40.65\00:18:43.69
the bet is on so of
course how these 50 first
00:18:44.18\00:18:46.31
I say okay I did my
job and three months later
00:18:46.39\00:18:48.26
she reached to 100.
So, but she is joy to be
00:18:48.49\00:18:50.71
with and I asked
her knowing that I'll be
00:18:51.03\00:18:53.30
talking about her on a
program I said Mother Dear
00:18:53.42\00:18:55.38
last week I said what
it shows secret of living
00:18:55.68\00:18:58.01
over a 100, she said I
really don't have a secret.
00:18:58.25\00:19:00.31
I said what do you
attest being this age and being
00:19:00.75\00:19:04.36
in the quality of
health that you are. She says
00:19:04.68\00:19:06.94
I keep my head in a
book, she studies all the
00:19:07.42\00:19:11.91
time lot more things
about that, but yes, yes, yes,
00:19:12.21\00:19:14.96
yes she is enjoyed to
be with and my Mother who
00:19:14.99\00:19:17.38
is 78 we play tennis
together I mean and we
00:19:17.41\00:19:20.56
played tennis so but
again looking at God's
00:19:20.81\00:19:23.90
word the word of God
has something to say about
00:19:24.09\00:19:27.09
healthful living and we
just so grateful that we
00:19:27.23\00:19:29.40
want to share the
information for those who
00:19:29.51\00:19:31.09
are listening
today. One of Mother's
00:19:31.13\00:19:33.04
favorite books of
course she says is the word of
00:19:33.19\00:19:35.08
God the Bible she
reads that continuously and
00:19:35.14\00:19:38.30
she has a wonderful
sense of humor always got
00:19:38.44\00:19:41.35
a wonderful attitude
going on and all these
00:19:41.38\00:19:43.93
things have a lot to
do with the longevity that
00:19:44.04\00:19:46.44
she is living. We all
