I've got in my hand here
a bottle of glass cleaner,
00:00:27.82\00:00:32.43
something that people
use to wash their windows,
00:00:32.46\00:00:35.16
their mirrors, their
wind- shields, and other
00:00:35.20\00:00:37.27
glass surfaces and when I turn
it over and look at the bottom,
00:00:37.30\00:00:42.37
here it says CAUTION,
Contents Under Pressure.
00:00:42.40\00:00:46.68
And we know that
pressure is there because we can
00:00:46.71\00:00:49.51
take the lid off and
push the button and shhh!
00:00:49.54\00:00:51.65
the cleaner comes out.
00:00:51.68\00:00:54.35
Welcome to Body Battles
part 6 and our title is called
00:00:54.38\00:00:59.75
"Contents Under Pressure."
00:00:59.79\00:01:01.32
Reading that just
reminds me of the pressure that
00:01:01.36\00:01:05.29
so many of us are
under on the inside.
00:01:05.33\00:01:08.46
Blood pressure, and stress
and strain, so we're going to
00:01:08.50\00:01:13.03
talk about that and how
to relieve that pressure.
00:01:13.07\00:01:16.84
My guest again is Jack
McIntosh, he's been with me
00:01:16.87\00:01:20.88
for five programs and this is
number six, we've got two more
00:01:20.91\00:01:23.28
to go and we're talking all
about health and what we can do
00:01:23.31\00:01:28.15
to help our bodies in the midst
of the war that we're in with
00:01:28.18\00:01:32.25
destructive forces
and destructive habits
00:01:32.29\00:01:35.42
that are trying to bring
us down to an early grave.
00:01:35.46\00:01:39.46
So Jack, thank you again
for coming up from Oregon
00:01:39.49\00:01:43.47
with your wife Mary being
up here for a few days with us
00:01:43.50\00:01:46.57
in the beautiful
forest of Priest River, ID.
00:01:46.60\00:01:49.67
Yes indeed. Yes, it's
a blessing to have you
00:01:49.70\00:01:52.51
and as we get started,
I'd like to read a text.
00:01:52.54\00:01:54.18
I always like to start a
program with a Bible verse
00:01:54.21\00:01:58.08
and this is Psalm 23,
one of my favorite Psalms.
00:01:58.11\00:02:01.92
David wrote and said the Lord
is my shepherd, I shall not want
00:02:01.95\00:02:06.96
He makes me to lie
down in green pastures,
00:02:06.99\00:02:11.26
He leads me beside the still
waters, or the quiet waters,
00:02:11.29\00:02:16.36
He restores my soul,
He leads me in the paths
00:02:16.40\00:02:21.00
of righteousness
for His name sake.
00:02:21.04\00:02:23.71
I can't tell you how many
times I lay in bed at night,
00:02:23.74\00:02:27.94
If I'm awake, I will just go
through this Psalm in my mind
00:02:27.98\00:02:32.81
because it's just so calming.
It just, it relieves pressure
00:02:32.85\00:02:37.55
thinking about lying
down in green pastures and the
00:02:37.59\00:02:43.56
still waters and
here's one more verse.
00:02:43.59\00:02:45.19
I like this one too, Psalm 37:7.
00:02:45.23\00:02:48.36
Rest in the Lord and
wait patiently for Him.
00:02:48.40\00:02:53.27
God wants us to be at rest,
He wants us to be at peace,
00:02:53.30\00:02:56.71
He doesn't want us to be
like this glass cleaner can.
00:02:56.74\00:03:00.84
Contents Under Pressure. Yeah.
00:03:00.88\00:03:02.21
Contents under pressure.
00:03:02.24\00:03:03.85
So talk to us about pressure,
blood pressure and the battle
00:03:03.88\00:03:08.38
and how people can
bring down those numbers.
00:03:08.42\00:03:12.85
Yes, alright, so, we are
going to talk about hypertension
00:03:12.89\00:03:16.26
today. Hyper meaning too
much, tension, of course, that's
00:03:16.29\00:03:21.10
the pressure in the interior
lines, the vascular system.
00:03:21.13\00:03:25.70
So, we're going to
talk to you about that.
00:03:25.73\00:03:28.17
What is hypertension?
Well most often in America
00:03:28.20\00:03:34.31
hypertension is caused by
the vascular system becoming
00:03:34.34\00:03:42.08
gradually occluded or blocked
by substances on the inside
00:03:42.12\00:03:49.42
lining of the
artery and as it becomes...
00:03:49.46\00:03:52.83
As the artery narrows
and narrows and narrows,
00:03:52.86\00:03:56.16
the body compensates for
that narrowing because it
00:03:56.20\00:04:02.04
wants to deliver nutrients
and oxygen in the proper
00:04:02.07\00:04:06.27
proportions...To all the cells.
To all the cells that need it
00:04:06.31\00:04:09.84
and so in order to
compensate for the narrowing,
00:04:09.88\00:04:13.52
now you are getting less
of those nutrients and oxygen.
00:04:13.55\00:04:16.02
Right! So the body compensates
by increasing the pressure
00:04:16.05\00:04:20.42
in the line, so to speak,
the artery...Like the plumbing,
00:04:20.46\00:04:23.96
like the body's plumbing...
to bring all the blood to all
00:04:23.99\00:04:26.96
the cells and when they
get clogged, they just start
00:04:27.00\00:04:30.53
narrowing and then the
heart has to pump harder.
00:04:30.57\00:04:32.67
To compensate for the
narrowing and so we get
00:04:32.70\00:04:37.11
high blood pressure. Now
the problem of course with
00:04:37.14\00:04:39.77
high blood pressure is that
it can result in a heart attack
00:04:39.81\00:04:43.35
and it can result in a stroke.
00:04:43.38\00:04:44.75
So for that reason, we want
to be able to properly manage
00:04:44.78\00:04:50.99
hypertension and reduce
it. Now in order for us to
00:04:51.02\00:04:56.83
get to the root of the problem
we really have to get to the
00:04:56.86\00:05:00.20
reason why the arteries
are being blocked, right,
00:05:00.23\00:05:03.60
and very often that is a problem
of the diet where we're eating
00:05:03.63\00:05:07.50
lots of animal
products, oxidized cholesterol,
00:05:07.54\00:05:11.77
damaging the arteries and
of course laying down for that
00:05:11.81\00:05:19.01
injury, compensating for the
injury laying down a hard cover
00:05:19.05\00:05:23.39
over that injury and the artery
gradually getting smaller.
00:05:23.42\00:05:28.62
So the arteries get
damaged like in the last program
00:05:28.66\00:05:31.19
we talked about the sugar...
Too much sugar attached to the
00:05:31.23\00:05:34.46
hemoglobin, it somehow damages
the arteries and if there is
00:05:34.50\00:05:38.83
then the body plugs up the
holes with plaque, right? Yes!
00:05:38.87\00:05:44.71
Now the body has a
natural substance that controls
00:05:44.74\00:05:53.52
the opening of the arteries...
Arteries are not just
00:05:53.55\00:05:58.49
pipes, they have muscles
around them that can reduce the
00:05:58.52\00:06:04.09
opening, or it can
dilate and enlarge the opening.
00:06:04.13\00:06:09.56
And the substance that our
creator has provided in the body
00:06:09.60\00:06:15.50
to dilate the arteries and open
them up, because when you open
00:06:15.54\00:06:19.67
the artery, what happens
to the pressure in the line?
00:06:19.71\00:06:22.31
The pressure goes down and
the heart doesn't have to pump
00:06:22.34\00:06:24.61
as hard. Right? When
we reduce the opening,
00:06:24.65\00:06:31.72
the pressure goes up.
00:06:31.75\00:06:33.69
It turns out that there is a
substance that our creator has
00:06:33.72\00:06:37.56
placed in the human body called
nitric oxide and nitric oxide
00:06:37.59\00:06:42.33
is an arterial dilator,
it dilates and opens up the
00:06:42.36\00:06:46.13
arteries, blood
pressure comes down.
00:06:46.17\00:06:49.37
Sometimes because of our dietary
habits or lack of physical
00:06:49.40\00:06:54.71
activity, the sweet
drinks that we are drinking,
00:06:54.74\00:06:57.68
and just all those lifestyle
habits were not producing
00:06:57.71\00:07:02.58
enough nitric oxide to dilate
those arteries and open them up.
00:07:02.62\00:07:06.86
So can I just go to
Walmart or to Ralph's and buy a
00:07:06.89\00:07:10.86
bottle of nitric oxide and
drink it and it will open up my
00:07:10.89\00:07:14.83
blood vessels and bring
my blood pressure down...
00:07:14.86\00:07:17.70
Not quite. Solve
my heart problems.
00:07:17.73\00:07:20.10
Not so much.
00:07:20.14\00:07:21.47
So what we have to do
is stimulate nitric oxide
00:07:21.50\00:07:25.94
in the way the creator intended
for us to stimulate nitric
00:07:25.97\00:07:30.71
oxide. One of the most powerful
stimulators of nitric oxide
00:07:30.75\00:07:36.28
is you
guessed...Physical activity.
00:07:36.32\00:07:39.15
I knew that was coming. I
knew it, so we got to keep...
00:07:39.19\00:07:44.33
So when the body moves, like we
talked about in the last program
00:07:44.36\00:07:47.26
that only creates more
insulin receptors right,
00:07:47.30\00:07:50.77
where the insulin can get
the blood sugar into the cells
00:07:50.80\00:07:54.30
quicker because now the muscles
need it but the cells also
00:07:54.34\00:07:58.54
create nitric
oxide as well. Yeah.
00:07:58.57\00:08:01.18
I'll tell you a little story,
I was at a nurse's symposium
00:08:01.21\00:08:08.88
in Chicago and the
company that I was with,
00:08:08.92\00:08:14.92
we have software for
Managing Wellness programs
00:08:14.96\00:08:18.99
and so we were there
to talk about our software
00:08:19.03\00:08:22.96
and various physicians, they
have lectures and the nurses
00:08:23.00\00:08:27.34
go to these lectures and they
learn all about the new science.
00:08:27.37\00:08:30.04
Well, my friend Bob and I
were going by one of those
00:08:30.07\00:08:34.21
lecture halls, we looked
in and there was a physician
00:08:34.24\00:08:39.51
from Stanford University,
Dr. Cook who was lecturing
00:08:39.55\00:08:45.32
and one of the things he was
talking about was nitric oxide
00:08:45.35\00:08:49.32
and he was talking about how...
he had a slide on the screen
00:08:49.36\00:08:54.46
where it showed the
cells, the endothelium cells.
00:08:54.50\00:08:59.13
The lining of the artery,
they produce the nitric oxide
00:08:59.17\00:09:03.20
the very thin lining of
the artery. And he was showing
00:09:03.24\00:09:07.61
the artery, the endothelium
of an inactive person
00:09:07.64\00:09:12.15
and you could see the cells
and they were all jumbled up
00:09:12.18\00:09:15.45
and disarranged and not
very orderly if you will.
00:09:15.48\00:09:21.62
And then they put that same
person on an exercise program
00:09:21.66\00:09:26.26
and now when you looked
at the slide on the right
00:09:26.29\00:09:30.13
the picture on the right showed
the cells and very different.
00:09:30.17\00:09:34.07
They're all lined up
and producing nitric oxide.
00:09:34.10\00:09:37.87
And dilating the artery and
of course the blood pressure
00:09:37.91\00:09:42.81
comes down, so that to me was
a very strong visual impression
00:09:42.84\00:09:47.42
that physical activity
causes those endothelial cells
00:09:47.45\00:09:52.19
to line up, yes sir, and they
start producing nitric oxide.
00:09:52.22\00:09:56.16
It impresses me that we need
to line up as we talked about
00:09:56.19\00:10:00.60
in this series with our Creators
plan. That's why we're reading
00:10:00.63\00:10:03.87
the Bible, we went back
to Genesis, we talked about
00:10:04.17\00:10:06.43
how God made us to develop...
to reveal His character.
00:10:06.47\00:10:09.90
How He put man in the garden,
He gave him good healthy food
00:10:09.94\00:10:13.71
from the soil, the Eden Diet,
he said in the sweat of your
00:10:13.74\00:10:17.05
face you will exercise to help
to balance out your life within
00:10:17.08\00:10:21.95
the midst of sin now that
sin has come in so lining up
00:10:21.98\00:10:26.02
with the creator and with the
plan that's what will help us
00:10:26.05\00:10:31.86
with the battles of the body.
00:10:31.89\00:10:33.66
Absolutely. Right. Absolutely.
So we have to cooperate with
00:10:33.70\00:10:38.23
our creator and becoming
physically active to produce
00:10:38.27\00:10:43.04
that nitric oxide that's
going to dilate and open those
00:10:43.07\00:10:46.07
arteries and bring
down that blood pressure.
00:10:46.11\00:10:48.04
Now, let's talk about
how nitric oxide is produced
00:10:48.08\00:10:52.21
because it's not just exercise
something else has to be in the
00:10:52.25\00:10:57.35
mix and you guessed it,
it's the dietary. Alright, okay.
00:10:57.39\00:11:02.06
It will come right
back to the Eden Diet.
00:11:02.09\00:11:04.43
Now remember when the
Lord said to Adam and gave him
00:11:04.46\00:11:07.93
his diet in the beginning
and he said...talked about
00:11:07.96\00:11:11.00
seed-bearing plants so
you don't eat seeds, do you?
00:11:11.03\00:11:15.94
I do, I sprout them.
Laughter. I sprout my seeds,
00:11:15.97\00:11:18.77
I'm a big sprouter, the whole
core is teaching how to sprout.
00:11:18.81\00:11:22.44
Alright. It's called
Sprouting with Steve,
00:11:22.48\00:11:24.25
sproutingwithsteve.com. Alright
well, that's one kind of seed,
00:11:24.28\00:11:27.48
but there are thousands of
00:11:27.52\00:11:29.95
varieties of seeds in the world
that our creator has given us
00:11:29.98\00:11:34.89
and it just so happens that
some of those seeds we called
00:11:34.92\00:11:39.46
legumes. Because Black
Beans and Garbanzo's and Lentils
00:11:39.49\00:11:45.00
and all of those...I had
just sprouted legumes today.
00:11:45.03\00:11:47.94
Lentils, I grew my Lentils
in two days and put them on my
00:11:47.97\00:11:50.61
salad. Yeah as you spread seeds.
So when we eat those seeds,
00:11:50.64\00:11:55.38
we get some raw materials and
it just so happens that one of
00:11:55.41\00:12:00.95
the raw materials that you need
absolutely need to make nitric
00:12:00.98\00:12:05.39
oxide, to dilate your
arteries and bring down your
00:12:05.42\00:12:07.72
blood pressure. One of those
raw materials that you need
00:12:07.76\00:12:11.56
is something you call
L- Arginine, L-Arginine is
00:12:11.59\00:12:16.46
abundant in Lentils, and
Garbanzo's and Pinto beans
00:12:16.50\00:12:25.34
and all those seeds if you will
that it talks about in Genesis
00:12:25.37\00:12:30.55
those legumes are abundant...So
if you are not getting enough
00:12:30.58\00:12:36.69
and almost non-existent
in the animal-based diet.
00:12:36.72\00:12:43.02
Wo if you are eating a lot
of meat and fish and chicken
00:12:43.06\00:12:48.20
and all of that and you
are not getting those legumes
00:12:48.23\00:12:51.77
you don't have the raw materials
to make sufficient quantities
00:12:51.80\00:12:57.07
of nitric oxide...
00:12:57.11\00:12:58.44
To dilate your blood
vessels and to bring down your
00:12:58.47\00:13:04.41
blood pressure. So you've
got to have the raw materials
00:13:04.45\00:13:07.68
L- Arginine is the protein,
the raw material that you need
00:13:07.72\00:13:12.42
to make nitric oxide, just
like when you want to make water
00:13:12.45\00:13:18.19
and you have only hydrogen,
are you going to make water?
00:13:18.23\00:13:20.96
No, you have to have
oxygen and the same way the body
00:13:21.00\00:13:25.23
needs to have L-Arginine to make
nitric oxide, if you don't have
00:13:25.27\00:13:28.74
it, you're not going to
make nitric oxide. Is L Arginine
00:13:28.77\00:13:30.84
in like sunflower seeds? Yes.
Chia seeds. All those seeds.
00:13:30.87\00:13:35.04
And just a whole lot of
seeds people, you can...
00:13:35.08\00:13:37.81
Like I know how to grill
lentils, I take lentils, you can
00:13:37.85\00:13:41.52
buy lentils at the market for
a dollar and you can put them
00:13:41.55\00:13:44.49
in a jar and you can
fill the jar up with water
00:13:44.52\00:13:48.52
and soak the seeds for
four or five hours and then
00:13:48.56\00:13:53.06
pour the water out and
the lentils will have doubled
00:13:53.09\00:13:56.36
in size because now they
are becoming active and then
00:13:56.40\00:13:57.73
the next couple of days you just
put some water in and rinse it.
00:13:57.77\00:14:02.27
you just rinse them
twice a day and within two days
00:14:02.30\00:14:04.91
will grow up to the top of
the jar and you'll have lentil
00:14:04.94\00:14:09.24
sprouts. Which I
imagine they even more L...
00:14:09.28\00:14:13.05
what's it called? L-Arginine,
L- Arginine so and then you
00:14:13.08\00:14:16.65
just put the sprouts on the
salad or you cook the lentils
00:14:16.69\00:14:18.95
or you eat other seeds...
00:14:18.99\00:14:20.66
Yeah. And so
that's the magic key.
00:14:20.69\00:14:23.93
Sure. To lowering the blood-
pressure. Sure that's the raw
00:14:23.96\00:14:25.79
material, yes,
that's the raw material.
00:14:25.83\00:14:27.73
So the combination of physical
activity and the raw material,
00:14:27.76\00:14:32.50
one thing again potentiates
the other makes it more powerful
00:14:32.53\00:14:37.11
and the result is that
you have now raw material
00:14:37.14\00:14:41.84
and physical activity
that's helping to produce the
00:14:41.88\00:14:45.95
nitric oxide to bring
down the blood pressure.
00:14:45.98\00:14:49.48
So it seems a little bit like
with diabetes and a diabesity
00:14:49.52\00:14:54.46
like you mentioned
when the blood sugar goes up
00:14:54.49\00:14:56.32
because we're not exercising
enough and a lot of times
00:14:56.36\00:14:59.33
people just turn to medication
to try to bring it down
00:14:59.36\00:15:03.26
but it's not really
dealing with the cause.
00:15:03.30\00:15:04.83
That's not dealing
with the root issue.
00:15:04.87\00:15:06.84
The same thing is true
with high-blood-pressure too
00:15:06.87\00:15:09.87
in many cases or most cases,
maybe not be in every case,
00:15:09.90\00:15:13.54
but in most cases the medication
is not, it's just dealing with
00:15:13.58\00:15:18.85
they symptom, right, as
where if we start dealing with
00:15:18.88\00:15:21.48
the roots and if we start
exercising more and eating
00:15:21.52\00:15:23.99
more whole natural foods
especially the seeds then
00:15:24.02\00:15:27.19
we can bring down that
blood pressure without the
00:15:27.22\00:15:31.06
medication. Now we need
to cover one other thing here
00:15:31.09\00:15:34.66
and that is there is something
out there that will actually
00:15:34.70\00:15:41.10
shut down your nitric oxide
production even if you have
00:15:41.14\00:15:45.07
the L-Arginine and you
are somewhat physically active
00:15:45.11\00:15:49.64
there is something that will
actually depress nitric oxide
00:15:49.68\00:15:54.38
production. And
what do you think it is?
00:15:54.42\00:15:57.42
Take a guess, a
wild guess. Sugar?
00:15:57.45\00:16:00.52
Laughter? You're on
it. What kind of sugar?
00:16:00.56\00:16:04.26
High fructose corn syrup.
You've got it. Am I right?
00:16:04.29\00:16:08.13
You are right, you got it.
It's high fructose corn syrup.
00:16:08.16\00:16:11.73
Here's what happens when
we drink those sweet drinks
00:16:11.77\00:16:15.04
that are so high in
high fructose corn syrup.
00:16:15.07\00:16:19.84
The high fructose corn
syrup produces something called
00:16:19.87\00:16:24.51
uric acid and uric
acid depresses nitric oxide
00:16:24.55\00:16:29.75
production. So one of
the drivers of hypertension
00:16:29.78\00:16:33.15
in America are those sweet
drinks, those high fructose
00:16:33.19\00:16:37.19
corn syrup drinks, your blood
- pressure will go up over time
00:16:37.23\00:16:40.73
if you're drinking that and
shutting down your nitric oxide
00:16:40.76\00:16:44.60
production to
dilate your arteries.
00:16:44.63\00:16:46.57
This is a huge problem in
America and this is one of the
00:16:46.60\00:16:50.84
reasons why 50+ million
people have hypertension,
00:16:50.87\00:16:54.94
high blood-pressure
because they are depressing
00:16:54.98\00:16:59.68
their nitric oxide production
through this uric acid
00:16:59.71\00:17:03.28
lever if you will and the
result is the blood-pressure
00:17:03.32\00:17:07.82
is rising. It turns out
also, that that high fructose
00:17:07.86\00:17:12.69
corn syrup not only depresses
your nitric oxide but it causes
00:17:12.73\00:17:16.77
a very dangerous fraction
of LDL cholesterol called
00:17:16.80\00:17:24.11
LDL B, a very small dense LDL
cholesterol, bad cholesterol.
00:17:24.14\00:17:30.88
That dense cholesterol
can get under the endothelium
00:17:30.91\00:17:34.45
into the artery and
damage the arteries.
00:17:34.48\00:17:37.35
It turns out high
fructose corn syrup stimulates
00:17:37.39\00:17:41.46
that LDL B
production in the bloodstream.
00:17:41.49\00:17:47.00
So, it not only drives hyper-
tension, it drives arterial
00:17:47.03\00:17:50.77
disease, fructose in the diet.
Am I wrong, I think I've heard
00:17:50.80\00:17:58.34
that a high meat diet is
also going to create...Oh yeah,
00:17:58.37\00:18:01.64
it has that LDL B...Uric
acid, is that what it is?
00:18:01.68\00:18:05.21
Well, the LDL B cholesterol
is the dangerous one.
00:18:05.25\00:18:08.25
You have two kinds of LDL,
there's the larger one called
00:18:08.28\00:18:10.85
A, it's kind of fluffy
and relatively harmless,
00:18:10.89\00:18:13.89
it doesn't do any real
damage but that dense B fraction
00:18:13.92\00:18:19.43
of LDL cholesterol is the
one that can get under your
00:18:19.46\00:18:23.87
endothelium, the lining of
the artery, and go to the inside
00:18:23.90\00:18:27.04
and do damage. So that is
the one that is increased by
00:18:27.07\00:18:32.41
high fructose corn syrup.
00:18:32.44\00:18:33.78
So we have to be careful
that we are not depressing
00:18:33.81\00:18:38.25
our nitric oxide production
and we're not driving heart
00:18:38.28\00:18:42.42
disease by drinking those
sweet drinks with high fructose
00:18:42.45\00:18:45.62
corn syrup. And you know a
little bit of history might
00:18:45.65\00:18:48.19
be appropriate here. In
1982 the government basically
00:18:48.22\00:18:52.33
told us, cut the fat in the
diet, so Americans cut the fat.
00:18:52.36\00:18:55.76
But what they did to compensate
was they started drinking
00:18:55.80\00:18:59.97
more sweet drinks. Sugar
went up in the diet dramatically
00:19:00.00\00:19:04.37
and so we started adding
it to everything from barbeque
00:19:04.41\00:19:10.38
sauce to Gatorade and so
the sugar consumption went
00:19:10.41\00:19:14.12
right through the roof.
00:19:14.15\00:19:15.62
And so that super consumption,
you know we supersize
00:19:15.65\00:19:22.69
everything today. When
Coca Cola first came out
00:19:22.72\00:19:28.50
on the market, it was a
small something like what?
00:19:28.53\00:19:31.60
Eleven ounces or something
like that or I think it may have
00:19:31.63\00:19:35.30
been even less than that
and now it's these big 64 Oz
00:19:35.34\00:19:39.24
things out there
that people are drinking.
00:19:39.27\00:19:41.44
and creating this
trouble in the human body so...
00:19:41.48\00:19:45.95
And those drinks are
addicting aren't they?
00:19:45.98\00:19:48.52
Yes, they are,
they're addicting.
00:19:48.55\00:19:50.09
Don't you...I think that
the companies that make them
00:19:50.12\00:19:52.59
they know that. Well,
I'll tell you what they do,
00:19:52.62\00:19:56.29
in the colas especially,
they... Now this is interesting
00:19:56.32\00:20:02.16
they put salt in the
cola. Now why would you put salt
00:20:02.23\00:20:06.40
in a cola drink? To make
you more thirsty to drink cola.
00:20:06.43\00:20:10.61
Uh ha. You got it.
00:20:10.64\00:20:12.54
So you drink that whatever
it is coke, Pepsi, whatever
00:20:12.57\00:20:17.81
the brand is and instead of
drinking water but an hour later
00:20:17.85\00:20:24.02
that sugar, not sugar.
That salt makes you thirsty
00:20:24.05\00:20:27.66
and so what
happens? You want another one
00:20:27.69\00:20:29.82
and you drink another one.
And that's what's happening
00:20:29.86\00:20:32.59
now you're going down and
down over and over and over
00:20:32.63\00:20:36.13
until you really
start to impact the body.
00:20:36.16\00:20:38.53
Shut down the nitric oxide or
severely limit your nitric oxide
00:20:38.57\00:20:44.94
production driving that
LDL B cholesterol that produces
00:20:44.97\00:20:49.21
heart disease and all that
and we're in for real trouble
00:20:49.24\00:20:53.78
later on. Yeah, you know
the Bible also talks about
00:20:53.82\00:20:56.58
it talks about many things but
it tells us that we're in a...
00:20:56.62\00:21:00.39
It looks at the big
picture and says we are in a...
00:21:00.42\00:21:01.89
we're in a battle, we're in a
conflict between good and evil.
00:21:01.92\00:21:05.59
And there are forces that
are working behind the scenes
00:21:05.63\00:21:09.60
to promote a diet and drinks
and practices that are harmful
00:21:09.63\00:21:18.41
to our bodies. We're not lining
up with the Creator's plan
00:21:18.54\00:21:23.95
there are forces that
are trying to derail us,
00:21:23.98\00:21:26.38
to get us off track so that
we slowly destroy ourselves.
00:21:26.41\00:21:31.59
And God is trying to
bring us back like Psalm 23 says
00:21:31.62\00:21:37.46
which I read at the
beginning where David said.
00:21:37.49\00:21:40.80
So He's, God's power is
restorative, His word is
00:21:50.51\00:21:55.04
restorative when we pray
and we ask for His presence and
00:21:55.08\00:21:59.31
His help, He works to
restore us and then it says.
00:21:59.35\00:22:02.38
"He leads me in the paths of
righteousness for His namesake.
00:22:02.42\00:22:05.75
He leads us on the path to do
what is right and the benefits
00:22:05.79\00:22:10.53
of right-doing, we reap
those benefits in our bodies.
00:22:10.56\00:22:15.16
And we overcome these
problems that are there.
00:22:15.20\00:22:18.20
You know the prophet,
Isaiah said why do spend money
00:22:18.23\00:22:20.70
for that which is not
bread? Eat that which is good.
00:22:20.74\00:22:23.64
We need to do that, pay
attention to that advice,
00:22:23.67\00:22:28.21
eat that which is good.
00:22:28.24\00:22:29.58
In Romans 12 it says "do
not be overcome by evil."
00:22:29.61\00:22:38.05
We look at the dietary practices
out there, the inactivity,
00:22:38.09\00:22:41.46
those are all the things that
amount to evil that affect us
00:22:41.49\00:22:46.46
It says, "But
overcome evil with good."
00:22:46.49\00:22:50.77
In other words as a
Lifestyle Interventionist,
00:22:50.80\00:22:53.34
what I teach people to do
is to put a good habit in place
00:22:53.37\00:22:58.07
of a bad habit. Now if
you just stop the bad habit
00:22:58.11\00:23:01.68
guess what happens?
00:23:01.71\00:23:03.35
Seven more bad habits come in.
You know that story to replace
00:23:03.38\00:23:08.62
the bad with the good. So you
have to put the good in place of
00:23:08.65\00:23:12.19
the bad, that's the
great principle of substitution
00:23:12.22\00:23:15.86
overcome evil with good.
00:23:15.89\00:23:19.16
And isn't it true as we
make decisions step by step
00:23:19.19\00:23:23.10
and move the body even if
it is just taking one walk.
00:23:23.13\00:23:26.47
Yes. And maybe then
we'll take two walks...Right.
00:23:26.50\00:23:29.87
And we'll walk again
the third time and we'll eat
00:23:29.90\00:23:33.27
an apple instead of an apple
candy and we'll drink water
00:23:33.31\00:23:37.41
instead of the Coke and
if we just start making these
00:23:37.45\00:23:40.68
decisions one by one by
one, step by step as the famous
00:23:40.72\00:23:45.05
Chinese Proverb says the
journey of a thousand miles
00:23:45.09\00:23:48.56
begins with a single step,
then we're training our brain
00:23:48.59\00:23:51.93
right, we're developing
new patterns to help us
00:23:51.96\00:23:55.50
to step by step by step improve
our health and everything else.
00:23:55.53\00:24:01.30
Yeah, the average person out
there who's not accustomed to
00:24:01.34\00:24:05.71
walking, they may be
intimidated by me when I say
00:24:05.74\00:24:09.98
30 minutes twice a day.
Listen, when I counsel people
00:24:10.01\00:24:13.18
I tell them this, I don't
care if you can't walk an hour
00:24:13.21\00:24:17.45
I am not concerned with
that. Or even thirty minutes
00:24:17.49\00:24:19.95
I want you to just start,
can you walk five minutes?
00:24:19.99\00:24:24.26
Uh, yeah, I can walk,
that's where you start.
00:24:24.29\00:24:27.30
Five minutes, but I want
you in two or three days to
00:24:27.33\00:24:31.10
go up by one or two minutes
because your body's tolerance
00:24:31.13\00:24:35.54
for exercise is going to
increase as you do it every day.
00:24:35.57\00:24:39.11
So the first day they go out
five minutes and they come back
00:24:39.14\00:24:42.44
and, I'm so tired, I
can't, the next day we do
00:24:42.48\00:24:45.81
the same, the next day we
do the same, but by the third
00:24:45.85\00:24:47.98
or the fourth day now, you know,
I'm not quite so winded anymore
00:24:48.02\00:24:51.99
so now we go up by a minute,
two minutes, and you do that
00:24:52.05\00:24:56.02
until you get up to
30 minutes then you stop.
00:24:56.06\00:24:58.19
Now you go for 30 minutes
twice a day and so we start
00:24:58.23\00:25:03.47
gradually. That's how God works.
00:25:03.50\00:25:05.03
He reminds me of the minister I
listened to him a long time ago
00:25:05.07\00:25:08.40
and he said, he was an old
man and he said if God wants you
00:25:08.44\00:25:11.87
to take ten steps
and you're on step one,
00:25:11.91\00:25:15.24
he said what is the
most important step for you?
00:25:15.28\00:25:18.18
And obviously, it's step two.
So then God leads us step three
00:25:18.21\00:25:24.19
and we need to make
these changes gradually but
00:25:24.22\00:25:27.66
we can do it if we
pray, if we read His word
00:25:27.69\00:25:32.09
and if we ask for help.
If we learn the benefits
00:25:32.13\00:25:34.93
of exercise and eating a
good diet, more natural foods
00:25:34.96\00:25:38.77
and getting sunlight, drinking
water, the basics our body will
00:25:38.80\00:25:44.67
be blessed and we'll be
able to win many of these
00:25:44.71\00:25:50.05
body battles that
we're fighting every day.
00:25:50.08\00:25:53.95
It's true, it's sort of
like the story of Jacob you know
00:25:53.98\00:25:56.55
when he's going back to
his brother and back to the
00:25:56.58\00:25:58.85
homeland. He said you guys
go ahead, I'm going to go with
00:25:58.89\00:26:03.06
those who are moving a
little more slowly here.
00:26:03.09\00:26:06.63
And that's how God
works, He works with us,
00:26:06.66\00:26:08.80
we're moving slow and He
knows we can't go too fast here
00:26:08.83\00:26:13.80
so He just goes right along
with us, helps us step by step
00:26:13.84\00:26:18.24
as you pointed out.
That's right so as we get down
00:26:18.27\00:26:21.04
to the end here, here's
my glass cleaner, Caution,
00:26:21.08\00:26:26.35
Contents Under Pressure.
We all need to be cautious
00:26:26.38\00:26:31.49
of the forces in this world
that are building up pressure
00:26:31.52\00:26:36.16
and are trying to
bring us down and once again
00:26:36.19\00:26:40.06
Psalm 37:7 "It says rest
in the Lord and wait patiently
00:26:40.10\00:26:46.77
for Him". We hope that God will
give you rest and relieve your
00:26:46.80\00:26:51.37
pressure as you
get closer to Him.
