Welcome today to
The Carter Report.
00:00:56.35\00:00:58.39
Greater Manila is
more than 20 million souls.
00:01:01.72\00:01:05.19
Almost all these
beautiful people are ignorant
00:01:05.23\00:01:07.86
of the true Gospel of Christ.
00:01:07.90\00:01:10.00
Manila needs Jesus.
00:01:10.03\00:01:11.97
Thirty five years ago,
John Carter came to Manila.
00:01:12.00\00:01:15.57
Pastor Carter is
returning to Manila
00:01:15.60\00:01:17.74

00:01:17.77\00:01:19.41
Preach the Gospel of Christ
00:01:19.44\00:01:21.18
and the great
truths of the Bible.
00:01:21.21\00:01:23.38
Don't water down the message.
00:01:23.41\00:01:25.31
Make it plain, make it
clear, make it Christ-centered.
00:01:25.35\00:01:29.48

Hello, friend.
00:02:02.25\00:02:03.59
Welcome today to
The Carter Report.
00:02:03.62\00:02:05.65
Welcome to you, Dr. Westerdahl.
00:02:05.69\00:02:07.92
Well, it's great to be
with you here today, pastor.
00:02:07.96\00:02:10.19
It's our privilege
to have you with us.
00:02:10.23\00:02:13.63
We've just done
two tremendous programs
00:02:13.66\00:02:16.36
on the science of health.
00:02:16.40\00:02:18.40
And today, what
are we talking about?
00:02:18.43\00:02:20.14
We're talking about the secrets
of anti-aging and longevity.
00:02:20.17\00:02:23.77
So you're going to live longer?
00:02:23.81\00:02:25.14
You can live
longer and healthier.
00:02:25.17\00:02:27.28
And look better.
00:02:27.31\00:02:28.98
Look better, feel better. Yeah.
00:02:29.01\00:02:31.08
So you want to hear this today
00:02:31.11\00:02:33.62
because this is
really exciting stuff.
00:02:33.65\00:02:38.35
Now you're an internationally
recognized authority
00:02:38.39\00:02:41.52
in the fields of food,
nutrition, and longevity.
00:02:41.56\00:02:46.36
You've got a PhD from
Loma Linda University.
00:02:46.39\00:02:51.83
You're also a founding
member of the American College
00:02:51.87\00:02:54.67
of Lifestyle Medicine.
00:02:54.70\00:02:56.71
Now what does the
Bible say about health
00:02:56.74\00:03:01.61
and longevity, please?
00:03:01.64\00:03:03.41
Well, the Bible has...
00:03:03.45\00:03:04.78
There's many scriptures
that we can read in the Bible.
00:03:04.81\00:03:06.92
And I believe the
Bible is one of the greatest,
00:03:06.95\00:03:08.68
is the greatest, book on health
00:03:08.72\00:03:10.15
and longevity to
tell you the truth.
00:03:10.19\00:03:11.65
Quite
astounding, isn't it? It is.
00:03:11.69\00:03:13.56
And what did Jesus say?
00:03:13.59\00:03:15.16
He said, "I am come
that you might have life
00:03:15.19\00:03:17.79
and that you might
have it more abundantly."
00:03:17.83\00:03:20.70
He wants us to
have an abundant life,
00:03:20.73\00:03:22.36
a long, healthy life.
00:03:22.40\00:03:23.73
Yes.
00:03:23.77\00:03:25.10
Also, too, there
are other passages,
00:03:25.13\00:03:27.20
like this one in Exodus 15.
00:03:27.24\00:03:29.24
Can I read it? Yes.
00:03:29.27\00:03:30.61
Okay.
00:03:30.64\00:03:31.97
"If you listen carefully
00:03:32.01\00:03:33.34
to the voice of
the Lord your God
00:03:33.38\00:03:35.14
and do what is
right in His eyes,
00:03:35.18\00:03:37.75
if you pay
attention to His commands
00:03:37.78\00:03:40.55
and keep all His decrees,
00:03:40.58\00:03:43.28
I will not bring on
you any of the diseases
00:03:43.32\00:03:47.86
I brought on the Egyptians,
00:03:47.89\00:03:50.59
for I am the
Lord, who heals you."
00:03:50.63\00:03:52.96
That's right.
00:03:52.99\00:03:54.33
So God said that if His people
00:03:54.36\00:03:56.03
were to obey
certain health laws,
00:03:56.06\00:03:58.63
they wouldn't get the diseases
00:03:58.67\00:04:00.70
that the Egyptians
were suffering from.
00:04:00.74\00:04:02.47
That's right.
00:04:02.50\00:04:03.84
And the Egyptians suffered
from many of the diseases
00:04:03.87\00:04:05.61
we have today.
00:04:05.64\00:04:06.98
They had heart
disease, they had cancer,
00:04:07.01\00:04:09.11
they had stroke,
they had arthritis.
00:04:09.14\00:04:11.15
Paleopathologists have studied
the diseases of ancient man,
00:04:11.18\00:04:14.35
they've scanned these mummies.
00:04:14.38\00:04:16.15
And they found that they
have a lot of the same diseases
00:04:16.18\00:04:18.65
that we have today.
00:04:18.69\00:04:20.59
It's quite astounding,
isn't it, that God says that,
00:04:20.62\00:04:24.26
"If you keep My laws
that are found in the Bible,
00:04:24.29\00:04:26.93
you're not gonna get any
of these terrible diseases."
00:04:26.96\00:04:29.20
That's right.
00:04:29.23\00:04:30.57
And because they ate everything,
00:04:30.60\00:04:31.93
they didn't follow
healthy lifestyles, really.
00:04:31.97\00:04:33.94
In fact, we have
the same problem today.
00:04:33.97\00:04:35.37
I call it the Standard
American Diet or S-A-D, SAD.
00:04:35.40\00:04:39.07
SAD diet.
00:04:39.11\00:04:40.44
It's a toxic diet that
Americans are eating today.
00:04:40.48\00:04:42.71
And we have...
00:04:42.74\00:04:44.11
These types of foods cause
and promote premature aging.
00:04:44.15\00:04:48.72
Well, we're gonna be
talking about this today.
00:04:48.75\00:04:50.62
And they lead to these diseases
00:04:50.65\00:04:52.15
that the same diseases
that the Egyptians had.
00:04:52.19\00:04:56.12
And what you're telling us today
00:04:56.16\00:04:57.83
is that these
diseases can be prevented?
00:04:57.86\00:05:01.06
They can be prevented.
00:05:01.10\00:05:02.43
And death can be delayed?
00:05:02.46\00:05:03.83
It can.
00:05:03.87\00:05:05.27
This is sort of
amazing, isn't it?
00:05:05.30\00:05:06.77
It is.
00:05:06.80\00:05:08.14
And there are some verses,
00:05:08.17\00:05:09.50
and maybe why
don't you read this,
00:05:09.54\00:05:10.87
Pastor Carter, from Deuteronomy.
00:05:10.91\00:05:12.24
Okay.
00:05:12.27\00:05:13.61
"I have set before
you life and death,
00:05:13.64\00:05:15.98
blessing and cursing.
00:05:16.01\00:05:18.55
Therefore, choose life,
00:05:18.58\00:05:20.75
that both you and
your descendants may live,
00:05:20.78\00:05:24.02
that you may love
the Lord your God,
00:05:24.05\00:05:26.49
and that you may obey His voice,
00:05:26.52\00:05:29.49
and that you may cling to Him,
00:05:29.52\00:05:31.66
for He is your life
00:05:31.69\00:05:34.90
and the length of your days."
00:05:34.93\00:05:36.60
That's right. What does it mean?
00:05:36.63\00:05:37.97
Longer life.
00:05:38.00\00:05:39.33
God is who...He
gives us life. Yes.
00:05:39.37\00:05:41.74
He's the great physician. Yes.
00:05:41.77\00:05:43.41
And if we
follow His commandments
00:05:43.44\00:05:45.47
and live according
to His health laws,
00:05:45.51\00:05:47.18
we can have much longer life.
00:05:47.21\00:05:49.74
Now the Egyptians didn't
obey those laws, did they?
00:05:49.78\00:05:51.81
They didn't.
00:05:51.85\00:05:53.18
They ate everything that
creeped, crawled, or flu.
00:05:53.21\00:05:55.48
You name it, they ate it. Yeah.
00:05:55.52\00:05:57.25
They didn't have it.
00:05:57.29\00:05:58.69
They didn't follow
those Mosaic health laws
00:05:58.72\00:06:00.39
that were given to the...
00:06:00.42\00:06:01.76
And they were
not a healthy people?
00:06:01.79\00:06:03.12
They weren't. They
were like us today?
00:06:03.16\00:06:04.69
They are.
00:06:04.73\00:06:06.06
And there's a
scripture that also...
00:06:06.09\00:06:08.66
Oh, here we go,
the Garden of Eden.
00:06:08.70\00:06:10.87
Yes.
00:06:10.90\00:06:12.23
And so back in
the Garden of Eden,
00:06:12.27\00:06:13.90
in the Bible, at the
very beginning of time,
00:06:13.94\00:06:16.94
how were things
different to what they are now?
00:06:16.97\00:06:19.77
Well, of course, the
Garden of Eden was a paradise.
00:06:19.81\00:06:22.84
It was a
wonderful place to live.
00:06:22.88\00:06:25.25
The man lived in
harmony with his other animals.
00:06:25.28\00:06:28.35
And he had a very healthy diet.
00:06:28.38\00:06:31.09
In fact, we read
in the scriptures
00:06:31.12\00:06:33.76
about the original diet of man,
00:06:33.79\00:06:36.12
which was a
healthy plant-based diet.
00:06:36.16\00:06:38.56
It was actually
a vegetarian diet.
00:06:38.59\00:06:40.33
Do you want to
read this scripture?
00:06:40.36\00:06:41.70
"And God said,
'Behold, I have given you
00:06:41.73\00:06:43.53
every herb bearing seed,
00:06:43.57\00:06:45.73
which is upon the
face of all the earth,
00:06:45.77\00:06:48.50
and every tree,
00:06:48.54\00:06:50.14
in which is the fruit
of a tree yielding seed,
00:06:50.17\00:06:53.54
to you it shall be
for meat or for food."
00:06:53.58\00:06:56.44
That's right. That
was God's original diet.
00:06:56.48\00:06:58.61
And so they
weren't having Big Macs?
00:06:58.65\00:07:00.28
They weren't.
00:07:00.32\00:07:01.65
And this was
actually an anti-aging diet.
00:07:01.68\00:07:03.59
This is the original
diet, is an all plant-food diet.
00:07:03.62\00:07:07.36
Most people don't
seem to know this, do they?
00:07:07.39\00:07:09.22
They don't.
00:07:09.26\00:07:10.59
And a lot of
Christians don't know this.
00:07:10.63\00:07:12.29
It's amazing what's in the Bible
00:07:12.33\00:07:13.86
when it talks about
health and longevity.
00:07:13.90\00:07:15.46
And America has
got a health crisis.
00:07:15.50\00:07:18.33
We do have a healthcare
crisis. How bad is it?
00:07:18.37\00:07:20.67
It's very bad.
00:07:20.70\00:07:23.44
We are killing
ourselves by the way we eat.
00:07:23.47\00:07:25.87
And the healthcare
system is breaking down.
00:07:25.91\00:07:28.08
It is.
00:07:28.11\00:07:29.44
And we're
spending lots of money.
00:07:29.48\00:07:30.81
And today, we're talking
about secrets of anti-aging
00:07:30.85\00:07:34.45
and secrets of longevity.
00:07:34.48\00:07:37.82
And in fact, you
know, in the Garden of Eden,
00:07:37.85\00:07:40.32
there was no
killing, there was no death,
00:07:40.36\00:07:42.39
man lived in harmony
with the other animals.
00:07:42.42\00:07:44.63
So they didn't kill the
animals to eat the animals?
00:07:44.66\00:07:45.99
They didn't kill the animals.
00:07:46.03\00:07:47.36
They ate from what God provided.
00:07:47.40\00:07:49.90
And that was all
those plant foods.
00:07:49.93\00:07:52.67
And in fact, there
was a tree of life.
00:07:52.70\00:07:54.60
And you know, that tree of life,
00:07:54.64\00:07:55.97
there was
something supernatural virtue
00:07:56.00\00:07:57.71
with that tree
00:07:57.74\00:07:59.07
because that was
an antidote to death.
00:07:59.11\00:08:01.64
It was a secret to
longevity and living forever.
00:08:01.68\00:08:05.01
That was God's intent.
00:08:05.05\00:08:06.38
And so you would
think that the Creator God
00:08:06.41\00:08:09.48
who made us would
know what we need?
00:08:09.52\00:08:12.29
That's right.
00:08:12.32\00:08:13.66
And so He gave us a special
type of lifestyle, didn't He,
00:08:13.69\00:08:17.33
in the Garden of Eden?
00:08:17.36\00:08:18.69
He did.
00:08:18.73\00:08:20.06
And in Genesis, we read,
00:08:20.10\00:08:21.43
"The tree of the
knowledge of good and evil
00:08:21.46\00:08:23.06
was the other tree."
00:08:23.10\00:08:24.43
Yes.
00:08:24.47\00:08:25.80
"And the Lord
commanded the man, saying,
00:08:25.83\00:08:28.27
'Of every tree in the
garden, you may freely eat,
00:08:28.30\00:08:31.67
but of the tree of the knowledge
00:08:31.71\00:08:33.38
of good and evil
you shall not eat,
00:08:33.41\00:08:36.18
for in that day you eat
of it, you shall surely die.'
00:08:36.21\00:08:40.52
" So here, we had one
tree they could live forever.
00:08:40.55\00:08:43.35
It gives super
health and longevity.
00:08:43.39\00:08:45.75
And then there's the other tree,
00:08:45.79\00:08:47.42
by eating it,
making the wrong choice.
00:08:47.46\00:08:50.13
Yeah. That we will die.
00:08:50.16\00:08:51.66
And so it's all about choices.
00:08:51.69\00:08:54.66
And what happened?
00:08:54.70\00:08:56.26
They ate of it
despite what God said.
00:08:56.30\00:08:58.60
And that's when
sin entered the world.
00:08:58.63\00:09:00.94
And death did not
come immediately, did it?
00:09:00.97\00:09:04.17
No.
00:09:04.21\00:09:05.54
But once they ate that
fruit, which was forbidden,
00:09:05.57\00:09:08.71
the wages of sin is death,
00:09:08.74\00:09:10.55
they began to
die, they began to age.
00:09:10.58\00:09:13.72
And that's when aging began.
00:09:13.75\00:09:15.55
Yeah.
00:09:15.58\00:09:16.99
And so we're talking today
about how we can overcome this.
00:09:17.02\00:09:19.69
We are.
00:09:19.72\00:09:21.06
And we're going to talk
about the original diet.
00:09:21.09\00:09:24.03
Is this is what we're
going to talk about today?
00:09:24.06\00:09:26.49
Yes, we are going
to talk about that
00:09:26.53\00:09:28.13
and other
principles of anti-aging.
00:09:28.16\00:09:29.93
Yes.
00:09:29.96\00:09:31.30
Now you've mentioned
that they still live long.
00:09:31.33\00:09:33.74
In fact, Adam, Bible tells
us, He lived to be 930 years.
00:09:33.77\00:09:37.97
And it's
interesting to see the ages
00:09:38.01\00:09:40.18
of the people in the
Bible before the flood,
00:09:40.21\00:09:44.18
before sin entered the
world, and after the flood.
00:09:44.21\00:09:47.12
And here, we have a list of all
the patriarchs showing how...
00:09:47.15\00:09:52.29
Before the flood,
00:09:52.32\00:09:53.82
mankind lived to be over
900 years of age on average.
00:09:53.86\00:09:57.33
Why? Because...
00:09:57.36\00:10:00.10
I believe that
too, don't you? I do.
00:10:00.13\00:10:02.46
Because they had come fresh
from the hand of Almighty God.
00:10:02.50\00:10:05.37
They did.
00:10:05.40\00:10:06.74
And there's a number
of reasons why they did.
00:10:06.77\00:10:08.44
First of all, when we
look at, prior to the flood,
00:10:08.47\00:10:11.77
there was
extraordinary longevity,
00:10:11.81\00:10:14.21
as they said, over 900 years.
00:10:14.24\00:10:16.14
And there's a number of reasons.
00:10:16.18\00:10:17.51
First of all, they
had pristine genetics.
00:10:17.55\00:10:19.58
They're the
beginning of time. Yeah.
00:10:19.61\00:10:21.48
And their genetics were pure.
00:10:21.52\00:10:22.85
Just and they weren't defiled.
00:10:22.88\00:10:24.35
That's right. Yeah.
00:10:24.39\00:10:25.72
Also, there was an
optimal environment
00:10:25.75\00:10:27.46
and atmospheric
conditions for planet earth.
00:10:27.49\00:10:29.32
We were unpolluted.
00:10:29.36\00:10:30.69
It was beautiful
environment. Yeah.
00:10:30.73\00:10:32.09
And also, that
healthy plant-based diet
00:10:32.13\00:10:34.20
that God had given them,
the all plant-based foods
00:10:34.23\00:10:37.37
that contributed to
their health and longevity.
00:10:37.40\00:10:39.03
And the other tree
of life there, too,
00:10:39.07\00:10:40.50
they have food from.
00:10:40.54\00:10:41.87
Of course.
00:10:41.90\00:10:43.24
And so to a certain extent,
00:10:43.27\00:10:45.11
do you think we
can learn something
00:10:45.14\00:10:47.58
from the first inhabitants?
00:10:47.61\00:10:50.15
Yes.
00:10:50.18\00:10:51.51
And what we learned
that we have a choice.
00:10:51.55\00:10:53.55
Anti-aging. Yeah.
00:10:53.58\00:10:55.25
We can live and eat
from foods that are healthy,
00:10:55.28\00:10:57.12
that give us long life,
00:10:57.15\00:10:58.49
or we can eat the other
foods that will cause death.
00:10:58.52\00:11:01.56
So when we're
talking about this,
00:11:01.59\00:11:04.23
we find that
living such long lives
00:11:04.26\00:11:07.70
even after sin came in.
00:11:07.73\00:11:11.60
Then later on in the scriptures,
00:11:11.63\00:11:13.20
we're told that they're
going to live for 120 years.
00:11:13.23\00:11:16.24
Yes. You know,
that's in Genesis 6.
00:11:16.27\00:11:19.41
He made mankind
to live for eternity.
00:11:19.44\00:11:21.44
Right. But then sin... Yes.
00:11:21.48\00:11:23.41
But sin came in when
they rebelled against God.
00:11:23.45\00:11:26.28
And then it
says, "The Lord said,
00:11:26.31\00:11:28.88
'My spirit will not
contend with humans forever,
00:11:28.92\00:11:31.45
for they are mortal.
00:11:31.49\00:11:33.02
Their days will be 120 years.'"
00:11:33.05\00:11:35.99
So our life
expectancy was cut short.
00:11:36.02\00:11:38.29
And what's very interesting
about this 120 years,
00:11:38.33\00:11:40.96
today, scientists tell us
00:11:41.00\00:11:43.50
that we have the
genetic potential
00:11:43.53\00:11:45.67
and the physical potential
to live to be 120 years.
00:11:45.70\00:11:48.64
Do you think
this is true? It is.
00:11:48.67\00:11:50.47
And it's happening.
00:11:50.51\00:11:51.84
And scientists are predicting
00:11:51.87\00:11:53.21
more people will
be living longer,
00:11:53.24\00:11:55.11
but lifestyle and healthy
living is a key factor in that.
00:11:55.14\00:11:59.35
So we're also
told in the scriptures
00:11:59.38\00:12:02.08
that man will live 70 years and,
00:12:02.12\00:12:04.29
then by reason of
strength, 80 years,
00:12:04.32\00:12:06.96
but God actually decreed that
00:12:06.99\00:12:08.46
that would not
necessarily be so.
00:12:08.49\00:12:10.79
That man had the capacity
even in this fallen state
00:12:10.83\00:12:15.66
to live to be 120.
00:12:15.70\00:12:17.03
That's right.
00:12:17.07\00:12:18.40
Well, what does man
have to do to live to be 120?
00:12:18.43\00:12:21.07
Well, he has to
follow these laws of nature
00:12:21.10\00:12:24.01
that can
contribute to their health
00:12:24.04\00:12:25.54
and wellness for a long life.
00:12:25.57\00:12:27.04
What should we do?
00:12:30.75\00:12:32.51
Now this, we've got a
statement here on aging.
00:12:32.55\00:12:35.78
Yeah. This is... Can we talk?
00:12:35.82\00:12:37.45
Let's talk about
aging, can we? Yes.
00:12:37.49\00:12:38.95
This is the definition of aging
00:12:38.99\00:12:40.52
according to the
Webster's New World Dictionary.
00:12:40.56\00:12:42.59
Yeah.
00:12:42.62\00:12:43.96
It's the process of growing old
00:12:43.99\00:12:45.33
and showing
signs of growing old.
00:12:45.36\00:12:47.10
Now that's an old
definition because today,
00:12:47.13\00:12:50.07
there's things we
can do to live longer.
00:12:50.10\00:12:53.03
And there's two
different types of age.
00:12:53.07\00:12:54.80
We have our chronological age
and we have our biological age.
00:12:54.84\00:12:58.17
Now chronologically, every year
you get a year older, right?
00:12:58.21\00:13:00.64
Yeah, I noticed.
00:13:00.68\00:13:02.01
So the chronological
age is a number of days,
00:13:02.04\00:13:04.45
months, or years
that a person has to live.
00:13:04.48\00:13:07.82
Now the biological age is
the health and performance
00:13:07.85\00:13:11.45
of a person's body systems
and it predicts our longevity.
00:13:11.49\00:13:14.62
So we can live...
00:13:14.66\00:13:15.99
We can actually...
00:13:16.02\00:13:17.36
You could be 50 years old
00:13:17.39\00:13:18.73
and live an unhealthy lifestyle,
00:13:18.76\00:13:20.10
but you actually are older,
00:13:20.13\00:13:22.66
maybe 60 because you're smoking
00:13:22.70\00:13:24.90
and drinking and overweight.
00:13:24.93\00:13:26.94
And on the other hand,
you can be 50 years old
00:13:26.97\00:13:28.77
and eating healthy,
getting regular exercise,
00:13:28.80\00:13:31.41
and you could be
younger, you might be only 40.
00:13:31.44\00:13:33.74
Let's say 20.
00:13:33.78\00:13:35.21
Okay, even 20.
00:13:35.24\00:13:36.58
Well, but anyway, so
those are the things.
00:13:36.61\00:13:38.55
Now there are places
you can go to find out
00:13:38.58\00:13:41.45
what your biological age is.
00:13:41.48\00:13:44.85
But this is the
problem here we have today.
00:13:44.89\00:13:46.82
We're spending about
$3 trillion, actually,
00:13:46.86\00:13:49.29
more than that on
our healthcare today.
00:13:49.32\00:13:50.73
This is amazing,
isn't it? That's right.
00:13:50.76\00:13:52.66
More than any other
country in the world.
00:13:52.69\00:13:54.80
That's right.
00:13:54.83\00:13:56.16
And probably more than
00:13:56.20\00:13:57.53
the rest of the
world is spending.
00:13:57.57\00:13:58.90
That's right. Exactly.
00:13:58.93\00:14:00.27
And we've got so much sickness
00:14:00.30\00:14:01.64
in the United States of America.
00:14:01.67\00:14:03.00
Yeah. So much
cancer, heart disease.
00:14:03.04\00:14:04.37
And we're ranked 35th
00:14:04.41\00:14:05.74
as the healthiest
nation in the world.
00:14:05.77\00:14:07.34
And we were way down the list,
00:14:07.38\00:14:09.38
and despite our
modern technology
00:14:09.41\00:14:11.48
and our advances in healthcare.
00:14:11.51\00:14:13.08
And this is a real tragedy
is our future generations.
00:14:13.11\00:14:16.02
One out of three American
children are overweight.
00:14:16.05\00:14:20.09
If they're overeating
the wrong types of food,
00:14:20.12\00:14:22.72
they're too sedentary.
00:14:22.76\00:14:24.09
I don't want to be skeptical
00:14:24.13\00:14:25.69
because I respect
you as a scientist.
00:14:25.73\00:14:28.76
But these
statistics are correct?
00:14:28.80\00:14:31.07
They are. These
are the scientific...
00:14:31.10\00:14:32.67
70% of Americans
are overweight or obese.
00:14:32.70\00:14:36.17
Right. It's a bit
alarming, isn't it?
00:14:36.20\00:14:38.01
And it's going
up. We're getting...
00:14:38.04\00:14:40.11
Those numbers
are getting larger.
00:14:40.14\00:14:41.48
Now it's going up.
00:14:41.51\00:14:43.45
And 100 million Americans
have diabetes or pre-diabetes,
00:14:43.48\00:14:46.58
and that's growing.
00:14:46.61\00:14:47.95
They're predicting
much more diabetics.
00:14:47.98\00:14:49.32
That's one in three.
00:14:49.35\00:14:51.25
That's right. And
it's gonna increase.
00:14:51.29\00:14:53.86
In fact, we
don't like to say this,
00:14:53.89\00:14:55.62
but we're a rather sick nation.
00:14:55.66\00:14:57.43
We are.
00:14:57.46\00:14:58.79
Something is gone wrong
then with the American dream.
00:14:58.83\00:15:01.53
Yes.
00:15:01.56\00:15:02.90
And how light and
look at blood pressure.
00:15:02.93\00:15:04.27
Seventy million
Americans have hypertension
00:15:04.30\00:15:06.13
and have high blood pressure.
00:15:06.17\00:15:07.50
Well, I can understand that
00:15:07.54\00:15:08.87
there's a number of good reasons
00:15:08.90\00:15:10.24
why you should have
high blood pressure today.
00:15:10.27\00:15:11.61
I mean, it's a very
tense world, isn't it?
00:15:11.64\00:15:13.84
Yes.
00:15:13.88\00:15:15.21
And hospitalizations,
70% of the people
00:15:15.24\00:15:17.41
that are admitted
to the hospitals today
00:15:17.45\00:15:19.18
are there because of diet
and lifestyle related reasons.
00:15:19.21\00:15:22.82
Want you to say that again?
00:15:22.85\00:15:24.19
Seventy percent of
patients in our hospitals
00:15:24.22\00:15:26.89
are there because of
their diet and their lifestyle.
00:15:26.92\00:15:30.13
Now we need hospitals,
00:15:30.16\00:15:31.49
30% of people are
there for others...
00:15:31.53\00:15:33.83
Yes, accidents and so forth.
00:15:33.86\00:15:35.20
Accidents and so forth,
00:15:35.23\00:15:36.56
but we can do
something about it.
00:15:36.60\00:15:37.93
And this is why the American
College of Lifestyle Medicine,
00:15:37.97\00:15:41.50
which it
promotes a healthy diet.
00:15:41.54\00:15:43.91
This is the most important
00:15:43.94\00:15:45.27
medical society
in America today.
00:15:45.31\00:15:46.64
We don't often hear about it.
00:15:46.68\00:15:48.01
You don't
because it's an emerging,
00:15:48.04\00:15:51.18
especially in medicine.
00:15:51.21\00:15:52.55
They are not trying to
make money out of people.
00:15:52.58\00:15:54.58
It's not, it's trying to
get people on to real health
00:15:54.62\00:15:57.39
and they point out
that for the treatment,
00:15:57.42\00:15:59.19
reversal and prevention
00:15:59.22\00:16:00.56
of lifestyle-related
and chronic diseases.
00:16:00.59\00:16:03.56
The American College
of Lifestyle Medicine
00:16:03.59\00:16:05.09
recommends an eating
plant based predominantly
00:16:05.13\00:16:08.26
on a variety of
minimally processed vegetables,
00:16:08.30\00:16:10.97
fruits, whole grains,
legumes, seeds and nuts.
00:16:11.00\00:16:13.30
Why don't we hear about this
in the television commercials
00:16:13.34\00:16:16.34
for Big Macs and so forth?
00:16:16.37\00:16:18.71
Why don't they
tell us this stuff?
00:16:18.74\00:16:20.08
Oh, there is bigger
money in those Big Macs.
00:16:20.11\00:16:22.44
So really,
00:16:22.48\00:16:23.98
the people who are putting
this stuff out are driven
00:16:24.01\00:16:26.45
by one big motivation.
00:16:26.48\00:16:28.82
Profit. Yeah, profit.
00:16:28.85\00:16:30.19
They don't really
care about people, do they?
00:16:30.22\00:16:31.99
Well, you know, taste
rules in the food industry.
00:16:32.02\00:16:34.02
So that's what
they are working on.
00:16:34.06\00:16:35.89
And even there is a
society of medical professionals
00:16:35.92\00:16:39.33
that are trying
to address aging.
00:16:39.36\00:16:40.96
It's called the American
Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.
00:16:41.00\00:16:44.40
Yeah.
00:16:44.43\00:16:45.77
And when you
define the anti-aging,
00:16:45.80\00:16:48.10
anti-aging is to stop,
slow or delay the aging process.
00:16:48.14\00:16:53.31
Not that we're against
aging, we're gonna get older.
00:16:53.34\00:16:55.58
But if we can do
things to slow it down,
00:16:55.61\00:16:58.35
to stop it and in many cases
00:16:58.38\00:16:59.71
you can reverse this by
changing your lifestyle.
00:16:59.75\00:17:01.68
And also to enjoy
the years that you've got
00:17:01.72\00:17:05.89
because, you know,
there's not much good is there
00:17:05.92\00:17:08.59
in giving a person a longer life
00:17:08.62\00:17:10.73
if he feels awful every day.
00:17:10.76\00:17:12.59
That's right.
00:17:12.63\00:17:13.96
And you know the American,
00:17:14.00\00:17:15.63
the American Academy
of Anti-Aging Medicine
00:17:15.66\00:17:18.13
has actually come
up with recommendations
00:17:18.17\00:17:20.84
with diet too, and similar to
what we've been talking about.
00:17:20.87\00:17:23.30
And these are not
people who are hammering the...
00:17:23.34\00:17:25.54
They're not people
hammering the Bible, are they?
00:17:25.57\00:17:27.74
No. These are doctors.
00:17:27.78\00:17:29.11
Some of them are atheists. Yeah.
00:17:29.14\00:17:30.48
But they agree with these things
00:17:30.51\00:17:32.15
that we need to eat a
wide variety of plant foods,
00:17:32.18\00:17:35.32
we need to
maintain our healthy weight,
00:17:35.35\00:17:37.22
choose a diet low
in fat and cholesterol,
00:17:37.25\00:17:39.05
choose a diet
with plenty of fruits,
00:17:39.09\00:17:41.52
vegetables, and whole grains.
00:17:41.56\00:17:43.89
And use sugar, salt,
and sodium in moderation.
00:17:43.93\00:17:46.86
I want to say to my friends
watching on television today.
00:17:46.90\00:17:50.20
This is good stuff, isn't it?
00:17:50.23\00:17:52.00
Now if we do these things,
we're going to look better.
00:17:52.03\00:17:56.00
We're going to live longer
and we're going to be nicer
00:17:56.04\00:18:00.04
and we're going to
enjoy our days, you know?
00:18:00.08\00:18:02.14
And if you want to look
better, these things you can do,
00:18:02.18\00:18:05.31
such as this,
00:18:05.35\00:18:06.68
daily use of a
sunscreen of SPF30 or more
00:18:06.72\00:18:09.78
that to prevent the
aging, premature aging...
00:18:09.82\00:18:12.05
And skin
cancer? And skin cancer.
00:18:12.09\00:18:14.22
And I'm a big
believer in trying to use
00:18:14.26\00:18:16.26
an anti-aging moisturizer.
00:18:16.29\00:18:18.23
Every day in the
morning, put that on your skin
00:18:18.26\00:18:20.43
and every evening
before you go to bed.
00:18:20.46\00:18:22.56
Those are things you can do,
00:18:22.60\00:18:24.00
so you can look
younger and feel younger.
00:18:24.03\00:18:25.70
I was born and
bred in Australia.
00:18:25.73\00:18:27.77
And Australia, of course,
is a place with great beaches.
00:18:27.80\00:18:30.31
I mean, there're great beaches,
00:18:30.34\00:18:32.57
but we're all brought up
surfing or lying on the beach.
00:18:32.61\00:18:36.38
Lot of skin cancer there.
00:18:36.41\00:18:37.75
Yeah, well, I've had a
skin cancer here taken off.
00:18:37.78\00:18:40.05
And a week ago,
00:18:40.08\00:18:41.42
I had a skin cancer
there taken off my nose.
00:18:41.45\00:18:44.15
And I've had a melanoma,
00:18:44.19\00:18:45.82
which is a
really bad cancer over,
00:18:45.85\00:18:47.79
you know, and so
what you're saying here,
00:18:47.82\00:18:51.13
it's tremendously
important and is practical.
00:18:51.16\00:18:55.46
And if we follow these things,
we're not gonna lose anything,
00:18:55.50\00:18:58.90
we're going to gain a lot.
00:18:58.93\00:19:00.27
Right. Yeah.
00:19:00.30\00:19:01.64
So, you know,
this is tremendous.
00:19:01.67\00:19:04.74
Okay, tell me this.
00:19:04.77\00:19:06.98
Scientists have got
various theories on why we age.
00:19:07.01\00:19:10.75
Right.
00:19:10.78\00:19:13.18
What do you say about this?
00:19:13.21\00:19:14.55
Well, there's
hundreds of theories
00:19:14.58\00:19:15.92
and we're quickly gonna
go through some of them.
00:19:15.95\00:19:17.29
Yeah. Let's look
at the first one.
00:19:17.32\00:19:18.65
It is called the
Free Radical Theory.
00:19:18.69\00:19:20.36
This has to do with
these very unstable compounds
00:19:20.39\00:19:24.13
that do damage to our
cells at the cellular level.
00:19:24.16\00:19:27.06
Here you have a healthy cell.
00:19:27.10\00:19:28.43
These free radicals
damage and attack the cells,
00:19:28.46\00:19:31.07
they puncture
holes in the cells,
00:19:31.10\00:19:32.80
they cause oxidative
stress that leads to wrinkling,
00:19:32.83\00:19:36.30
to the premature
aging of our skin,
00:19:36.34\00:19:38.41
also our organs and so forth.
00:19:38.44\00:19:40.48
So the thing is, they
also can damage the DNA
00:19:40.51\00:19:44.01
within the cell
00:19:44.05\00:19:45.38
and that causes
cancer, heart disease.
00:19:45.41\00:19:46.75
But where do they come from?
00:19:46.78\00:19:48.12
They come from our
diet, from smoking,
00:19:48.15\00:19:50.72
from drinking, from pollution.
00:19:50.75\00:19:52.65
So free radicals
actually come from smoking
00:19:52.69\00:19:56.36
and from drinking alcohol?
00:19:56.39\00:19:57.99
And also from eating
these processed foods.
00:19:58.03\00:20:01.13
Oh!
00:20:01.16\00:20:02.50
And these cause premature aging
and even if it's in your eye,
00:20:02.53\00:20:05.93
the cells in your eyes
because of the UV exposure
00:20:05.97\00:20:08.47
from free
radicals cause cataracts
00:20:08.50\00:20:10.51
Now the thing is,
00:20:10.54\00:20:11.94
we can counteract that
00:20:11.97\00:20:13.98
by having
antioxidants in our diet.
00:20:14.01\00:20:17.01
These prevent those things
from doing the free radicals
00:20:17.05\00:20:19.95
damaging cells.
00:20:19.98\00:20:21.32
Like vitamin C and vitamin D
00:20:21.35\00:20:22.78
and the carotenoid
pigments that we find...
00:20:22.82\00:20:24.55
Are you talking about
taking these by pills or...?
00:20:24.59\00:20:26.59
You can take them as pills,
00:20:26.62\00:20:27.96
but you can also get
them in your whole foods.
00:20:27.99\00:20:29.99
Which is the best way.
00:20:30.03\00:20:31.36
Which is the best way
you want to eat your food,
00:20:31.39\00:20:33.26
supplement a healthy diet,
00:20:33.29\00:20:35.06
but you want to
get it from your foods.
00:20:35.10\00:20:36.73
Then there's flavonoid pigments
00:20:36.77\00:20:38.30
that are found
in purple and green,
00:20:38.33\00:20:41.17
blue vegetables and
fruits and so forth.
00:20:41.20\00:20:43.30
Now these are a
list of the foods
00:20:43.34\00:20:44.67
that are high in vitamin C,
00:20:44.71\00:20:46.04
which are antioxidants
that can fight premature aging.
00:20:46.07\00:20:50.58
So we want to eat more
of these types of foods
00:20:50.61\00:20:52.48
and these are
all in plant foods.
00:20:52.51\00:20:53.95
You don't get
them in animal foods.
00:20:53.98\00:20:55.38
You get them in plants.
00:20:55.42\00:20:56.75
So none of these
things are in animal foods?
00:20:56.79\00:20:58.12
You don't get them in animals.
00:20:58.15\00:20:59.49
It's only in plant. Yeah.
00:20:59.52\00:21:00.86
Now another theory
00:21:00.89\00:21:02.22
is what we call the
Cross-Linking Theory.
00:21:02.26\00:21:03.59
This has to do with eating
too much sugar in our diet.
00:21:03.63\00:21:07.10
When your blood sugar goes up,
00:21:07.13\00:21:09.20
then these sugars
bind with proteins,
00:21:09.23\00:21:12.33
it causes damage
to cells, even DNA,
00:21:12.37\00:21:15.80
it causes the
browning of skin and tissue.
00:21:15.84\00:21:18.91
Goodness. And that's aging.
00:21:18.94\00:21:20.28
And this is very pop.
00:21:20.31\00:21:21.84
This is a popular situation
00:21:21.88\00:21:23.48
I should say related
to the high blood sugars
00:21:23.51\00:21:27.02
that diabetics have.
00:21:27.05\00:21:28.38
So diabetics have more of
this cross linking of proteins
00:21:28.42\00:21:31.65
and sugars combining and
doing damage to the body.
00:21:31.69\00:21:35.09
Now you get diabetes how?
00:21:35.12\00:21:36.99
Too much sugar and too much fat?
00:21:37.03\00:21:38.99
Is that so?
00:21:39.03\00:21:40.36
Too much fat, obesity,
when you're overweight,
00:21:40.40\00:21:43.67
you're going to have
more risk of diabetes as well.
00:21:43.70\00:21:47.17
So that's where this the,
00:21:47.20\00:21:48.97
too much sugar is
getting into the bloodstream.
00:21:49.00\00:21:50.81
So if a person's
got these things,
00:21:50.84\00:21:52.87
he can be helped?
00:21:52.91\00:21:54.24
He can be helped and
you can reverse diabetes
00:21:54.28\00:21:55.64
through what we're talking
about here in the series.
00:21:55.68\00:21:57.71
All right, so everybody
better be listening today
00:21:57.75\00:21:59.21
because how many people have
got diabetes in this country?
00:21:59.25\00:22:01.58
Hundred millions, aren't we?
00:22:01.62\00:22:03.08
It's growing extremely.
00:22:03.12\00:22:05.02
There is lot of diabetes. Yeah.
00:22:05.05\00:22:06.69
Now the other one is a
Chronic Inflammation Theory.
00:22:06.72\00:22:09.06
Yeah.
00:22:09.09\00:22:10.43
Inflammation is the cause
00:22:10.46\00:22:11.93
of a lot of the
diseases we have.
00:22:11.96\00:22:13.29
This is what the
doctors are telling us today.
00:22:13.33\00:22:15.33
And what causes inflammation?
00:22:15.36\00:22:17.27
The things on that left
fork, all that processed food.
00:22:17.30\00:22:21.10
Are you serious about this?
00:22:21.14\00:22:22.47
Yes, this is a
pro-inflammatory diet
00:22:22.50\00:22:25.61
by eating this
stuff on the left fork.
00:22:25.64\00:22:26.98
So if you eat
that stuff on the left,
00:22:27.01\00:22:28.34
you're gonna bring on a disease?
00:22:28.38\00:22:30.41
You're bringing on all types
of these multiple sclerosis,
00:22:30.45\00:22:34.78
rheumatoid arthritis,
00:22:34.82\00:22:36.65
the inflammatory
diseases that lead to diabetes,
00:22:36.69\00:22:38.92
and heart disease, damaging...
00:22:38.95\00:22:40.56
And this is for
sure, isn't that?
00:22:40.59\00:22:41.99
And this is for
sure. This is shown.
00:22:42.02\00:22:43.73
We better listen to this today.
00:22:43.76\00:22:45.09
And we need to eat those
foods that were on the right.
00:22:45.13\00:22:46.46
More the fruits and vegetables
00:22:46.49\00:22:47.83
'cause they're
anti-inflammatory.
00:22:47.86\00:22:49.20
The next theory has to
do with Calorie Intake.
00:22:49.23\00:22:52.37
Eat less, live longer.
00:22:52.40\00:22:54.50
And studies
show that rat studies
00:22:54.54\00:22:57.01
at a 50% increase in longevity
00:22:57.04\00:22:59.17
with a 30% to 60%
decrease in caloric intake.
00:22:59.21\00:23:03.08
These studies on rats
00:23:03.11\00:23:04.91
relate to what's going on
with human beings as well.
00:23:04.95\00:23:08.22
So we eat too many
calories, we need to,
00:23:08.25\00:23:11.02
we're overeating
calories, too much sugar,
00:23:11.05\00:23:13.52
too much refined foods.
00:23:13.56\00:23:14.89
That's because
we're a wealthy country?
00:23:14.92\00:23:16.26
We're a wealthy country.
00:23:16.29\00:23:17.63
And lots of food to eat?
00:23:17.66\00:23:18.99
Lots of food and
it's cheap. Yeah.
00:23:19.03\00:23:20.36
And it makes big people?
00:23:20.40\00:23:21.73
It makes big people.
00:23:21.76\00:23:23.10
So that's the other theory.
00:23:23.13\00:23:24.47
The other theory
is the Immune Theory.
00:23:24.50\00:23:25.83
And that has to do
00:23:25.87\00:23:27.20
with
strengthening our immune system.
00:23:27.24\00:23:28.80
And the best way to do that
is to eat more of these foods.
00:23:28.84\00:23:32.74
These healthy
fruits and vegetables,
00:23:32.77\00:23:35.68
they have immune
stimulating properties
00:23:35.71\00:23:39.25
that can
strengthen our immune system.
00:23:39.28\00:23:41.12
And by the way,
those processed foods,
00:23:41.15\00:23:43.69
all that fat and sugar,
and hamburgers and so forth,
00:23:43.72\00:23:47.16
that actually
decreases our immune system.
00:23:47.19\00:23:50.36
Now you're
certain about this diet?
00:23:50.39\00:23:51.79
I'm sure. There's no
question. No question?
00:23:51.83\00:23:54.20
No question on that. Yeah.
00:23:54.23\00:23:55.56
The scientific world knows this?
00:23:55.60\00:23:56.93
That's right.
00:23:56.97\00:23:58.30
And they know that this
is the best type of diet
00:23:58.33\00:24:00.60
to boost that immune system.
00:24:00.64\00:24:02.70
And yet today we've got a nation
00:24:02.74\00:24:04.17
that is
collapsing under the burden
00:24:04.21\00:24:06.21
of a failed healthcare system.
00:24:06.24\00:24:07.61
That's right.
00:24:07.64\00:24:08.98
So it makes you think
that perhaps we better get back
00:24:09.01\00:24:10.68
to the teachings of
the Bible on these things.
00:24:10.71\00:24:12.38
We do. And that plant...
00:24:12.41\00:24:13.75
To the original diet
in the Garden of Eden.
00:24:13.78\00:24:15.12
The original diet is... Yeah.
00:24:15.15\00:24:16.65
It strengthens
the immune system.
00:24:16.69\00:24:18.15
The other is the
Telomere Theory of Aging.
00:24:18.19\00:24:20.56
This is very exciting
00:24:20.59\00:24:21.92
because this has to
do with our chromosomes.
00:24:21.96\00:24:23.99
Yeah.
00:24:24.03\00:24:25.36
And telomeres are
the protective coatings
00:24:25.39\00:24:27.40
at the ends of the chromosomes.
00:24:27.43\00:24:29.23
You see at the
protective endings there?
00:24:29.26\00:24:30.60
Yeah, I see there.
00:24:30.63\00:24:31.97
And all the genetic material,
that's all your chromosomes.
00:24:32.00\00:24:34.47
And telomerase is an enzyme
that helps replenish that.
00:24:34.50\00:24:38.07
What happens is that
00:24:38.11\00:24:40.44
the telomeres help to determine
00:24:40.48\00:24:43.38
our health span
and our lifespan.
00:24:43.41\00:24:45.71
And as we see on
the next chart coming up
00:24:45.75\00:24:48.58
as their cell
division as you get older,
00:24:48.62\00:24:50.79
cells divide, divide and more.
00:24:50.82\00:24:52.45
You can see you
have longer telomeres
00:24:52.49\00:24:54.72
and they start
going down and weakening,
00:24:54.76\00:24:56.69
you get less of the telomeres.
00:24:56.73\00:24:58.39
So the main principle
that we want to talk about here
00:24:58.43\00:25:01.16
is that longer telomeres
equal longer health span,
00:25:01.20\00:25:05.23
equals longer lifespan.
00:25:05.27\00:25:07.20
Shorter telomeres are shorter
health span, shorter lifespan.
00:25:07.24\00:25:10.97
Okay, break it down and tell me
00:25:11.01\00:25:12.67
how do I put this into practice?
00:25:12.71\00:25:15.54
So by eating this
healthy Genesis 1:29 buy diet
00:25:15.58\00:25:20.55
that we say that
00:25:20.58\00:25:21.92
that can actually
lengthen your telomeres
00:25:21.95\00:25:24.22
which will
contribute to a longer life
00:25:24.25\00:25:26.59
and a longer healthy life.
00:25:26.62\00:25:28.06
That is basically
a plant-based diet.
00:25:28.09\00:25:31.16
It's a plant-based diet.
00:25:31.19\00:25:32.53
And by the way,
this has been proven
00:25:32.56\00:25:34.30
and this is the Nobel
Prize winning research.
00:25:34.33\00:25:37.83
And so you will
actually live longer
00:25:37.87\00:25:40.04
and you'll feel better.
00:25:40.07\00:25:42.34
You'll enjoy your days more
00:25:42.37\00:25:44.07
if you follow the diet
of the Book of Genesis.
00:25:44.11\00:25:46.57
That's right.
Yeah, that's amazing.
00:25:46.61\00:25:48.01
Now the other thing,
00:25:48.04\00:25:49.38
you know, there's all
these different theories,
00:25:49.41\00:25:50.75
but there's one
thing that everything
00:25:50.78\00:25:52.25
when you take all
these different theories,
00:25:52.28\00:25:53.62
it all boils down to one thing.
00:25:53.65\00:25:55.38
We lose water
within our cells as we age.
00:25:55.42\00:25:58.92
This is what we call the
science of cellular water.
00:25:58.95\00:26:02.19
And water in our body
resides within the cells.
00:26:02.22\00:26:05.63
It resides in connective tissue.
00:26:05.66\00:26:07.36
And then there's wasted water,
when people live unhealthily,
00:26:07.40\00:26:10.13
they get edema swelling.
00:26:10.17\00:26:11.93
And they're wasting their water.
00:26:11.97\00:26:13.70
So our goal is to
increase the intracellular water
00:26:13.74\00:26:16.10
in the connective
tissue within the cells
00:26:16.14\00:26:18.41
and reduce that wasting water.
00:26:18.44\00:26:20.78
So here you have an example.
00:26:20.81\00:26:22.61
This is a healthy cell
and see that nice membrane,
00:26:22.64\00:26:25.31
it keeps all the moist...
00:26:25.35\00:26:26.68
Think of that as a great. Yeah.
00:26:26.72\00:26:28.45
Now what happens
those free radicals
00:26:28.48\00:26:30.65
and the inflammation
damage those cell membranes
00:26:30.69\00:26:33.59
and we lose the
water through this
00:26:33.62\00:26:35.66
as a puncture holes in there,
00:26:35.69\00:26:37.59
and to where the cell wall
00:26:37.63\00:26:39.23
or the cell membrane is
damaged and water seeps out.
00:26:39.26\00:26:41.96
What we want is
what's on the far right
00:26:42.00\00:26:44.33
is to build our healthy cells.
00:26:44.37\00:26:46.00
And we can do that by
eating the right type of diet.
00:26:46.03\00:26:49.20
The cell membrane
is made of lecithin
00:26:49.24\00:26:51.34
and healthy fats like
the Omega-3 fatty acids.
00:26:51.37\00:26:54.28
And it keeps adding,
00:26:54.31\00:26:55.64
so it's kind of like
00:26:55.68\00:26:57.01
the grape going to the raisin.
00:26:57.05\00:26:58.91
And those we dry out on
our skin and get wrinkles,
00:26:58.95\00:27:02.25
we lose that water on
ourselves in our organs
00:27:02.28\00:27:06.05
and it causes a lot of problems.
00:27:06.09\00:27:07.42
So we want to increase
our intracellular water.
00:27:07.46\00:27:09.59
That's the bottom line.
00:27:09.62\00:27:10.96
And the truth of the matter
is these things are doable,
00:27:10.99\00:27:13.60
aren't they?
00:27:13.63\00:27:14.96
They are. They are doable.
00:27:15.00\00:27:16.33
Through a healthy
diet and healthy lifestyle.
00:27:16.36\00:27:18.23
And if we follow this diet,
we're going to live longer.
00:27:18.27\00:27:23.87
We're going to feel better.
00:27:23.91\00:27:26.37
We're going to be nicer people.
00:27:26.41\00:27:28.11
We're gonna be happier people.
00:27:28.14\00:27:29.58
Yes. And we want
to eat your water.
00:27:29.61\00:27:31.51
Eating plant-based diet
means you're eating water
00:27:31.55\00:27:33.75
and that water gets
into your cells better.
00:27:33.78\00:27:35.48
And now, Doctor, it's
been a great privilege
00:27:35.52\00:27:37.72
