Hello and welcome to
Health For A Lifetime.
00:00:50.51\00:00:51.98
I'm your host Don Mackintosh
00:00:52.01\00:00:53.59
and we're glad that
you joined us today.
00:00:53.62\00:00:55.02
This is going to be a very
colorful program literally.
00:00:55.05\00:00:58.72
We're going to be
joined with Dr. Victor Herry,
00:00:58.75\00:01:00.83
Dr. Herry is from the DC
area and you are a specialist
00:01:00.86\00:01:05.84
in internal medicine and
you told me that some of the
00:01:05.87\00:01:09.00
things you like to talk
about with people are like
00:01:09.03\00:01:11.52
what we have right here
on the, on our set today.
00:01:11.55\00:01:14.31
The colorful
foods. That's correct.
00:01:14.34\00:01:16.95
And why is that that you
like to talk about colorful?
00:01:16.98\00:01:19.80
It is very interesting
that nature has made things
00:01:19.83\00:01:22.36
colorful and one
wonders why, but if you think
00:01:22.39\00:01:27.27
in terms of red for
instance. Okay we got red.
00:01:27.30\00:01:30.01
Red apple. We got a red apple.
00:01:30.04\00:01:32.30
Or the beet which is also red,
00:01:32.33\00:01:34.07
now the pigment in
these foods provide healing.
00:01:34.10\00:01:38.82
So, when you look at
color you actually look at
00:01:38.85\00:01:41.74
healing and so in all of
these colors a tremendous
00:01:41.77\00:01:45.59
amount of
antioxidants and antosianins,
00:01:45.62\00:01:51.08
all of these things
that aid in healing.
00:01:51.11\00:01:53.86
Let's start with the
red. Let's start with the red.
00:01:53.89\00:01:56.97
Okay, for instance in
the cherry red we have
00:01:57.00\00:01:59.57
what is called anthocyanins,
now these are pigments
00:01:59.60\00:02:04.92
that when taken into
the body system they enable
00:02:04.95\00:02:08.30
the body to fight
various kinds of diseases,
00:02:08.33\00:02:11.46
fight cancers and also
even prepare the body to,
00:02:11.49\00:02:18.95
for the agents
that it would encounter.
00:02:19.47\00:02:21.46
Let me, let me
give you an example of
00:02:21.49\00:02:23.21
and as we are on the
red, take strawberries.
00:02:23.24\00:02:25.65
Okay. This is a
red, this is a red apple,
00:02:25.68\00:02:27.75
but I'll give you an
experiment that was done
00:02:27.78\00:02:29.58
with strawberries. Now
you're making me hungry
00:02:29.61\00:02:31.71
even talking about this.
Now, now the two things about
00:02:31.74\00:02:34.30
strawberries that I
want to mention to you,
00:02:34.33\00:02:36.34
now let's take
the experiment first
00:02:36.37\00:02:38.23
because that will
fascinate you. Okay.
00:02:38.26\00:02:40.45
Now rats, the
two groups of rats,
00:02:40.48\00:02:43.86
one group of rats
were feed strawberries
00:02:44.47\00:02:47.91
and the other group
of rats were exposed
00:02:47.94\00:02:50.27
to 100% oxygen without
being feed strawberries.
00:02:50.30\00:02:54.66
Now those rats who
were exposed to 100% oxygen
00:02:54.69\00:02:58.38
for 48 hours.
Okay. They aged from 18,
00:02:58.41\00:03:02.88
from 12 months to
18 months in 48 hours.
00:03:02.91\00:03:08.64
Just by having pure
oxygen. Just by having pure,
00:03:08.67\00:03:10.98
pure oxygen because
pure oxygen is deleterious,
00:03:11.01\00:03:13.29
it's like the aging of a
human being from 18-years-old
00:03:13.32\00:03:16.37
to 60 years old.
What happened was these,
00:03:16.40\00:03:20.14
the rats were then feed
over two months a diet of
00:03:20.17\00:03:24.33
strawberries. Okay. Okay,
00:03:24.36\00:03:26.41
and then exposed to
a 100% of pure oxygen
00:03:26.44\00:03:31.34
for 48 hours. So, no, not 24,
00:03:31.37\00:03:33.92
for 48 this time.
48, both of those group
00:03:33.95\00:03:36.53
of rats for 48 hours. Okay.
00:03:36.56\00:03:38.13
Right, nothing
happened to the group of rats
00:03:38.16\00:03:40.60
that were exposed to,
who were feed the diet of
00:03:40.63\00:03:44.07
strawberries. So,
it protected them from
00:03:44.10\00:03:46.32
the oxidizing.
That's, that's correct.
00:03:46.35\00:03:48.94
It protected them from
the negative effects of
00:03:48.97\00:03:52.28
oxygen on their system.
Now Dr. Herry, you're not
00:03:52.31\00:03:55.58
paid by the
strawberry industry are you?
00:03:55.61\00:03:57.34
Certainly not,
certainly not, no and those are
00:03:57.37\00:04:01.47
experiments done by
red. It was also found that
00:04:01.50\00:04:05.49
if you fed rats
spinach the same thing happens.
00:04:05.52\00:04:10.57
Spinach will do it.
Spinach will do it also.
00:04:10.60\00:04:12.70
So your greens.
So that you have,
00:04:12.73\00:04:15.74
the color has something
to do with the protective
00:04:15.77\00:04:20.75
nature. So that
when you have color foods
00:04:20.78\00:04:23.90
and we began with
red. Right. So that's red
00:04:23.93\00:04:26.80
strawberries, beat red
you have the Beta-carotene
00:04:26.83\00:04:31.73
and the Alpha-carotene
and you have the betacyanins
00:04:31.76\00:04:35.16
which have the, all
the colors in there.
00:04:35.19\00:04:37.39
Those are protective,
they have to fight diseases.
00:04:37.42\00:04:41.43
So, an apple a day does
keep Dr. Victor Herry away.
00:04:41.46\00:04:45.72
It suddenly would,
if you have one everyday
00:04:45.75\00:04:48.93
and we're talking
about the red apple now.
00:04:48.96\00:04:50.92
The red apple.
The red apple not.
00:04:50.95\00:04:52.49
Because we're talking about
the color red not the green.
00:04:52.52\00:04:55.54
Not the green or
the or the yellow.
00:04:55.57\00:04:57.47
But this would
considered a red one.
00:04:57.50\00:04:59.64
red with yellow in
it, that's fine. Okay.
00:04:59.67\00:05:01.74
Because of the color. Okay.
00:05:01.77\00:05:03.36
Because we're talking
about the anthocyanins
00:05:03.39\00:05:05.60
that contain in that red color.
00:05:05.63\00:05:08.14
And those are antioxidants.
And those are antioxidants,
00:05:08.17\00:05:12.12
those are pigments
that enable the body to
00:05:12.15\00:05:15.05
fight disease.
Protected the rats,
00:05:15.08\00:05:17.25
so they wouldn't age.
They protected the rats
00:05:17.28\00:05:18.40
and so they protect
you too. So if you don't.
00:05:18.43\00:05:20.77
Thank you, so if
you want to be younger
00:05:22.56\00:05:26.36
and that age is
rapidly you eat red apples
00:05:27.01\00:05:30.74
and strawberries.
What we are saying is this,
00:05:30.77\00:05:34.52
if your diet contains
as part of your diet it
00:05:34.55\00:05:39.06
contains a
number of these pigments
00:05:39.09\00:05:42.08
the red foods, not
just throwing color in it,
00:05:42.42\00:05:44.82
but coloring. I'm
talking about the natural foods,
00:05:44.85\00:05:47.74
okay, then they have
protective mechanisms
00:05:48.36\00:05:51.90
for the body. Now this,
for instance strawberries
00:05:51.93\00:05:55.67
also I mentioned
strawberries and the rats.
00:05:55.70\00:05:57.75
Right. Strawberries
also contain a substance
00:05:57.78\00:06:00.36
Ellargic Acid, ELLARGIC
is the word, ellargic acid
00:06:00.39\00:06:06.07
and that also has a
protective nature it helps
00:06:06.62\00:06:09.50
fight cancers. So that
by eating one wonders then
00:06:09.53\00:06:14.29
why you are advised by
God to eat all those things,
00:06:14.32\00:06:17.12
even from Eden, Adam
was advised to eat all the
00:06:17.15\00:06:19.93
fruits that he can
get, God knew that he placed
00:06:19.96\00:06:23.00
all these pigments in
there so that as we eat them
00:06:23.03\00:06:27.05
on a regular daily
basis not once a year
00:06:27.08\00:06:29.45
or once a month, but as
we eat them on a regular
00:06:29.48\00:06:32.50
basis they provide
us with protection.
00:06:32.53\00:06:35.08
Strawberries, cranberries,
raspberries, red grapes,
00:06:35.11\00:06:38.03
beats, red peppers,
tomatoes, anything else
00:06:38.06\00:06:41.61
about red. That's,
anything else red, they do that,
00:06:41.64\00:06:44.49
they would help protect them.
00:06:44.52\00:06:45.58
Now, tomatoes for instance
not only do they contain
00:06:45.61\00:06:48.28
the red pigment but
they also contain Lycopene,
00:06:48.31\00:06:51.66
which is a substance
that protects the prostate
00:06:52.59\00:06:56.45
from prostate cancer.
So that these foods are
00:06:56.48\00:07:02.27
in themselves protective.
Protective, now you've got
00:07:02.30\00:07:05.95
yellow, green,
blue, purple, orange,
00:07:05.98\00:07:07.77
brown all these different
things, we got to move.
00:07:07.80\00:07:10.13
So, let's go through
yellow, what's up with the
00:07:10.16\00:07:11.76
yellow. Alright,
take take the orange.
00:07:11.79\00:07:13.55
Okay, the orange. Okay.
00:07:13.58\00:07:14.74
Take the orange. Or the lime.
00:07:14.77\00:07:16.51
Yeah, the orange
or the lime. Okay.
00:07:16.54\00:07:18.89
Now they contain in the color,
00:07:18.92\00:07:21.39
they contain many of
the pigments that protects.
00:07:21.42\00:07:28.41
Okay. Against diseases now.
00:07:28.44\00:07:30.63
Such as? Now orange, let me,
00:07:30.66\00:07:32.56
let me tell you
what happened with.
00:07:32.59\00:07:33.74
Oranges. Take the
carrot for instance,
00:07:33.77\00:07:36.54
not the yellow. Okay.
00:07:36.57\00:07:37.54
We'll come back to
the orange. Alright.
00:07:37.55\00:07:39.07
You know a study was
done on nurses in 1993,
00:07:39.10\00:07:42.71
good and it was found
that if the nurses ate five
00:07:43.22\00:07:50.09
carrots, large
carrots a day right.
00:07:50.12\00:07:55.40
Okay five carrots a day.
00:07:55.43\00:07:56.70
Right, it reduce
stroke by 65%. Wow! 65%.
00:07:56.73\00:08:02.47
That's right. Too bad
this is a fake carrot,
00:08:02.50\00:08:04.49
I'd eat it right
now. So, the beta-carotene
00:08:04.52\00:08:09.10
and the
alpha-carotene not only does
00:08:09.13\00:08:12.32
it protect you against strokes,
00:08:12.35\00:08:13.99
if you eat a number
of carrots, but it also
00:08:14.02\00:08:17.48
protects against
cancers. Alpha-carotene
00:08:17.51\00:08:21.01
because we always
hear about beta-carotene
00:08:21.04\00:08:23.04
from carrots.
Right. But alpha-carotene
00:08:23.07\00:08:25.22
is another potent
pigment in carrots
00:08:25.25\00:08:28.49
that protects against cancers.
00:08:28.52\00:08:31.53
Cancers and strokes
and it makes you probably
00:08:32.02\00:08:34.08
see better too I
heard. Now, that we will touch
00:08:34.11\00:08:37.80
a little later on
because there are some things
00:08:37.83\00:08:39.49
that we have to talk
about with those colors.
00:08:39.52\00:08:43.91
Okay. Yeah.
Anything else about yellow?
00:08:43.94\00:08:46.09
Yeah, its it
lowers cholesterol by 11%.
00:08:46.12\00:08:51.65
This would lower by 11%.
00:08:51.68\00:08:53.54
The 11% and it's a
good source of vitamin A.
00:08:53.57\00:08:56.98
Vitamin A. Yes,
listen what Vitamin A does,
00:08:57.51\00:09:00.98
you see Vitamin A maintains
the integrity of the skin
00:09:01.01\00:09:05.05
and of the lining of
the organs of the body.
00:09:06.01\00:09:08.60
So, if you want
to have oil overlay,
00:09:08.63\00:09:11.18
it doesn't even
match this. Listen if you,
00:09:11.84\00:09:14.29
if you would eat
foods of color okay,
00:09:14.32\00:09:18.81
nature has so designed
that these foods contain
00:09:18.84\00:09:23.27
all of the anthocyanins,
the beta-carotenes,
00:09:23.30\00:09:27.21
the alpha-carotenes,
the Vitamin A, the Vitamin C
00:09:27.24\00:09:31.01
that protects the Epithelium,
and remember that most
00:09:31.04\00:09:34.47
cancers begin in the
Epithelium of most of
00:09:34.50\00:09:37.91
the organs. Now look at this,
00:09:37.94\00:09:39.29
what is this
Epithelium? Is that?
00:09:39.32\00:09:40.68
The lining, the
lining, the lining,
00:09:40.71\00:09:43.05
the thin lining
of the first cell.
00:09:43.08\00:09:46.15
Right in the,
right in the artery.
00:09:46.18\00:09:47.85
Just in your skin,
in skin the Epithelium
00:09:47.88\00:09:48.99
of the skin is the
outside of the skin outside
00:09:49.02\00:09:51.02
lining right, that's
protected by the foods
00:09:51.05\00:09:54.40
that we eat and what's
contained in those foods.
00:09:54.43\00:09:57.42
You know we've got
a number of programs
00:09:57.45\00:09:59.09
Dr. Herry but you
seem the most excited
00:09:59.12\00:10:01.49
about this one, because
it's so, these foods are
00:10:01.52\00:10:05.13
so powerful
right. Yes, they are,
00:10:05.16\00:10:06.65
they are because if we
were to take foods of color
00:10:06.68\00:10:10.66
and we were to
eat them properly.
00:10:11.20\00:10:12.90
Now many of the
diseases that we have,
00:10:12.93\00:10:16.89
that would not
exist. Now let me mention
00:10:17.62\00:10:20.56
one more thing I
know you're anxious
00:10:20.59\00:10:21.83
to move forward. Right.
00:10:21.86\00:10:22.96
Earlier on we
talked about strawberries.
00:10:22.99\00:10:24.73
Okay. Now
strawberries contain a substance
00:10:24.76\00:10:30.24
that is very important
to the DNA of your body
00:10:30.27\00:10:33.93
and you know what
that substance is absorbed
00:10:34.51\00:10:37.89
in the mouth when
you eat the strawberries.
00:10:37.92\00:10:39.93
What is that substance?
The, the, I'll come back
00:10:39.96\00:10:44.06
to the name it just
slipped me right off here,
00:10:44.09\00:10:45.69
it's hard to talk,
but I'll give you the name
00:10:45.72\00:10:47.34
very shortly but
it is so important,
00:10:47.37\00:10:49.58
it is so important
that these foods be part
00:10:49.61\00:10:53.08
of our diet. It
protects the DNA and if the DNA
00:10:53.11\00:10:55.80
is not protected that
means that you're gonna
00:10:55.83\00:10:57.71
be mutations or age early.
00:10:57.74\00:10:59.70
We age early, we
age early, right.
00:10:59.73\00:11:01.06
Okay, so we've talked about red,
00:11:01.09\00:11:02.36
we've talked about
yellow, anything else about
00:11:02.39\00:11:04.24
yellow before we go to green.
00:11:04.27\00:11:05.80
Just before we
go to green. Okay.
00:11:06.60\00:11:08.20
In oranges it contains,
there is a substance called
00:11:08.23\00:11:12.87
Hesperetin. Hesperetin, okay.
00:11:12.90\00:11:15.44
That's right, Hesperetin
it protects the heart.
00:11:15.47\00:11:18.18
From what? From
disease, from heart disease,
00:11:18.21\00:11:21.65
heart attacks, it
helps cleans out the inside
00:11:21.68\00:11:25.25
of the arteries.
It's cancer fighting.
00:11:25.28\00:11:27.82
I got to get a list of this,
00:11:28.56\00:11:29.53
I mean for our fruit
program and our church
00:11:29.55\00:11:31.66
is gonna help.
Okay, no question.
00:11:31.69\00:11:34.29
We're helping
people with fruit programs.
00:11:34.32\00:11:35.78
Yeah. But you can't
expect to eat it today
00:11:35.81\00:11:38.28
and get healing tomorrow.
00:11:38.31\00:11:39.71
Got to keep doing it regularly.
00:11:39.74\00:11:40.97
So you have to
start it from childhood.
00:11:41.00\00:11:43.23
Anything difference
between eating the orange
00:11:43.26\00:11:45.35
itself and orange juice?
Some things are destroyed
00:11:45.38\00:11:50.11
during the
processing of juicing.
00:11:50.14\00:11:52.20
Of juicing. Okay, so
that when you take that
00:11:52.23\00:11:55.15
and in addition you get the pulp
00:11:55.18\00:11:56.92
and the pulp act as a
roughage and that additional
00:11:57.70\00:12:01.01
roughage reduces cholesterol,
00:12:01.04\00:12:03.18
because it bangs
cholesterol and takes it
00:12:03.21\00:12:05.16
out of the body with the waste.
00:12:05.19\00:12:06.36
So, this is this is
how it protects the heart.
00:12:06.39\00:12:08.32
That's one of the
ways in which it protects
00:12:08.35\00:12:10.12
the heart. Man, so red, yellow.
00:12:10.15\00:12:12.93
So every diet
should have red and yellow
00:12:12.96\00:12:16.49
and blue,
raspberries, blueberries,
00:12:17.44\00:12:20.51
all of those and then
we talk about things like
00:12:20.54\00:12:23.96
mangoes for
those who love mangoes,
00:12:23.99\00:12:26.03
it has anticancer
effects. And this would be
00:12:26.97\00:12:29.84
considered what? Red or mangoes
00:12:29.87\00:12:32.60
are usually red.
Yellow. Usually yellow.
00:12:32.63\00:12:34.50
Yellow, yellow, okay.
Yeah. When they're ripe.
00:12:34.53\00:12:36.53
For those who are
listening and the tropical
00:12:36.56\00:12:39.37
in their orientation. Okay.
00:12:39.40\00:12:41.58
So they, so the substance
in the mangoes is called
00:12:41.61\00:12:44.96
Carotene and that
substance has cancer protection.
00:12:44.99\00:12:49.65
This is beautiful. What
about we are ready to move
00:12:50.23\00:12:52.32
to green yet? Yeah,
green is very important.
00:12:52.35\00:12:54.28
Let's talk about
green. Now green is the life
00:12:54.31\00:12:55.68
of the planet. Green okay.
00:12:55.71\00:12:58.09
It is life of
the planet. Alright.
00:12:58.12\00:12:59.42
That's why in the
spring everything around
00:12:59.45\00:13:01.18
you gets green, right. Okay.
00:13:01.21\00:13:03.25
Because the sun comes
up the light of the sun
00:13:03.28\00:13:06.52
and then it gives you
that beautiful green color.
00:13:07.06\00:13:10.04
Alright so here is our
green. Green, that's right
00:13:10.07\00:13:12.85
Green like a
pepper. That's right.
00:13:12.88\00:13:14.19
Now chlorophyll is
that is that green agent.
00:13:14.30\00:13:17.33
Now, that's the basis of food,
00:13:17.36\00:13:19.13
because
chlorophyll plus light you get
00:13:19.96\00:13:22.26
carbohydrates.
Okay. Plus oxygen.
00:13:22.29\00:13:24.76
So if you don't get
green you can't get oxygen
00:13:25.17\00:13:27.38
because the plant
give off oxygen to the air.
00:13:27.72\00:13:30.07
So you see how
important green is just from
00:13:30.80\00:13:32.77
the aspect of being green.
00:13:32.80\00:13:34.31
Let me, let me
follow that again. Sure.
00:13:34.34\00:13:35.66
If we eat green, it
gives you. Before we eat green.
00:13:35.69\00:13:38.69
Alright, before you eat it.
00:13:38.72\00:13:39.95
The plants alright,
the plant takes light.
00:13:39.98\00:13:43.54
Takes light. The green
pigment called chlorophyll
00:13:43.57\00:13:46.83
takes the light and
then takes carbon dioxide
00:13:47.26\00:13:51.35
with light it
makes carbohydrate.
00:13:52.14\00:13:54.64
Okay, so that's why.
And then it gives us oxygen
00:13:54.67\00:13:56.97
that's what you breath everyday.
00:13:57.00\00:13:58.50
Alright. Alright, so
that's why you need green
00:13:58.53\00:14:00.47
even before you
eat it you need it.
00:14:00.50\00:14:02.40
We need it because
it produces the oxygen.
00:14:02.43\00:14:04.29
It produces the
oxygen that you use.
00:14:04.32\00:14:06.39
And then once you eat
it what's it do for you?
00:14:06.42\00:14:08.46
And then once you
eat it now here where it
00:14:08.49\00:14:10.40
comes remember I
mentioned earlier
00:14:10.43\00:14:12.27
on that rats who
were fed strawberries.
00:14:12.30\00:14:16.89
Strawberries, didn't age.
00:14:16.92\00:14:18.24
And what else?
What's the green substance,
00:14:18.27\00:14:19.74
you remember the
green ones I mentioned?
00:14:19.77\00:14:21.24
Spinach. Spinach.
Yeah. That's right,
00:14:22.84\00:14:24.09
that means
you're paying attention.
00:14:24.12\00:14:25.20
So rats that were fed
spinach right were able
00:14:26.81\00:14:30.57
to go through that
aging process without aging
00:14:30.60\00:14:34.29
or the effect or
they overcome that aging
00:14:34.32\00:14:37.65
process because of
the spinach. Okay, good.
00:14:37.68\00:14:40.29
So that the substances
therefore in that spinach
00:14:40.32\00:14:44.47
is the animal in
fighting the disease process
00:14:44.50\00:14:48.28
or the aging process.
So, anything green protects
00:14:48.31\00:14:53.98
you from aging. That's right.
00:14:54.01\00:14:55.41
Anything else about green?
It decreases aging process.
00:14:55.44\00:14:57.87
Anything else about green?
Well here is what happens,
00:14:57.90\00:15:01.04
now there are some substances
00:15:02.15\00:15:04.04
let's see like the
watercress. Watercress.
00:15:04.48\00:15:07.26
Watercress, that your
make. It's green isn't it?
00:15:07.29\00:15:09.87
Yes, it is. Okay.
And the watercress itself
00:15:09.90\00:15:12.32
when you if you take
it you know it acts as
00:15:12.35\00:15:14.14
a diuretic. It does.
Yeah, so it makes you,
00:15:14.17\00:15:17.60
it gets rid of.
Pollution. Pollution
00:15:17.63\00:15:20.23
and a study was
done in Minnesota,
00:15:20.68\00:15:23.35
listen what
happened and people who smoke
00:15:23.38\00:15:25.67
were fed watercress.
Okay. Guess what happens,
00:15:25.70\00:15:29.34
when they check their
urine there was a tremendous
00:15:29.37\00:15:32.47
detoxic effect of
the watercress on them.
00:15:32.50\00:15:35.63
So that it is
believed that watercress
00:15:35.66\00:15:38.46
when taken reduces lung cancer.
00:15:38.49\00:15:40.54
Is that right?
Yes, that's right.
00:15:40.57\00:15:42.36
So, it gets the
toxins out sooner.
00:15:42.39\00:15:43.89
It gets the toxins out sooner.
00:15:43.92\00:15:45.38
But the best thing is
to stop smoking probably.
00:15:45.41\00:15:46.56
Oh! yes that's the best
thing, that is definitely.
00:15:46.59\00:15:49.78
Anything else about green?
We talked about cataracts,
00:15:49.81\00:15:56.13
we didn't talked
about cataracts. Not yet.
00:15:56.16\00:15:57.76
The green decreases cataracts.
00:15:57.79\00:15:59.44
How does that work?
Alright, because in the spinach
00:15:59.47\00:16:03.97
let's say for instance it
contains a substance called
00:16:04.00\00:16:07.00
Lutein right, that substance
Lutein protects the rods
00:16:07.03\00:16:13.29
and cones of the
eyes. Those little cells.
00:16:13.32\00:16:16.31
Those little cells
right at the macular area,
00:16:16.34\00:16:19.69
the back of the eye
which is the retina,
00:16:19.72\00:16:21.47
and that substance
protects them from blindness.
00:16:22.22\00:16:26.42
So one of the things
that can reduce Macular
00:16:26.91\00:16:29.42
Degeneration is
eating a lot of spinach.
00:16:29.45\00:16:32.07
Spinach. That's right.
00:16:32.57\00:16:33.72
Man and these
are so simple things.
00:16:34.30\00:16:36.06
And also yellow corn
too. Yellow corn too.
00:16:36.09\00:16:37.61
Yellow corn,
yes, so yellow corn,
00:16:37.64\00:16:40.17
spinach all of these
green things can reduce things
00:16:40.20\00:16:44.39
like macular
degeneration. We're talking with
00:16:44.42\00:16:46.85
Dr. Victor Herry, we're
talking about the colors of
00:16:46.88\00:16:49.69
food red, yellow,
black or white all precious
00:16:49.72\00:16:53.53
in his sight,
we've heard that sign,
00:16:53.56\00:16:55.41
but we're seeing
that it's really true,
00:16:55.44\00:16:57.03
when we come back
we're going to look at blue
00:16:57.06\00:16:59.12
and other colors and I
know you want to join us.
00:16:59.15\00:17:01.65
Are you confused about
the endless stream of new
00:17:04.44\00:17:07.40
and often contradictory
health information with
00:17:07.43\00:17:10.49
companies trying to sell
new drugs and special interest
00:17:10.52\00:17:13.41
companies trying to sell
new groups paying for studies
00:17:13.44\00:17:14.60
that spin the fact, when
can you find a common sense
00:17:14.63\00:17:17.84
approach to health.
One way is to ask for your
00:17:17.87\00:17:20.50

00:17:59.18\00:18:01.77
Welcome back we've been
talking Dr. Victor Herry,
00:18:04.23\00:18:06.57
we're talking about
the foods and their colors
00:18:06.60\00:18:10.17
and we've talked about
red, we've talked about yellow,
00:18:10.20\00:18:13.13
we've talked about
green. We got to press on
00:18:13.16\00:18:15.60
but anything else you
want to mention about green.
00:18:15.63\00:18:17.99
Yeah, I want to
mention, I began by saying that
00:18:18.02\00:18:21.89
spinach contains a
substance called Lutein
00:18:21.92\00:18:25.77
and that Lutein
protects. The eye.
00:18:26.58\00:18:29.10
The back of the eyes, right,
now there are three groups
00:18:29.13\00:18:32.33
of people that's important
to, number one is women
00:18:32.36\00:18:36.17
they should eat
a lot of spinach.
00:18:36.20\00:18:38.02
Okay, number two is people
with blue eyes. Blue eyes.
00:18:38.53\00:18:41.95
And the reason for
that is that people
00:18:41.98\00:18:43.80
who have blue eyes, the ray
of light blue is destructive
00:18:43.83\00:18:48.69
to the back of the eyes
and so by eating a lot of
00:18:48.72\00:18:51.78
spinach, what it does
it protects the back of the
00:18:51.81\00:18:56.66
eye, because of the
light rays you know it acts
00:18:56.69\00:18:59.60
like a sunglasses. I
see. So by eating spinach
00:18:59.63\00:19:02.61
you are actually
putting on your sunglasses
00:19:02.64\00:19:04.54
imagine that. I can
see all these Norwegians
00:19:04.57\00:19:06.77
going right now
to the super market.
00:19:06.80\00:19:08.48
That's right, I'm getting this.
00:19:08.51\00:19:09.49
So, so these are the
three groups of people,
00:19:10.68\00:19:13.02
people who have a
family history of macular
00:19:13.05\00:19:14.66
degeneration, women.
And why women especially?
00:19:14.69\00:19:17.88
Women because they use
Lutein very little of it.
00:19:17.91\00:19:21.54
Okay and so they need a
lot of it to protect them.
00:19:21.57\00:19:24.58
Okay. So, we talk
about people with macular
00:19:24.61\00:19:27.00
degeneration, I
mentioned women and people with
00:19:27.03\00:19:29.99
blue eyes, these are
the three groups of people
00:19:30.02\00:19:31.88
who are important.
Speaking the blue then
00:19:31.91\00:19:33.35
let's move to the
color blue. I think we have
00:19:33.38\00:19:35.15
something here there
that's kind of blue maybe.
00:19:35.18\00:19:37.42
Yes, that's
important that's an egg plant.
00:19:37.45\00:19:40.50
Yeah. Now the egg
plant is anti-inflammatory.
00:19:40.53\00:19:43.88
Alright. Okay and if
you notice we were told a
00:19:43.91\00:19:47.84
lot because of
inflammation and now there are
00:19:47.87\00:19:50.07
some studies done
which shows that the increase
00:19:50.10\00:19:53.00
of inflammation in the
body make you at risk for
00:19:53.03\00:19:55.78
heart disease and all
of that. So by eating some
00:19:55.81\00:19:58.68
of those blue things
like the blueberries,
00:19:58.71\00:20:01.01
the egg plant, they're
antihistaminic in nature,
00:20:01.04\00:20:04.09
they're anti-inflammatory,
in addition to the Vitamin C
00:20:04.12\00:20:07.32
and the Vitamin A
that they contain,
00:20:07.35\00:20:09.52
so you get added
benefit. So, eating those blue
00:20:09.55\00:20:13.28
things, yes, they
protect against the inflammatory
00:20:13.31\00:20:16.28
process and you're
saying this as an allergist
00:20:16.31\00:20:18.95
and an immunologist
right, you have a little bit of
00:20:18.98\00:20:21.03
training in that. Yes,
the inflammation within the
00:20:21.06\00:20:23.93
body system you
know that within the,
00:20:23.96\00:20:26.88
within the vessels
of the body you develop
00:20:26.91\00:20:29.89
inflammation. It is
that inflammatory process
00:20:29.92\00:20:32.87
that results in the
formation of atherosclerosis,
00:20:32.90\00:20:36.32
it's all
inflammation here. Alright.
00:20:37.03\00:20:38.93
Okay and so by
eating these foods,
00:20:38.96\00:20:42.14
what it does, it
decreases that process
00:20:42.17\00:20:45.25
and so as a result
protects the heart.
00:20:46.08\00:20:48.19
Anything about arthritis?
Does this help or not?
00:20:48.22\00:20:51.81
Well, cherries do
yes, cherries do because
00:20:51.84\00:20:54.31
they're also anti-inflammatory
00:20:54.34\00:20:55.72
and these do too.
Cherries and eggplant
00:20:55.75\00:20:58.94
and blueberries,
anything else about blue.
00:20:58.97\00:21:01.26
What about
blueberries? We just mentioned
00:21:01.29\00:21:03.78
that they're anti-inflammatory.
00:21:03.81\00:21:05.31
Do they help with your memory?
00:21:05.34\00:21:06.31
Some people told me
they help with your memory.
00:21:06.32\00:21:07.64
Well by eating a lot of
them they have some of the
00:21:07.67\00:21:10.79
similar things that
strawberries do have
00:21:10.82\00:21:13.31
and so they
have, because the rats,
00:21:13.80\00:21:15.40
if you remember the
story of the rats then you
00:21:15.43\00:21:17.05
remember that they do help you.
00:21:17.08\00:21:19.35
Okay and then
moving, moving on to purple,
00:21:19.38\00:21:22.42
anything with
purple? Purple, the grapes,
00:21:22.45\00:21:24.38
you can't forget concord grapes
00:21:24.41\00:21:26.13
and all of those
grapes that remember,
00:21:26.16\00:21:29.10
if you if you if
you've been hearing
00:21:29.13\00:21:31.08
a lot about grapes
and protecting the heart,
00:21:31.11\00:21:35.04
yeah how does that
work? That, because of the
00:21:35.07\00:21:39.57
antioxidants contained in there,
00:21:39.60\00:21:41.93
it's heart protective.
So, grapes and all of these
00:21:41.96\00:21:46.42
substances do
protect the heart. Orange?
00:21:46.45\00:21:49.58
Orange is the
yellow. The yellow oranges,
00:21:50.31\00:21:52.56
the Ellargic acid in
them, those help to protect.
00:21:52.59\00:21:56.23
Well, you have
listed here also then brown.
00:21:56.65\00:21:58.77
Brown foods, you know
well we could talk about
00:21:59.54\00:22:01.91
chocolate, cocoa,
okay, that contains
00:22:01.94\00:22:06.26
antioxidants again.
Okay. And so that protects.
00:22:06.29\00:22:10.79
So chocolate it
protects you, this is good news
00:22:11.48\00:22:13.58
for people listening.
Yeah it's a good source
00:22:13.61\00:22:15.78
of antioxidants. Is that right?
00:22:15.81\00:22:17.91
Yeah. So, are there
any downsides to chocolate.
00:22:17.94\00:22:20.93
Well you know it
contains Theobromine,
00:22:20.96\00:22:23.28
and it can increase
your heart rate and those
00:22:23.31\00:22:25.04
kinds of things but
it does contain a lot of
00:22:25.07\00:22:27.79
antioxidants. Okay, so
in what form would you say,
00:22:27.82\00:22:31.06
what about carob is that brown.
00:22:31.09\00:22:32.55
Would it be considered brown.
00:22:32.58\00:22:33.63
No, I have not
studied the carob,
00:22:33.66\00:22:35.04
so I wouldn't be able
to answer your question,
00:22:35.07\00:22:36.61
but carob is brown
and I'm sure that carob
00:22:36.64\00:22:39.06
does have some
protective things in them,
00:22:39.09\00:22:41.84
but that's my
ad-libbed. Well, what about
00:22:41.87\00:22:44.79
antiseptics you have done here,
00:22:44.82\00:22:46.93
what is that all
about? Now, there are some
00:22:46.96\00:22:48.77
foods that kill
bacteria and protect the body.
00:22:48.80\00:22:55.12
They protect the
skin, so that you can
00:22:55.66\00:22:57.40
and I say foods
because take for instance the
00:22:57.87\00:23:01.42
cucumber. Okay. We
refer to the cucumber
00:23:01.45\00:23:03.98
as a food but the
cucumber can you used
00:23:04.01\00:23:07.87
externally as
and also internally.
00:23:07.90\00:23:10.98
As an antiseptic.
Anti means like sepsis.
00:23:11.01\00:23:14.54
Yeah. Against
disease. Against disease,
00:23:14.57\00:23:17.04
so you can use cucumber
and put it on psoriasis?
00:23:17.07\00:23:20.24
Okay. Cut the cucumber
and literally put it on
00:23:20.79\00:23:22.58
your skin if you have
Psoriasis and over time
00:23:22.61\00:23:25.76
it can heal that
area of Psoriasis.
00:23:25.79\00:23:28.45
So psoriasis then is
as a dry skin condition
00:23:28.48\00:23:31.63
and just by rubbing
cucumber on that it can
00:23:31.66\00:23:33.82
turn around.
Over time, yes it can,
00:23:33.85\00:23:35.77
and cucumber also is a laxative,
00:23:36.25\00:23:39.63
additionally
people who have gout,
00:23:40.39\00:23:43.62
which is the increase of
the build up of uric acid
00:23:44.39\00:23:47.32
in the blood stream. By
eating a lot of cucumbers,
00:23:47.35\00:23:50.60
they can help get
rid of the uric acid.
00:23:50.63\00:23:52.47
So that's healing in
foods. So the Habsburg dynasty
00:23:52.50\00:23:56.48
that had all the gout
would have loved to hear this.
00:23:56.51\00:23:58.49
Yeah, eat of lot
cucumbers they might have been
00:23:58.52\00:24:00.62
better off
then. Okay, diuretics?
00:24:00.65\00:24:04.03
I mentioned earlier
that watercress acts as a
00:24:06.08\00:24:08.19
diuretic, okay.
They get with the smokers
00:24:08.22\00:24:10.25
and the nicotine passes
out. That's correct, right.
00:24:10.28\00:24:13.02
Cucumber too acts as a diuretic,
00:24:13.05\00:24:15.50
yeah and in addition to
that being diuretic in nature,
00:24:15.53\00:24:20.75
it also helps you get
rid of excess uric acid.
00:24:20.78\00:24:23.79
Is cucumber high in
potassium? It does contain
00:24:23.82\00:24:27.41
potassium, but it's,
that's not as this all might.
00:24:27.44\00:24:29.37
Now if you want
something that's high in
00:24:29.40\00:24:31.66
potassium would be
figs, figs high in potassium,
00:24:31.69\00:24:35.65
chestnut high in potassium.
Well, the reason I ask is
00:24:35.68\00:24:39.01
because usually
when we take diuretics
00:24:39.04\00:24:40.76
when we go to a doctor
then they have to give us
00:24:40.79\00:24:42.93
potassium supplements
and we wouldn't have that
00:24:42.96\00:24:45.90
problem if you took cucumbers.
00:24:45.93\00:24:47.33
No, no, no that's
natures way of dealing with the
00:24:47.36\00:24:50.35
body. So, if you
can't take your laxatives
00:24:50.38\00:24:52.36
or your you might actually,
or your other medication
00:24:52.39\00:24:54.28
for your heart condition
and you are in a country
00:24:54.31\00:24:56.55
eat cucumbers.
Well you know what,
00:24:56.99\00:25:00.27
eat cucumbers anyway, they are,
00:25:00.30\00:25:04.16
they are good for you. Okay.
00:25:04.19\00:25:05.82
And please take
your medication if your
00:25:06.35\00:25:07.53
hypertensive. That's
right, don't misunderstand.
00:25:07.56\00:25:10.17
That's right. What about fibers?
00:25:10.20\00:25:11.65
Now fibers are important,
fibers are important for
00:25:12.67\00:25:16.92
multiple ways. Now
apples contain the fiber
00:25:16.95\00:25:19.63
called Pectin.
Pectin. Right and pectin binds
00:25:19.66\00:25:23.72
cholesterol and
excretes it from the body.
00:25:23.75\00:25:26.34
So high fiber foods
causes proper illumination,
00:25:26.37\00:25:32.20
removes antitoxins of
toxic material from the gut
00:25:33.42\00:25:38.07
and at the same
time reduces cholesterol.
00:25:39.16\00:25:41.59
Isn't that beautiful?
Isn't that, that's wonderful.
00:25:41.91\00:25:44.10
So and fibers
are in most of these.
00:25:44.13\00:25:46.67
Yes, fruits and
vegetables, yes you eat it
00:25:46.70\00:25:48.70
and fiber does it work.
So, we've talked about red,
00:25:48.73\00:25:51.81
yellow, green, blue,
purple, brown, orange,
00:25:51.84\00:25:55.82
antiseptic foods,
diuretic foods, fiber foods.
00:25:56.37\00:25:59.96
That's right. Man you know,
00:25:59.99\00:26:01.18
you seemed to be the
most excited about this,
00:26:01.21\00:26:04.41
this subject, why is
that? I mean think about it.
00:26:05.41\00:26:09.85
If you can eat
properly and live long wouldn't
00:26:09.88\00:26:13.42
that be
something you want to do?
00:26:13.45\00:26:14.75
Sure, yeah and
that's why it's exciting.
00:26:14.78\00:26:17.57
It is less costly to
the society in the end.
00:26:17.96\00:26:20.98
So if we can train our
people to eat appropriate
00:26:21.62\00:26:25.39
foods, colorful foods,
not only I mean it looks
00:26:25.42\00:26:29.19
beautiful. You put it
on a table I mean just to
00:26:29.22\00:26:31.38
look at it, it's wonderful,
all the different colors,
00:26:31.41\00:26:34.60
if you think of the
follow, when you take your drive
00:26:34.63\00:26:37.75
out and you see all
the green and the yellow
00:26:37.78\00:26:40.05
and the brown. So,
when you think of your table
00:26:40.08\00:26:42.20
you should think of the
fall colors all of the colors
00:26:42.23\00:26:44.75
that come
together. Now you know as a
00:26:44.78\00:26:47.24
Christian physician,
do you talk about these
00:26:47.27\00:26:50.54
things to your
patients and do you bring in the
00:26:50.57\00:26:53.00
fact that God created
these. Certainly I do,
00:26:53.03\00:26:56.06
that's part of my
daily talk to the patient,
00:26:56.09\00:27:00.00
that in changing
lifestyle fruits, vegetables
00:27:00.03\00:27:04.22
and greens are very important.
00:27:04.25\00:27:06.44
It helps reduce blood pressure.
00:27:06.99\00:27:08.97
It decreases diabetes,
it promotes cancer health,
00:27:09.00\00:27:13.65
anticancer, and all
of these things I guess
00:27:13.68\00:27:17.28
that's why Adam lived so long.
00:27:17.31\00:27:18.87
We've been talking
with Dr. Victor Herry,
00:27:19.83\00:27:21.99
he is a specialist in
internal medicine in the
00:27:22.02\00:27:25.74
Washington D.C.,
area, it must be a really
00:27:25.77\00:27:28.42
a joy and
privilege to visit his office
00:27:28.45\00:27:31.26
and we thank you
very much by the way for
00:27:31.29\00:27:33.74
coming to be here with
us on Health For A Lifetime
00:27:33.77\00:27:36.06
and we hope that you
as well as you've listened
00:27:36.09\00:27:38.83
today will just go
to that supermarket,
00:27:38.86\00:27:41.26
pull out those different colors
00:27:41.29\00:27:43.06
and enjoy the
benefits, some of which you may
00:27:43.09\00:27:45.83
have not known about
some of which I am sure
00:27:45.86\00:27:48.00
we haven't covered but
all of which were created
00:27:48.03\00:27:51.38
for you, so that you can
have health well it's not
00:27:51.41\00:27:54.32
just for now but
for an entire lifetime.
00:27:54.35\00:27:55.32
