>>John Bradshaw:
This is It Is Written.
00:01:50.24\00:01:51.67
I'm John Bradshaw,
thanks for joining me.
00:01:51.71\00:01:53.81
The Bible starts with
those magnificent words:
00:01:53.84\00:01:58.05
"In the beginning God created."
00:01:58.08\00:02:01.12
The Bible says He
began by creating light,
00:02:01.15\00:02:03.28
and on He went
through creation week
00:02:03.32\00:02:04.92
making this beautiful world,
00:02:04.95\00:02:06.76
which then was far more
beautiful than it is now.
00:02:06.79\00:02:09.72
On the sixth day
God created people.
00:02:09.76\00:02:12.99
God made us to inhabit us.
00:02:13.03\00:02:16.23
We were designed to
be His dwelling place.
00:02:16.26\00:02:17.90
In fact, He
tells us in the Bible
00:02:17.93\00:02:20.10
that we are the
temple of the Holy Spirit.
00:02:20.14\00:02:23.00
However, there's
trouble in the temple.
00:02:23.04\00:02:26.21
Millions of people
die prematurely every year
00:02:26.24\00:02:29.48
from lifestyle-related diseases.
00:02:29.51\00:02:31.35
Different choices
would result in longer,
00:02:31.38\00:02:34.65
better quality
lives in many cases.
00:02:34.68\00:02:37.75
So, what can we do about
the trouble in the temple?
00:02:37.79\00:02:40.86
Are there simple
changes that we can make
00:02:40.89\00:02:43.53
so that we'd be able to
live longer, healthier lives?
00:02:43.56\00:02:45.99
Now, thankfully, there are.
00:02:46.03\00:02:48.53
I spoke with Dr. Brian Schwartz,
a cardiologist in Kettering,
00:02:48.56\00:02:51.90
Ohio, and asked him how we could
live longer and avoid disease,
00:02:51.93\00:02:56.54
especially heart disease.
00:02:56.57\00:02:58.31
¤[Music]
00:02:58.34\00:03:04.31
>>John: What else can we
say to people who are looking
00:03:04.35\00:03:05.81
to do something
about their heart health?
00:03:05.85\00:03:08.62
>>Dr. Brian Schwartz: Yeah, so
if you are a sedentary person,
00:03:08.65\00:03:10.82
you really
haven't exercised much,
00:03:10.85\00:03:13.19
then even starting the
basic level of exercise,
00:03:13.22\00:03:16.39
just simply
going out and walking.
00:03:16.42\00:03:18.69
Walking is one of the
healthiest things you can do
00:03:18.73\00:03:20.66
for your heart, but you
need to get in about 20 minutes
00:03:20.70\00:03:22.76
a minimum of three days
a week to get a benefit.
00:03:22.80\00:03:24.97
>>John: That's not too hard.
00:03:25.00\00:03:26.20
I'd like to come at this
from a slightly different angle,
00:03:26.23\00:03:29.67
'cause some people
say, "I know I'm overweight.
00:03:29.70\00:03:32.44
I know, therefore, that my
risk factors are a little high,"
00:03:32.47\00:03:37.61
but the mountain
just seems so high.
00:03:37.65\00:03:39.38
Now, you're making it sound
00:03:39.41\00:03:41.25
like from an exercise
point of view it's not undoable.
00:03:41.28\00:03:44.49
20 minutes walking, I
mean does somebody have to go
00:03:44.52\00:03:46.29
buy some $200 shoes, and
join a gym, and run everyday?
00:03:46.32\00:03:51.53
Some guy's watching us, he says,
man I need to lose 185 pounds.
00:03:51.56\00:03:56.30
And it just seems
like, too big a proposition.
00:03:56.33\00:04:01.07
Encourage that person.
00:04:01.10\00:04:02.17
>>Dr. Schwartz:
Yea, so absolutely.
00:04:02.20\00:04:03.27
It doesn't matter what
type of exercise you do,
00:04:03.30\00:04:05.71
there must be something
that you take an interest in.
00:04:05.74\00:04:08.68
Walking is one of
the very simplest things.
00:04:08.71\00:04:10.65
It doesn't require
expensive equipment;
00:04:10.68\00:04:12.55
it doesn't
require a gym membership.
00:04:12.58\00:04:14.52
If you've got
sleet and rain and snow,
00:04:14.55\00:04:18.09
you can go walk at a local mall,
00:04:18.12\00:04:19.82
but you can get out and
walk for just 20 or 30 minutes.
00:04:19.85\00:04:22.32
Now, ideally we'd like you
to walk for at least 30 minutes,
00:04:22.36\00:04:24.99
five days a week.
00:04:25.03\00:04:26.29
That seems to give the
best benefit to the heart.
00:04:26.33\00:04:28.53
>>John: But you're
saying, start somewhere.
00:04:28.56\00:04:29.86
>>Dr. Schwartz: A minimum of
20 minutes, three days a week,
00:04:29.90\00:04:31.80
still gives you a
great benefit to your heart.
00:04:31.83\00:04:34.50
And also for
people that are thinking,
00:04:34.54\00:04:36.04
"you know what I'm
100 pounds overweight,
00:04:36.07\00:04:37.54
I can't possibly
get that all down."
00:04:37.57\00:04:39.74
Just losing 20 pounds will often
drop the blood pressure by about
00:04:39.77\00:04:42.98
10 points and drop the bad
cholesterol by about 10 points.
00:04:43.01\00:04:46.82
Just losing 20 pounds may
drop your risk of a heart attack
00:04:46.85\00:04:49.85
by nearly half, just by
getting some of the weight down.
00:04:49.88\00:04:52.95
You don't even have to
get to the ideal range.
00:04:52.99\00:04:55.52
So, just starting to
do some of these things.
00:04:55.56\00:04:58.33
I myself am a vegetarian.
00:04:58.36\00:05:00.43
I tell my patients,
00:05:00.46\00:05:01.26
I don't expect you
to do everything I do,
00:05:01.30\00:05:03.00
but the closer
you get to doing that,
00:05:03.03\00:05:04.73
the better off you're gonna be.
00:05:04.77\00:05:06.10
>>John: Is meat really that bad?
00:05:06.13\00:05:08.00
I mean, this is America, man.
00:05:08.04\00:05:10.17
We were raised killing
animals and eating them.
00:05:10.21\00:05:12.64
>>Dr. Schwartz: Exactly right.
00:05:12.67\00:05:13.64
Well, we are learning
that there are all kinds
00:05:13.68\00:05:16.81
of consequences to eating meat.
00:05:16.85\00:05:19.25
Environmental
impacts, health impacts,
00:05:19.28\00:05:22.18
a lot of the problems with
global warming can be traced
00:05:22.22\00:05:24.59
to the factory farms that
we do to get all this meat.
00:05:24.62\00:05:28.32
There was an article in
"Newsweek" last year showing
00:05:28.36\00:05:30.73
that Americans eat 4 times more
meat than the rest of the world.
00:05:30.76\00:05:34.10
You said we grew up eating meat,
00:05:34.13\00:05:37.03
but it didn't used to be that we
had meat with every single meal.
00:05:37.07\00:05:39.50
Now, you have meat with
breakfast, lunch, and supper.
00:05:39.53\00:05:42.40
Meat has become
the staple of our diet.
00:05:42.44\00:05:44.91
Just reducing it
to an occasional thing
00:05:44.94\00:05:47.94
would be very healthy.
00:05:47.98\00:05:49.48
Eliminating it altogether,
though, would be fantastic.
00:05:49.51\00:05:52.31
Meat is calorie-packed;
it's full of saturated fat,
00:05:52.35\00:05:56.62
especially red meats.
00:05:56.65\00:05:58.72
We now know from
studies that have been published
00:05:58.75\00:06:02.06
that it increases your
risk for certain cancers.
00:06:02.09\00:06:05.06
And when you
compare groups of people
00:06:05.09\00:06:07.23
that are vegetarian
versus non-vegetarian,
00:06:07.23\00:06:09.36
the vegetarians live
7 up to 10 years longer
00:06:09.40\00:06:12.80
than non-vegetarians.
00:06:12.83\00:06:13.90
>>John: I think
that's worth repeating.
00:06:13.94\00:06:15.80
When you compare vegetarians
with non-vegetarians,
00:06:15.84\00:06:18.01
the vegetarians are living
as long as a decade longer.
00:06:18.04\00:06:20.44
>>Dr. Schwartz: Up
to a decade longer.
00:06:20.48\00:06:21.81
>>John: And you didn't say
you must get rid of it all.
00:06:21.84\00:06:24.48
You said, if you
can't go that far,
00:06:24.51\00:06:27.32
cut it back so it's
just an occasional thing.
00:06:27.35\00:06:29.55
>>Dr. Schwartz: Yeah, I
try to practice the ideal,
00:06:29.58\00:06:31.92
and even then, there's
things that I can do better.
00:06:31.95\00:06:34.36
All of us have to make choices.
00:06:34.39\00:06:35.89
Sometimes I'm on a trip
00:06:35.92\00:06:37.66
and I pick the
best choice that I have.
00:06:37.69\00:06:40.16
But as far as possible,
I try to set the ideal.
00:06:40.20\00:06:44.07
I don't always get my 4
days a week of exercise in,
00:06:44.10\00:06:47.07
but I try to do that.
00:06:47.10\00:06:49.44
I live in a stressful
world just like everybody else.
00:06:49.47\00:06:53.21
I have a very
stressful job sometimes.
00:06:53.24\00:06:54.88
I get called in the
middle of the night to come in
00:06:54.91\00:06:57.31
and treat patients with a
heart disease and heart attacks,
00:06:57.35\00:06:59.81
and I have to just
drop everything and run in.
00:06:59.85\00:07:02.28
That interferes
with your daily life,
00:07:02.32\00:07:03.89
so we try to do
these the best we can.
00:07:03.92\00:07:06.39
We have to start
somewhere and work toward it,
00:07:06.42\00:07:09.32
so just giving up
red meat is a big goal.
00:07:09.36\00:07:12.16
I tell my patients, if you
don't want to be a vegetarian,
00:07:12.19\00:07:14.60
just eating fish or chicken
that's been baked or broiled
00:07:14.63\00:07:16.97
is better than
eating the red meat.
00:07:17.00\00:07:19.67
But, if you want to
give up fish and chicken
00:07:19.70\00:07:21.50
and eat a plant-based diet,
that shows the maximal benefit.
00:07:21.54\00:07:24.77
Then there are vegetarians
who decide to give up all dairy
00:07:24.81\00:07:28.21
and become vegan vegetarians,
00:07:28.24\00:07:29.81
and that seems to
have even a better benefit.
00:07:29.84\00:07:32.05
They live even longer and
have less risk of heart disease,
00:07:32.08\00:07:34.98
less risk of cancer,
00:07:35.02\00:07:36.82
less risk of a lot of these
diseases that we suffer under.
00:07:36.85\00:07:40.36
>>John: Jesus said
He came into the world
00:07:41.79\00:07:43.56
to give us a more abundant life.
00:07:43.59\00:07:45.89
And you can have that
by making simple changes
00:07:45.93\00:07:48.00
that bring profound results.
00:07:48.03\00:07:49.93
And with that in mind, I'd like
to offer you a special book.
00:07:49.96\00:07:52.30
It's called,
“Confidence in Chaos.”
00:07:52.33\00:07:54.60
If you want to get
your heart right with God,
00:07:54.64\00:07:56.24

There's trouble in
the temple, the Bible says
00:08:47.26\00:08:49.52
our bodies are the
"temple of the Holy Spirit,”
00:08:49.56\00:08:51.49
but thankfully God has
given us, in many cases,
00:08:51.53\00:08:54.56
ways that we can
reverse that trouble.
00:08:54.56\00:08:56.67
Here's more with my
discussion with cardiologist,
00:08:56.70\00:08:59.67
Dr. Brian Schwartz.
00:08:59.70\00:09:01.30
¤[Music]
00:09:01.34\00:09:07.51
>>John: Exercise, diet, if we
make some modifications there,
00:09:07.54\00:09:12.88
we will benefit
our heart health.
00:09:12.91\00:09:15.82
And in a, in a life, in a
nation where heart disease
00:09:15.85\00:09:18.92
is the number one
killer, this is pretty serious.
00:09:18.95\00:09:21.39
>>Dr. Schwartz: This is huge.
00:09:21.42\00:09:22.22
>>John: What
else can a person do?
00:09:22.26\00:09:24.36
>>Dr. Schwartz: If
you've optimized your diet,
00:09:24.39\00:09:26.39
you've optimized your exercise,
00:09:26.43\00:09:29.26
you definitely
want, if you smoke,
00:09:29.30\00:09:30.80
you want to give up
smoking, that's huge.
00:09:30.83\00:09:32.77
Do the simple
things that you can do.
00:09:32.80\00:09:35.04
There is still a role for
medications, in some instances.
00:09:35.07\00:09:37.84
If you have a
very high cholesterol
00:09:37.87\00:09:40.98
after going on a
careful low-fat diet,
00:09:41.01\00:09:44.18
then it might be
reasonable to add a medication.
00:09:44.21\00:09:47.05
What is a concern is,
00:09:47.08\00:09:48.62
I have patients literally
come in to my office and say,
00:09:48.65\00:09:51.15
"Hey, I want that pill
I saw advertised on TV."
00:09:51.19\00:09:53.96
>>John: What's wrong with that?
00:09:53.99\00:09:55.02
>>Dr. Schwartz: And I
say, well what pill is that?
00:09:55.06\00:09:56.26
They say, "You know,
the one that I can still eat
00:09:56.29\00:09:58.03
my chocolate cake,
00:09:58.06\00:09:59.39
and I just take the pill and
it neutralizes the cholesterol."
00:09:59.43\00:10:03.16
That seems to be a problem,
00:10:03.20\00:10:04.33
because we're not
dealing with the root cause.
00:10:04.37\00:10:06.20
The root cause is
partly our genetics
00:10:06.23\00:10:08.64
but largely what we're eating.
00:10:08.67\00:10:10.67
Some of us have missed the boat
on preventing heart disease.
00:10:10.71\00:10:13.27
We've already had heart surgery,
we've already had a stint,
00:10:13.31\00:10:15.54
we already have
angina when we walk.
00:10:15.58\00:10:17.81
But the good news now is,
00:10:17.85\00:10:19.05
by implementing these simple
measures, you can reverse that.
00:10:19.08\00:10:22.75
If you've had one heart
attack, you can prevent yourself
00:10:22.78\00:10:25.82
from ever having
another heart attack.
00:10:25.85\00:10:27.26
If you've had heart surgery,
00:10:27.29\00:10:28.99
by following simple lifestyle
changes, you can prevent
00:10:29.02\00:10:32.46
the need for ever having to
go through that process again.
00:10:32.49\00:10:36.46
People that are having angina,
that need to have heart surgery,
00:10:36.50\00:10:42.84
have been placed in studies
with such as Dr. Dean Ornish
00:10:42.87\00:10:46.17
and Dr. Esselstyn up
at the Cleveland Clinic.
00:10:46.21\00:10:49.08
And the ones that go on
a very fat-limiting diet
00:10:49.11\00:10:53.62
have had reversal
of their anginal pains
00:10:53.65\00:10:55.98
in as low as two weeks.
00:10:56.02\00:10:57.59
>>John: Two weeks?
00:10:57.62\00:10:58.82
>>Dr. Schwartz: Dr. Esselstyn
has a series of 18 patients
00:10:58.85\00:11:01.22
that were
referred for heart surgery
00:11:01.26\00:11:03.06
but were turned down
because they were too high-risk
00:11:03.09\00:11:05.39
to go through the surgery.
00:11:05.43\00:11:06.86
So instead, he
took those patients,
00:11:06.90\00:11:09.06
he actually brought them to
his home where he taught them
00:11:09.10\00:11:11.43
how to eat a plant-based diet
00:11:11.47\00:11:13.47
that emphasizes
absolutely no fat.
00:11:13.50\00:11:16.74
In following those patients
over the last 15-20 years,
00:11:16.77\00:11:19.91
not a single one
of those patients
00:11:19.94\00:11:21.64
that have stuck to that diet
has ever had a heart attack.
00:11:21.68\00:11:23.88
>>John: Yet they were
too sick to have surgery.
00:11:23.91\00:11:27.05
In other words,
they were left to die.
00:11:27.08\00:11:28.75
>>Dr. Schwartz: They
were left with no hope
00:11:28.78\00:11:30.22
from the medical community.
00:11:30.25\00:11:31.35
>>John: And now they're well.
00:11:31.39\00:11:34.16
>>Dr. Schwartz: They
may still have some plaques
00:11:34.19\00:11:35.52
in their arteries, but they're
not having anginal pains,
00:11:35.56\00:11:38.23
they're not
having heart attacks,
00:11:38.26\00:11:40.06
they're following
a very careful diet,
00:11:40.10\00:11:41.86
they're exercising,
00:11:41.90\00:11:42.80
but they're
healthier now than they were
00:11:42.83\00:11:44.93
when they were first diagnosed.
00:11:44.97\00:11:46.17
>>John: Is there
anything dangerous.
00:11:46.20\00:11:49.40
You know, somebody says,
00:11:49.44\00:11:50.41
"Well, I'm going to
take some of this on board,
00:11:50.44\00:11:53.74
but maybe my doctor,
he or she might advise..."
00:11:53.78\00:11:57.85
you're not talking
about anything that has any
00:11:57.88\00:12:01.08
danger attached to it, are you?
00:12:01.12\00:12:02.35
>>Dr. Schwartz: Yes, if you have
heart disease and you're getting
00:12:02.38\00:12:05.29
daily anginal chest pains,
00:12:05.32\00:12:06.99
then you should
consult with your physician
00:12:07.02\00:12:08.59
before you start a
vigorous exercise program.
00:12:08.62\00:12:11.56
If you're diabetic,
00:12:11.59\00:12:12.69
you need to make sure you
monitor your blood sugars.
00:12:12.73\00:12:15.76
And if you're even thinking
about changing your diet
00:12:15.80\00:12:18.93
and reducing your medications,
00:12:18.97\00:12:20.30
you need to do that in
cohort with your physician,
00:12:20.34\00:12:23.54
with his advice or her advice.
00:12:23.57\00:12:27.48
Some people will still need to
be on a low level of medication,
00:12:27.51\00:12:30.75
so that has to be coordinated.
00:12:30.78\00:12:32.98
So don't just suddenly say, huh!
00:12:33.01\00:12:34.68
I'm stopping my medication,
00:12:34.72\00:12:35.92
I'm going on this
careful plant-based diet
00:12:35.95\00:12:37.89
and I'm giving it all up,
00:12:37.92\00:12:38.99
because you're
asking for trouble.
00:12:39.02\00:12:40.49
It took many, many
years to get to that point.
00:12:40.52\00:12:44.03
It's a slow process to reverse
heart disease once you have it.
00:12:44.06\00:12:47.40
>>John: Number one, nothing
dangerous about picking up
00:12:47.40\00:12:49.76
some shoes and
taking a 20-minute walk.
00:12:49.80\00:12:52.70
Nothing dangerous about
limiting the amount of unhealthy
00:12:52.73\00:12:55.57
food and increasing
the amount of healthy food.
00:12:55.60\00:12:57.67
That's healthy and
that's responsible.
00:12:57.71\00:13:00.08
>>Dr. Schwartz: Absolutely.
00:13:00.11\00:13:01.14
Unless you're actively
having symptoms right now,
00:13:01.18\00:13:03.31
you can get out and start
doing those simple measures.
00:13:03.35\00:13:05.38
>>John: However, something,
I think this adds appropriate
00:13:05.41\00:13:10.09
balance to any
discussion like this.
00:13:10.12\00:13:12.82
Rome wasn't built in a day,
00:13:12.85\00:13:14.06
just like your heart
disease didn't happen overnight.
00:13:14.09\00:13:17.43
People do need to take a medium
to long-term approach at this.
00:13:17.46\00:13:20.26
If you want to lose 150 pounds
and by this time next week
00:13:20.30\00:13:24.10
you're still 150
pounds overweight,
00:13:24.13\00:13:25.70
it's a little too
early to get discouraged.
00:13:25.73\00:13:27.74
>>Dr. Schwartz: Exactly.
00:13:27.77\00:13:28.87
Our bodies are actually
fearfully and wonderfully made.
00:13:28.90\00:13:31.67
It's amazing how much
abuse they can take for many,
00:13:31.71\00:13:34.58
many, many years
before these symptoms
00:13:34.61\00:13:36.58
actually start popping up.
00:13:36.61\00:13:38.18
I mentioned that these little
fatty streaks occur in children.
00:13:38.21\00:13:41.35
By the time
people are in their 20s,
00:13:41.38\00:13:43.15
40-50-60 percent of people have
plaque in their arteries to the
00:13:43.18\00:13:47.12
point where half of Americans
over the age of 45 have plaque.
00:13:47.16\00:13:51.39
The precursor of heart disease,
00:13:51.43\00:13:52.79
all sitting there
in their arteries.
00:13:52.83\00:13:55.13
This all occurs over many,
many years: 40-50-60 years,
00:13:55.16\00:13:59.90
so if you're setting
off to reverse this process,
00:13:59.93\00:14:03.24
it's also going to be
a very gradual process.
00:14:03.27\00:14:05.91
It's not going to all go away.
00:14:05.94\00:14:07.61
But the good news is that
even stabilizing the plaque
00:14:07.64\00:14:10.95
that's there,
preventing it from getting worse
00:14:10.98\00:14:13.18
and gradually reducing it,
00:14:13.21\00:14:14.85
you're going to start
feeling better immediately.
00:14:14.88\00:14:16.85
>>John: Is it fair to say that,
in relation to heart disease,
00:14:16.89\00:14:19.79
that there are many people,
00:14:19.82\00:14:21.22
and there'll be many
people watching us right now,
00:14:21.26\00:14:24.26
who are much
sicker than they realize?
00:14:24.29\00:14:27.00
>>Dr. Schwartz: Oh, it's
like a ticking time bomb.
00:14:27.03\00:14:28.93
So, we mentioned earlier that
for some it will be too late.
00:14:28.96\00:14:32.57
The first symptom they'll have
is a clutch of chest pain and
00:14:32.60\00:14:35.74
they'll collapse on the floor
as their heart stops beating.
00:14:35.77\00:14:38.41
>>John: And they die.
00:14:38.44\00:14:39.14
And they didn't know.
00:14:39.17\00:14:40.28
>>Dr. Schwartz: Unless
the paramedics can get to them
00:14:40.31\00:14:41.74
within 5 or 6
minutes, somebody does CPR,
00:14:41.78\00:14:44.91
get them to a
hospital where that artery
00:14:44.95\00:14:46.41
can be opened back up,
they're not going to make it.
00:14:46.45\00:14:48.35
>>John: So there are a
lot of people right now
00:14:48.38\00:14:49.75
who are in that condition
and they just don't know it.
00:14:49.78\00:14:52.52
And they're not gonna
know, they'll never know.
00:14:52.55\00:14:55.62
Their spouse might know,
their children might know,
00:14:55.66\00:14:57.49
but they'll never know because,
00:14:57.53\00:14:59.29
>>Dr. Schwartz: Their first
symptom might be that they died.
00:14:59.33\00:15:01.96
>>John: This is
something that people
00:15:02.00\00:15:02.96
really ought to take seriously.
00:15:03.00\00:15:05.33
>>Dr. Schwartz: Absolutely.
00:15:05.37\00:15:06.60
>>John: Let's talk about this
from a spiritual perspective.
00:15:06.63\00:15:09.37
Why does it even matter?
00:15:09.40\00:15:10.41
I mean, in terms
of the big picture,
00:15:10.44\00:15:16.78
we are fearfully
and wonderfully made.
00:15:16.81\00:15:18.68
In the beginning God.
00:15:18.71\00:15:19.78
On the sixth day He
made our grandparents.
00:15:19.81\00:15:24.65
How does this
matter spiritually?
00:15:24.69\00:15:26.86
Does this have any connection?
00:15:26.89\00:15:28.79
What connection does this
have to our spiritual health?
00:15:28.82\00:15:32.53
>>Dr. Schwartz: Yeah, I
think in two ways this relates.
00:15:32.56\00:15:35.03
First of all, we're
made in God's image.
00:15:35.06\00:15:36.93
We were designed to
reflect His character.
00:15:36.97\00:15:40.27
But we know that our
heart, our mind, and our bodies
00:15:40.30\00:15:44.44
is the dwelling
place of the Holy Spirit.
00:15:44.47\00:15:46.11
God wants to
communicate with us,
00:15:46.14\00:15:48.31
to dwell with us, and in order
to be able to realize that,
00:15:48.34\00:15:52.05
we need a healthy body.
00:15:52.08\00:15:54.15
Particularly the
frontal lobes of our brain
00:15:54.18\00:15:56.38
are known to be the
spiritual centers of the brain.
00:15:56.42\00:15:59.82
And things like
caffeine, like tobacco smoke,
00:15:59.85\00:16:02.42
like lack of exercises, diseases
like diabetes and heart disease,
00:16:02.46\00:16:06.63
things that impair the
blood flow to that area
00:16:06.66\00:16:08.70
are going to impair our ability
to sense spiritual things.
00:16:08.73\00:16:12.93
And, from a further standpoint,
00:16:12.97\00:16:15.37
you can wind up
being either somebody
00:16:15.40\00:16:19.87
who can be of
service to our fellow man
00:16:19.91\00:16:22.61
and be out there
able to help others,
00:16:22.64\00:16:25.25
or you can become a burden:
00:16:25.28\00:16:26.48
a burden to your family,
00:16:26.51\00:16:27.85
a burden to society because you
haven't taken care of yourself.
00:16:27.88\00:16:30.55
So, I think it's also a
matter a social responsibility.
00:16:30.59\00:16:33.32
>>John: The Bible
says that our bodies
00:16:33.36\00:16:35.69
are the temple
of the Holy Spirit.
00:16:35.72\00:16:37.03
>>Dr. Schwartz: That's right.
00:16:37.06\00:16:38.29
>>John: If that's the case, then
we should be treating them...
00:16:38.33\00:16:40.30
>>Dr. Schwartz: I believe that
God created us in a way that we
00:16:40.33\00:16:43.80
live under the same laws
that govern the whole universe.
00:16:43.83\00:16:47.64
The laws of cause and effect.
00:16:47.67\00:16:49.87
So, to a large degree
the things that we do now
00:16:49.90\00:16:53.68
might impact what
happens to us later.
00:16:53.71\00:16:56.48
Now, granted there are
things outside of our control,
00:16:56.51\00:16:58.75
and nothing can happen to
us if God does not allow it.
00:16:58.78\00:17:04.02
He ultimately
runs the whole universe
00:17:04.05\00:17:07.09
and cares about even the hairs,
00:17:07.12\00:17:08.42
knows the number of
the hairs on our head.
00:17:08.46\00:17:10.99
But we make choices,
00:17:11.03\00:17:12.29
and as those choices
are outside of God's will,
00:17:12.33\00:17:15.50
He doesn't protect us from
the consequences all the time.
00:17:15.53\00:17:18.93
There is a day in which He's
going to make all things new,
00:17:18.97\00:17:22.27
and He does forgive us
for our wrongful habits;
00:17:22.30\00:17:24.74
He does forgive for our
sins; but many times we bear the
00:17:24.77\00:17:27.54
consequences
throughout the rest of our life.

>>John: I get asked
every now and then about this:
00:18:13.62\00:18:15.79
We're saved by
grace through faith.
00:18:15.82\00:18:17.89
Right.
00:18:17.93\00:18:18.59
But then Revelation 22:12 says,
00:18:18.63\00:18:20.86
"And behold I come quickly,
00:18:20.90\00:18:22.20
and My reward is with Me
00:18:22.23\00:18:24.00
to give every man
according as his work shall be."
00:18:24.03\00:18:27.70
Sounds to some people
as though this is saying
00:18:27.74\00:18:29.34
we're not saved by
God's grace but by our works.
00:18:29.37\00:18:31.41
Now, let's look
at this carefully.
00:18:31.44\00:18:33.17
John writes that we
are judged by our works,
00:18:33.21\00:18:36.18
not saved by our works.
00:18:36.21\00:18:37.71
The point is that our
works, how we live our lives,
00:18:37.75\00:18:41.18
demonstrate or give
evidence regarding the reality
00:18:41.22\00:18:43.89
of our profession.
00:18:43.92\00:18:45.49
Anyone at all can claim
to be a follower of Jesus,
00:18:45.52\00:18:48.72
but it isn't what you
say that really matters.
00:18:48.76\00:18:50.99
It's how you live.
00:18:51.03\00:18:52.53
That's where the
evidence really is.
00:18:52.56\00:18:54.40
In the judgment, it isn't just
a profession God is looking for.
00:18:54.46\00:18:57.73
He's looking for the real thing.
00:18:57.77\00:19:00.24

00:19:06.88\00:19:12.91
>>John: This is a subject
that comes close to home for me,
00:19:12.95\00:19:15.08
because my own
father had heart disease,
00:19:15.12\00:19:16.92
had open-heart surgery,
00:19:16.95\00:19:18.22
congestive heart failure
and died from a heart attack,
00:19:18.25\00:19:21.32
which, if we want to be honest
about it, was preventable.
00:19:21.36\00:19:24.83
It was a result of his
own lifestyle choices that
00:19:24.86\00:19:27.30
accumulated over many years, and
eventually the lights went out
00:19:27.30\00:19:31.27
and Dad was gone, when he
could still be here today.
00:19:31.30\00:19:34.27
>>Dr. Schwartz: And
that's the tragedy in families,
00:19:34.30\00:19:35.60
is that so many
lives are cut short.
00:19:35.64\00:19:39.01
I have patients that come
into my office and they'll say,
00:19:39.04\00:19:42.08
"You know, I don't want to
give up that part of my diet.
00:19:42.11\00:19:44.78
I don't want to quit smoking,
because it's not the quantity
00:19:44.81\00:19:48.62
I'm looking at,
it's the quality."
00:19:48.65\00:19:49.95
And in reality they
don't realize that those last
00:19:49.98\00:19:53.09
15-20 years, what
it's going to be like.
00:19:53.12\00:19:55.06
What is it going to
be like to their family,
00:19:55.09\00:19:56.42
to have their life cut
short and for the family
00:19:56.46\00:19:58.39
to go on without them,
00:19:58.43\00:19:59.83
when they could have
been there for that graduation
00:19:59.86\00:20:01.56
or for that wedding.
00:20:01.60\00:20:02.83
What's it like when
they're smothering to death
00:20:02.86\00:20:04.80
with congestive heart
failure those last few years.
00:20:04.83\00:20:07.04
Or, when they're trying to smoke
a cigarette through a trach,
00:20:07.07\00:20:11.51
because they have
such bad lung disease.
00:20:11.54\00:20:15.68
They're trading both the
length as well as the quality
00:20:15.71\00:20:18.65
when they choose these habits.
00:20:18.68\00:20:20.35
>>John: Alcohol must factor
into heart disease somehow.
00:20:20.38\00:20:23.22
How does it play a part?
00:20:23.25\00:20:24.89
>>Dr. Schwartz: It does.
00:20:24.92\00:20:25.95
There's a lot of mixed
reviews in the literature
00:20:25.99\00:20:28.56
about having a glass of
wine to help your heart.
00:20:28.59\00:20:31.53
>>John: Oh yes,
we've all heard that.
00:20:31.56\00:20:32.86
>>Dr. Schwartz: It
gets a lot of press.
00:20:32.89\00:20:34.73
Interestingly, the studies that
have most carefully looked at
00:20:34.73\00:20:38.43
that, it turns out
it's probably not the
00:20:38.47\00:20:40.77
actual alcohol content in
the wine that gives the benefit.
00:20:40.80\00:20:44.44
There's other
compounds that come from grapes,
00:20:44.47\00:20:47.18
other compounds in there
that might give the benefit
00:20:47.21\00:20:49.48
to the heart and
actually help you raise
00:20:49.51\00:20:50.98
those good cholesterols
and help be protected.
00:20:51.01\00:20:53.75
Not necessarily
the alcohol content.
00:20:53.78\00:20:55.95
So, the thinking is,
the benefit in the alcohol,
00:20:55.98\00:20:59.32
and it's red wine
that we often hear about,
00:20:59.35\00:21:02.06
what we're hearing is that
what's helpful about red wine
00:21:02.09\00:21:04.13
isn't the wine so
much as the resveratrol.
00:21:04.16\00:21:06.86
Which you find in
grapes and grape juice.
00:21:06.90\00:21:09.20
>>Dr. Schwartz: You
can get the same benefit
00:21:09.23\00:21:10.20
from drinking grape juice.
00:21:10.23\00:21:12.13
That's right.
00:21:12.17\00:21:13.20
And alcohol also has a
toxic effect on the heart.
00:21:13.23\00:21:16.14
And because alcohol has so
many other deleterious effects
00:21:16.17\00:21:19.84
on society, on our livers,
on the rest of our health,
00:21:19.87\00:21:23.31
I don't recommend
it for my patients.
00:21:23.35\00:21:25.05
>>John: Let's talk for a minute
about congestive heart failure,
00:21:25.08\00:21:27.72
which my dad had and so
many other people's dads have.
00:21:27.75\00:21:32.99
What is it, and
how does it come about?
00:21:33.02\00:21:35.12
>>Dr. Schwartz: Okay.
00:21:35.16\00:21:36.09
So congestive heart
failure is a term that's
00:21:36.12\00:21:38.16
thrown around out there,
00:21:38.19\00:21:39.16
but it actually
occurs from a cardiomyopathy.
00:21:39.19\00:21:41.93
Something that damages
the heart muscle itself.
00:21:41.96\00:21:44.87
So, the heart is
about the size of our fist.
00:21:44.90\00:21:47.20
It squeezes the blood.
00:21:47.24\00:21:50.04
In fact, it pumps almost close
to a million gallons of blood
00:21:50.07\00:21:54.38
every single year.
00:21:54.41\00:21:55.74
It does an
incredible amount of work.
00:21:55.78\00:21:57.98
That little muscle only
has about a half-second to rest
00:21:58.01\00:22:02.78
in between every beat.
00:22:02.82\00:22:04.45
But when you get
a cardiomyopathy,
00:22:04.49\00:22:06.05
when the muscle
itself is affected,
00:22:06.09\00:22:08.29
the heart begins to stretch out.
00:22:08.32\00:22:10.13
It can't squeeze with such
vigorous contractions each time.
00:22:10.16\00:22:14.76
That leads to
congestive heart failure.
00:22:14.83\00:22:17.10
The symptoms of congestive
heart failure are often
00:22:17.13\00:22:19.83
the feeling of smothering.
00:22:19.87\00:22:20.94
I can't catch my
breath, I can't lie down flat.
00:22:20.97\00:22:24.17
You start retaining fluid.
00:22:24.21\00:22:25.54
The fluid
builds up in your lungs
00:22:25.57\00:22:27.01
and makes your lungs stiff, and
that's why you can't breathe.
00:22:27.04\00:22:29.64
Fluid may build up in your legs,
and so your legs start to swell.
00:22:29.68\00:22:32.65
You might have to let out a
couple of inches on your belt,
00:22:32.68\00:22:35.78
because you're retaining fluid.
00:22:35.82\00:22:37.09
Those are all signs of
congestive heart failure.
00:22:37.12\00:22:39.19
>>John: What can
be done about it?
00:22:39.22\00:22:41.96
>>Dr. Schwartz: Congestive
heart failure can be prevented.
00:22:41.99\00:22:44.99
The number one cause of
congestive heart failure
00:22:45.03\00:22:47.00
in the United States is
coronary artery disease,
00:22:47.03\00:22:50.50
which we've talked about.
00:22:50.53\00:22:51.70
Around the world
there are other causes:
00:22:51.73\00:22:53.30
nutrituional deficiencies,
00:22:53.34\00:22:56.04
viruses can cause a
cardiomyopathy or a weak heart.
00:22:56.07\00:22:59.34
Your own body's immune
system can react to the heart.
00:22:59.37\00:23:03.11
Parasites can affect the heart,
00:23:03.14\00:23:06.48
and alcohol is actually known to
be toxic to the heart as well.
00:23:06.51\00:23:10.45
What can be done?
00:23:10.49\00:23:13.32
If it's due to heart disease,
00:23:13.36\00:23:14.52
by restoring the
blood flow to the heart,
00:23:14.56\00:23:17.06
either by reversing the
plaque through aggressive
00:23:17.09\00:23:19.43
lifestyle changes
that we've talked about.
00:23:19.46\00:23:21.30
By putting in a stent, or going
through open heart surgery,
00:23:21.33\00:23:23.93
can help that
muscle get more blood
00:23:23.97\00:23:26.33
and it can start to
beat more vigorously.
00:23:26.37\00:23:28.64
That can be very helpful.
00:23:28.67\00:23:30.17
For the cases where a
virus affects the heart,
00:23:30.21\00:23:32.64
fortunately about half the time
that'll get better on it's own.
00:23:32.67\00:23:35.61
Of the other half,
00:23:35.64\00:23:36.54
about a quarter of
them will not get better
00:23:36.58\00:23:38.81
and might require
a heart transplant.
00:23:38.85\00:23:40.78
And a quarter respond
very well to medications.
00:23:40.82\00:23:44.15
>>John: The old says,
an ounce of prevention
00:23:44.19\00:23:46.19
is worth a pound of cure,
or bigger than a pound of cure.
00:23:46.22\00:23:49.59
>>Dr. Schwartz: Absolutely.
00:23:49.62\00:23:50.49
>>John: I imagine
that you would say,
00:23:50.53\00:23:53.60
the best way to
treat heart disease
00:23:53.63\00:23:55.53
is to avoid heart disease.
00:23:55.56\00:23:56.97
>>Dr. Schwartz: Absolutely.
00:23:57.00\00:23:58.30
I believe that in my practice
00:23:58.33\00:23:59.83
close to 90 percent of the cases
of congestive heart failure,
00:23:59.87\00:24:03.20
90 percent of the cases
of coronary artery disease,
00:24:03.24\00:24:07.31
are brought on
by our poor choices.
00:24:07.34\00:24:10.68
There are some people that
do absolutely everything right.
00:24:10.71\00:24:13.78
We still live in a
sinful world where,
00:24:13.82\00:24:15.82
regardless of living
well, living healthy,
00:24:15.85\00:24:18.42
they can still
suffer from heart disease.
00:24:18.45\00:24:20.59
But that's not the average case.
00:24:20.62\00:24:22.82
>>John: Caffeine.
00:24:22.86\00:24:24.36
Let's talk about caffeine
00:24:24.39\00:24:25.59
in relation to the
heart of one's health.
00:24:25.63\00:24:27.60
>>Dr. Schwartz: Personally,
I don't drink caffeine.
00:24:27.60\00:24:29.90
That puts me in a very
small minority of people.
00:24:29.93\00:24:33.84
People feel generally
that they're more awake
00:24:33.87\00:24:36.10
and more alert when they
drink their cup of coffee
00:24:36.14\00:24:38.47
every morning or have
a caffeinated beverage.
00:24:38.51\00:24:40.44
>>John: Well, we have these
energy drinks that'll give you
00:24:40.48\00:24:42.91
a jolt of energy
for 2-3-4-5 hours.
00:24:42.94\00:24:45.11
And it's just a caffeine blast.
00:24:45.15\00:24:46.51
>>Dr. Schwartz: It's a lot
of sugar and a lot of caffeine.
00:24:46.55\00:24:49.05
Both of those
cause an immediate spike,
00:24:49.08\00:24:51.89
but then it tapers off quickly
and you're probably actually
00:24:51.92\00:24:55.72
at a lower level of
alertness after the fact,
00:24:55.76\00:24:58.76
than when you first took it.
00:24:58.79\00:25:02.46
Because of that, it causes
you to want to do another one
00:25:02.50\00:25:05.40
so you can feel better again.
00:25:05.43\00:25:06.63
And so you're constantly in
the cycle of feeling like hmm,
00:25:06.67\00:25:08.97
I'm not feeling quite so alert.
00:25:09.00\00:25:10.64
I need to take
another caffeinated beverage
00:25:10.67\00:25:12.37
or get another caffeine boost.
00:25:12.41\00:25:13.68
It turns out that, in
the studies that I've seen,
00:25:13.71\00:25:17.51
that caffeine
does make people feel
00:25:17.55\00:25:21.48
like they're a
little bit peppier.
00:25:21.52\00:25:22.82
But after they've
been on it chronically,
00:25:22.85\00:25:24.85
you're simply getting back to
a normal level of alertness by
00:25:24.89\00:25:28.52
taking the caffeine that you
would have had if you'd never
00:25:28.56\00:25:30.76
been on the
caffeine in the first place.
00:25:30.79\00:25:32.23
>>John: What does it do to your
body that's bad for your body?
00:25:32.26\00:25:34.13
>>Dr. Schwartz:
So it's a stimulant.
00:25:34.20\00:25:35.86
It is causing you, and you can
feel it if you drink a lot of
00:25:35.90\00:25:38.40
caffeine, you can
feel a little bit jittery.
00:25:38.43\00:25:41.00
And because the
muscle cells and the heart,
00:25:41.04\00:25:44.77
all of them can become
irritable at different times.
00:25:44.81\00:25:47.78
Caffeine stimulates
those other cells in the heart,
00:25:47.81\00:25:52.51
besides the natural pace
maker, to become irritable.
00:25:52.55\00:25:54.85
And they can take
over and trigger faster
00:25:54.88\00:25:56.62
than the natural pace maker.
00:25:56.65\00:25:58.02
When that happens you get a
quick little jolt in your chest.
00:25:58.05\00:26:01.36
That's what you feel
when you feel a palpitation.
00:26:01.39\00:26:03.32
>>John: So if someone is looking
to look after their heart,
00:26:03.36\00:26:06.96
you'd say caffeine's got to go.
00:26:07.00\00:26:09.00
>>Dr. Schwartz: Well,
again, it's all about choices.
00:26:09.03\00:26:11.57
So I tell all my patients
who drink a lot of caffeine
00:26:11.60\00:26:14.04
that it would be
best to limit it to
00:26:14.07\00:26:15.37
not more than one
caffeinated beverage.
00:26:15.40\00:26:17.61
But I also tell them again
that I don't drink it at all,
00:26:17.64\00:26:19.81
and I think that's the ideal.
00:26:19.84\00:26:21.01
>>John: Brian, thanks.
00:26:21.04\00:26:22.91
I really appreciate
your taking the time today.
00:26:22.94\00:26:24.81
It's been a great blessing;
you've helped a great deal and
00:26:24.85\00:26:27.75
you've given us a

>>John: Today we've
discussed that there
00:27:33.28\00:27:34.62
is trouble in the temple.
00:27:34.65\00:27:35.88
Our bodies are the
temple of the Holy Spirit.
00:27:35.92\00:27:38.99
We've also spoken not
only about the physical heart,
00:27:39.02\00:27:41.12
but the spiritual heart.
00:27:41.16\00:27:42.22
How is it with
your temple today?
00:27:42.26\00:27:45.36
If there's trouble in
the temple of your life,
00:27:45.39\00:27:47.83
I don't want you to be
surprised or discouraged,
00:27:47.86\00:27:50.03
because the Bible has
said that we're all sinners
00:27:50.07\00:27:52.70
and we all have come
short of the glory of God.
00:27:52.73\00:27:55.24
The key is not simply
admitting or discovering
00:27:55.27\00:27:58.97
that there's
trouble in the temple,
00:27:59.01\00:28:00.38
but in coming
to Jesus so that He
00:28:00.41\00:28:02.78
can do something about it.
00:28:02.81\00:28:04.25
So as we come to
Jesus in prayer right now,
00:28:04.28\00:28:06.15
I want to pray for you and with
you that He'll make everything
00:28:06.18\00:28:10.39
right in the
temple of your heart.
00:28:10.42\00:28:12.65
Let's pray.
00:28:12.69\00:28:14.56
Our Father in Heaven,
00:28:14.59\00:28:15.62
we thank You today for
Your great goodness to us.
00:28:15.66\00:28:19.73
We come to You, Lord,
00:28:19.76\00:28:20.73
asking that You
would make our heart right.
00:28:20.76\00:28:23.00
I know there are some
people sick and ailing
00:28:23.03\00:28:25.80
and they've been
diagnosed recently.
00:28:25.83\00:28:27.64
Some people struggling now
00:28:27.67\00:28:29.10
because of an
uncertain physical future.
00:28:29.14\00:28:31.31
I pray for them,
please come close to them.
00:28:31.34\00:28:34.68
Remind us again that
all of us have sinned,
00:28:34.71\00:28:36.85
we're all in this together,
00:28:36.88\00:28:38.21
and that for all of
us there is hope in You.
00:28:38.25\00:28:42.02
We thank You that You are a
God who is a God of forgiveness.
00:28:42.05\00:28:44.69
We pray with David,
create in us a clean heart.
00:28:44.72\00:28:50.16
Take our
hearts, make them Yours.
00:28:50.19\00:28:52.16
In Jesus' name we pray,
00:28:52.19\00:28:54.63
Amen.

Thanks for joining me today.
00:29:14.55\00:29:15.68
I look forward to
seeing you again next time.
00:29:15.72\00:29:17.72
Until then,
remember, it is written:
00:29:17.75\00:29:20.96
"Man shall not
live by bread alone,
00:29:20.99\00:29:22.62
but by every word that
proceeds from the mouth of God."
