decisions in the dark can
00:00:00.93\00:00:01.80
lead to some regrettable
consequences. Back in the
00:00:01.80\00:00:04.30
days before electricity,
a tightfisted old farmer was
00:00:04.30\00:00:08.26
taking his hired man
to task for carrying a
00:00:08.26\00:00:09.20
lighted laern when
he went to ca on his gi.
00:00:09.20\00:00:18.00
"Why," he exclaimed,
"when I went a-courtin' I never
00:00:18.00\00:00:21.43
carried one of them
things. I always went
00:00:21.43\00:00:22.36
in the dark." "Yes,"
the hired man said wryly,"
00:00:22.36\00:00:30.50
and look what you got!

In the early days of
the railroad, every main
00:01:13.66\00:01:14.60
railroad crossing had
its crossing guard who was to
00:01:14.60\00:01:16.83
signal with a lantern
that a train was coming. One
00:01:16.83\00:01:21.43
night, a crossing guard
fell asleep in his shack,
00:01:21.43\00:01:22.46
but woke up and ran out
with his lantern seconds
00:01:22.46\00:01:28.30
before the train came.
00:01:28.30\00:01:28.76
There was a
terrible accident. At
00:01:28.76\00:01:34.13
the investigation he
was asked, "Were you present
00:01:34.13\00:01:37.63
at your job? Did you
have a lantern?" The crossing
00:01:37.63\00:01:38.63
guard was exonerated of
any blame. He later said,
00:01:38.63\00:01:43.53
"No one asked me
whether or not the lantern was
00:01:43.53\00:01:48.23
lit."
00:01:48.23\00:01:50.26
Sodium is an
extremely active element found
00:01:51.33\00:01:52.26
naturally only in
combined form; it always links
00:01:52.26\00:01:56.20
itself to another element.

Chlorine, on the
other hand, is the poisonous
00:01:56.73\00:02:01.96
gas that gives bleach
its offensive odor. When
00:02:01.96\00:02:08.00
sodium and chlorine
are combined, the result is
00:02:08.00\00:02:09.03
sodium chloride--common
table salt--the substance
00:02:09.03\00:02:13.80
we use to preserve meat
and bring out its flavor.
00:02:13.80\00:02:20.70
Jesus said: Matthew 5: 14 - 16
00:02:20.70\00:02:25.20
It's not easy to listen
to anyone tell us who we
00:03:04.20\00:03:05.30
should be in the world.
We are tired of being defined
00:03:05.30\00:03:09.93
and told what our
purpose and function in life
00:03:09.93\00:03:13.43
should be. Someone
is always giving us a
00:03:13.43\00:03:14.33
description of what
our life should be like or
00:03:14.33\00:03:19.23
look like. As children,
we were told to be little
00:03:19.23\00:03:24.30
ladies and gentlemen.
00:03:24.30\00:03:24.80
As adults, the culture
in which we live tells us to
00:03:24.80\00:03:28.66
work hard because only
the fittest survive. It tells
00:03:28.66\00:03:29.73
us get all we can
because happiness consists
00:03:29.73\00:03:35.30
of limitless
material acquisition. Consume
00:03:35.30\00:03:41.80
because consumption is
inherently good. Become
00:03:41.80\00:03:42.80
rich because property,
power, and wealth are more
00:03:42.80\00:03:50.50
important than people.
00:03:50.50\00:03:50.96
Be progressive because
progress is nothing but
00:03:50.96\00:03:55.93
good. And now, believe
it or not, we have Jesus'
00:03:55.93\00:04:03.13
words adding one more
description and definition
00:04:03.13\00:04:04.16
to our list of what
and who we ought to be.
00:04:04.16\00:04:10.43
His words only add to
the long list of expectations
00:04:10.43\00:04:16.23
already carefully recorded
in our memory banks. These
00:04:16.23\00:04:17.33
expectations come from
our childhood, our youth, our
00:04:17.33\00:04:23.30
culture, and now Jesus.
00:04:23.30\00:04:23.80
"My followers," said
Jesus, "are to be like
00:04:23.80\00:04:28.86
salt and light." Now
that should be clear enough.
00:04:28.86\00:04:35.26
Everyone knows what
the purpose and function of
00:04:35.26\00:04:36.30
salt and light are. The
everyday purpose of salt
00:04:36.30\00:04:42.06
is to preserve,
flavor, and purify. Jesus was
00:04:42.06\00:04:46.46
saying that his
followers should preserve his
00:04:46.46\00:04:47.43
teachings, flavor with
love the lives of others,
00:04:47.43\00:04:53.03
and purify that which
has gone sour. That's who the
00:04:53.03\00:04:59.83
followers of Jesus are.
00:04:59.83\00:05:00.43
They are people who have
a salt-like quality which
00:05:00.43\00:05:05.23
adds to the lives of
others. They function in
00:05:05.23\00:05:06.16
a way that
enhances or enriches the
00:05:06.16\00:05:09.16
flavor of life.
00:05:09.16\00:05:13.60
The purpose of the
disciple is defined by
00:05:15.83\00:05:16.73
what he or she does.
Just like the purpose of
00:05:16.73\00:05:21.46
salt is defined by what
it does. But, Jesus said
00:05:21.46\00:05:26.40
there is a danger. We,
as disciples, might become
00:05:26.40\00:05:27.43
like salt which has
lost its savor. Salt can
00:05:27.43\00:05:33.73
lose its taste, and
when it does, it is good for
00:05:33.73\00:05:38.70
nothing except to be
thrown out the window and
00:05:38.70\00:05:39.80
trodden under the
feet of those who pass by.
00:05:39.80\00:05:43.23
But Jesus also said
that you are the light of the
00:05:43.23\00:05:49.00
world. Everyone knows
the purpose of light. Light
00:05:49.00\00:05:50.03
casts out the darkness,
enables others to see, and
00:05:50.03\00:05:55.43
makes things visible. The
worst thing that we can do
00:05:55.43\00:06:00.06
with light is to hide it.
00:06:00.06\00:06:00.60
If hidden, a light cannot
push back the shadows, nor
00:06:00.60\00:06:06.40
can it enable others to
see. It's easy to say that
00:06:06.40\00:06:07.46
one should be like
salt and light in a general
00:06:07.46\00:06:12.43
sense. No one minds
adding that to the list of what
00:06:12.43\00:06:16.83
one should be and what
one should do. But, how do we
00:06:16.83\00:06:17.90
as individuals really
live if we understand ourselves
00:06:17.90\00:06:24.76
to be salt and light, not
in a general sense, but in
00:06:24.76\00:06:30.16
the everyday life?
What does it mean to be the
00:06:30.16\00:06:31.30
salt of the earth and
the light of the world when
00:06:31.30\00:06:36.36
we are trying to
decide on where to educate our
00:06:36.36\00:06:40.26
children? What does it
mean to be the salt of the
00:06:40.26\00:06:41.30
earth and the light of
the world when we are trying
00:06:41.30\00:06:45.90
to decide how much to
give away or how much to keep;
00:06:45.90\00:06:49.63
how to get more and
more material things so that
00:06:49.63\00:06:50.63
we can be happier; how
to negotiate time for our
00:06:50.63\00:06:55.96
teenagers; how to get
ready for a big dinner
00:06:55.96\00:07:00.46
party, clean the house,
and get the children where
00:07:00.46\00:07:01.66
they need to be? What
does it mean to be the salt of
00:07:01.66\00:07:04.90
the earth and the light
of the world when we are in
00:07:04.90\00:07:08.53
the presence of a person
who tells an ethnic joke?
00:07:08.53\00:07:09.53
Do we laugh, turn
aside, or say nothing? Dr.
00:07:09.53\00:07:15.43
James Stewart - a
British preacher once said:
00:07:15.43\00:07:21.80
This is the issue.
Think about the crowd to whom
00:07:50.66\00:07:51.66
Jesus was speaking. It
wasn't a gathering of the
00:07:51.66\00:07:56.13
United Nations; it
wasn't Parliament, or even an
00:07:56.13\00:07:58.60
assembly at City Hall.
It was a crowd on a hillside
00:07:58.60\00:07:59.73
in a tiny spot of land
called Palestine. It was
00:07:59.73\00:08:06.76
a group of common
people living common ordinary
00:08:06.76\00:08:12.60
lives. They were under
occupation; they couldn't
00:08:12.60\00:08:13.60
make their own laws;
they couldn't plan their own
00:08:13.60\00:08:18.56
futures; they
couldn't determine their own
00:08:18.56\00:08:22.76
destinies; yet Jesus said
to them, "You are the salt
00:08:22.76\00:08:23.83
of the earth; you are
the light of the world." We
00:08:23.83\00:08:31.33
are salt and we are light.
00:08:31.33\00:08:31.86
But just what does
this mean? Why does Jesus
00:08:31.86\00:08:40.16
insist that we need to
"pass the salt and turn on
00:08:40.16\00:08:46.40
the light?" How
are we to do that?
00:08:46.40\00:08:52.23
The worst thing that a
Christian could lose is
00:08:55.00\00:08:56.00
not his wealth, nor his
job, nor his health, nor
00:08:56.00\00:09:05.80
his family, not even
his life; the worst thing a
00:09:05.80\00:09:13.33
Christian can lose is
his testimony. Because when
00:09:13.33\00:09:14.36
you lose your
testimony your salt loses his
00:09:14.36\00:09:15.93
seasoning; it loses its
flavor. When that happens
00:09:15.93\00:09:21.63
Jesus goes on to say,
"It is then good for nothing
00:09:21.63\00:09:22.63
but to be thrown out
and trampled underfoot
00:09:22.63\00:09:26.33
by men." You see, the one
thing that can contaminate
00:09:26.33\00:09:32.40
the salt of our life is
the dirt of worldliness.
00:09:32.40\00:09:33.40
Whenever salt that was
brought out from the Dead
00:09:33.40\00:09:39.50
Sea would be contaminated
with other minerals that
00:09:39.50\00:09:43.23
would make it taste
flat or even repulsive, the
00:09:43.23\00:09:44.20
salt became worthless.
You couldn't throw it on a
00:09:44.20\00:09:49.86
garden or a field
because it would kill what was
00:09:49.86\00:09:54.16
planted. So instead,
it would be thrown onto
00:09:54.16\00:09:55.13
the roads where it
would gradually be ground into
00:09:55.13\00:09:58.90
the dirt and disappear,
and then people could just
00:09:58.90\00:10:05.23
walk over it. Jesus
said "you are the salt of the
00:10:05.23\00:10:06.20
earth." Salt is
worthless if it never comes in
00:10:06.20\00:10:12.53
contact with food. It
may look nice in the shaker,
00:10:12.53\00:10:18.00
but if it stays in the
shaker it is worthless.
00:10:18.00\00:10:19.13
You see, the church is
the salt shaker and the
00:10:19.13\00:10:24.26
earth is the school,
the business, and the
00:10:24.26\00:10:28.60
neighborhood. We need
to get the salt out of the
00:10:28.60\00:10:29.73
shaker on to the earth
where it can do some good.
00:10:29.73\00:10:39.63
I heard about a man that
walked into the little Mom
00:10:40.93\00:10:41.96
and Pop grocery store
and said, "Do you sell salt?"
00:10:41.96\00:10:47.13
The man said, "Do we
sell salt! Just look!" The man
00:10:47.13\00:10:51.33
showed the customer
an entire wall of shelves
00:10:51.33\00:10:52.30
stocked with nothing but
salt-Morton salt, iodized
00:10:52.30\00:10:56.30
salt, kosher salt, sea
salt, rock salt, garlic
00:10:56.30\00:11:00.26
salt, seasoning salt,
Epsom salts-every kind
00:11:00.26\00:11:01.23
of salt imaginable. The
customer was amazed. "You
00:11:01.23\00:11:04.60
think that's something.
00:11:04.60\00:11:05.10
Come over here." He
led the customer to a back
00:11:05.10\00:11:13.40
room filled with
shelves and bins and cartons and
00:11:13.40\00:11:17.00
barrels and boxes of salt.
00:11:17.00\00:11:17.56
The customer said, "This
is unreal!" The man said,
00:11:17.56\00:11:24.06
"You hadn't seen anything
yet." He led the customer
00:11:24.06\00:11:25.10
down some steps into a
huge basement, five times
00:11:25.10\00:11:31.23
as large as the
previous room. It was filled
00:11:31.23\00:11:35.36
wall-to-wall,
floor-to-ceiling with
00:11:35.36\00:11:36.33
every imaginable form,
size, and shape of salt
00:11:36.33\00:11:41.20
you could imagine. The
man looked at him and said,
00:11:41.20\00:11:45.93
"You really do sell salt!"
00:11:45.93\00:11:46.50
The store owner said,
"No, we don't, that's just the
00:11:46.50\00:11:53.26
problem! We never
sell salt. But that salt
00:11:53.26\00:11:54.20
salesman that comes
by every week, boy does
00:11:54.20\00:12:00.36
he sell salt!" Here's
the point: Salt that stays on
00:12:00.36\00:12:06.36
the shelf doesn't do
anyone any good. It must
00:12:06.36\00:12:07.30
get out and it
must be different.
00:12:07.30\00:12:15.23
Jesus goes on to say,
"You are the light of the
00:12:16.33\00:12:17.33
world." Now what is
the difference between salt
00:12:17.33\00:12:24.36
and light? Salt
relates to our character; light
00:12:24.36\00:12:27.70
relates to our conduct.
00:12:27.70\00:12:28.23
Salt deals with what we
are; light deals with what
00:12:28.23\00:12:34.63
we do. We know what
light does-it dispels darkness,
00:12:34.63\00:12:35.66
and it attracts. If
you're in a dark place with just
00:12:35.66\00:12:42.66
one light, all eyes will
focus on that light. Light
00:12:42.66\00:12:47.00
is what gives sailors
a course to follow across
00:12:47.00\00:12:48.13
the seas. They
determine a direction oftentimes
00:12:48.13\00:12:51.43
by the stars that
are light-years away. The
00:12:51.43\00:12:55.06
gleam of a
lighthouse on the horizon gives
00:12:55.06\00:12:56.00
direction and attracts
attention. Now it ought
00:12:56.00\00:13:00.06
to be obvious, but the
reason why Jesus commands
00:13:00.06\00:13:04.70
that we shine as light
is because this world is in
00:13:04.70\00:13:05.70
total darkness.
Several times in the Bible we
00:13:05.70\00:13:11.30
are commanded to shine
as light in a dark world. 2
00:13:11.30\00:13:17.03
Corinthians 4: 6 says:
00:13:17.03\00:13:20.70
Now some of you may
be thinking: Jesus said,
00:13:42.96\00:13:43.93
'I am the light of the
world.' How are we to be
00:13:43.93\00:13:47.36
lights?" Well, it is
very simple. You see, Jesus is
00:13:47.36\00:13:50.93
the sun; we are the moon.
00:13:50.93\00:13:51.46
He is the light that
reveals God; we are to be
00:13:51.46\00:13:55.83
the light that reflects God.
00:13:55.83\00:13:58.83
Jesus goes on to say, "A
city that is set on a hill
00:14:00.23\00:14:01.36
cannot be hidden." Back
in Bible days they didn't
00:14:01.36\00:14:04.83
have bulldozers like we
have, so cities were built
00:14:04.83\00:14:09.30
one layer over another.
00:14:09.30\00:14:09.83
When a city was
invaded and burned down and
00:14:09.83\00:14:14.76
destroyed, they would
take all the rubble, knock
00:14:14.76\00:14:15.80
it down, use that as a
foundation and build the
00:14:15.80\00:14:18.63
city all over again,
layer by layer. A city built on
00:14:18.63\00:14:25.70
a hill cannot be hidden.
00:14:25.70\00:14:26.20
Neither should our
light Jesus goes on to say in
00:14:26.20\00:14:34.20
v.15, "Nor do they
light a lamp and put it under
00:14:34.20\00:14:35.30
a basket, but on a
lamp stand, and it gives
00:14:35.30\00:14:39.43
light to all who are
in the house." Too many
00:14:39.43\00:14:45.73
Christians are like a
little boy I heard about
00:14:45.73\00:14:46.70
one time who was out
playing with a mongrel dog
00:14:46.70\00:14:51.30
in his front yard. A
man came walking by one day
00:14:51.30\00:14:56.90
and saw this little boy
playing with this dog, and
00:14:56.90\00:14:57.96
he said, "Hey son, what
kind of a mutt is that?"
00:14:57.96\00:15:00.76
The little boy indignantly
said, "Why he's a police
00:15:00.76\00:15:03.63
dog." The man said, "He
doesn't look like a police
00:15:03.63\00:15:04.70
dog." The boy said,
"Well, you see, he's
00:15:04.70\00:15:10.00
under cover."
00:15:10.00\00:15:13.90
We don't need any
under cover Christians. You
00:15:14.73\00:15:15.86
need to be light in a
dark world. Notice Jesus did
00:15:15.86\00:15:21.43
not say "you can be
salt, or you should be light."
00:15:21.43\00:15:27.46
He said, "You are."
You know what that means?
00:15:27.46\00:15:28.46
Shake the salt on a
decaying world, shine the
00:15:28.46\00:15:34.93
light to a darkened
world Jesus concludes by saying
00:15:34.93\00:15:41.23
this: "Let your light
so shine before men, that
00:15:41.23\00:15:42.20
they may see your
good works and glorify your
00:15:42.20\00:15:49.86
Father in heaven." (v.16
How do you know if you're
00:15:49.86\00:15:52.80
being salt and light?
00:15:52.80\00:15:53.30
How do you know if
you're shaking the salt, and how
00:15:53.30\00:15:58.70
do you know if you're
shining the light? Well,
00:15:58.70\00:15:59.80
here is the test; if
"men see your good works and
00:15:59.80\00:16:02.66
glorify your Father in
heaven." When we begin to
00:16:02.66\00:16:07.40
live our lives in
such a way that people are
00:16:07.40\00:16:08.33
attracted to Jesus
Christ, and want to glorify our
00:16:08.33\00:16:13.40
Father in heaven, we
will know that our salt is
00:16:13.40\00:16:18.26
tasty and your light is
bright. Someone has said,
00:16:18.26\00:16:19.30
"The real mark of a
saint is that he makes it
00:16:19.30\00:16:23.20
easier for others
to believe in God."
00:16:23.20\00:16:29.40
A Bible teacher was
talking to his class one
00:16:31.93\00:16:33.00
time, and he said, "Boys,
here's a watch. What is it
00:16:33.00\00:16:40.80
for?" They said, "To tell
the time." He said, "Well,
00:16:40.80\00:16:42.30
suppose the watch doesn't
keep time. What is it good
00:16:42.30\00:16:43.46
for?" They said,
"Good for nothing."
00:16:43.46\00:16:46.80
He then took out a
pencil and said, "What is this
00:16:47.10\00:16:48.13
pencil for?" They said,
"It's to write with." He
00:16:48.13\00:16:50.70
said, "Suppose the pencil
won't make a mark. What is
00:16:50.70\00:16:55.93
it good for?" They
said, "Good for nothing." Then
00:16:55.93\00:16:56.90
he took out a knife,
and he said, "Boys, what is
00:16:56.90\00:17:02.16
this for?" They said, "To
cut things with." He said,
00:17:02.16\00:17:05.83
"But suppose it won't
cut anything. What is it good
00:17:05.83\00:17:06.86
for?" They said, "Good
for nothing." The teacher then
00:17:06.86\00:17:12.06
looked at the class and
said, "Boys, whatever else
00:17:12.06\00:17:15.80
you do, if you do not
glorify God by the way you
00:17:15.80\00:17:16.83
live, and bring others to
glorify God, then what are
00:17:16.83\00:17:22.66
you good for?" They all
said, "Good for nothing."
00:17:22.66\00:17:31.66
God has called us to
shake out the salt of a godly
00:17:31.66\00:17:32.73
life and shine out
the light of the truth of
00:17:32.73\00:17:38.50
Jesus Christ, and thus
bring as many men as we
00:17:38.50\00:17:43.73
can to glorify
our Father in heaven.
00:17:43.73\00:17:49.40
(MUSIC)
00:17:51.43\00:17:53.30
All I have is right now
00:17:53.83\00:17:56.60
To be faithful, to be holy
00:17:56.86\00:17:59.96
And to shine,
Lighting up the darkness
00:18:00.36\00:18:04.06
Right now, I
really have no choice
00:18:04.40\00:18:10.76
But to voice the
truth to the nations
00:18:11.10\00:18:16.36
A generation looking for God
00:18:16.66\00:18:19.63
For such a time as this
00:18:19.96\00:18:23.23
I was placed upon this earth
00:18:23.50\00:18:27.00
To hear the voice of God
00:18:27.26\00:18:31.26
And do His will, whatever it is
00:18:31.46\00:18:35.33
For such a time as this
00:18:35.70\00:18:38.86
For now and all
the days He gives
00:18:39.13\00:18:42.80
I am here, I am
here, and I am His
00:18:43.23\00:18:46.86
For such a time as this.
00:18:49.56\00:19:00.16
Do you ever say do
you ever wonder why
00:19:01.06\00:19:06.93
It seems like the
grass is always greener
00:19:08.06\00:19:10.63
Under everybody else's sky
00:19:10.96\00:19:14.60
But right here, right
here for this time and place
00:19:14.90\00:19:20.53
You can live a
mirror of His mercy
00:19:20.86\00:19:26.56
A forgiven image of His grace
00:19:26.93\00:19:30.26
For such a time as this
00:19:30.63\00:19:33.76
I was p,aced upon this earth
00:19:34.10\00:19:38.10
To hear the voice of my God
00:19:38.40\00:19:41.56
And do His will, whatever it is
00:19:41.83\00:19:46.10
For such a time as this
00:19:46.43\00:19:49.56
For now and all
the days He gives
00:19:49.93\00:19:53.56
I am here, I am
here, and I am His
00:19:53.86\00:20:00.10
For such a time as this.
00:20:00.40\00:20:05.50
We can't change
what's happened till now
00:20:06.86\00:20:09.80
But we can change what will be
00:20:10.13\00:20:13.73
By living in holiness
00:20:14.13\00:20:17.36
That the world will see Jesus
00:20:17.63\00:20:21.80
For such a time as this
00:20:22.13\00:20:24.83
I was placed upon this earth
00:20:25.26\00:20:28.96
To hear the voice of my God
00:20:29.23\00:20:32.80
And do His will, whatever it is

For such a time as this

For now and all

>>Bill: Let us
pray. Father in Heaven we
00:21:41.90\00:21:42.76
thank you for the
awesome privilege we have to be
00:21:42.76\00:21:44.73
called salt and
light Enable each and every
00:21:44.73\00:21:50.23
person within the reach
of my voice to shake out
00:21:50.23\00:21:51.23
the salt of a character
refined by you holy spirit
00:21:51.23\00:21:57.06
and to shine the light of
a godly life so you may be
00:21:57.06\00:22:04.00
glorified. We pray in
Jesus name, Amen. (music)
00:22:04.00\00:22:10.90
>>BEV: Hi, everyone!
00:22:33.93\00:22:34.50
Today, let's take a look
at the 206 bones that make
00:22:34.50\00:22:36.33
up your skeleton. It's
interesting that at birth
00:22:36.33\00:22:37.33
we have 300 bones that,
over time, are fused into
00:22:37.33\00:22:42.00
the 206 bones you have
as an adult. Your bones give
00:22:42.00\00:22:48.56
your body structure and
God has assembled them in
00:22:48.56\00:22:49.60
such a fashion that
you are able to move in a
00:22:49.60\00:22:53.73
variety of different
ways Your bones are constantly
00:22:53.73\00:22:56.86
being built up and broken
down. Maintaining healthy,
00:22:56.86\00:22:58.03
strong bones
throughout our childhood and
00:22:58.03\00:23:02.10
adulthood will help
to make our senior years
00:23:02.10\00:23:06.46
truly golden. To do
this, both food and physical
00:23:06.46\00:23:07.46
activity are important.
00:23:07.46\00:23:10.63
Now, I want you to take
special note of something
00:23:10.63\00:23:11.66
that you may not
have realized before.
00:23:11.66\00:23:16.70
Dairy products are not
necessarily the best way
00:23:16.70\00:23:20.86
to go when it comes
to bone health. For some
00:23:20.86\00:23:21.96
of you, that might be
contrary to what you've
00:23:21.96\00:23:25.53
been taught before. I
know, we hear all the time
00:23:25.53\00:23:28.66
that we need to
consume more dairy products
00:23:28.66\00:23:29.63
in order to get enough
calcium to keep our bones
00:23:29.63\00:23:33.80
strong. But,
consider this, a number of
00:23:33.80\00:23:37.23
reputable studies
are showing us that the
00:23:37.23\00:23:38.23
countries that consume
the most dairy products also
00:23:38.23\00:23:41.76
have the highest
incidence of osteoporosis. For
00:23:41.76\00:23:46.96
example the Nurses'
Health Study examined the
00:23:46.96\00:23:47.93
milk-drinking habits
of 72,000 women. What they
00:23:47.93\00:23:52.40
found was that drinking
cow's milk daily did not
00:23:52.40\00:23:58.10
decrease the women's
risk of bone fractures. In
00:23:58.10\00:23:59.10
fact, the women who drank
milk twice a day were just
00:23:59.10\00:24:03.70
as likely to experience a
bone fracture as women who
00:24:03.70\00:24:07.63
drank milk only once
a week! I would tend to
00:24:07.63\00:24:08.60
agree with many respected
doctors and researchers
00:24:08.60\00:24:14.66
who believe that
getting your calcium from plant
00:24:14.66\00:24:18.63
sources is a better way
to go. Depending on calcium
00:24:18.63\00:24:19.66
from dairy and other
animal sources will also
00:24:19.66\00:24:24.83
provide you with saturated
fat and cholesterol and
00:24:24.83\00:24:29.73
too much protein, three
things your body doesn't
00:24:29.73\00:24:30.73
need in abundance.
Don't get me wrong, protein is
00:24:30.73\00:24:35.66
essential for good health,
but most of us consume way
00:24:35.66\00:24:41.23
too much, which is
actually detrimental to
00:24:41.23\00:24:42.16
our bodies. So, when
it comes to keeping your
00:24:42.16\00:24:46.06
bones strong and
healthy, remember these tips:
00:24:46.06\00:24:50.26
Excellent
plant-food sources of calcium
00:24:50.26\00:24:51.13
include: collard
greens, broccoli, spinach, kale,
00:24:51.13\00:24:55.10
soybeans, and sesame
seeds. If you love milk,
00:24:55.10\00:24:58.10
there's a huge assortment
of soy, nut, rice, and
00:24:58.10\00:24:59.10
grain milks for you
to explore. Next, avoid
00:24:59.10\00:25:04.63
caffeine, soft drinks
and, as I mentioned before,
00:25:04.63\00:25:06.50
animal protein, which
all leach calcium from your
00:25:06.50\00:25:07.53
bones. Cut way down
on salt and sugar too.
00:25:07.53\00:25:16.86
Finally, get your body
moving. Have you heard the
00:25:16.86\00:25:19.46
phrase "use it, or
lose it"? Health Canada is
00:25:19.46\00:25:20.56
recommending an hour
each day of focused physical
00:25:20.56\00:25:26.40
activity, and you can
break the hour up into
00:25:26.40\00:25:31.33
smaller segments over
the course of your day. So,
00:25:31.33\00:25:32.36
walking, biking,
swimming, even gardening counts.
00:25:32.36\00:25:38.00
Being physically active
every day strengthens your
00:25:38.00\00:25:42.03
bones and will keep
you strong well into your
00:25:42.03\00:25:43.00
golden years.
I'll see you next time.
