00:01:05.86\00:01:06.30
FERREIRA: THANK YOU.
IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE HERE.
00:01:06.30\00:01:09.00
>>BILL: WELL, DOCTOR,
WE ALWAYS TRY IN THESE
00:01:09.00\00:01:12.06
SEGMENTS TO TRY TO
TACKLE ISSUES OUR VIEWERS
00:01:12.06\00:01:13.00
ARE FACING AND TODAY
WE DECIDED WE'RE GOING TO
00:01:13.00\00:01:16.13
TALK A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT AGING AND GROWING.>>DR.
00:01:16.13\00:01:19.73
FERREIRA: WE'RE ALL
FACING THAT.>>BILL: YES. >>DR.
00:01:19.73\00:01:20.80
FERREIRA:.FROM THE TIME
WE'RE BORN. >>BILL: THAT'S
00:01:20.80\00:01:22.70
THE SAD REALITY, ISN'T IT?
00:01:22.70\00:01:23.23
WE'RE ALL GOING THAT
WAY AND, IN FACT, SOME
00:01:23.23\00:01:25.63
STATISTICS WE HERE THAT
IN 2001 IT WAS ESTIMATED THAT
00:01:25.63\00:01:28.83
NEARLY 4 MILLION
CANADIANS WERE 65 YEARS OF AGE
00:01:28.83\00:01:29.83
OR OLDER. A FIGURE
THAT IS TWO-THIRDS MORE THAN
00:01:29.83\00:01:37.80
IN 1981. >>DR. FERREIRA:
THAT'S RIGHT. >>BILL: SO,
00:01:37.80\00:01:42.20
IT SEEMS THAT WE SEEM
TO BE, THERE'S AN INCREASE,
00:01:42.20\00:01:43.16
RIGHT, IN THE NUMBER
OF PEOPLE THAT ARE.>>DR.
00:01:43.16\00:01:48.00
FERREIRA: YEAH.
MORE PEOPLE ARE GETTING
00:01:48.00\00:01:50.20
OLD.>>BILL:.GETTING
OLDER. >>DR. FERRIERA:.AND
00:01:50.20\00:01:51.20
THE OLD ARE GETTING OLDER.
00:01:51.20\00:01:52.50
>>BILL: THE OLD ARE
GETTING OLDER. AND SO THE
00:01:52.50\00:01:53.46
PROPORTION OF SENIORS IN
THE OVERALL POPULATION HAS
00:01:53.46\00:01:56.40
GONE FROM ONE IN TWENTY
IN 1921 TO ONE IN EIGHT IN
00:01:56.40\00:02:03.63
2000. >>DR. FERRIERA:
IN 2000. AND IT'S GOING
00:02:03.63\00:02:04.76
UP. IT'S STILL GOING UP.
00:02:04.76\00:02:06.23
>>BILL: IT KEEPS GOING UP.
00:02:06.23\00:02:06.80
>>DR. FERREIRA: IT
KEEPS ON GOING UP. JUST AS THE
00:02:06.80\00:02:09.60
BABY BOOMERS, PEOPLE
WHO WERE BORN BETWEEN 1946
00:02:09.60\00:02:10.56
AND 1965, AS THEY
AGE THE SENIOR POPULATION
00:02:10.56\00:02:15.46
IS EXPECTED TO REACH
6.7 MILLION IN 2021. AND 9.2
00:02:15.46\00:02:21.10
MILLION IN 2041.
>>BILL: WOW. >>DR. FERRIERA:
00:02:21.10\00:02:22.03
NEARLY ONE IN FOUR
CANADIANS. >>BILL: WOW.
00:02:22.03\00:02:30.90
>>DR. FERRIERA:
THAT'S GOING TO BE A MASSIVE
00:02:30.90\00:02:40.46
CHANGE. >>BILL: IT IS.
00:02:40.46\00:02:40.96
>>DR. FERRIERA: BECAUSE
JUST THINK OF HEALTH CARE.
00:02:40.96\00:02:42.63
BECAUSE THERE'S PEOPLE -
EXCUSE ME - AS PEOPLE GROW
00:02:42.63\00:02:43.66
OLDER THEY ALSO NEED
MORE MEDICAL CARE AND SO ON.
00:02:43.66\00:02:45.76
>>BILL: NOW, THIS TALKS
ABOUT AGING. IT DOESN'T,
00:02:45.76\00:02:49.53
THE STATISTICS DON'T
NECESSARILY OR DO THEY,
00:02:49.53\00:02:50.60
THAT'S THE QUESTION
I WOULD HAVE FOR YOU.
00:02:50.60\00:02:54.00
REFLECT QUALITY OF LIFE.
00:02:54.00\00:02:54.46
>>DR. FERREIRA: AT'S
RIGHT, YES. YOU KNOW,
00:02:54.46\00:02:57.30
BECAUSE IT, WHAT HAPPENS
IS WHY PEOPLE ARE GETTING
00:02:57.30\00:03:01.16
OLDER AND MORE PEOPLE
ARE GETTING OLD. AND I THINK
00:03:01.16\00:03:02.16
TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, TO A
LARGE DEGREE, THAT MEDICAL
00:03:02.16\00:03:09.20
CARE IS ALLOWING FOR
THAT THINGS LIKE HYGIENE AS
00:03:09.20\00:03:21.30
WELL; SAFETY, PEOPLE
ARE MORE SAFETY CONSCIENCE
00:03:21.30\00:03:22.26
>>BILL: RIGHT. >>DR.
00:03:22.26\00:03:27.53
FERREIRA: .AND SO. SO,
THERE ARE A FEW FACTORS
00:03:27.53\00:03:28.53
CONTRIBUTING FOR THIS.
AND IT'S TRUE THAT LONGEVITY
00:03:28.53\00:03:31.26
IS CONTINUING TO
INCREASE VERY GRADUALLY, VERY
00:03:31.26\00:03:39.93
GENTLY BUT IT'S
INCREASING AS WELL. >BILL: YEAH,
00:03:39.93\00:03:40.96
NOW SO WHEN WE TALK
ABOUT AGING THAT'S, WE'VE SORT
00:03:40.96\00:03:47.06
OF CALLED THIS PROGRAM
'AGING WITH GRACE' WHAT
00:03:47.06\00:03:50.83
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
IS GETTING OLDER BUT WITH
00:03:50.83\00:03:51.80
A QUALITY OF LIFE. >>DR.
00:03:51.80\00:03:54.46
FERRIERA: WITH A
QUALITY, YES. >>BILL: SO WHEN
00:03:54.46\00:03:55.43
I THINK OF THAT
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC STUDY A
00:03:55.43\00:03:58.43
NUMBER OF YEARS AGO
OF THE ADVENTISTS AT LOMA
00:03:58.43\00:04:05.00
LINDA.>>DR.
FERREIRA: THAT'S RIGHT, YES.
00:04:05.00\00:04:05.90
>>BILL:. WHERE THEY
SHOWED THE LADY DRIVING
00:04:05.90\00:04:07.33
AT 100 YEARS OLD OR THE
GENTLEMEN THAT WAS STILL A
00:04:07.33\00:04:10.56
PHYSICIAN, YOU KNOW,
DOING ROUNDS AT 90-SOMETHING
00:04:10.56\00:04:11.70
YEARS OLD. THAT'S. >>DR.
00:04:11.70\00:04:14.43
FERREIRA: AND OPERATING.
00:04:14.43\00:04:14.93
>>BILL: AND OPERATING,
THAT'S GREAT. I MEAN, TO
00:04:14.93\00:04:17.30
BE THAT AGE AND TO
HAVE THE VIGOR AND THE WHERE
00:04:17.30\00:04:18.33
WITH ALL TO BE ABLE TO
DO THAT AND SWIM AND HAVE
00:04:18.33\00:04:23.16
THAT KIND OF ACTIVE
LIFESTYLE, THAT IS, YOU
00:04:23.16\00:04:26.70
KNOW, THAT IS TERRIFIC,
RIGHT? SO, LET'S BEGIN TO
00:04:26.70\00:04:27.73
LOOK AT THAT. LET'S TALK
ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THIS IS
00:04:27.73\00:04:34.90
SOMETHING THAT, YOU
KNOW, HAS THE STATISTICS YOU
00:04:34.90\00:04:39.03
CITED INDICATE THAT
THIS IS GOING TO BE A MASSIVE
00:04:39.03\00:04:40.00
CHANGE HERE IN OUR
COUNTRY. I MEAN, WHAT
00:04:40.00\00:04:43.40
HAPPENS WITH AGING? I
KNOW THAT'S A, SORT OF A LONG
00:04:43.40\00:04:49.63
BIG QUESTION BUT,
TYPICALLY, WHAT BEGINS TO
00:04:49.63\00:04:50.63
HAPPEN? WE KNOW THAT
WITH ANYTHING WE PURCHASE
00:04:50.63\00:04:55.93
THAT WHEN IT GETS OLDER
IT TENDS TO DETERIORATE.
00:04:55.93\00:05:01.46
>>DR. FERRIERA: YES.
00:05:01.46\00:05:01.93
>>BILL: SO WHAT HAPPENS
TO US AS WE GET OLDER? >>DR.
00:05:01.93\00:05:04.06
FERREIRA: THERE ARE
CHANGES IN THE BODY. THERE
00:05:04.06\00:05:05.16
ARE CHANGES IN THE BODY.
00:05:05.16\00:05:06.50
YOU KNOW, THERE ARE
SOME CELLS IN THE BODY CALLED
00:05:06.50\00:05:07.46
THE ETERNAL CELLS OR
THEY ARE CELLS THAT IF GIVEN
00:05:07.46\00:05:10.76
THE CERTAIN CONDITIONS
TO LIVE, THEY CONTINUE. THEY
00:05:10.76\00:05:17.26
DON'T DIE. LIKE THE
GERM CELLS IN CREATION, THEY,
00:05:17.26\00:05:18.23
THEY CONTINUE TO LIVE.
NOW MOST OF THE CELLS, THE
00:05:18.23\00:05:31.16
GREAT MAJORITY, ALMOST
ALL CELLS HAVE A BODY. >>BILL:
00:05:31.16\00:05:34.33
OKAY. >>DR. FERRIERA:
THEY UNDERGO SOME CHANGES IN
00:05:34.33\00:05:35.40
THE DNA. THEY START
LOSING SOME IMPORTANT COMPONENTS
00:05:35.40\00:05:42.26
OF THE DNA THAT MAKE
THEM SUCEPTIBLE TO DIE, OKAY.
00:05:42.26\00:05:50.40
SO, AND THAT'S A
PROCESS THAT INCREASES AS THE
00:05:50.40\00:05:51.36
YEARS GO BY. OKAY, SO,
AND WE'RE NOT GOING INTO THE
00:05:51.36\00:05:57.83
DETAILS OF WHAT HAPPENS
AT THE CELLULAR LEVEL BUT THE
00:05:57.83\00:06:01.53
EFFECTS ARE THAT
THE ORGANS BECOME MORE
00:06:01.53\00:06:02.40
FRAGILE.>>BILL: OKAY.
00:06:02.40\00:06:07.53
>>DR. FERREIRA:.FOR
EXAMPLE, JUST THE PHYSICAL
00:06:07.53\00:06:08.53
CHANGES OF AGING STARTING
WITH GREY HAIR OR THE LOSS
00:06:08.53\00:06:11.83
OF HAIR, YOU KNOW. AND
THE SKIN BECOMES WRINKLED
00:06:11.83\00:06:19.33
BECAUSE COLLAGEN
DECREASES, AND ELASTIN,
00:06:19.33\00:06:20.20
THAT'S THE COMPONENT
THAT MAKES YOUR SKIN GO BACK
00:06:20.20\00:06:25.10
TO THE ORIGINAL
POSITION BEFORE YOU PINCHED IT.
00:06:25.10\00:06:32.90
>>BILL: OKAY. >>DR.
00:06:32.90\00:06:33.36
FERREIRA: THAT GOES DOWN.
00:06:33.36\00:06:33.86
THE EYES. THE
CATARACT FORMATION BECAUSE OF
00:06:33.86\00:06:38.36
DAMAGE. SO, AGING CAN
BE SEEN AS SOMETHING IN
00:06:38.36\00:06:46.00
INTRINSIC, OKAY,
SOMETHING THAT THE BODY IS
00:06:46.00\00:06:46.90
ALMOST PROGRAMMED TO DO.
00:06:46.90\00:06:52.90
PROGRAMMED - I
WOULDN'T SAY PROGRAMMED BUT IT
00:06:52.90\00:06:53.90
IS LIKE THAT, OKAY? IT
SUFFERS. I BELIEVE WE WERE
00:06:53.90\00:07:00.43
NOT MADE TO AGE. WHEN
GOD MADE US WE WERE MADE TO
00:07:00.43\00:07:05.60
LIVE ETERNALLY AND
THERE ARE POSSIBILITIES OUT
00:07:05.60\00:07:06.56
THERE IN THE
SCIENTIFIC WORLD TO KEEP CELLS
00:07:06.56\00:07:13.26
FROM DYING. YOU NEED TO
CONTINUE TO LIVE. SO, WE
00:07:13.26\00:07:18.06
WERE MADE TO BE
THAT WAY BUT BECAUSE OF
00:07:18.06\00:07:18.93
SIN, I BELIEVE WE
ARE EXPERIENCING AGE
00:07:18.93\00:07:22.76
AND DEATH. SO, BUT LET'S
LOOK AT THE EYES. THERE'S
00:07:22.76\00:07:28.56
EXSTRINSIC DAMAGE,
YOU KNOW, THE UV RADIATION
00:07:28.56\00:07:29.53
AND SO ON COMBINED
WITH INSTRINSIC FACTORS, YOU
00:07:29.53\00:07:34.50
KNOW, BECAUSE CATARACTS
AND SO ON. YOU KNOW, WE GO
00:07:34.50\00:07:40.46
TO THE HEART. SOMETIMES
THE HEART BECOMES WEAKER
00:07:40.46\00:07:41.46
THEN OTHER ORGANS OF
THE BODY THEY START AGING
00:07:41.46\00:07:46.66
THEMSELVES. IT'S NOT
JUST THE OUTSIDE, THE INSIDE
00:07:46.66\00:07:50.43
AGES. >>BILL: NOW,
WE'VE ALL HEARD STORIES OF THE
00:07:50.43\00:07:51.40
SEARCH FOR THE
FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH, RIGHT? >>DR.
00:07:51.40\00:07:58.56
FERREIRA: YES. LOTS OF
MONEY HAS BEEN SPENT ON
00:07:58.56\00:08:01.26
THAT, YES. >>BILL: IS IT
POSSIBLE TO STOP THE AGING
00:08:01.26\00:08:02.30
PROCESS OR DELAY THE
AGING PROCESS? >>DR. FERREIRA:
00:08:02.30\00:08:09.76
WELL, IN CERTAIN
INDIVIDUAL CELL LINES,
00:08:09.76\00:08:12.43
YES. IT IS POSSIBLE.
00:08:12.43\00:08:12.90
THINGS OUT THERE THAT
HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO INCREASE
00:08:12.90\00:08:22.46
SOME OF THE AGING -
I'VE GOT A LIST OF SOME HERE,
00:08:22.46\00:08:23.43
FOR EXAMPLE, WE'VE GOT
IN FISH, IN CERTAIN TYPES OF
00:08:23.43\00:08:28.56
FISH, IN CERTAIN TYPES
OF FLIES, IN CERTAIN YEAST,
00:08:28.56\00:08:34.30
WE FOUND RESVERATROL
WHICH IS A PHYTOCHEMICAL THAT'S
00:08:34.30\00:08:35.36
FOUND, FOR EXAMPLE,
IN GRAPES. JUST UNDER
00:08:35.36\00:08:39.83
THE SKIN OF THE
GRAPE YOU HAVE, YOU FIND
00:08:39.83\00:08:46.73
RESVERATROL, THAT SEEMS
TO NCREASE LIFE BY ABOUT 30
00:08:46.73\00:08:47.76
- 60% DEPENDING ON
WHICH ANIMAL YOU'RE DEALING
00:08:47.76\00:08:52.13
WITH. AND THERE IS
ANOTHER ONE WHICH IS KNOWN AS
00:08:52.13\00:08:58.10
ALCAR WHICH IS
ACETYLE L-CARITINE WHICH ALSO
00:08:58.10\00:08:59.06
SEEMS TO AFFECT THE
TIME BEFORE WHICH THE CELLS
00:08:59.06\00:09:06.13
DIE. SO THERE ARE
THINGS OUT THERE AND
00:09:06.13\00:09:12.73
THEORETICALLY, AND ALSO
PRACTICALLY, IT'S POSSIBLE
00:09:12.73\00:09:13.90
TO KEEP SOME CELL
LINES FROM DYING. SO, IT IS
00:09:13.90\00:09:18.36
THERE. WE HAVE THAT
BUILT IN CAPACITY. FOR EXAMPLE,
00:09:18.36\00:09:25.86
WE CAN AFFECT, WE
CAN INFLUENCE THE DNA OF
00:09:25.86\00:09:26.80
TELEMERES AND THEY CAN
ACTUALLY PROLONG THE CELL
00:09:26.80\00:09:32.50
LIFE. SO, IT IS
POSSIBLE, IT IS POSSIBLE. SO I
00:09:32.50\00:09:38.83
THINK, BECAUSE OF SIN,
WE ARE NOT EXPERIENCING
00:09:38.83\00:09:39.93
THE BIOCHEMICAL AND
THE GENETIC CAPABILITIES
00:09:39.93\00:09:43.83
THAT WE ONCE HAD AND NOW
WE DON'T AND WE WILL HAVE
00:09:43.83\00:09:51.93
AGAIN, OKAY. WE ARE
NOT BENEFITING FROM THOSE,
00:09:51.93\00:09:53.03
YES. >>BILL: YEAH AND
AS CHRISTIANS OBVIOUSLY OUR
00:09:53.03\00:09:59.33
FOCUS IS ALWAYS ON,
YOU KNOW, LIFE ETERNAL BUT
00:09:59.33\00:10:03.60
THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE
SHOULD BE NEGLECTING OUR
00:10:03.60\00:10:04.53
LIFE HERE. AND, BECAUSE
GOD'S DESIRE IS THAT EACH
00:10:04.53\00:10:08.86
ONE OF HIS CHILDREN
LIVE LIFE AND LIVE IT MORE
00:10:08.86\00:10:12.33
ABUNDANTLY. THE SCRIPTURE
IS CLEAR ON THAT. >>DR.
00:10:12.33\00:10:13.36
FERRIERA: THAT'S
RIGHT, YES. >>BILL: YOU KNOW,
00:10:13.36\00:10:15.43
I TURN 50 THIS YEAR. I'M
ON THE VERGE OF 50. >>DR.
00:10:15.43\00:10:20.00
FERREIRA: SO, YOU'RE 50
YEARS YOUNG. >>BILL: YEAH,
00:10:20.00\00:10:21.06
WELL, IT DEPENDS ON
WHAT DAY. >>DR. FERREIRA:
00:10:21.06\00:10:23.90
IT DEPENDS ON THE
PERSPECTIVE. >>BILL: NOW,
00:10:23.90\00:10:25.73
YOU KNOW, ARE THERE
THINGS THAT I COULD BE DOING
00:10:25.73\00:10:26.76
NOW AS I'M MOVING TOWARDS
OLDER AGE. >>DR. FERREIRA:
00:10:26.76\00:10:36.93
HOW DO YOU FEEL, BILL?
00:10:36.93\00:10:37.40
HOW DO YOU FEEL AS
YOU'RE ABOUT TO TURN 50. >>BILL:
00:10:37.40\00:10:41.83
I FEEL GOOD. I FEEL
PRETTY GOOD. I MEAN, I'VE BEEN
00:10:41.83\00:10:46.16
BLESSED WITH GOOD
HEALTH, I DON'T SUFFER ANY
00:10:46.16\00:10:47.10
PROBLEMS. I HAVE
NOTICED OVER THE LAST COUPLE
00:10:47.10\00:10:52.53
OF YEARS, FOR EXAMPLE,
MY EYESIGHT, YOU KNOW IT'S A
00:10:52.53\00:10:55.23
LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT
TO READ. >>DR. FERREIRA:
00:10:55.23\00:10:56.20
YOU'RE ARMS ARE NOT
LONG ENOUGH. >>BILL: YEAH,
00:10:56.20\00:10:58.40
MY ARMS ARE A LITTLE
BIT SHORTER BUT ALL-IN-ALL,
00:10:58.40\00:11:00.50
YOU NOW, I FEEL GOOD. I
MEAN, FOR THE MOST PART I
00:11:00.50\00:11:01.53
DON'T HAVE ACHES OR
PAINS OR ISSUES.>>DR. FERREIRA:
00:11:01.53\00:11:08.70
AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY,
HOW DO YOU FEEL? >>BILL:
00:11:08.70\00:11:10.53
AGAIN, IT DEPENDS ON
THE DAY. YOU KNOW RUNNING A
00:11:10.53\00:11:11.53
MINISTRY LIKE THIS
THERE'S A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT
00:11:11.53\00:11:15.90
OF STRESS THAT COMES
WITH THAT BUT I THINK I HAVE A
00:11:15.90\00:11:20.76
GOOD PERSPECTIVE ON AGING.
00:11:20.76\00:11:21.33
I THINK - BUT, YOU KNOW,
I WANT A QUALITY OF LIFE,
00:11:21.33\00:11:29.96
YOU KNOW. AND I THINK
THAT - I READ THAT HOW
00:11:29.96\00:11:30.93

FORTIES CAN DETERMINE
HOW YOU'RE GOING TO LIVE IN
00:11:40.43\00:11:42.26
YOUR SIXTIES AND BEYOND.
00:11:42.26\00:11:42.76
AND SO, THERE ARE SOME
LIFESTYLE CHANGES THAT I
00:11:42.76\00:11:46.73
NEED TO BECOME MORE
SERIOUS ABOUT. IT'S NOT
00:11:46.73\00:11:47.70
EXCUSES, I'M ON THE
ROAD A LOT AND THAT JUST
00:11:47.70\00:11:52.86
COMPOUNDS THE
PROBLEM >>DR. FERRIERA: YES.
00:11:52.86\00:11:55.83
>>BILL: BUT, YOU KNOW, I
FEEL GOOD ABOUT, YOU KNOW,

DON'T HAVE ANXIETY, I
HAVEN'T GONE THROUGH A
00:12:04.30\00:12:07.30
MID-LIFE CRISIS. >>DR.

FERREIRA: WELL, YOU'VE
GOT YOUNG CHILDREN. >>BILL: I
00:12:07.90\00:12:09.80
DO. I HAVE TWO BEAUTIFUL
CHILDREN. >>DR. FERRIERA:

00:12:10.93\00:12:12.76
>>BILL: A YOUNG WIFE.
00:12:12.76\00:12:13.26
>>DR. FERRIERA: YOU
STILL, YOU STILL LIVE WITH THE
00:12:13.26\00:12:15.60
SAME CAPABILITY OF
ENJOYING LIFE AS YOU
00:12:15.60\00:12:16.46
DID MAYBE TEN
YEARS AGO.>>BILL: THAT'S
00:12:16.46\00:12:21.26
TRUE, THAT'S TRUE. >>DR.
00:12:21.26\00:12:21.73
FERREIRA:.YOU KNOW,
NOTHING CHANGED. >>BILL:
00:12:21.73\00:12:23.73
HAVEN'T SEEN A BIG CHANGE.
00:12:23.73\00:12:24.26
THAT'S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
00:12:24.26\00:12:26.40
>>DR. FERREIRA: YOU KNOW,
BILL, I WORKED FOR A WHILE
00:12:26.40\00:12:27.63
PROVIDING MEDICAL CARE
TO PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN A
00:12:27.63\00:12:31.56
RETIREMENT VILLAGE.
AND, YOU KNOW, IT WAS A HARD
00:12:31.56\00:12:40.53
EXPERIENCE. MEDICALLY
SPEAKING, IT WAS OKAY.
00:12:40.53\00:12:41.50
YOU SEE MANY PEOPLE
SICK BECAUSE THE BODY JUST
00:12:41.50\00:12:45.06
BREAKS DOWN, IN A WAY.
BUT WHAT IMPRESSED ME THE MOST
00:12:45.06\00:12:52.43
WAS THE EMOTIONAL
COMPONENT OF THEIR AGING
00:12:52.43\00:12:53.30
YOU KNOW, MOST
PEOPLE - AND THAT'S VERY
00:12:53.30\00:13:00.80
UNDERSTANDABLE BECAUSE
, JUST IMAGINE THAT YOU'VE
00:13:00.80\00:13:05.80
LIVED ON YOUR OWN ALL
YOUR LIFE AND NOW WHEN YOU
00:13:05.80\00:13:06.93
REACH 75 OR 80 AND YOU
GO TO A PLACE WHERE YOU
00:13:06.93\00:13:12.56
SOMETIMES HAVE TO
SHARE A ROOM WITH SOMEBODY
00:13:12.56\00:13:17.30
ELSE,.>>BILL: RIGHT. >>DR.
00:13:17.30\00:13:17.86
FERREIRA:.WHO IS NOT
YOUR FAMILY MEMBER, WHO IS NOT
00:13:17.86\00:13:20.10
YOUR WIFE OR YOUR
HUSBAND, WHO IS NOT YOUR
00:13:20.10\00:13:21.10
CHILD, YOUR BROTHER,
IT'S SOMEBODY ELSE YOU DO NOT
00:13:21.10\00:13:24.23
KNOW OR EVEN IF YOU
DON'T, YOU HAVE YOUR LITTLE ROOM
00:13:24.23\00:13:27.90
BY YOURSELF BUT
YOU'RE JUST PART OF THIS BIG
00:13:27.90\00:13:28.96
GROUP OF PEOPLE, IT'S
EXTREMELY HARD. >>BILL:
00:13:28.96\00:13:33.93
YES. >>DR.F ERREIRA: NOW,
I FOUND THAT IN THAT PLACE
00:13:33.93\00:13:37.43
PROBABLY 80-90% OF THE
PEOPLE WERE EXTREMELY SAD
00:13:37.43\00:13:38.43
THEY FELT ALONE. THEY
WERE NOT VISITED BY THOSE
00:13:38.43\00:13:47.13
PEOPLE WHOM THEY
LOVED, THEIR CHILDREN, THEIR
00:13:47.13\00:13:52.33
GRANDCHILDREN, MAYBE
ONCE A MONTH, MAYBE ONCE
00:13:52.33\00:13:53.26
A QUARTER. SO LONELINESS
BECAME A VERY IMPORTANT
00:13:53.26\00:13:58.63
ASPECT OF THEIR
LIVES IT'S JUST, THEY WERE
00:13:58.63\00:14:06.10
LONELY. AND ALSO, THEY
WERE VERY ANGRY, MANY OF
00:14:06.10\00:14:07.06
THEM, FOR BEING THERE.
00:14:07.06\00:14:13.33
THEY DIDN'T WANT TO BE
THERE. BUT THERE WERE A
00:14:13.33\00:14:14.33
FEW PEOPLE THAT WOULD
SAY, WELL, I'M THANKFUL. I HAVE
00:14:14.33\00:14:20.56
A GOOD LIFE, NOW I'M
HERE AND THOSE WERE THE ONES
00:14:20.56\00:14:26.03
THAT WERE POSITIVE
THROUGHOUT THEIR LIVES.
00:14:26.03\00:14:26.96
SO THOSE PEOPLE WHO
WERE NEGATIVE, ALWAYS LOOKING
00:14:26.96\00:14:30.73
FOR FAULTS AND
FAULTS IN PEOPLE AND ALWAYS
00:14:30.73\00:14:37.30
NEGATIVE, THEY REACHED
OLD AGE THAT WAY. AND THOSE
00:14:37.30\00:14:38.36
WERE MORE THANKFUL,
THOSE WERE - LOOKED AT LIFE
00:14:38.36\00:14:44.96
MORE POSITIVELY, THOSE
WHO INSTEAD OF, YOU KNOW THE
00:14:44.96\00:14:49.93
STORY OF THE TWO PEOPLE
IN THE JAIL AND THEY WERE
00:14:49.93\00:14:51.06
LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW,
ONE LOOKS AT THE SKY AND
00:14:51.06\00:14:55.26
SAYS, WOW, THE STARS AND
ALL THAT AND THE OTHER ONE
00:14:55.26\00:15:00.10
LOOKED AT THE MUD AND
SO HE ONLY SAW THE MUD AND
00:15:00.10\00:15:01.10
DIDN'T SEE THE STARS.
YOU KNOW, THAT IS VERY
00:15:01.10\00:15:04.36
IMPORTANT. I'M 45
OKAY, FIVE YEARS YOUNGER THAN
00:15:04.36\00:15:09.93
YOU AND SOMETIMES I THINK,
YOU KNOW, 45, I'VE REACHED
00:15:09.93\00:15:11.13
HALF OF MY LIFE YOU KNOW.
00:15:11.13\00:15:15.30
AND IF I DWELL A LOT IN
THAT AND SAY WELL, THAT'S
00:15:15.30\00:15:16.33
HALF GONE AND YOU
KNOW, JUST THE OTHER DAY
00:15:16.33\00:15:21.83
IT WASN'T THAT ?.
00:15:21.83\00:15:22.20
IT WAS EMOTIONALLY,
INTELLECTUALLY, IT WAS
00:15:22.20\00:15:25.70
JUST THE OTHER DAY I'VE
GOT A 14 YEAR OLD SON AND
00:15:25.70\00:15:29.63
I CAN IDENTIFY MYSELF
WITH HIM. I'M HIS AGE.>>BILL:
00:15:29.63\00:15:30.66
YES. >>DR.
FERREIRA:.AND 30 YEARS
00:15:30.66\00:15:37.06
HAVE GONE BY.>>BILL: YES.
00:15:37.06\00:15:37.56
>>DR.FERREIRA:.LIKE THAT.
00:15:37.56\00:15:40.50
>>BILL: YEAH. I LOOK
BACK - I GRADUATED FROM
00:15:40.50\00:15:41.46
UNIVERSITY TWENTY-FIVE
YEARS AGO AND TO ME THAT
00:15:41.46\00:15:44.03
SEEMS LIKE, YOU KNOW,
JUST YESTERDAY. I LOOK AND I
00:15:44.03\00:15:49.80
THINK, WOW, IF THE
NEXT TWENTY-FIVE YEARS GO
00:15:49.80\00:15:50.76
AS FAST AS THE
PREVIOUS TWENTY-FIVE, THE NEXT
00:15:50.76\00:15:53.53
25 YEARS I'M 75 YEARS
OLD >>DR. FERREIRA: YUP.
00:15:53.53\00:15:56.80
>>BILL: WOW, THIS IS
GOING TO GO BY, THIS IS GETTING
00:15:56.80\00:15:57.86
VERY FAST. SO YOU'RE
SAYING THAT AN ATTITUDE,
00:15:57.86\00:16:01.00
RIGHT? >>DR. FERREIRA:
AN ATTITUDE, YES. >>BILL: A
00:16:01.00\00:16:07.06
POSITIVE ATTITUDE. >>DR.
00:16:07.06\00:16:07.56
FERREIRA: YES. >>BILL:
LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING. DO
00:16:07.56\00:16:10.76
YOU FIND A DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THOSE FOLKS WHO
00:16:10.76\00:16:11.76
HAVE A RELATIONSHIP
WITH GOD, A CHRISTIAN
00:16:11.76\00:16:19.26
PERSPECTIVE AND THOSE
THAT DIDN'T? DID THAT HAVE ANY
00:16:19.26\00:16:21.70
IMPACT? >>DR. FERREIRA:
WELL, YES. YES AND NO, TO
00:16:21.70\00:16:22.73
BE HONEST. I THINK
IT'S MORE PERSON DEPENDANT.
00:16:22.73\00:16:29.83
>>BILL: OKAY. RIGHT.
00:16:29.83\00:16:30.26
I MAKES SENSE. >>DR.
00:16:30.26\00:16:34.86
FERREIRA: BECAUSE I
HAVE SEEN PEOPLE WHO HAVE
00:16:34.86\00:16:35.80
HOPE OR PROFESS TO
BE CHRISTIANS BUT THEY
00:16:35.80\00:16:39.56
LIVE VERY ANXIOUS LIVES.
00:16:39.56\00:16:40.03
THEY FACE TOMORROW WITH
ANXIETY. AND IF YOU THINK
00:16:40.03\00:16:46.30
OF THE WORDS OF JESUS
WHERE HE SAYS, DON'T WORRY
00:16:46.30\00:16:55.13
ABOUT TOMORROW, WHAT ARE
YOU GOING TO EAT? WHAT ARE
00:16:55.13\00:16:56.16
YOU GOING TO DRINK?
LOOK AT THE BIRDS OF THE AIR.
00:16:56.16\00:16:58.70
>>BILL: YEAH, THEY
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. >>DR.
00:16:58.70\00:17:00.70
FERREIRA: SO, SEEK
HIS KINGDOM FIRST. >>BILL:
00:17:00.70\00:17:01.76
YES. >>DR. FERREIRA: YOU
KNOW, I THINK IT'S A VERY
00:17:01.76\00:17:03.43
PERSONAL THING. I
THINK PEOPLE WHO REALLY ENJOY
00:17:03.43\00:17:06.30
THAT PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP
AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING
00:17:06.30\00:17:07.50
JESUS AGAIN - AND I
DON'T BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO BE
00:17:07.50\00:17:13.56
TOO LONG BEFORE HE'S HERE
- IF THOSE PEOPLE WHO LIVE
00:17:13.56\00:17:19.60
THAT, WHO EXPERIENCE
THAT EVERYDAY, YES, AGING IS
00:17:19.60\00:17:20.63
NOT A PROBLEM. BUT IF
YOU LIVE ANXIOUS ABOUT
00:17:20.63\00:17:27.76
TOMORROW, IF YOU DON'T
HAVE HOPE, OH YES, AGING
00:17:27.76\00:17:34.13
BECOMES A VERY DREADFUL
THING. YOU KNOW, IT'S VERY
00:17:34.13\00:17:35.30
ANXIETY PROVOKING.
IT'S VERY DEPRESSIVE BECAUSE
00:17:35.30\00:17:41.26
I KNOW SOMEBODY WHO TURNED
80. HE DOESN'T LOOK 80 AND
00:17:41.26\00:17:47.40
HE DOESN'T BEHAVE
LIKE ONE. OKAY, 79, WHEN HE
00:17:47.40\00:17:48.36
TURNED 80 JUST THE IDEA
OF BEING 80 FROM ONE MOMENT
00:17:48.36\00:17:53.53
TO THE OTHER, HE JUST
WENT DOWN. I'M OLD AND ONE
00:17:53.53\00:18:00.63
THING THAT WORRIES ME
AND THIS PERSON, AND I CAN
00:18:00.63\00:18:01.80
SEE, HAS A VERY POOR -
HOW CAN I SAY? - VERY POOR
00:18:01.80\00:18:11.90
IMAGE OF HIMSELF AND I
DON'T THING HE REALLY HAS
00:18:11.90\00:18:17.40
HOPE FOR THE FUTURE.
00:18:17.40\00:18:17.96
SO WHEN YOU TURNED 80 YOU
BASICALLY ENTERED THE LAST
00:18:17.96\00:18:21.86
STRETCH OF YOUR LIFE.
00:18:21.86\00:18:22.50
>>BILL: YEAH. YEAH. >>DR.
00:18:22.50\00:18:23.00
FERREIRA: YOU COULD
LIVE TO 100. YOU DON'T KNOW.
00:18:23.00\00:18:26.46
>>BILL: SURE. SURE. >>DR.
00:18:26.46\00:18:26.96
FERREIRA: LONGEVITY
FOR MEN IS BETWEEN 80 AND
00:18:26.96\00:18:29.90
82. >>BILL: RIGHT. >>DR.
00:18:29.90\00:18:30.36
FERREIRA: SO WHEN YOU
TURN 80.>>BILL: THAT'S THE HOME
00:18:30.36\00:18:34.70
STRETCH. >>DR. FERREIRA:
THAT'S THE HOME STRETCH.
00:18:34.70\00:18:36.66
>>BILL: YEAH. >>DR.
00:18:36.66\00:18:37.13
FERREIRA: AND HOW AM I?
00:18:37.13\00:18:37.63
DO I HAVE HOPE? DO I
SEE DEATH AS THE FINAL EVENT
00:18:37.63\00:18:41.50
HERE? DO I SEE WHAT
PRECEEDS DEATH AS THE
00:18:41.50\00:18:48.26
SUFFERING BEFORE MY
EXISTENCE? JUST WILL
00:18:48.26\00:18:49.13
CEASE? THOSE ARE CRUCIAL.
00:18:49.13\00:18:56.26
THERE ARE MANY OTHER
THINGS THAT CAN HELP US TO
00:18:56.26\00:18:57.26
AGE WITH GRACE AND
WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT. BUT I
00:18:57.26\00:19:02.03
THINK THIS IS A VERY,
VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT OF AGING
00:19:02.03\00:19:05.50
IS HOW YOU LOOK AT IT.
DO YOU LOOK AT IT WITH HOPE
00:19:05.50\00:19:06.50
WITH THE ASSURANCE OF
BEING LOVED? I KNOW THAT
00:19:06.50\00:19:14.43
THERE ARE MANY
PEOPLE OUT THERE SUFFERING,
00:19:14.43\00:19:18.10
LONELINESS, FROM

LIVING TOGETHER AND

00:20:00.83\00:20:04.06
CULTURES.>>DR. FERREIRA:
IT'S AMAZING. IT HAS SO
00:20:04.06\00:20:05.06
MANY HEALTH BENEFITS
BUT MORE THAN THAT IT'S GOT
00:20:05.06\00:20:08.70
EMOTIONAL BENEFITS,
IT'S GOT SPIRITUAL BENEFITS,
00:20:08.70\00:20:12.73
YOU KNOW. MY WIFE HAS
JUST LOST HER GRANDMOTHER
00:20:12.73\00:20:13.73
AT THE AGE OF 97...>>BILL:
WOW. >>DR. FERREIRA:.OKAY.
00:20:13.73\00:20:19.56
AND SHE LIVED WITH THE
FAMILY - WELL, MY WIFE'S
00:20:19.56\00:20:24.10
FATHER DIED WHEN
SHE WAS TWO AND SO THE
00:20:24.10\00:20:24.93
GRANDPARENTS MOVED IN
TO LOOK AFTER MY WIFE WHILE
00:20:24.93\00:20:28.60
THE MOTHER WORKED. SO,
SHE'S NOW 45, SO 43 YEARS
00:20:28.60\00:20:33.90
SHE LIVED. AND IT WAS
AMAZING TO SEE OMA, WE
00:20:33.90\00:20:34.86

YOU KNOW, FOR
SOME PRACTICAL REASONS,
00:20:53.36\00:21:00.20
SOMETIMES IT'S NOT
POSSIBLE. SOME PEOPLE,

LOOK AFTER THEM. AND
I THINK, I THINK WE HAVE
00:21:07.53\00:21:08.50
GONE TOO FAR IN SENDING
OUR OLD ONES.>>BILL: YES.
00:21:08.50\00:21:12.26

NAPPIES, THEY REALLY
SACRIFIED A LOT. AND I
00:21:17.73\00:21:18.66
THINK THAT TODAY WE ARE,
IN OUR SOCIETY, TOO QUICK
00:21:18.66\00:21:23.73
TO SEND THEM TO A PLACE
FOR SOMEBODY TO LOOK AFTER
00:21:23.73\00:21:29.96
THEM. >>BILL: AND THE
BIBLE SAYS IN JOB THERE
00:21:29.96\00:21:30.96

LONG LIFE, THERE'S WISDOM.
00:21:34.70\00:21:35.23
AND I ALSO THINK THAT AS
A SOCIETY WE'RE LOSING SOME
00:21:35.23\00:21:39.23
VALUABLE INSIGHTS INTO
LIFE AND WISDOM THAT COMES
00:21:39.23\00:21:44.13
FROM THOSE OLDER
GENERATIONS BECAUSE WE'RE
00:21:44.13\00:21:45.00

00:21:45.00\00:21:49.10

ABOUT FOUR MINUTES. >>DR.
