There's a new player 00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70 in the top three causes of death, 00:00:02.73\00:00:04.07 but it can still be help with proper lifestyle, 00:00:04.10\00:00:06.60 if you optimize that lifestyle. 00:00:06.63\00:00:08.97 Find out what it is next on Optimize 4 Life. 00:00:09.00\00:00:12.04 Hello, I'm Dick Nunez, exercise physiologist. 00:00:35.16\00:00:38.33 And I'm Jay Sutliffe, 00:00:38.37\00:00:39.70 professor and registered dietician. 00:00:39.73\00:00:41.64 Dick, you said there's a new player 00:00:41.67\00:00:43.07 in the top three... 00:00:43.10\00:00:44.44 New player Jay. Okay. 00:00:44.47\00:00:45.81 So we always know heart disease is number one, 00:00:45.84\00:00:47.18 pretty much around the world 00:00:47.21\00:00:48.81 little exceptions here and there 00:00:48.84\00:00:50.25 but heart disease, cancer and now what's the big... 00:00:50.28\00:00:54.38 What's number three? 00:00:54.42\00:00:55.75 COPD. COPD. 00:00:55.78\00:00:57.69 Has replaced stroke 00:00:57.72\00:00:59.05 as the number three killer in our society. 00:00:59.09\00:01:00.42 Okay, so COPD what is that? 00:01:00.46\00:01:04.99 Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. 00:01:05.03\00:01:08.60 So we're gonna talk about the lungs. 00:01:08.63\00:01:09.96 Yes. Okay. 00:01:10.00\00:01:11.33 So let's talk a little bit about the lungs. 00:01:11.37\00:01:13.07 We see... So is that related to the CPAP machine? 00:01:13.10\00:01:16.27 Yes it is. Okay. 00:01:16.30\00:01:17.64 So sleep apnea, CPAP machine, breathing emphysema. 00:01:17.67\00:01:22.14 We're only talking about smokers here now with COPD. 00:01:22.18\00:01:25.08 No. 00:01:25.11\00:01:26.45 No not just smokers... 00:01:26.48\00:01:27.82 Other people can get it too. Okay. 00:01:27.85\00:01:29.18 So if we're going to talk about the respiratory system. 00:01:29.22\00:01:31.82 The thing that I always remember 00:01:31.85\00:01:33.29 the most graphic thing I can think of is that... 00:01:33.32\00:01:35.76 How long we go several days without eating. 00:01:35.79\00:01:37.56 Right. 00:01:37.59\00:01:38.93 Not that we want to... 00:01:38.96\00:01:40.30 No, we don't. Okay. 00:01:40.33\00:01:41.66 We can go a day or two maybe a few days without water. 00:01:41.70\00:01:44.10 Yeah. 00:01:44.13\00:01:45.47 How long can we go without oxygen? 00:01:45.50\00:01:47.10 Well, I guess the record is about four minutes 00:01:47.14\00:01:50.07 and maybe somebody has done longer, 00:01:50.11\00:01:51.44 but, you know, you can hold your breath only so long. 00:01:51.47\00:01:53.98 Okay. 00:01:54.01\00:01:55.34 And it's still going to have 00:01:55.38\00:01:56.71 some type of destructive properties 00:01:56.75\00:01:58.08 because, you know, you sart taking oxygen 00:01:58.11\00:01:59.45 away from the body, tissue starts to die. 00:01:59.48\00:02:00.82 Okay. 00:02:00.85\00:02:02.18 And as you and I both know 00:02:02.22\00:02:03.55 when cells are depleted of oxygen, 00:02:03.59\00:02:05.12 you can have this massive thing growth called cancer. 00:02:05.15\00:02:07.62 Okay. 00:02:07.66\00:02:08.99 Which takes place, you know, you take normal cells, 00:02:09.02\00:02:11.73 cancer cells, you take a normal cells 00:02:11.76\00:02:13.19 and start to take the oxygen away 00:02:13.23\00:02:14.80 those normal cells start to turn cancerous. 00:02:14.83\00:02:16.97 So more oxygen to the tissue helps resist disease as well. 00:02:17.00\00:02:21.74 Right? Right. 00:02:21.77\00:02:23.10 So let's think about the way we breathe. 00:02:23.14\00:02:25.24 We know there's the nose and the larynx 00:02:25.27\00:02:28.58 and the lungs and so forth. 00:02:28.61\00:02:30.01 So why don't we take a picture at our graphic 00:02:30.05\00:02:31.41 Okay, let's do that. 00:02:31.45\00:02:32.78 Look a picture at that look at that. 00:02:32.81\00:02:34.85 So here we have the respiratory system. 00:02:34.88\00:02:36.79 Why don't you give us a little anatomy lesson here? 00:02:36.82\00:02:38.79 Well, obviously we breathe in through our nose 00:02:38.82\00:02:41.72 and there's hair's in there to help filter. 00:02:41.76\00:02:45.79 In fact when people are exercising 00:02:45.83\00:02:47.66 what we try and do is encourage them 00:02:47.70\00:02:49.23 to breathe in through the nose, out through the mouth. 00:02:49.26\00:02:51.37 So they could still filter that air through their nose, 00:02:51.40\00:02:53.60 although, you and I both know Jay 00:02:53.64\00:02:54.97 when we're going super high intense 00:02:55.00\00:02:56.77 that kind of goes out the window. 00:02:56.81\00:02:58.14 And that's right. Yeah 00:02:58.17\00:02:59.51 But you have the epiglottis that helps control 00:02:59.54\00:03:04.48 which direction something is going to go 00:03:04.51\00:03:06.05 because obviously that same area 00:03:06.08\00:03:09.02 takes in food as well as air, 00:03:09.05\00:03:10.85 so you know you don't want your food 00:03:10.89\00:03:12.29 going down your lungs. 00:03:12.32\00:03:13.66 So you have to have that there to help that lung. 00:03:13.69\00:03:16.36 You've got your larynx, you're pharynx 00:03:16.39\00:03:18.49 and the trachea, the tube goes down into the lungs 00:03:18.53\00:03:20.80 and then you see the bronchioles. 00:03:20.83\00:03:25.40 You got your left lung, your right lung. 00:03:26.43\00:03:28.94 The diaphragm, which is actually a muscle, Jay, 00:03:28.97\00:03:31.41 that helps us to read more effectively. 00:03:31.44\00:03:33.38 In fact some people can actually blow up 00:03:33.41\00:03:35.21 and pop a hot water bottle 00:03:35.24\00:03:36.58 because they have credible strength 00:03:36.61\00:03:37.95 in their diaphragm. 00:03:37.98\00:03:39.31 So lungs are very complicated network 00:03:39.35\00:03:41.58 that do a lot for us. 00:03:41.62\00:03:43.05 Keep us going. 00:03:43.08\00:03:44.42 So the diaphragm, 00:03:44.45\00:03:45.85 strength training in the diaphragm, 00:03:45.89\00:03:47.52 just thinking aloud right now. 00:03:47.56\00:03:49.16 So if we train with weights and do some resistance training 00:03:49.19\00:03:53.70 and then some cardiovascular so forth. 00:03:53.73\00:03:55.30 We could actually become more efficient at breathing. 00:03:55.33\00:03:57.37 Right, but I've never seen a marathoner blow up 00:03:57.40\00:04:00.17 and pop up a hot water bottle. 00:04:00.20\00:04:01.54 Okay, so, usually people who do strength training. 00:04:01.57\00:04:05.01 Right. Okay. 00:04:05.04\00:04:06.37 So then let's take a look at... 00:04:06.41\00:04:07.74 I've always heard that if you took a lung 00:04:07.78\00:04:09.11 and I've never done this I heard if he took a lung 00:04:09.14\00:04:11.65 and unfolded it has so many folds 00:04:11.68\00:04:13.85 and crease in the right 00:04:13.88\00:04:15.22 that it would cover the size of a tennis court. 00:04:15.25\00:04:17.09 Yes it's incredible. 00:04:17.12\00:04:18.49 The dimension of that there's a hundred miles of capillaries 00:04:18.52\00:04:22.09 just in the lungs alone. 00:04:22.12\00:04:23.46 I mean it's just amazing how intricate the body is. 00:04:23.49\00:04:26.49 So it does a lot for us. 00:04:26.53\00:04:29.46 So, you know, we don't think about 00:04:29.50\00:04:32.33 we take breathing for granted because it's automatic. 00:04:32.37\00:04:35.57 We don't have to think about breathing. 00:04:35.60\00:04:37.11 In fact when people ask me how to breathe 00:04:37.14\00:04:38.67 when working out, I say, "In and out" you know. 00:04:38.71\00:04:40.14 Yeah. 00:04:40.18\00:04:41.51 The thing we want to avoid is that valsalva 00:04:41.54\00:04:43.48 because you get intrathoracic and cranial pressure 00:04:43.51\00:04:46.05 and we're trying to avoid that. 00:04:46.08\00:04:47.62 But we take breathing for granted until we can't. 00:04:47.65\00:04:50.45 So when you're doing resistance training 00:04:50.49\00:04:53.32 or you're holding something in, 00:04:53.36\00:04:55.42 your doing some strength training. 00:04:55.46\00:04:56.79 You don't want to be holding your breath. 00:04:56.83\00:04:58.16 Not at all. Okay. 00:04:58.19\00:04:59.53 Not at all. 00:04:59.56\00:05:00.90 I mean they tend to do it from time to time. 00:05:00.93\00:05:02.26 Yeah. 00:05:02.30\00:05:03.63 But... In fact what I do 00:05:03.67\00:05:05.00 is I've always been very aware of hernia 00:05:05.03\00:05:06.77 because of all the heavy lifting we've done. 00:05:06.80\00:05:09.60 And so you know that the intrathoracic pressure 00:05:09.64\00:05:11.97 could contribute to that. 00:05:12.01\00:05:13.54 So I, I always learned... 00:05:13.58\00:05:15.41 Well, first of all, I was breed backwards 00:05:15.44\00:05:17.08 when I pushed up. 00:05:17.11\00:05:18.45 Okay. 00:05:18.48\00:05:19.81 When I pressed up and said I'm blowing out I was inhaled. 00:05:19.85\00:05:22.58 Because I thought, well, I can always exhale again. 00:05:22.62\00:05:25.29 But if you exhale all your air. 00:05:25.32\00:05:27.49 It's hard to inhale 00:05:27.52\00:05:28.86 when you're pressing up overhead 00:05:28.89\00:05:30.26 or when I'm, 00:05:30.29\00:05:31.66 when I'm working hard and I'm going high intense. 00:05:31.69\00:05:34.66 I'll actually start going... 00:05:34.70\00:05:37.17 You know short puffs 00:05:37.20\00:05:38.93 just to kind of like a pregnant woman you know... 00:05:38.97\00:05:40.84 Okay. 00:05:40.87\00:05:42.20 Delivering a child 00:05:42.24\00:05:43.57 because I don't want to get into that valvsalva. 00:05:43.61\00:05:45.47 But even as aware as I am, 00:05:45.51\00:05:49.41 my wife Lisa and I train together a lot 00:05:49.44\00:05:51.55 and there are still times you have to tell me, 00:05:51.58\00:05:53.01 Breathe, because even as aware as I am, 00:05:53.05\00:05:55.38 you can still be guilty of cutting that off 00:05:55.42\00:05:58.59 and then you start doing that intrathoracic acid, 00:05:58.62\00:06:00.39 Intercranial pressure and it can cause, you know, 00:06:00.42\00:06:02.52 there can be exercise induced like headaches 00:06:02.56\00:06:04.83 because you get the vasodilation of an artery 00:06:04.86\00:06:07.20 in your head because it's wanting oxygen, 00:06:07.23\00:06:09.76 it's not getting it. 00:06:09.80\00:06:11.13 And so it's going... 00:06:11.17\00:06:12.50 "Oh, give me more," 00:06:12.53\00:06:13.87 and vasodilation puts pressure on nerve 00:06:13.90\00:06:15.24 and you get a headache. 00:06:15.27\00:06:16.60 Well, the other thing I remember too 00:06:16.64\00:06:17.97 from a stress management class, I took years ago, 00:06:18.01\00:06:20.08 in my undergraduate training they say, 00:06:20.11\00:06:21.71 when you're stressed out 00:06:21.74\00:06:23.08 when you're sitting waiting at a training 00:06:23.11\00:06:24.45 you're late for a meeting, 00:06:24.48\00:06:25.81 the first thing we stop doing is breathing deeply 00:06:25.85\00:06:28.82 we start doing shallow breaths. 00:06:28.85\00:06:30.19 Right, right, right, right, right. 00:06:30.22\00:06:31.55 Remember, we talked about a little bit of cortisol 00:06:31.59\00:06:33.05 in a previous week and we're now into week-11. 00:06:33.09\00:06:36.42 I mean, so people are coming along. 00:06:36.46\00:06:37.89 Maybe they're jumping in right now. 00:06:37.93\00:06:39.43 Maybe this is the place for people to start 00:06:39.46\00:06:41.16 is to start doing more deep breathing exercises... 00:06:41.20\00:06:43.47 Absolutely. Posture. 00:06:43.50\00:06:44.83 Even when sitting down, a lot of times we slump over. 00:06:44.87\00:06:46.84 And it's hard to breathe properly. 00:06:46.87\00:06:48.20 It is and so when we get stressed out, 00:06:48.24\00:06:49.74 we start realizing that really we're taking shallow breaths. 00:06:49.77\00:06:53.24 And if people find themselves yawning a lot. 00:06:53.27\00:06:54.94 It's because they're not breathing deeply enough 00:06:54.98\00:06:56.64 and the alveoli sacks of lungs are screaming like, 00:06:56.68\00:06:58.85 we want more oxygen. 00:06:58.88\00:07:00.22 So they create this spasmodic response 00:07:00.25\00:07:01.82 and we yawn. 00:07:01.85\00:07:03.18 Okay, We have a great graphic 00:07:03.22\00:07:04.75 on how that gas exchange takes place 00:07:04.79\00:07:07.56 and we can take a look at that and what we have there 00:07:07.59\00:07:10.73 is we show how the oxygen comes in 00:07:10.76\00:07:12.46 and oxygen eats the blood. 00:07:12.49\00:07:13.83 Right. 00:07:13.86\00:07:15.20 Why don't you take us through that? 00:07:15.23\00:07:16.56 Well, and then it goes down it has to deliver 00:07:16.60\00:07:17.93 to all of the organs 00:07:17.97\00:07:19.30 and so the organs are looking for oxygenated, 00:07:19.33\00:07:21.97 nutrient-rich blood. 00:07:22.00\00:07:23.37 And then they're taking away, the waste by products 00:07:23.41\00:07:25.91 and, of course, they deplete the oxygen, 00:07:25.94\00:07:27.38 so now we have carbon dioxide 00:07:27.41\00:07:29.74 going up there back to the lungs 00:07:29.78\00:07:31.38 which picks up more oxygen 00:07:31.41\00:07:32.75 then is expelled through the nostrils 00:07:32.78\00:07:35.72 or through the mouth as carbon dioxide. 00:07:35.75\00:07:39.35 And, of course, when you're when you're stressed out 00:07:39.39\00:07:41.56 like you were saying, I mean, 00:07:41.59\00:07:42.92 if I'm in a car and something happens, 00:07:42.96\00:07:44.76 Lisa can tell I'm stressed out 00:07:44.79\00:07:46.13 because I'll fog up the whole car. 00:07:46.16\00:07:48.56 So it's weird how you can tell 00:07:48.60\00:07:52.13 just how much you're breathing is changed 00:07:52.17\00:07:55.10 when you're in a car if you're stressed. 00:07:55.14\00:07:57.01 It's amazing. 00:07:57.04\00:07:59.04 But it's a very intricate system again. 00:07:59.07\00:08:01.41 Given we take it for granted 00:08:01.44\00:08:02.84 but that's why it's so important 00:08:02.88\00:08:04.55 to have those vital nutrients in and oxygen. 00:08:04.58\00:08:07.65 And of course the more we exercise, 00:08:07.68\00:08:09.58 the more efficient we are at transporting oxygen 00:08:09.62\00:08:12.65 and red blood cells throughout the body 00:08:12.69\00:08:14.79 because we have that much more efficient pump. 00:08:14.82\00:08:16.79 Okay. 00:08:16.83\00:08:18.16 So we're trying to talk about 00:08:18.19\00:08:19.53 how we can optimize our respiratory system, 00:08:19.56\00:08:22.93 so we can breathe better. 00:08:22.96\00:08:24.30 I've mentioned a little bit about posture... 00:08:24.33\00:08:26.30 Right. 00:08:26.33\00:08:27.67 And how we tend to slouch over 00:08:27.70\00:08:29.80 and I think Lisa one of the previous weeks 00:08:29.84\00:08:32.24 talked about putting your hands on your hip, 00:08:32.27\00:08:34.21 how we tell people that when you're standing up 00:08:34.24\00:08:36.24 maybe put your hands on the backside of your hips. 00:08:36.28\00:08:38.31 Well, actually wanted to turn our hands this way 00:08:38.35\00:08:40.28 so the shoulders back, 00:08:40.32\00:08:41.65 because if they do this they tend to slump over. 00:08:41.68\00:08:43.05 Okay. 00:08:43.08\00:08:44.42 And so that's... 00:08:44.45\00:08:45.79 We see a lot of people do that especially women. 00:08:45.82\00:08:47.16 To be very aware they'll do that a lot 00:08:47.19\00:08:49.66 and both men and women tend to slouch. 00:08:49.69\00:08:51.86 Yes. 00:08:51.89\00:08:53.23 But women tend to do the forward roll 00:08:53.26\00:08:55.06 a little bit more maybe than the men do. 00:08:55.10\00:08:57.30 And so both genders are going to have the same problems 00:08:57.33\00:09:01.57 with their respiratory system 00:09:01.60\00:09:03.10 if they don't make some changes. 00:09:03.14\00:09:05.77 And exercise, of course, 00:09:05.81\00:09:07.14 encourages the diaphragm to develop more, 00:09:07.18\00:09:10.61 the exchange of air your body just becomes 00:09:10.65\00:09:12.45 more or more used to breathing efficiently. 00:09:12.48\00:09:15.52 Okay. 00:09:15.55\00:09:16.89 And now one thing that I always remember too 00:09:16.92\00:09:18.59 is that I like to do the pull downs. 00:09:18.62\00:09:19.95 Okay. 00:09:19.99\00:09:21.32 And that way an instance pulls your shoulder blades together 00:09:21.36\00:09:23.69 the whole trapezius muscles back there 00:09:23.73\00:09:26.19 and some people think I'm actually taller than I am 00:09:26.23\00:09:28.10 because in a sense, 00:09:28.13\00:09:29.46 I've always worked hard on my posture 00:09:29.50\00:09:31.13 and they comment, 00:09:31.17\00:09:32.50 "Oh, you must be six two, six three," 00:09:32.53\00:09:34.27 No, I'm only six feet they don't believe me 00:09:34.30\00:09:35.90 but it's the idea of keeping the shoulders back. 00:09:35.94\00:09:38.27 Right. 00:09:38.31\00:09:39.64 Now the other thing is what about clothing. 00:09:39.67\00:09:41.11 You know, some people were tight banded clothing. 00:09:41.14\00:09:43.75 Maybe tight here maybe adding that ring every year, 00:09:43.78\00:09:47.08 like a tree and they're expanding. 00:09:47.12\00:09:48.85 Okay. 00:09:48.88\00:09:50.22 And, so, the blood circulation is also being restricted 00:09:50.25\00:09:53.59 by even some tight socks 00:09:53.62\00:09:55.66 or maybe women sometimes they wear 00:09:55.69\00:09:58.56 those undergarments, nylons and things like that. 00:09:58.59\00:10:01.36 Hold things in place. Yeah. 00:10:01.40\00:10:02.76 And so what happens is a lot of times 00:10:02.80\00:10:04.20 we see the blood being pushed to the internal organs 00:10:04.23\00:10:08.27 and pooling there 00:10:08.30\00:10:09.70 so we're not getting oxidation in the blood. 00:10:09.74\00:10:11.84 Mid-afternoon nap, sometimes I think or bobbing at your desk 00:10:11.87\00:10:15.54 and things like that 00:10:15.58\00:10:16.91 maybe opening the window 00:10:16.95\00:10:18.28 getting some air exchange in the house. 00:10:18.31\00:10:20.42 Fresh air... 00:10:20.45\00:10:21.78 But one quick thing, men always crack me up 00:10:21.82\00:10:24.19 because as they get fatter, 00:10:24.22\00:10:26.15 they tend to wear their belt under their belly 00:10:26.19\00:10:29.69 and they'll have what's obviously 00:10:29.72\00:10:31.13 a 45 to 50 inch belly. 00:10:31.16\00:10:33.09 They go "I still wear a 34 inch pant, 00:10:33.13\00:10:36.10 that's because it's underneath... 00:10:36.13\00:10:37.47 Okay. 00:10:37.50\00:10:38.83 My waist is still 34. 00:10:38.87\00:10:40.70 So then think about that too, Dick. 00:10:40.74\00:10:42.24 When we start adding that visceral fat 00:10:42.27\00:10:44.11 which we just talked about I believe it was last week, 00:10:44.14\00:10:46.57 we talk about adding all that extra weight 00:10:46.61\00:10:49.04 the abdominal region in a sense 00:10:49.08\00:10:51.51 and then we lay down 00:10:51.55\00:10:52.88 and then the diaphragms are weak 00:10:52.91\00:10:54.58 because we're not exercising 00:10:54.62\00:10:55.95 and we have a hard time lifting that, 00:10:55.98\00:10:57.39 we're lifting weights, every breath 00:10:57.42\00:10:59.29 and so in a sense when we try to sleep, 00:10:59.32\00:11:01.19 that's what's causing a lot of this CPAP machines... 00:11:01.22\00:11:05.59 Sleep apnea. 00:11:05.63\00:11:06.96 Sleep apnea and things like that, isn't it? 00:11:07.00\00:11:08.33 I mean a lot of extra weight think about 00:11:08.36\00:11:09.73 somebody sitting on your abdomen 00:11:09.76\00:11:12.13 or your chest all night long. 00:11:12.17\00:11:14.50 Losing weight is a great way to eliminate the sleep apnea. 00:11:14.54\00:11:18.24 Okay, so we've pointed out the problem. 00:11:18.27\00:11:20.58 Let's talk about smoking a little bit. 00:11:20.61\00:11:21.94 Oh, you want to go to that? 00:11:21.98\00:11:23.31 Yeah. Okay. 00:11:23.35\00:11:24.68 Now when we talk about... 00:11:24.71\00:11:26.05 We can't help but talk about, 00:11:26.08\00:11:27.42 you know, you talked about COPD... 00:11:27.45\00:11:28.78 Right. 00:11:28.82\00:11:30.15 Lot of that is from smoking 00:11:30.19\00:11:31.52 but 90% of it is from smoking, 00:11:31.55\00:11:32.89 10% people, I know people who have had lung cancer 00:11:32.92\00:11:34.89 who never touched a cigarette their whole life 00:11:34.92\00:11:37.09 and the interesting thing is we have environmental toxins 00:11:37.13\00:11:40.10 and things like that 00:11:40.13\00:11:41.46 and else what about if somebody was a smoker. 00:11:41.50\00:11:43.77 Can they regain their lung capacity? 00:11:43.80\00:11:45.90 That's a great thing as we've said so many times 00:11:45.93\00:11:47.94 in this program the body is the miracle. 00:11:47.97\00:11:50.31 It's just looking for the right environment 00:11:50.34\00:11:52.24 God created us to heal ourselves. 00:11:52.27\00:11:55.18 So within twenty minutes of quitting smoking, Jay, 00:11:55.21\00:11:57.61 the lungs already start to heal and that's amazing. 00:11:57.65\00:11:59.88 Twenty minutes. 00:11:59.91\00:12:01.25 Twenty minutes and the lungs already start healing. 00:12:01.28\00:12:02.62 In 48 hours, Jay, 00:12:02.65\00:12:03.99 the taste buds will start coming back. 00:12:04.02\00:12:05.35 Most smokers don't even know 00:12:05.39\00:12:06.72 what their food tastes like anymore. 00:12:06.76\00:12:08.09 And that's why people sometimes gain weight 00:12:08.12\00:12:09.46 when they stop smoking because they're like, 00:12:09.49\00:12:10.83 "Wow, this tastes great," 00:12:10.86\00:12:12.19 Food's good. 00:12:12.23\00:12:13.56 If the tongue's not inflamed, right... 00:12:13.60\00:12:14.93 Right. Forty eight hours. 00:12:14.96\00:12:16.30 In just forty eight hours and six weeks, 00:12:16.33\00:12:17.73 they're starting to have enough energy 00:12:17.77\00:12:19.27 they feel like they can you know 00:12:19.30\00:12:20.70 run circles around things again 00:12:20.74\00:12:22.44 when they all of a sudden have this feeling of well being 00:12:22.47\00:12:24.71 and six months the lung capacity 00:12:24.74\00:12:26.51 is going to be greatly improved. 00:12:26.54\00:12:28.38 And if they can last one year, Jay, 00:12:28.41\00:12:30.71 they have now left the most abusive relationship 00:12:30.75\00:12:33.65 they could ever have. 00:12:33.68\00:12:35.02 Wow. Just don't go back. 00:12:35.05\00:12:36.52 Okay. 00:12:36.55\00:12:37.89 So my understanding is again 00:12:37.92\00:12:39.25 I mentioned this a couple weeks ago 00:12:39.29\00:12:40.86 that really we have these red blood cells 00:12:40.89\00:12:43.02 circulating through the bloodstream 00:12:43.06\00:12:44.59 and they have a hemoglobin place to sit, 00:12:44.63\00:12:47.53 right in the middle of that lifesaver type 00:12:47.56\00:12:49.76 there's like a little seat in there, the hemoglobin. 00:12:49.80\00:12:51.70 But my understanding is as when you smoke, okay, 00:12:51.73\00:12:54.80 the carbon dioxide and the carbon monoxide 00:12:54.84\00:12:57.31 sits inside that hemoglobin molecule, right? 00:12:57.34\00:13:00.24 Right. 00:13:00.28\00:13:01.61 And, so, we really, we can't get the hemoglobin in there 00:13:01.64\00:13:03.95 that carries the oxygen, it's taken. 00:13:03.98\00:13:06.28 Right. 00:13:06.31\00:13:07.65 And so then basically we keep doing that 00:13:07.68\00:13:09.12 and so basically when a person stops smoking within six weeks, 00:13:09.15\00:13:12.82 they can basically reverse that. 00:13:12.85\00:13:15.09 Right. 00:13:15.12\00:13:16.46 It's amazingly fast. Okay. 00:13:16.49\00:13:17.99 How fast the lungs can heal. Okay. 00:13:18.03\00:13:20.00 So let's talk a little bit about diet, 00:13:20.03\00:13:22.53 about dietary habits. 00:13:22.56\00:13:23.90 Sounds a good time to bring in Chloe though. 00:13:23.93\00:13:25.40 Okay, let's bring Chloe in. 00:13:25.43\00:13:27.34 'Cause what we're going to do is talk about 00:13:27.37\00:13:28.70 every time you can eat 00:13:28.74\00:13:30.07 some more fruits and vegetables, 00:13:30.11\00:13:31.44 you're going to heal the respiratory track. 00:13:31.47\00:13:33.74 Another thing is that we're going to take a look at today 00:13:33.78\00:13:36.14 as Chloe is going to show us a veggie burger recepie... 00:13:36.18\00:13:37.71 I love veggie burger.

Okay. 00:18:25.87\00:18:27.20 Well, now we're going to get into our fitness segment. 00:18:27.24\00:18:29.00 We're gonna talk about abdominal training 00:18:29.04\00:18:30.54 and this will go along very nicely 00:18:30.57\00:18:32.21 with our talk about respiration 00:18:32.24\00:18:33.91 because this will help 00:18:33.94\00:18:35.28 strengthening the diaphragm area, 00:18:35.31\00:18:37.18 which we were just talking about. 00:18:37.21\00:18:38.81 And so we're going to do some abdominal strain 00:18:38.85\00:18:40.35 but we're going to do it standing up. 00:18:40.38\00:18:42.05 Now you can do this laying down 00:18:42.08\00:18:43.85 but a lot of people don't want to lay down 00:18:43.89\00:18:45.95 they want to stand up and you know you can do that 00:18:45.99\00:18:48.09 because the abdominal muscles 00:18:48.12\00:18:49.86 only have a four inch range of motion. 00:18:49.89\00:18:51.39 Right and you could do it at your desk. 00:18:51.43\00:18:53.09 You can do them at your desk, right. 00:18:53.13\00:18:54.46 Make her something in a chair. 00:18:54.50\00:18:55.83 The abdominal muscles don't cross a joint 00:18:55.86\00:18:57.47 they go from here to here and they go like this. 00:18:57.50\00:18:59.50 That's it. 00:18:59.53\00:19:00.87 Not very glamorous but that's what they do. 00:19:00.90\00:19:03.61 So the old fashioned forward ones, 00:19:03.64\00:19:05.84 it just hurts your neck. 00:19:05.87\00:19:07.28 Yeah, well, they can but they can, 00:19:07.31\00:19:08.74 but if you do crunches right there they're good 00:19:08.78\00:19:10.65 but the full sit ups can be very harmful. 00:19:10.68\00:19:13.75 And then also a lot of the leg raises. 00:19:13.78\00:19:15.48 A lot of things you see people do out there. 00:19:15.52\00:19:17.09 They really work the hip flexors 00:19:17.12\00:19:18.69 and they start to imbalance people 00:19:18.72\00:19:20.29 and they pull down 00:19:20.32\00:19:21.66 and they start to have a lot of back problems. 00:19:21.69\00:19:23.02 And a lot of back problems are even cause 00:19:23.06\00:19:24.69 because from you're back, Lisa, 00:19:24.73\00:19:26.06 they're caused from your hip flexors 00:19:26.09\00:19:27.96 or the Sartorius 00:19:28.00\00:19:29.66 or you know the gracilis some of the muscles 00:19:29.70\00:19:31.07 in the inside of the leg. 00:19:31.10\00:19:32.43 So we're going to do some ab training standing up 00:19:32.47\00:19:35.17 and the thing we're going to do here 00:19:35.20\00:19:36.91 and I mentioned earlier that 00:19:36.94\00:19:38.91 breathing wasn't that important as long as you breathe. 00:19:38.94\00:19:41.21 But this one it is 00:19:41.24\00:19:42.58 because we don't want to extend our abdominal 00:19:42.61\00:19:45.01 as we crunch forward, 00:19:45.05\00:19:46.38 we actually want to draw it in 00:19:46.41\00:19:47.75 and you want to try and get your belly button 00:19:47.78\00:19:49.12 as close to your backbone as you can. 00:19:49.15\00:19:50.65 Okay. 00:19:50.69\00:19:52.02 So what Lisa's going to do is she got a blow out 00:19:52.05\00:19:53.39 and do some crunches for us, Okay. 00:19:53.42\00:19:55.22 Okay, so you can see a very simple movement. 00:19:55.26\00:19:57.26 She's breathing out 00:19:57.29\00:19:58.69 then taking a deep breath as she comes back in. 00:19:58.73\00:20:01.03 Crunching over the abdomen, tightening as goes, 00:20:01.06\00:20:03.87 tightening the abs then back up 00:20:03.90\00:20:06.84 and then as you go back, you feel stretch the abs. 00:20:06.87\00:20:08.84 There you go. Back forward again. 00:20:08.87\00:20:11.17 And this is again just a simple exercise 00:20:11.21\00:20:13.38 but it's amazing how well people feel this 00:20:13.41\00:20:15.61 just going through the basic phase 00:20:15.64\00:20:17.88 of falling like a body spear we've done this a lot 00:20:17.91\00:20:20.32 because a lot of people can't get on the floor. 00:20:20.35\00:20:22.12 So it's a great way to do it, 00:20:22.15\00:20:24.22 again, you can do it laying down, 00:20:24.25\00:20:25.59 you can have your knees bent, 00:20:25.62\00:20:27.09 but the thing with thing I like about this one 00:20:27.12\00:20:29.32 is, you're not putting pressure on your neck 00:20:29.36\00:20:30.69 and that's what we talked about. 00:20:30.73\00:20:32.06 Because people are pulling on their head. 00:20:32.09\00:20:33.43 You know you tell them to lift their chin to the ceiling 00:20:33.46\00:20:34.83 but still inevitably they start to just yanking on their head 00:20:34.86\00:20:37.37 start causing some upper cervical problems 00:20:37.40\00:20:39.67 and we don't want that, okay. 00:20:39.70\00:20:41.17 And it allows you to really focus on just your muscle. 00:20:41.20\00:20:42.64 Focus on your abdomen instead of the other areas. 00:20:42.67\00:20:44.81 Okay.

In the middle. 00:20:53.55\00:20:54.88 Getting rid of some of that visceral fat. 00:20:54.92\00:20:56.25 Right. 00:20:56.28\00:20:57.62 Lots of abs, ab workouts to do that. 00:20:57.65\00:20:59.89 Well, that will help the muscles underneath there 00:20:59.92\00:21:01.66 but you've got to get rid of the flab on the outside. 00:21:01.69\00:21:03.32 Okay. 00:21:03.36\00:21:04.69 Or just not going to see anything. 00:21:04.73\00:21:06.06 Give some folks some tips, 00:21:06.09\00:21:07.43 a little bit idea on what they could do 00:21:07.46\00:21:08.90 for cardiovascular training to help the lungs, 00:21:08.93\00:21:12.13 the diaphragm and to lose some body fat. 00:21:12.17\00:21:14.04 Well, certainly walking s going to be a great thing 00:21:14.07\00:21:16.64 to do to start getting the respiration going. 00:21:16.67\00:21:18.67 A lot of people want to start out just by running 00:21:18.71\00:21:20.21 or jogging and... 00:21:20.24\00:21:21.58 Not a good idea, start walking first. 00:21:21.61\00:21:23.71 Cycling, using a recumbent bike is good, 00:21:23.75\00:21:26.45 stationary bike, 00:21:26.48\00:21:27.82 then before you graduate onto the outside stuff. 00:21:27.85\00:21:30.95 But swimming is great, walking on water is good. 00:21:30.99\00:21:35.42 Jesus walked on water. 00:21:35.46\00:21:36.93 I don't know how good of a workout that was 00:21:36.96\00:21:38.89 but you know, we have to settle for walking in the water. 00:21:38.93\00:21:40.66 Okay. 00:21:40.70\00:21:42.03 But then we have to... 00:21:42.06\00:21:44.07 You can do things like rowing. 00:21:44.10\00:21:46.10 Some of the machines out there art trainer's, elliptical. 00:21:46.13\00:21:48.40 So a lot of great things you can do. 00:21:48.44\00:21:50.07 But the main thing is just get out there, 00:21:50.11\00:21:51.64 try and get... 00:21:51.67\00:21:53.01 You know, I usually have people start 00:21:53.04\00:21:54.38 with about ten minutes and then work up to fifteen 00:21:54.41\00:21:56.18 and then twenty. 00:21:56.21\00:21:57.55 Twenty minutes, three times a week is kind of the minimum. 00:21:57.58\00:22:01.22 Five times a week probably the optimum. 00:22:01.25\00:22:03.49 Okay. You can go too much too. 00:22:03.52\00:22:05.25 If you get too much exercise 00:22:05.29\00:22:06.92 you don't give your by chance to rest. 00:22:06.96\00:22:08.29 You can start having other complications 00:22:08.32\00:22:10.03 and we'll talk about that on another episode. 00:22:10.06\00:22:11.39 Okay, and so people could actually do, 00:22:11.43\00:22:12.86 maybe do ten minutes in the morning 00:22:12.89\00:22:14.23 and ten minutes at night. 00:22:14.26\00:22:15.60 They can do that too... 00:22:15.63\00:22:16.97 Break it up. 00:22:17.00\00:22:18.33 And then actually cooking the system more than once 00:22:18.37\00:22:19.70 and that actually helped their fat metabolism. 00:22:19.73\00:22:21.07 Super. 00:22:21.10\00:22:22.44 And then dietarily, 00:22:22.47\00:22:23.81 I've been reading a lot of research, 00:22:23.84\00:22:25.17 it talks about every serving of fruit and vegetable 00:22:25.21\00:22:27.21 that we can consume 00:22:27.24\00:22:29.18 actually reduces our risk of COPD 00:22:29.21\00:22:31.48 or respiratory diseases. 00:22:31.51\00:22:33.42 Right. Okay. 00:22:33.45\00:22:34.88 Eating a healthy diet. 00:22:34.92\00:22:36.32 I mean just food is your medicine, Jay. 00:22:36.35\00:22:38.49 And we talk about repairing those lungs 00:22:38.52\00:22:40.22 if they've been damaged 00:22:40.26\00:22:41.59 whether we worked in a bad environment 00:22:41.62\00:22:42.96 with pollutants, or maybe we smoked 00:22:42.99\00:22:44.83 or secondhand smoke. 00:22:44.86\00:22:46.19 Somebody in the house smokes. 00:22:46.23\00:22:47.56 Right. Okay 00:22:47.60\00:22:48.93 Yeah. 00:22:48.96\00:22:50.30 We can in a sense reverse that the lungs are amazing, 00:22:50.33\00:22:52.17 the body is amazing 00:22:52.20\00:22:53.54 and how it will regenerate itself 00:22:53.57\00:22:54.90 if we give it the proper environment. 00:22:54.94\00:22:56.27 But people have to have the motivation 00:22:56.30\00:22:57.84 and I have a quick story for you. 00:22:57.87\00:22:59.61 I had a woman that worked with us 00:22:59.64\00:23:01.18 and up in North Dakota 00:23:01.21\00:23:03.21 and she had diabetes 00:23:03.24\00:23:04.68 and was on $300 of medication a month, 00:23:04.71\00:23:06.72 which she had to pay for out of pocket. 00:23:06.75\00:23:08.28 So her sister paid for her to work out with us. 00:23:08.32\00:23:10.92 Got off her meds in one month 00:23:10.95\00:23:13.39 and she was paying much less to us 00:23:13.42\00:23:15.22 than the $300 she was paying for the medication. 00:23:15.26\00:23:17.59 Second month, the sister paid half. 00:23:17.63\00:23:19.73 And she still was off on meds and the third month 00:23:19.76\00:23:22.66 the sister said you're on your own. 00:23:22.70\00:23:24.63 The woman immediately quit 00:23:24.67\00:23:27.10 because she didn't want to pay for it she said, 00:23:27.14\00:23:28.47 "We can't afford it." 00:23:28.50\00:23:29.84 Well, the reason why they can't afford it is 00:23:29.87\00:23:31.21 because her husband smokes a carton of cigarettes a week 00:23:31.24\00:23:34.11 and he wasn't willing to give those up. 00:23:34.14\00:23:35.81 Oh. 00:23:35.84\00:23:37.18 And then she started smoking again too. 00:23:37.21\00:23:38.55 And within one month she was back 00:23:38.58\00:23:39.91 on all her meds again. 00:23:39.95\00:23:41.28 Wow. 00:23:41.32\00:23:42.65 People have to be motivated to make some changes 00:23:42.68\00:23:44.02 and unfortunately too often they're willing to do that 00:23:44.05\00:23:46.35 but they're not willing to pay a little bit 00:23:46.39\00:23:48.12 to change their lifestyle. 00:23:48.16\00:23:50.63 Well, we've covered several things. 00:23:50.66\00:23:52.73 One last thing, I want to talk about 00:23:52.76\00:23:54.20 with this respiration and respiratory system, 00:23:54.23\00:23:57.27 circulation getting the oxygenated blood 00:23:57.30\00:23:59.63 something that I do on a regular basis. 00:23:59.67\00:24:01.34 Now it might not sound that appealing to some people 00:24:01.37\00:24:03.51 especially in the winter months. 00:24:03.54\00:24:05.44 Is that you take a hot shower then you end on the cold. 00:24:05.47\00:24:07.81 Right. 00:24:07.84\00:24:09.18 And you're actually used to brisk rubbing 00:24:09.21\00:24:10.85 and so forth in a sense to stimulate the system. 00:24:10.88\00:24:13.82 Get more oxygenated blood to the tissue 00:24:13.85\00:24:16.32 and help with the circulation that way. 00:24:16.35\00:24:18.02 And then go outside and get some 00:24:18.05\00:24:20.06 nice deep breaths into the nose... 00:24:20.09\00:24:21.76 That's right. Out to the mouth. 00:24:21.79\00:24:23.12 And the big key to that 00:24:23.16\00:24:24.49 is not so much trying to breathe in as much as you can 00:24:24.53\00:24:26.80 but blow out as much as you can 00:24:26.83\00:24:28.30 and that automatic will cause a reflex 00:24:28.33\00:24:29.93 for you to breathe in deeper. 00:24:29.96\00:24:31.30 So working on deep breathing in fresh air 00:24:31.33\00:24:33.34 and of course we have great air to breathe, 00:24:33.37\00:24:35.34 you especially up there in Flagstaff, 00:24:35.37\00:24:37.21 but we have pretty good air in Camberley as well. 00:24:37.24\00:24:38.57 That's right. 00:24:38.61\00:24:39.94 So try some of these basic things 00:24:39.97\00:24:41.31 and you'll find yourself 00:24:41.34\00:24:43.14 definitely improving your respiration, 00:24:43.18\00:24:44.78 you'll feel better, you'll look better, 00:24:44.81\00:24:46.51 your tissues will thank you. 00:24:46.55\00:24:48.65 We appreciate you coming to join us again. 00:24:48.68\00:24:50.95 God bless you will look forward to seeing you next time 00:24:50.99\00:24:53.32 on Optimize 4 Life. 00:24:53.36\00:24:54.72
