Welcome to WONDERFULLY
MADE. I am Dr. David DeRose,
00:00:34.91\00:00:37.95
president of Compass Health
incorporated. We're looking
00:00:37.98\00:00:41.03
today at a subject that
is grabbing the attention of
00:00:41.06\00:00:43.95
people throughout
the world and as we lived
00:00:43.98\00:00:47.32
and experience this
wonderful gift of live that
00:00:47.35\00:00:49.93
God is given us. It's
only the matter of time,
00:00:49.96\00:00:52.50
before all of us will
be asking. What can I do
00:00:52.53\00:00:56.05
to age more healthfully?
Healthful Aging, that's
00:00:56.51\00:01:00.58
our subject today and
to add me in the dialogue
00:01:00.61\00:01:03.82
today, is Dr. John Clark,
John it's good to have you
00:01:03.85\00:01:06.85
with me on the show
today. Thanks for having me;
00:01:06.88\00:01:09.21
It's good to be back.
Now you're first training
00:01:09.24\00:01:12.31
if you will in medicine
is as an orthopedic surgeon
00:01:12.34\00:01:15.46
and I know in that
discipline. You see a lot
00:01:15.95\00:01:18.56
of problems that many
peoples with it tribute
00:01:18.59\00:01:21.07
to simply getting
older is in that right.
00:01:21.10\00:01:23.14
That's correct people
do get older and they do
00:01:23.17\00:01:26.55
tend to have problems
with bones and joints.
00:01:26.58\00:01:29.05
Now many peoples
upset that things like
00:01:29.81\00:01:32.60
degenerative joints
disease or osteoarthritis
00:01:32.63\00:01:36.17
it's simply disease
that comes on over time,
00:01:36.74\00:01:39.20
because of wear and
tear and as we get older,
00:01:39.26\00:01:41.74
We're likely to have
problems with our orthopedic
00:01:42.86\00:01:46.72
system. If you will, is
that pretty much to given
00:01:46.75\00:01:50.28
that if we live long
enough, we're gonna be seeing
00:01:50.31\00:01:53.02
an orthopedic
surgeon for something.
00:01:53.05\00:01:54.85
Well people tend to
believe that and there is the
00:01:54.88\00:01:58.45
certain amount to
thanks you believe in,
00:01:58.48\00:02:01.17
coming true, but it
isn't necessarily true that you
00:02:01.20\00:02:05.20
have to have degenerative
diseases just because you're
00:02:05.23\00:02:08.71
getting older. Will
let's talk then about
00:02:08.74\00:02:11.89
Healthy Aging, first of
all from the stand point of an
00:02:11.92\00:02:14.84
orthopedic surgeon. If
you're talking with people,
00:02:14.87\00:02:17.65
how to keep their
bones and joints in a healthy
00:02:17.68\00:02:20.43
conditions. How to
maintain their normal functions
00:02:20.46\00:02:24.52
that the orthopedics
surgeon often deals with walking
00:02:24.55\00:02:27.58
and functional activity?
Why would you tell someone?
00:02:27.61\00:02:30.15
Well, the first
thing, I would say is take
00:02:30.59\00:02:32.75
advantage of your
strength, when you're younger
00:02:32.78\00:02:35.25
and do more exercise. Umm!
00:02:35.28\00:02:37.41
Exercise in the way of
aerobic exercise, exercise
00:02:37.44\00:02:40.93
in the way of strength
training. I remember ones
00:02:40.96\00:02:43.91
study I read, who are
they tested peoples grips
00:02:43.94\00:02:47.14
strength, when they were young.
00:02:47.17\00:02:48.47
Umm! 25 years later they checked
00:02:48.50\00:02:51.95
the same people, to see
how well they are functioned
00:02:51.98\00:02:54.68
and they discovered that
they those people, who had
00:02:54.71\00:02:57.02
the strongest grip strength,
had the lowest disability
00:02:57.05\00:03:01.29
in walking, in going up
stairs, in activities of
00:03:01.91\00:03:05.35
daily living. So
strength training, well
00:03:05.38\00:03:08.90
three times a
week, 30 minutes of a day
00:03:08.93\00:03:11.07
will be very good for anybody.
00:03:11.10\00:03:13.08
So, perceivably and they
had study grips strength was a
00:03:13.36\00:03:15.61
marker of overall
muscles strength. We're want
00:03:15.64\00:03:18.71
to say just strengthen
your grip and you're going
00:03:18.74\00:03:21.08
to be able to walk
well throughout life.
00:03:21.11\00:03:24.02
That's correct, this was
used is a marker for overall
00:03:24.29\00:03:27.30
strength and grip has
often been used that way.
00:03:27.33\00:03:29.95
You know, the
fascinating thing about what you
00:03:29.98\00:03:31.70
presenting Dr. Clark is
the medical literature is
00:03:31.73\00:03:35.05
speaking a lot more about
things to tend to happened
00:03:35.08\00:03:38.41
as we age. One of those
things technically is called
00:03:38.44\00:03:40.85
Sarcopenia that's the
wasting of muscle to tense
00:03:40.88\00:03:44.84
to occurs, we get older
and yeah, what I hear you
00:03:44.87\00:03:47.69
saying Dr. Clark as well
as many others is it, this is
00:03:47.72\00:03:51.03
not necessarily, just a
function of aging or maybe
00:03:51.06\00:03:53.65
a function of what we
do it as we get older.
00:03:53.68\00:03:55.98
That's correct, do or don't do.
00:03:56.01\00:03:58.14
Okay. And you know, we've old
00:03:58.17\00:04:00.61
adage. If you don't
use it, you lose it.
00:04:00.64\00:04:03.72
Umm! And then reality, that is
00:04:03.75\00:04:05.58
often in the case. You
know many diseases that people
00:04:05.61\00:04:08.80
get as an older or a
function of doing nothing
00:04:08.83\00:04:12.04
osteoporosis. A lot of
arthritis's and it occurs
00:04:12.07\00:04:16.61
heart disease and lung disease.
00:04:16.64\00:04:18.45
So, what we saying is
Healthy aging really begins
00:04:18.73\00:04:22.12
at a point, before
you really worried about
00:04:22.15\00:04:24.76
Healthy aging. When you
are young optimizing your
00:04:24.79\00:04:27.60
muscles strength, but
even if you tuning in today and
00:04:27.63\00:04:30.44
you've had your 98h birth
day or you've turned to 100.
00:04:30.47\00:04:34.75
We call a sir, how old
you're. There is others
00:04:34.78\00:04:38.18
suggesting with the
Life Style choice as we make
00:04:38.21\00:04:40.35
to make a profound
difference and one of them
00:04:40.38\00:04:42.49
is regular physical
exercise. You know Dr. Clark
00:04:42.52\00:04:45.40
this reminds me of
that the classic study the
00:04:45.43\00:04:48.02
alumni county health
study. Yes. Many of our
00:04:48.05\00:04:51.01
viewers no doubt of
heard about that study.
00:04:51.04\00:04:53.93
That showed how simple
life style have, which can have
00:04:53.96\00:04:56.43
a barring on health.
What was fascinating to me as
00:04:56.46\00:04:59.97
people get older, their
relatives waits of things
00:05:00.00\00:05:03.06
change in other words
for all the individuals.
00:05:03.09\00:05:05.84
The importance of
regular exercise is equal to
00:05:05.87\00:05:09.29
that compliable, but
power be the best way to say it,
00:05:09.32\00:05:12.35
to the benefits of not
smoking and eating breakfast
00:05:12.38\00:05:16.45
all those things are
relatively comparable
00:05:16.48\00:05:18.45
as we get older as far as
extending our life's spend.
00:05:18.48\00:05:21.47
So, exercise surely
ranks high in that list is well
00:05:21.50\00:05:25.09
as some of these other
simple Life Style practices.
00:05:25.12\00:05:27.75
What other things are
not wordy. Dr. Clark, because
00:05:27.78\00:05:30.40
you think about Healthy aging,
00:05:30.43\00:05:31.67
from the stand point
of in orthopedic surgeon.
00:05:31.70\00:05:34.72
Well, this exercise
thing can be under estimated
00:05:34.75\00:05:38.02
they did a study
on Harvard graduates.
00:05:38.05\00:05:40.48
One of the Harvard
alumni studies and they were
00:05:40.51\00:05:43.46
looking in longevity. Umm!
00:05:43.49\00:05:45.28
And when they got
through to studies this sub,
00:05:45.31\00:05:47.51
the number one
predictor of long longevity was.
00:05:47.54\00:05:51.35
How active the individual
word and so that is very,
00:05:51.38\00:05:55.63
very important, but the
other things that we see in
00:05:55.66\00:05:59.42
exercise. Is that people
who exercise actually get
00:05:59.45\00:06:03.68
a benefit in their
attitude? They are happier.
00:06:03.71\00:06:05.73
Umm! They have a better outlook
00:06:05.76\00:06:07.47
more positive outlook
and that cannot be under
00:06:07.50\00:06:10.43
estimated either,
because outlook often predicts
00:06:10.46\00:06:14.30
longevity as well as activity.
00:06:14.33\00:06:16.83
You know, it's very
interesting as we talk about
00:06:17.10\00:06:19.30
these important factors.
I am always kind a listening
00:06:19.33\00:06:22.53
to the dialogue as if I
am a lappers and I always try
00:06:22.56\00:06:26.13
to do that and I think of
the heart specialist I want
00:06:26.16\00:06:30.49
to know and he was a
smoker of all things were if you
00:06:30.52\00:06:34.51
a cardiologist smoke, because
they see the effects of this
00:06:34.54\00:06:37.78
But he said, you
know, I exercise to undo the
00:06:37.81\00:06:40.40
effect of smoking. I am
thinking Dr. Clark, is I was
00:06:40.43\00:06:43.14
sharing some of the
alumni county health data,
00:06:43.17\00:06:45.47
someone maybe thinking.
Well of smoking and exercise are
00:06:45.50\00:06:51.28
equal or comparable, when
I get older. One can balance
00:06:51.31\00:06:55.49
the others, is that a
correct message to walk
00:06:55.52\00:06:58.06
away from our dialogue list.
00:06:58.09\00:06:59.71
That the VA hospital Loma
Linda, we had quite a stop
00:07:00.18\00:07:04.16
smoking program going,
but we often set and comities
00:07:04.19\00:07:07.36
some talk about it and one
of the common kind of light
00:07:07.39\00:07:12.45
hearted things. We would
say as well they couldn't walk a
00:07:12.48\00:07:14.95
mile to get a camel and
they are really comparable
00:07:14.98\00:07:19.79
you know smoking and
exercise. How you can a
00:07:19.82\00:07:21.87
really exercise, if your
lungs are shot and so I don't
00:07:21.90\00:07:25.62
know those really
off-side each other effectively.
00:07:25.65\00:07:28.78
Now it's the good point
and the other point is just
00:07:28.81\00:07:31.14
because in older people
smoking does not look as like
00:07:31.17\00:07:35.14
as major risk factor in
younger people. The reason
00:07:35.17\00:07:37.68
for that many people
was sodomized of many
00:07:37.71\00:07:40.56
epidemiologist
scientists that study disease in
00:07:40.59\00:07:43.44
population. Is that the
people that are going to
00:07:43.47\00:07:45.81
have the most serious effects
with smoking have already
00:07:45.84\00:07:48.52
died out? If you're 80
years old, you smoked to all
00:07:48.55\00:07:51.85
your life. You've shown
you're relatively resistant
00:07:51.88\00:07:54.87
to the cancer causing
and heart disease causing
00:07:54.90\00:07:57.33
effects is smoking for
example. So that smoking
00:07:57.36\00:08:01.35
is less important of
risk factor as we get older,
00:08:01.38\00:08:04.68
otherwise we're younger,
but it's still as you pointing
00:08:04.71\00:08:07.62
out Dr. Clark it's
something the sooner you quite
00:08:07.65\00:08:10.76
the better don't just be
comp less, because you're 65
00:08:10.79\00:08:13.94
and you smoked all your
life. Let's transition little
00:08:13.97\00:08:17.51
bit, because not only
you're an orthopedic surgeon.
00:08:17.54\00:08:19.95
But you've taken a
great interest in the broader
00:08:20.77\00:08:23.67
area of life style
Madison, you're fellow of the
00:08:23.70\00:08:26.03
American college of
life styles Madison.
00:08:26.06\00:08:28.01
I am member. I am
member, I am sorry
00:08:28.04\00:08:30.18
thanks for keep me
straight and you're very, very
00:08:30.21\00:08:35.02
interested in
health throughout the life
00:08:35.05\00:08:38.95
spend. Tell us about some
others things that may not
00:08:38.98\00:08:41.51
the orthopedic issues,
but our still very important
00:08:41.54\00:08:44.35
as we try to age healthfully.
00:08:44.38\00:08:46.78
Well, one of the big issues,
is what we eat or what we
00:08:47.25\00:08:50.73
don't eat. Okay.
00:08:50.76\00:08:51.94
And people who've a
good diet, high in nutrition,
00:08:51.97\00:08:56.32
vitamins, minerals, Ferro
chemicals and that kind of
00:08:56.35\00:08:59.65
thing tend to have better
health all the way around,
00:08:59.68\00:09:02.45
they also maintained a
better weight and people
00:09:02.48\00:09:06.99
who are obese don't tend
to live as long , they have
00:09:07.02\00:09:09.63
more degenerative diseases.
Well, I call arthritis;
00:09:09.66\00:09:12.63
obesity is one of
the biggest risk factors
00:09:12.66\00:09:15.62
for disabling
arthritis. This weight issues is
00:09:15.65\00:09:19.40
incredibly important
to discuss some 67 percent
00:09:19.43\00:09:23.74
of the American population
are over weight or obese.
00:09:23.77\00:09:26.62
That's the figure you
that just keeps increasing as
00:09:26.65\00:09:29.71
you look at this statistics
over time and if you tuning
00:09:29.74\00:09:33.10
in today and say well
here is the, couple of thin
00:09:33.13\00:09:35.59
guys try to tells of
they are we're, because we fat
00:09:35.62\00:09:37.91
that's not the message.
The message is simply that this
00:09:37.94\00:09:40.95
is risk factor for
ill and there are things
00:09:40.98\00:09:43.29
that you can do that
can help cut the pounds.
00:09:43.32\00:09:45.41
I know you may say
well I heard that before
00:09:45.44\00:09:47.32
doesn't work for me,
but why we encourage you to
00:09:47.35\00:09:50.60
really again take
the message to heart,
00:09:50.63\00:09:54.12
the message is not that
you've to, you know have
00:09:54.15\00:09:58.12
the "ideal figure",
that is promoted in the media
00:09:58.15\00:10:01.33
of someone who is
Pencil thin as a women.
00:10:01.36\00:10:04.25
But the point is that
even losing small amounts of
00:10:04.28\00:10:07.43
weight to make a
significant difference.
00:10:07.46\00:10:09.43
Don't we see that in
the studies Dr. Clark?
00:10:10.46\00:10:12.25
That's true and obese
people tend to have extra weight
00:10:12.28\00:10:15.82
especially around the
organs, over the liver
00:10:15.85\00:10:19.47
and around the kidneys and
these fat, it's in the very
00:10:19.50\00:10:22.29
centre of you tends to be
the most dangerous actually.
00:10:22.32\00:10:25.59
It's had a higher
temperature all the time
00:10:25.62\00:10:27.33
and it been at a
higher temperature you know
00:10:28.29\00:10:30.51
it happens to
fat, it's surround on a
00:10:30.54\00:10:32.51
hot summer day.
Tends to go rancid
00:10:32.54\00:10:35.97
and so this fat tends
to put off extra oxidative
00:10:36.00\00:10:39.28
products, we called
lipid peroxidation or oxidative
00:10:39.31\00:10:42.52
stress and these contributes
to a number of problems
00:10:42.55\00:10:45.57
and so what were we
started here was with diet
00:10:45.60\00:10:48.72
being important. Umm!
00:10:48.75\00:10:50.15
And especially a vegetarian
diet with higher nutrient,
00:10:50.18\00:10:53.17
the reason that is, as
because if you're eaten
00:10:53.20\00:10:55.65
a vegetarian diet,
high in vitamins and Ferro
00:10:55.68\00:10:59.05
chemicals. You've a
strong antioxidant diet and that
00:10:59.08\00:11:04.13
antioxidant diet
than works against that
00:11:04.16\00:11:07.10
lipid peroxidation, that
oxidative stress. Quits that
00:11:07.93\00:11:11.75
important, that oxidative
stress, that is caused by
00:11:11.78\00:11:15.46
being over weight with
this extra fat around the organs
00:11:15.49\00:11:17.96
contributes to macular
degeneration. It contributes
00:11:17.99\00:11:21.17
to diabetes, cancer,
heart disease, a lot of things
00:11:21.20\00:11:24.73
were finding in that
and increased information
00:11:24.76\00:11:28.06
or oxidative stress in
a system contributes too.
00:11:28.09\00:11:31.91
Now, this is critical
stuff to talk about, because
00:11:32.45\00:11:34.77
we speak about Healthy
aging. We're also thinking
00:11:34.80\00:11:37.22
about preventing some of
the killer disease, as we
00:11:37.25\00:11:39.22
need to emphasis that.
But the things that rob us of
00:11:39.25\00:11:41.97
quality of life, the things
that effect our vision, as
00:11:42.00\00:11:44.50
you mentioned Dr. Clark whether
it's macular degeneration
00:11:44.53\00:11:48.20
or whether which is a
loss of the most sensitive part
00:11:48.23\00:11:52.37
of this seeing organ of
the eye. If you will the retina
00:11:52.40\00:11:55.87
or whether it's glaucoma
with increase eye pressure,
00:11:55.90\00:11:59.68
whether it's hearing
loss. These is a number of
00:12:00.38\00:12:02.87
things that can affect
the quality of our life,
00:12:02.90\00:12:04.96
it will not cause our
demise, but can surely
00:12:04.99\00:12:07.88
contribute to
aging on healthfully.
00:12:09.50\00:12:11.98
That's correct and
you never talking about
00:12:12.01\00:12:14.06
arthritis there a
little, that's when peoples body
00:12:14.09\00:12:17.21
where is out
perhaps before their brain.
00:12:17.24\00:12:19.63
Umm! Now, those diseases are
00:12:20.67\00:12:21.76
particularly
distressing to the individual,
00:12:21.79\00:12:24.33
but than there are the
diseases, were their brain
00:12:25.18\00:12:27.20
worse out before the body. Okay.
00:12:27.23\00:12:29.17
And we're talking
Parkinson's and Alzheimer's,
00:12:29.20\00:12:32.31
doesn't necessarily
distress the individual so much.
00:12:32.34\00:12:35.55
But if you look a studies
are those who've to take care
00:12:36.16\00:12:38.33
of Alzheimer's patients
and Parkinson's patients,
00:12:38.36\00:12:40.73
you find it as a major
stress on others life's.
00:12:40.76\00:12:44.29
You know, one fascinating
inside in to these diseases,
00:12:44.32\00:12:48.39
is no logic
diseases. That's intrigue me,
00:12:48.42\00:12:51.43
is a compound called
brain-derived neurotrophic
00:12:51.46\00:12:55.50
factor. I know
that's a mouthful BDNF.
00:12:55.53\00:12:59.51
Brain-derived music
comes in the brain neurotropic
00:12:59.54\00:13:03.11
means it's a
"Nerve Growth Factor",
00:13:03.14\00:13:05.72
so it's BDNF it's something
that has been demonstrated
00:13:05.75\00:13:09.00
you perhaps have seen
Dr. Clark, to decrease
00:13:09.03\00:13:11.82
depression, decrease
Parkinson's disease, risk,
00:13:11.85\00:13:15.35
decrease the risk of the
problems of stroke and also
00:13:15.38\00:13:19.04
potentially decrease the
risk of Alzheimer's disease.
00:13:19.16\00:13:21.73
What's fascinating is one
the factors, that increases
00:13:22.42\00:13:25.47
BDNF levels is good,
compound in the brain.
00:13:25.50\00:13:28.18
Its exercise, another
one is actually choleric
00:13:28.21\00:13:31.87
restriction. Dr.
Clark, I know you have been
00:13:31.90\00:13:34.89
interested in this
concept of choleric restriction
00:13:34.92\00:13:37.69
not just as it impacts
brain compounds. But you
00:13:37.72\00:13:42.20
found some other interesting
things about not over
00:13:42.23\00:13:45.59
eating and what they
have can do besides affecting
00:13:45.62\00:13:47.86
our weight. Yeah, you reminds me
00:13:47.89\00:13:49.73
of the mice that got put in the
00:13:49.76\00:13:51.14
"Genius Book World
Record" You're talking.
00:13:51.17\00:13:54.87
They got how to group a
mice, so they decided to
00:13:55.60\00:13:58.54
feed them how much they
would like to eat, they let
00:13:58.57\00:14:00.98
them only eats so they could
figure out what their diets
00:14:01.01\00:14:03.43
were gonna be like, then
they split them in two groups.
00:14:03.46\00:14:06.20
One group got to eat all
they wanted; the other group
00:14:06.23\00:14:08.81
only could eat 40 percent
of what they had start out
00:14:08.84\00:14:12.93
eating. In others
words they are 60 percent
00:14:12.96\00:14:14.83
choleric restriction. Okay.
00:14:14.86\00:14:16.48
They let him live to the
ripple age, they would live
00:14:16.98\00:14:19.78
let him die naturally,
those mice lived 60 percent
00:14:19.81\00:14:24.48
longer then they wants
just a what they want to eat.
00:14:24.51\00:14:26.67
You know, it's fascinating,
because I have heard others
00:14:27.10\00:14:29.69
studies it looked at
this is, and almost seems
00:14:29.72\00:14:31.71
like the amount of choleric
restriction in this animal
00:14:32.25\00:14:34.71
studies, is the amount
increase some longevity,
00:14:34.74\00:14:37.47
restrict the caloric
30 percent they lived 30
00:14:37.50\00:14:39.80
percent long. It's
that something that you've
00:14:39.83\00:14:41.56
noticed in some of this reports.
00:14:41.59\00:14:43.23
Yeah, I make one of
You're restrict, that I am
00:14:43.26\00:14:45.76
100 percent; they lived a
100 percent longer. But we
00:14:45.79\00:14:48.08
know that isn't true,
but. You know there is the
00:14:48.11\00:14:50.47
point of diminishing
returns, but it almost
00:14:50.50\00:14:53.14
is like, the organism is
programmed by the creator
00:14:53.17\00:14:58.76
to process a certain
amount of food and once you
00:14:59.27\00:15:02.40
process that amount of
food. You're going to meet
00:15:02.43\00:15:05.64
you're demise instead of
you process all that fluid
00:15:05.67\00:15:08.27
very quickly and life
you're gonna die early.
00:15:08.30\00:15:10.95
If you spread it out
more judiciously, you'll have
00:15:11.31\00:15:14.44
a longer life's
spend. That's right AHAH.
00:15:14.47\00:15:17.51
Now, you've been interested,
I know in the immune system.
00:15:17.54\00:15:21.04
A lot of people are tracking
you down and your health
00:15:21.45\00:15:26.02
Education Company,
it's "Northern Lights".
00:15:26.05\00:15:29.14
Health
Education. Health Education
00:15:29.57\00:15:31.47
and you've done work on
this bird flue and immune
00:15:32.10\00:15:37.35
system relationship. So,
I know people are calling
00:15:37.38\00:15:39.57
you from all of the
country and all over the world.
00:15:39.60\00:15:41.88
You've found some things
about choleric restriction
00:15:42.36\00:15:44.43
and the immune
system is that right.
00:15:44.46\00:15:46.21
That's correct people
are eating too much food,
00:15:46.24\00:15:49.19
it tends to
suppress the immune system
00:15:49.22\00:15:51.53
and who wanna does that,
it make you more susceptible
00:15:52.03\00:15:54.63
to a virus such as
the bird flue, influenza.
00:15:54.66\00:15:57.53
Well, if you restrict
your calories, cut down the
00:15:57.94\00:16:01.64
amount you eat and
especially if your calories,
00:16:01.67\00:16:04.37
you do eat or the high
quality food, then your
00:16:04.40\00:16:07.39
immune system has boosted
a lot, we're talking double
00:16:07.42\00:16:11.63
the activity for the
white cells and so choleric
00:16:11.66\00:16:14.85
restriction has proven
very beneficial as population
00:16:14.88\00:16:17.88
that are, you know
pretty habitual at to choleric
00:16:17.91\00:16:21.84
restriction. The hocanhvan. Umm!
00:16:21.87\00:16:23.88
I don't know, it's been
a few years know with there
00:16:24.27\00:16:27.42
was a big article
came out on their longevity
00:16:27.45\00:16:30.02
and they've 80 percent
less cancer, 75 percent less
00:16:30.05\00:16:33.94
heart disease and do
marvelously and they eat
00:16:33.97\00:16:37.40
40 percent fewer
calories than Americans.
00:16:37.43\00:16:40.01
Okay, so what would
saying is there some very simple
00:16:40.04\00:16:43.35
things that could
contributes to Healthy
00:16:43.38\00:16:44.92
aging, regular
physical exercise, not smoking,
00:16:44.95\00:16:49.11
try to maintained more
closely an ideal weight
00:16:49.14\00:16:53.31
and than, avoiding over
eating, even if you're your
00:16:53.93\00:16:57.40
ideal weight, even if
you bring one of those people
00:16:57.43\00:16:59.33
to say well I can eat
anything I want, any time
00:16:59.36\00:17:01.47
I want and it
doesn't contribute to weight
00:17:01.50\00:17:03.60
gained with finally use
the medical research data,
00:17:03.63\00:17:06.21
suggest if you wanna
maintained a health immune
00:17:06.24\00:17:08.07
system, you want to be
careful of the amount of
00:17:08.10\00:17:12.26
calories that you eat,
that is true for optimal brain
00:17:12.29\00:17:15.15
health is well. Dr.
Clark a life has been set, when
00:17:15.18\00:17:18.52
it's come to Healthy aging
about the chronic diseases,
00:17:18.55\00:17:21.65
diabetes, cancers,
high blood pressure,
00:17:21.97\00:17:25.91
heart disease, these
diseases if they don't claim
00:17:26.35\00:17:29.54
life. They often
contribute to what we called
00:17:29.57\00:17:32.33
morbidity or
suffering throughout life.
00:17:32.36\00:17:35.18
Does life style do our
choices make differences
00:17:35.64\00:17:38.47
with these diseases?
They sure do, you know
00:17:38.50\00:17:41.35
a lot of people say
well, you know my mother had
00:17:41.38\00:17:44.42
diabetes, my grandmother
had diabetes, I am gonna get
00:17:44.45\00:17:47.39
diabetes, as that way it
is and so I am just gone be
00:17:47.42\00:17:49.93
prepared, when I get all
just not fighted and often
00:17:49.96\00:17:54.88
times we look at
theses diseases, as inherited
00:17:54.91\00:17:57.88
Umm! and therefore we think
00:17:57.91\00:17:58.97
there genetic. Well, when
you look at it, what really
00:17:59.00\00:18:02.19
as happening, just
people are inheriting their
00:18:02.22\00:18:05.90
parent's life style?
They walk like they walk
00:18:05.93\00:18:08.19
or exercise like they
exercise or don't exercise
00:18:08.22\00:18:10.76
like their parent's didn't
exercise and they eat like
00:18:10.79\00:18:13.95
their parent's eat and a
lot of times they than get
00:18:13.98\00:18:17.12
the diseases their parent's had.
00:18:17.15\00:18:18.93
So you're not saying
that their aren't any genetic
00:18:19.36\00:18:22.25
factors, but you're
saying that what we ascribed to
00:18:22.28\00:18:26.20
genetics, often is not
just pure genetics is often life
00:18:26.23\00:18:30.96
style plus genetics.
True and often times as
00:18:30.99\00:18:34.39
purely life style. Okay.
00:18:34.42\00:18:35.83
For example diabetes,
you're look at the martially is
00:18:35.86\00:18:38.60
after World War II
and we introduce to them,
00:18:38.63\00:18:41.03
the American diet, you
know I have 50 percent of them
00:18:41.06\00:18:44.36
with diabetes on the
island, before World War II,
00:18:44.39\00:18:47.22
no diabetes, who are
they head it from Americans.
00:18:47.25\00:18:51.17
Why you aggressors?
So, some people would
00:18:51.88\00:18:53.95
say, this population
whether it's the folks
00:18:53.98\00:18:57.46
in the Marshall Islands,
whether it's certain groups
00:18:57.49\00:19:00.19
of native of Americans
are genetically proven to
00:19:00.22\00:19:04.44
diabetes, but their life
style, their healthy life
00:19:04.47\00:19:06.97
style historically
protected them. Now, you supreme
00:19:07.00\00:19:10.00
pose these choleric
rich, abandoned in calorie
00:19:10.03\00:19:14.65
American diet and low and
be hold they come down with
00:19:15.73\00:19:19.18
the disease that
never occurred before.
00:19:19.21\00:19:21.22
That's true yes.
So, regards of what
00:19:21.25\00:19:24.08
our genetic are, what I
hear you saying is life style
00:19:24.11\00:19:27.81
is the powerful
influence, not just on avoiding
00:19:27.84\00:19:31.06
blindness, not just on
maintaining our hearing
00:19:31.09\00:19:33.85
or which here is data
showing that hearing loss
00:19:33.88\00:19:37.15
and relation too, what
to poor diet. But it also is
00:19:37.18\00:19:40.29
something they can
make a difference with these
00:19:40.32\00:19:41.60
killing
diseases? That's very true
00:19:41.63\00:19:44.11
and you know, if you
could predicted from your family
00:19:45.39\00:19:48.66
background, you've a
high propensity to cancer than
00:19:48.69\00:19:52.51
you should be looking to
see what the risk factors for
00:19:52.54\00:19:55.29
cancer are, and making sure
that you're taking advantage
00:19:55.32\00:19:59.39
of would better
research you can.
00:19:59.42\00:20:01.62
You know we speak about
cancers, that's a special
00:20:01.94\00:20:04.99
area where one of the
Cord Preventive strategies is,
00:20:05.02\00:20:08.84
is screening. Now of
course screening doesn't prevent
00:20:08.87\00:20:12.18
the cancer from occurring,
it just is what many people
00:20:12.21\00:20:15.46
with terms secondary
preventions, you're picking
00:20:15.49\00:20:18.19
up on the cancer in
early treatable time. A lot of
00:20:18.22\00:20:22.05
what I see in the medical
research literature speaking
00:20:22.08\00:20:24.51
about healthy
aging is giving screening
00:20:24.54\00:20:26.39
recommendations. What
is your opinion on this
00:20:26.42\00:20:29.58
Dr. Clark is there a
place for things like mammograms
00:20:29.61\00:20:32.43
and pap smears, prostate
screening, colon screening.
00:20:32.46\00:20:36.32
How do you see that
is for us healthy aging?
00:20:36.35\00:20:39.22
We've recommendation,
it comes to us from those
00:20:39.86\00:20:42.87
who are studied it lot.
That are often put together,
00:20:42.90\00:20:45.61
a concern senses conference
and than they hand down
00:20:45.64\00:20:47.78
this recommendations
based on, you know good research
00:20:47.81\00:20:51.25
says if I can catch one of
this early. I can save these
00:20:51.28\00:20:53.99
many life years and if
a plans out there is worth
00:20:54.02\00:20:56.86
while they do it and
something has been turned
00:20:56.89\00:20:59.55
down for screening, because
the screening process will
00:20:59.58\00:21:02.25
pickup so few, that
it wouldn't because to
00:21:02.28\00:21:05.77
affective and they
harm done from the screening
00:21:05.80\00:21:08.40
will be more than the
disease perhaps and so
00:21:08.43\00:21:11.02
the recommendation. I
think a well founded on good
00:21:11.05\00:21:13.66
research and we
can look and see, what
00:21:13.69\00:21:16.39
they do recommended.
Great so the message
00:21:16.42\00:21:18.61
there would be work
with your Doctor make sure
00:21:18.64\00:21:22.00
you're having some type
of regular valuation that's
00:21:22.03\00:21:24.93
paying a tension to this
recommended screening test
00:21:24.96\00:21:28.61
whether its colonoscopy,
mammography, Pap smears
00:21:28.97\00:21:33.93
these things have proven
to actually save life's and
00:21:34.48\00:21:38.04
decreases of severity
of many of these cancers
00:21:38.07\00:21:41.46
in particular. What
about other life style related
00:21:41.49\00:21:44.45
diseases is there a
place for screening, when it
00:21:44.48\00:21:47.37
comes to heart disease,
diabetes, things like these,
00:21:47.40\00:21:49.94
how do you see
them? Diabetes, you know
00:21:49.97\00:21:54.16
and heart disease, blood
pressure for that matter.
00:21:54.19\00:21:56.92
A lot of time, they are silent.
00:21:56.95\00:21:59.01
Umm! And, so doesn't hurt
00:21:59.04\00:22:00.82
to have them screen for,
when they have do started
00:22:00.85\00:22:04.31
getting symptomatic.
It's often you that, you will
00:22:04.34\00:22:06.38
come to the doctor with
the complaint you know I feel
00:22:06.41\00:22:08.93
and heaviness in the
chest. I feel palpitations
00:22:08.96\00:22:11.36
for heart disease; you
know I have had excurse
00:22:11.39\00:22:14.18
something, you know high
blood pressure are hard one
00:22:14.21\00:22:16.77
to find, you know a
symptom for, but your
00:22:16.80\00:22:19.70
average doctor, you go
to see him, they will have
00:22:19.73\00:22:21.78
automatic screen for that
to check you blood pressure,
00:22:21.81\00:22:24.23
your pulse. Umm!
00:22:24.26\00:22:25.37
And, so they kind a do
that routinely, diabetes
00:22:25.40\00:22:29.93
it's a little more difficult,
because it isn't a very
00:22:31.01\00:22:33.98
symptomatic disease
until maybe you become very
00:22:34.01\00:22:38.04
hyperglycemic and that's
kind a dangerous, you know
00:22:38.57\00:22:41.96
I've been in the emergency
room. When their next door
00:22:41.99\00:22:45.50
over, there was somebody
and the doctors over there,
00:22:45.53\00:22:47.70
wakeup, wakeup. Did you
know you're diabetic oh,
00:22:47.73\00:22:50.00
oh, no, no, oh what
and there said you're blood
00:22:50.03\00:22:53.55
sugar was 300 and that's
often the first time people
00:22:53.58\00:22:57.08
realize, they are
diabetic. Right, right.
00:22:57.11\00:22:59.38
And, that's sort a
dangerous, so there are
00:22:59.41\00:23:01.28
screening test and go
to the pharmacy, you know
00:23:01.31\00:23:03.59
your local pharmacy and
get these, your in strips
00:23:03.62\00:23:10.78
such you can just a check
iron with for sugar. All you
00:23:10.81\00:23:15.03
know, if you really
worry about and you know, your
00:23:15.06\00:23:16.74
family has diabetes, you
can go buy a little test,
00:23:16.77\00:23:19.04
put your finger and
check your blood sugar.
00:23:19.07\00:23:22.09
Okay. Correct.
00:23:22.12\00:23:23.09
The blood sugar gonna
pick up on its sooner than
00:23:23.10\00:23:24.98
you're and your blood
sugar has to reached probably
00:23:25.01\00:23:27.72
around 160 maybe 180,
before stress coming on the
00:23:27.75\00:23:31.11
you're and where as the
diabetes is the blood sugar
00:23:31.14\00:23:34.31
fasting above 125. Okay,
so what I hear between the
00:23:34.34\00:23:39.06
lines, is if we're
waiting to get concerned about
00:23:39.09\00:23:42.13
healthy aging until
we've our 98th birth day. We're
00:23:42.16\00:23:46.35
missing some of
the best opportunities,
00:23:46.38\00:23:48.04
That's correct.
You've done a lot with us
00:23:48.07\00:23:50.51
your approaches and this
is huge concerned. When we
00:23:50.54\00:23:53.80
talk about healthy aging,
I mean there are literally
00:23:53.83\00:23:56.44
millions of people
throughout the world,
00:23:56.47\00:23:58.61
who've falls and if
you've fall and your bones
00:23:58.64\00:24:02.11
with sins. You're ask
your approaches for risk,
00:24:02.14\00:24:04.14
that is serious fracture
like your hip fracture and
00:24:04.17\00:24:06.69
even ultimately dieing
from your fracture dramatically
00:24:06.72\00:24:09.90
increased. What messages
as an orthopedic surgeon,
00:24:09.93\00:24:13.86
do you give when it come
to maintaining healthy bone
00:24:13.89\00:24:17.94
mass throughout the lives spend?
00:24:17.97\00:24:19.44
Yes and how do you say
about fractures and death
00:24:20.18\00:24:22.99
is very important,
because United States of people,
00:24:23.02\00:24:27.35
if they fall down,
break your hip an about
00:24:27.38\00:24:30.30
300 000 years and you're
do that, you've a 33 percent
00:24:30.33\00:24:35.06
chance of dieing of
that within the one year.
00:24:35.09\00:24:37.74
Wow! And that's you know,
00:24:37.77\00:24:39.16
that's boost statistics
and what you've diseases
00:24:39.19\00:24:41.16
we've been talking
about. Even then many cancers.
00:24:41.19\00:24:43.70
Then many cancers exactly,
so people over look you know,
00:24:43.97\00:24:47.70
they impact of a fracture,
people who break, you know
00:24:47.73\00:24:52.64
a hip, only one third of
them ever give back to same
00:24:52.67\00:24:56.68
level of activity that
they had before they broke it,
00:24:56.71\00:25:00.16
most of them spend the
rest of our life worry to death
00:25:00.19\00:25:02.28
they're gonna fall again
and they own get out with
00:25:02.31\00:25:04.21
their friends and
neighbors and they becomes
00:25:04.24\00:25:05.92
socially isolated. Aha!
00:25:05.95\00:25:07.64
One fist end up in the
nursing home permanently.
00:25:07.67\00:25:10.66
Wow! Just about all him end up
00:25:10.69\00:25:12.56
in the nursing for about
6 weeks, so when you talking
00:25:12.59\00:25:16.13
about hip fractures. Aha!
00:25:16.16\00:25:18.48
And bond mass, the best
thing is to make sure you
00:25:18.51\00:25:22.49
keep your bone mass up,
when you're younger. How do you
00:25:22.52\00:25:25.38
do that? Whether sank it
cause bone loss, anything
00:25:25.41\00:25:29.41
that creates more acid
in your system, sort of pops
00:25:29.44\00:25:32.74
especially brands sort of
pops meat, especially meats
00:25:32.77\00:25:36.36
sort of high in the amino
acids that form acids like
00:25:36.39\00:25:39.77
Sulphuric acid
and phosphoric acid,
00:25:39.80\00:25:41.62
that's just about old
animal products, were if your
00:25:41.65\00:25:44.02
not milk, is not helpful
for osteoporoses and I know
00:25:44.05\00:25:47.65
kind was a shark, but
the countries where they
00:25:47.68\00:25:50.04
drink more milk,
have more osteoporoses,
00:25:50.07\00:25:52.45
somebody who drank more
milk when they're 20 as much
00:25:52.48\00:25:55.04
more likely have your
osteoporoses when they're 80.
00:25:55.07\00:25:57.18
These are interesting
facts, but the weight have
00:25:58.41\00:26:01.09
maintained your bone mass
than is number one exercise
00:26:01.12\00:26:06.30
and we keep coming back to that.
00:26:06.33\00:26:07.95
Umm! And it's because your
00:26:07.98\00:26:09.62
bones tend to respond to
the amount of use they get.
00:26:09.65\00:26:13.86
Okay. If they get
lots of use, they put down
00:26:13.89\00:26:16.11
in more calcium,
they don't get much use,
00:26:16.14\00:26:18.19
they just spends with
their weight and so they're
00:26:18.22\00:26:21.09
always dynamic and so
people who are on their feet
00:26:21.12\00:26:24.74
to a walk for exercise
and like a half our day
00:26:24.77\00:26:28.87
of 30 percent less after
get osteoporoses, those that
00:26:29.31\00:26:32.08
are on their feet 4
hours a day or 40 percent less
00:26:32.11\00:26:34.58
after get osteoporoses
and then there is the
00:26:34.61\00:26:37.52
factor of sunlight. Umm!
00:26:37.55\00:26:40.23
Now, the farther north
you get, the more its cold the
00:26:40.26\00:26:42.49
winter and less sun
there is in the winter
00:26:42.52\00:26:44.48
and people tend
out more osteoporosis.
00:26:44.51\00:26:46.51
Umm! But if you get on the
00:26:46.54\00:26:49.75
summer and get some
sunlight that Vitamin D
00:26:49.78\00:26:52.31
even very important.
Excellent! In fact you
00:26:52.34\00:26:55.59
know, Larvin turns
to have started the
00:26:55.62\00:26:57.98
recommending the people
out north, take a Vitamin D
00:26:58.01\00:27:00.57
supplement. Umm!
I do that myself,
00:27:00.60\00:27:02.81
I tell people that if
you're north of about kind
00:27:02.84\00:27:07.15
of the middle of the US,
so even below that. You got
00:27:07.18\00:27:10.79
a good, I am pretty far
to get plenty of Vitamin D
00:27:10.82\00:27:13.28
in the winter, even if you
getting out sufficient hours.
00:27:13.31\00:27:16.02
And isn't the recommendation
just in, just come out
00:27:16.05\00:27:18.87
for some with osteoporosis
of 1000mg twice a day.
00:27:18.90\00:27:21.95
1000 international units,
if what we're saying is the,
00:27:21.98\00:27:25.43
the recommended amount
for everyone. We often give
00:27:25.46\00:27:27.51
more in serious
situations. Well, listen
00:27:27.54\00:27:31.07
our time is already
slipped away Health aging is a
00:27:31.76\00:27:34.75
fascinating subject, but I
hope you've got the message
00:27:34.78\00:27:37.10
today, there is often
simple things started early
00:27:37.13\00:27:40.27
in life and even if you
haven't started early in life
00:27:40.30\00:27:42.92
and you're tuning in
today and you feel like you're
00:27:42.95\00:27:45.98
quite up in the years.
These simple life style have it
00:27:46.01\00:27:48.90
to healthy diet,
regular physical exercise,
00:27:48.93\00:27:51.29
not smoking, a positive
attitude, these things could
00:27:51.32\00:27:54.71
make a profound difference,
yes mind the conventional
00:27:54.74\00:27:58.28
screening recommendation
keep tabs on your health,
00:27:58.31\00:28:01.22
work with you doctor
and above all put your trust
00:28:01.25\00:28:04.51
in God, he is the great healer,
00:28:04.54\00:28:06.60
the great secret
to healthy aging.
00:28:06.63\00:28:08.80
