00:00:02.96\00:00:04.70
not intended to

00:00:04.73\00:00:06.16
personalized professional care.
00:00:06.19\00:00:08.28

00:00:13.88\00:00:16.48
Hello, and welcome
to "Wonderfully Made."
00:00:36.50\00:00:38.22
My name is John Lomacang.
00:00:38.25\00:00:39.50
Thank you for
tuning in to a program
00:00:39.53\00:00:41.76
that I believe is
informative and it's going
00:00:41.79\00:00:43.82
to enhance your
approach to what it means
00:00:43.85\00:00:46.93
to revolutionize your
life in the areas of health
00:00:46.96\00:00:49.50
and a number of other
areas. We have with us
00:00:49.53\00:00:52.11
today somebody that I
am excited to interview
00:00:52.14\00:00:54.97
Dr. Yvonne Lewis,
who is Board certified in
00:00:55.00\00:00:58.08
traditional Chinese
medicine and also a naturopathic
00:00:58.11\00:01:00.88
doctor. But a person who
also has an additional side
00:01:00.91\00:01:04.81
to that, she is a
Christian who knows the Lord
00:01:04.84\00:01:06.91
and I believe that
makes this program all that
00:01:06.94\00:01:09.74
much better, so good
to have here Dr. Lewis.
00:01:09.77\00:01:11.98
Thank you Pastor
John. It's my pleasure.
00:01:12.01\00:01:14.14
You know, what also is
exciting for me is that,
00:01:14.17\00:01:15.89
that there we've known
each other for sometime.
00:01:15.92\00:01:17.61
I won't mention how
long, but it's good to see you
00:01:17.64\00:01:20.86
here, and have the
privilege of interviewing you.
00:01:20.89\00:01:23.21
Thank you, thank you
so much. You are also an
00:01:23.24\00:01:25.68
author. Yes. And the
book we gonna be talking
00:01:25.71\00:01:28.11
about today, one of the
books, you have authored
00:01:28.14\00:01:29.61
is one entitled: "Great
Day." Just tell us about that?
00:01:29.64\00:01:32.65
Great Days, nine principles,
00:01:32.68\00:01:34.58
to revolutionize your
life. Great Days is actually an
00:01:34.61\00:01:38.02
acronym for these nine
principles that if we apply
00:01:38.05\00:01:41.41
them our lives truly can change.
00:01:41.44\00:01:43.53
Now, why would we
want a change of life
00:01:43.56\00:01:46.97
in a world where problems are
00:01:47.00\00:01:48.61
abandoning in
the areas of health?
00:01:48.64\00:01:50.21
Oh! Because we have a
crisis here in America.
00:01:50.24\00:01:54.84
In America we have
the best physicians
00:01:54.87\00:01:57.58
but the worse health.
We have a situation with
00:01:57.61\00:02:01.58
the gross domestic
product has risen from
00:02:01.61\00:02:03.74
5 to 15% in health
costs. 75 to 90% of all the
00:02:03.77\00:02:09.93
visits to primary
care practitioners are
00:02:09.96\00:02:12.98
from stress-related disorders.
00:02:13.01\00:02:14.80
Twenty-five million
people have been diagnosed
00:02:14.83\00:02:17.71
with heart
disease. Twenty-five million
00:02:17.74\00:02:19.91
people each year are
diagnosed with heart disease,
00:02:19.94\00:02:23.41
and diabetes over the
past 20 years has risen over
00:02:23.44\00:02:26.41
400% by the day's end
1.4 million people will have
00:02:26.44\00:02:32.70
been diagnosed with
cancer. So we have a
00:02:32.73\00:02:35.56
situation in this
country that is critical.
00:02:35.59\00:02:38.67
We are in a health
crises and we have to say
00:02:38.70\00:02:41.10
why? What's going
on? Well, the problem is
00:02:41.13\00:02:45.16
really that we
have weapons of mass
00:02:45.19\00:02:47.84
destruction our
knives and forks. Okay.
00:02:47.87\00:02:51.67
That is the first
thing. We have faulty lifestyle
00:02:51.70\00:02:55.35
choices we've made
faulty lifestyle choices,
00:02:55.38\00:02:58.16
it actually result in
75% of the diseases that
00:02:58.19\00:03:02.21
we have. We also pass
on a "Legacy of Death"
00:03:02.24\00:03:07.19
to our children and
grandchildren because there
00:03:07.22\00:03:10.69
is lack of
knowledge of what to do.
00:03:10.72\00:03:13.98
Mamma Joe for
example in the movies Sofu
00:03:14.01\00:03:17.71
every week had a
dinner after Church,
00:03:17.74\00:03:21.17
and she would fry
catfish, fry chicken,
00:03:21.20\00:03:25.26
grains with hog maws
all kinds of greasy dishes
00:03:25.29\00:03:29.96
that ended up with
her having diabetes,
00:03:29.99\00:03:33.13
hypertension and kidney failure.
00:03:33.16\00:03:40.93
She just died as a
result of these bad foods.
00:03:40.96\00:03:45.85
This is what we are
doing because we have this
00:03:45.88\00:03:48.24
lack of knowledge.
There is also so much
00:03:48.27\00:03:50.59
information out there
that there is confusion about
00:03:50.62\00:03:54.11
what to do because
people just don't know.
00:03:54.91\00:03:57.55
Shall I do this,
should I do that,
00:03:57.58\00:03:59.00
what shall I do, so
we figure, if we can just
00:03:59.03\00:04:02.07
condense these some
principles for people
00:04:02.10\00:04:05.90
then they can get healthier.
In doing this condensation
00:04:05.93\00:04:10.08
we have to integrate
the physical, emotional,
00:04:10.11\00:04:13.54
and spiritual aspects
of the person in order to
00:04:13.57\00:04:16.43
have true health. As
you saying in this world
00:04:16.46\00:04:21.49
with this so much information
peoples are sometimes
00:04:21.52\00:04:23.91
operating out of
ignorance like you said a moment
00:04:23.94\00:04:26.64
ago lack of knowledge
and in the other thing
00:04:26.67\00:04:28.62
I want to emphasize they
are passing on tradition.
00:04:28.65\00:04:31.15
Yes. That in many
cases are what we called,
00:04:31.18\00:04:34.55
you know, sometimes you
are the doctor in level.
00:04:34.58\00:04:36.43
Is there high
potential in your family,
00:04:36.46\00:04:38.46
is there, history of
heart attack or is there history
00:04:38.49\00:04:41.85
of cancer we say,
yes. But so many times
00:04:41.88\00:04:44.77
we don't realize
that we are the ones
00:04:44.80\00:04:46.41
that bringing it
on by our practices.
00:04:46.44\00:04:48.49
Absolutely, absolutely,
so what is the solution?
00:04:48.52\00:04:52.10
What we do about
this? And that's really why,
00:04:52.13\00:04:54.84
we have Great Days,
because great days is the
00:04:54.87\00:04:58.00
solution. Okay G is
for Good, nutritious food.
00:04:58.03\00:05:01.71
R is for Rest, relaxation,
and stress reduction.
00:05:01.74\00:05:05.31
E is Exercise. A
is Adequate hydration.
00:05:05.34\00:05:08.97
T is Thoughts that are positive.
00:05:09.00\00:05:10.97
D is Detoxification, A
the Acid/Alkaline balance.
00:05:11.00\00:05:15.14
Y is for Yielding to God,
and His plan for your life.
00:05:15.17\00:05:18.32
S is Supplementation.
So if we implement
00:05:18.35\00:05:23.22
these nine principles,
we truly can revolutionize
00:05:23.25\00:05:26.57
our lives by the grace of God.
00:05:26.60\00:05:28.23
That's right. But now we
go back, let's start with
00:05:28.26\00:05:30.38
a great or good
nutritious food, I say,
00:05:30.41\00:05:32.44
great because I
think you should also enjoy
00:05:32.47\00:05:34.85
what you eat. Yes,
that's why it's good,
00:05:34.88\00:05:37.83
nutritious good.
Not just nutritious
00:05:37.86\00:05:39.82
because people want good taste.
00:05:39.85\00:05:41.44
That is true.
Among good taste as well,
00:05:41.47\00:05:43.15
so we have to have
good nutritious food.
00:05:43.18\00:05:45.46
So I like the fact is
you say that because a lot
00:05:45.49\00:05:48.21
of time when we talk
health, people ask the question,
00:05:48.24\00:05:51.55
how does it taste.
That's right, that's right.
00:05:51.58\00:05:54.96
So, show us how we could
have good nutritious food?
00:05:54.99\00:05:57.21
Well, first of all we
have to understand the role
00:05:57.24\00:06:00.35
that food plays with our
bodies and with our health
00:06:00.38\00:06:04.79
because I think that
many people just live to eat
00:06:04.82\00:06:08.04
instead of eating to
live. So there is this whole
00:06:08.07\00:06:11.39
idea of well, I am just
going to eat whatever it is
00:06:11.42\00:06:15.25
I want at the moment
without thinking about
00:06:15.28\00:06:17.61
what food is. We have a
graphic that explains that
00:06:17.64\00:06:21.47
food is actually a
nutritional intervention for
00:06:21.50\00:06:24.55
healing. We have
sixty trillions cells or so,
00:06:24.58\00:06:29.22
and our food actually is
medicine for those cells.
00:06:29.25\00:06:34.41
Cells require certain
nutritional elements to be
00:06:34.44\00:06:40.57
healthy and food
works at the cellular level
00:06:40.60\00:06:43.79
and is the sole
source of energy for all
00:06:43.82\00:06:46.45
sixty trillions of our
cells. We are truly fearfully
00:06:46.48\00:06:50.27
and wonderfully made.
Food is the sole source
00:06:50.30\00:06:54.01
of energy actually,
and so it should be whole
00:06:54.04\00:06:58.14
and natural. You know,
I like that you are saying
00:06:58.17\00:07:01.44
that because we
don't often think about,
00:07:01.47\00:07:03.16
you know, when you
see a commercial such as
00:07:03.19\00:07:06.10
the potato chip
commercial and they lead us it
00:07:06.13\00:07:08.69
by saying but you
can't eat just one.
00:07:08.72\00:07:10.44
That's right.
And or then sometimes
00:07:10.47\00:07:13.40
you driving or
walking through a Mall
00:07:13.43\00:07:15.74
I remember a years
ago I used to have the
00:07:15.77\00:07:17.50
Cinnabon craving, you
know, and they will do it
00:07:17.53\00:07:20.53
that way so that
you begin to respond
00:07:20.56\00:07:22.61
based on impulse,
that's right, rather than
00:07:22.64\00:07:25.42
what's your needs
are. That's right,
00:07:25.45\00:07:27.44
and it smells good,
you know, it really kind of
00:07:27.47\00:07:29.97
incorporates over the senses, or
00:07:30.00\00:07:32.08
so it smells
good, it looks good,
00:07:32.11\00:07:34.02
and we think that is
good for us and it's not
00:07:34.05\00:07:37.34
necessarily so just
because they looks good
00:07:37.37\00:07:39.78
and smells good.
It's not necessarily good
00:07:39.81\00:07:42.72
nutritious food, so
we have to really make
00:07:42.75\00:07:46.01
sure that what we are
getting is actually feeding
00:07:46.04\00:07:49.04
our bodies because it
said that life and death
00:07:49.07\00:07:51.88
really take place
at the cellular level.
00:07:51.91\00:07:54.70
And so our food
has to feed the cells,
00:07:54.73\00:07:58.91
and we are truly as I
said as words say fearfully
00:07:58.94\00:08:03.30
and wonderfully made.
So when you think about it
00:08:03.33\00:08:05.42
when you pull up a
brand new car to a gas pump
00:08:05.45\00:08:08.01
or as we would say
in America we say gas
00:08:08.04\00:08:10.92
but the rest of the
world is petrol or fuel.
00:08:10.95\00:08:13.02
We look at the requirements.
00:08:13.05\00:08:16.32
We never would
ignore the manufactures
00:08:16.35\00:08:18.81
requirements. We
would never put these on
00:08:18.84\00:08:21.07
a gas engine and
vice versa. But why is it
00:08:21.10\00:08:24.36
that we ignore the
manufactures councils
00:08:24.39\00:08:26.94
when it comes to
God's word. That is such a
00:08:26.97\00:08:29.30
great point we have an
operators manual in the
00:08:29.33\00:08:33.76
word and so why not
take those principles
00:08:33.79\00:08:37.31
from the word and
actually apply them to our lives
00:08:37.34\00:08:40.22
because that's what's
going to feed these body.
00:08:40.25\00:08:42.88
That's what's
going to give the bodies,
00:08:42.91\00:08:44.68
the body what it needs to
actually function optimally.
00:08:44.71\00:08:48.37
Okay. We have
actually taken things that
00:08:48.40\00:08:53.79
we shouldn't eat and
we are eating them in huge
00:08:53.82\00:08:57.96
quantities. There is a
Chinese proverb that says,
00:08:57.99\00:09:01.48
"Whatever was the
father of disease,
00:09:01.51\00:09:05.87
an ill diet was the
mother", because we are
00:09:05.90\00:09:09.58
really truly
eating the wrong thing.
00:09:09.61\00:09:11.88
Every year the
average person consumes
00:09:11.91\00:09:14.58
about 756 donuts, 60
pounds of cakes and cookies,
00:09:14.61\00:09:19.37
23 gallons of ice
cream, 7 pounds of chips,
00:09:19.40\00:09:23.46
22 pounds of
cookies, 90 pounds of fat
00:09:23.49\00:09:27.53
and that 134
pounds of refined sugar.
00:09:27.56\00:09:30.99
So what we need to
do really is to go from
00:09:31.02\00:09:35.56
the artificial to the
whole food. Go from artificial
00:09:35.59\00:09:41.64
foods which, you
know, for example;
00:09:41.67\00:09:43.82
what the whole
food? What would be a
00:09:43.85\00:09:46.86
whole food between a potato chip
00:09:46.89\00:09:49.15
and the bake potato?
Hum! That's a tough one.
00:09:49.18\00:09:53.01
It always we'll be
at good bake potato,
00:09:54.89\00:09:57.32
but you know, we
don't think that way.
00:09:57.35\00:09:59.20
That's right. We
don't. We want the, you know,
00:09:59.23\00:10:01.67
we want the salt, we
want the crunchiness of that,
00:10:01.70\00:10:04.36
we've just one our
taste buds and I think
00:10:04.39\00:10:06.81
that's where we
often get off track.
00:10:06.84\00:10:09.25
If it taste good it's not
00:10:10.24\00:10:11.88
necessarily good
for us. That's right
00:10:11.91\00:10:13.98
Because, we eat it,
what you just mentioned
00:10:14.01\00:10:15.31
I mean everything
on that list really
00:10:15.34\00:10:17.22
appeals to the taste Yes
00:10:17.25\00:10:19.03
Seven hundred and
fifty donuts, yes, yes,
00:10:19.06\00:10:22.60
and so, And
that's an old statistic.
00:10:22.63\00:10:24.29
I am really could be more now.
00:10:24.32\00:10:25.75
Yeah. I mean so, so
the taste buds should
00:10:25.78\00:10:28.26
not be the
measuring line. That's right.
00:10:28.29\00:10:31.11
We want it again; we
want to have good taste.
00:10:31.14\00:10:34.17
We don't want to
sacrifice taste for nutrition
00:10:34.20\00:10:37.09
but we can have
both, okay, and that's what
00:10:37.12\00:10:39.66
people need to know.
Sometimes there has to be
00:10:39.69\00:10:41.75
little adjustment in the
taste buds but yet we can
00:10:41.78\00:10:46.55
have both, and that's
one of the things that,
00:10:46.58\00:10:48.84
that I try to share
with my patients that we can
00:10:48.87\00:10:52.01
have both things;
taste and nutrition.
00:10:52.04\00:10:54.48
We do have to have
whole foods and whole foods
00:10:54.51\00:10:57.19
really are foods that
are obtained from natural
00:10:57.22\00:11:00.54
not synthetic sources.
Whole foods are found in as
00:11:00.57\00:11:05.60
close to their
natural state as possible.
00:11:05.63\00:11:08.57
So again, we
have the potato chip
00:11:08.60\00:11:10.37
and the bake
potato. We have the cucumber
00:11:10.40\00:11:13.66
and the pickle And the tomato
00:11:13.69\00:11:15.48
And the tomato,
exactly, so see you brought up
00:11:15.51\00:11:19.72
an excellent point,
the tomato, the tomato,
00:11:19.75\00:11:22.89
one tomato contains
about 10,000 phytochemicals.
00:11:22.92\00:11:28.76
Phytochemicals are
critical. They are major key for
00:11:29.83\00:11:35.03
health because of we
don't have phytochemicals
00:11:35.06\00:11:38.20
in our diets. We gonna
get sick, phytochemicals
00:11:38.23\00:11:42.09
such as
sulforaphane and indoles.
00:11:42.12\00:11:45.23
These are critical
compounds that are really
00:11:45.26\00:11:48.43
important to found in
broccoli, cauliflower, kale.
00:11:48.46\00:11:51.79
They actually boost the
synthesis of anti-cancer
00:11:51.82\00:11:55.28
enzymes in the
body, and Indoles also a
00:11:55.31\00:11:59.50
phytochemicals found in
broccoli, Brussels sprouts,
00:11:59.53\00:12:02.43
cabbage, cauliflower.
So these phytochemicals
00:12:02.46\00:12:06.04
when we have them
in the diet, it makes a
00:12:06.07\00:12:09.47
tremendous difference.
We can fight disease with
00:12:09.50\00:12:12.65
the things that
God has given us.
00:12:12.68\00:12:14.01
That's why when we
told eat your fruits
00:12:14.04\00:12:16.30
and vegetables
there is something true
00:12:16.33\00:12:18.84
that it's not just, you
know, somebody being craving
00:12:18.87\00:12:21.42
and say, each of
your fruits and vegetables
00:12:21.45\00:12:22.93
there are thousands of
phytochemicals in our fruits
00:12:22.96\00:12:26.75
and vegetables that, the
God is place there to make
00:12:26.78\00:12:30.63
us healthy. You
know, my mind is just going
00:12:30.66\00:12:33.85
really moving faster I
know because what you are
00:12:33.88\00:12:36.74
saying when we talked
about the benefit of just
00:12:36.77\00:12:39.44
the tomato, you
know, for example;
00:12:39.47\00:12:41.56
we talked about various cancers.
00:12:41.59\00:12:43.20
Sometimes, men deal
with prostate cancer
00:12:43.23\00:12:46.30
and the lycopene
that's found in tomato.
00:12:46.33\00:12:48.94
Well, now you ask
yourself, or would you
00:12:48.97\00:12:50.48
rather the tomato, or
just the peel with some
00:12:50.51\00:12:53.91
of the extraction
from the tomato. Exactly
00:12:53.94\00:12:56.77
Here you made the
point get it at the most
00:12:56.80\00:12:58.38
natural sources as
possible. I just saw on the news
00:12:58.41\00:13:01.96
just recently how
one of the physician
00:13:01.99\00:13:05.48
noticed the lack of,
the use of vegetables
00:13:05.51\00:13:08.32
and now he is writing
prescriptions for broccoli,
00:13:08.35\00:13:11.43
prescriptions he
said because I can't get
00:13:11.46\00:13:13.71
you take it by suggesting
it. I am now going to make
00:13:13.74\00:13:16.50
it a prescription and
that showing that as you
00:13:16.53\00:13:19.02
need the point.
The great food that
00:13:19.05\00:13:21.53
God has made for our
health is being ignored.
00:13:21.56\00:13:24.55
Absolutely, broccoli
alone has sulforaphane in it.
00:13:24.58\00:13:28.95
Sulforaphane is an
isothiocyanate it's a
00:13:28.98\00:13:32.22
form of the phytochemical
that is anti-inflammatory,
00:13:32.25\00:13:38.61
anti-carcinogenic.
It can suppress tumor
00:13:38.64\00:13:43.03
angiogenesis.
It is a tremendous,
00:13:43.06\00:13:46.17
tremendous phytochemical
and it's in broccoli.
00:13:46.20\00:13:50.84
God is equipped us with
what we need in the earth
00:13:50.87\00:13:55.24
in these fruits and
vegetables that we can have
00:13:55.27\00:13:57.80
to really help to
promote good health
00:13:57.83\00:14:00.31
and to fight disease.
So when we go a restaurant
00:14:00.34\00:14:03.95
and I use the
broccoli and the tomato
00:14:03.98\00:14:05.59
as they dressing, as
the set up for the meat.
00:14:05.62\00:14:09.00
Yes We should make
that the main focal point.
00:14:09.03\00:14:12.24
See that's one of the
things that I teaches well,
00:14:12.27\00:14:15.14
okay, because our
plates are dominated
00:14:15.17\00:14:18.44
or the proportions are
wrong. It's very simple.
00:14:18.47\00:14:22.38
If we have a
huge we have a plate,
00:14:22.41\00:14:25.77
let's have raw
vegetables and cooked vegetables
00:14:25.80\00:14:29.67
and that dominate
have some meatless stage
00:14:29.70\00:14:33.50
where you don't
have meat at all.
00:14:33.53\00:14:34.97
If you do eat meat,
make the portion fit in
00:14:35.00\00:14:38.45
the palm of your
hand. There is a doctor
00:14:38.48\00:14:42.24
Colin Campbell who
wrote a book entitled
00:14:42.27\00:14:44.85
"The Chinese Study".
It's a huge epidemiological
00:14:44.88\00:14:47.63
study that involved
thousands of the Chinese
00:14:47.66\00:14:52.80
and it showed the
nutritional connection.
00:14:52.83\00:14:55.29
The connection
between nutrition and cancer,
00:14:55.32\00:14:58.01
and he taught
basically that when we eat meat
00:14:58.04\00:15:03.11
it turns on the p53 cancer gene.
00:15:03.14\00:15:05.76
When you eliminate
that from the dietary it
00:15:05.79\00:15:08.72
turns off the p53 cancer
gene. So have some meatless
00:15:08.75\00:15:12.95
days you can just
kind of move toward a
00:15:12.98\00:15:17.38
vegetarian regimen
and have your plate
00:15:17.41\00:15:21.29
dominated by
vegetables, cooked and raw
00:15:21.32\00:15:24.81
and then little starch
and a little meat if you
00:15:24.84\00:15:28.39
have to have to meat.
And when we think about
00:15:28.42\00:15:30.20
that's what we
called we are talking about
00:15:30.23\00:15:31.42
balance here.
Exactly! A lot of people don't
00:15:31.45\00:15:34.47
like the balance.
See in America we have
00:15:34.50\00:15:36.27
something we
called the American diet,
00:15:36.30\00:15:38.21
but if you look at
as in the Chinese study.
00:15:38.24\00:15:41.06
We didn't
interview with that the,
00:15:41.09\00:15:43.19
who is doctor and
the person who wrote the
00:15:43.22\00:15:45.40
book on the Chinese
study very fascinating.
00:15:45.43\00:15:47.50
Because, when you see
the results you can't argue
00:15:47.53\00:15:51.45
with the results. You
see people often want to buy
00:15:51.48\00:15:54.73
into that, which
is successful, yes,
00:15:54.76\00:15:56.56
but to get there
requires modification of our
00:15:56.59\00:15:59.14
decisions. Absolutely!
00:15:59.17\00:16:00.89
Okay, and a
change in our habits.
00:16:00.92\00:16:02.62
Absolutely, and that is
what many people are not
00:16:02.65\00:16:05.20
willing to do. I had a
patient coming to me with
00:16:05.23\00:16:08.58
cancer recently and
we were talking about
00:16:08.61\00:16:11.71
how to change her
diet just something that
00:16:11.74\00:16:15.01
she could do. As she got
a theory because she thought
00:16:15.04\00:16:19.06
why don't really like
nuts and I don't really like
00:16:19.09\00:16:21.99
seeds and I don't, and
I thought this is so sad
00:16:22.02\00:16:25.59
because her life
is on the line here,
00:16:25.62\00:16:28.41
and she is going
to have to make some
00:16:28.44\00:16:29.91
modifications in the
diet and so the things
00:16:29.94\00:16:34.26
that we've done,
get us where we are.
00:16:34.29\00:16:36.75
So in order to have
a change in what our
00:16:36.78\00:16:42.08
results are, we have
to change our behavior.
00:16:42.11\00:16:44.60
Behavior modification
it's critical that we foster
00:16:44.63\00:16:48.93
an internal environment
that is conducive to illness,
00:16:48.96\00:16:52.09
so we have to change
that internal environment
00:16:52.12\00:16:55.36
and make it
unfriendly to disease.
00:16:55.39\00:16:57.86
And that's what
changing to good nutritious
00:16:57.89\00:17:01.18
food will do. So we
have to resist the sensory
00:17:01.21\00:17:04.65
attack because
that's really big in America
00:17:04.68\00:17:07.35
and I am using the word
America here not loosely
00:17:07.38\00:17:09.76
because I believe
that we set trends a lot,
00:17:09.79\00:17:12.30
yes, for what happens
around the world I was in France
00:17:12.33\00:17:15.91
and I remember at
that time I was there,
00:17:15.94\00:17:18.10
there was a protest.
I don't want to mention
00:17:18.13\00:17:20.47
the restaurant for not
slanting anyone particularly
00:17:20.50\00:17:24.03
whether was fast food
restaurant being opened
00:17:24.06\00:17:25.67
upon Paris, France
and the French people were
00:17:25.70\00:17:28.29
protesting because he
said, you are bringing into
00:17:28.32\00:17:30.71
our country something
that's kind a upset our
00:17:30.74\00:17:32.68
way of life. At
that particular time when
00:17:32.71\00:17:34.83
lunch time came, a cab
driver or people would sit
00:17:34.86\00:17:38.07
down for an hour and
half and had a to good lunch
00:17:38.10\00:17:41.66
and take a short nap
before they go back to work.
00:17:41.69\00:17:44.90
In America we've stopped
half an hour while eating
00:17:44.93\00:17:48.57
on the way to
lunch, on the way back
00:17:48.60\00:17:50.14
and we jump back to
our desk. And we are hoping
00:17:50.17\00:17:54.36
to produce, produce,
produce because we are
00:17:54.39\00:17:56.77
trying to add to the
bottom line, the dollar line,
00:17:56.80\00:17:58.79
then we end up
spending that on our
00:17:58.82\00:18:00.37
medical costs. Yes, exactly,
00:18:00.40\00:18:02.91
we gonna to pay
whether it's a front,
00:18:02.94\00:18:05.34
at the front end or
back end. That's right
00:18:05.37\00:18:07.42
We gonna pay to our choices
So behavior in the sensory
00:18:07.45\00:18:10.00
in America, I mean
all the commercials in the
00:18:10.03\00:18:12.27
billboard, in the fast
foods and you know getting it
00:18:12.30\00:18:15.45
now in the taste,
and the packaging.
00:18:15.48\00:18:17.73
The packaging is
lower as well. You know,
00:18:17.76\00:18:20.60
we have to be renewed. We
can't be confirmed to this
00:18:20.63\00:18:25.37
world we have to
be transformed by the
00:18:25.40\00:18:27.60
renewing of our
minds. How do we do that?
00:18:27.63\00:18:29.55
We study, we learn,
we watch programs like
00:18:29.58\00:18:33.16
wonderfully made, we read books,
00:18:33.19\00:18:34.97
we have to educate
ourselves, we have to take
00:18:35.00\00:18:38.30
charge of our own
health. This is critical.
00:18:38.33\00:18:41.29
So I would like to
also talk about cruciferous
00:18:41.32\00:18:44.69
vegetables because
that's also important as
00:18:44.72\00:18:48.07
the kind of
weapon against cancer.
00:18:48.10\00:18:50.89
Cruciferous
vegetables when we consume
00:18:50.92\00:18:54.56
broccoli for example,
it reduces the risk of
00:18:54.59\00:18:57.31
colorectal cancer.
And broccoli sprouts,
00:18:57.34\00:19:00.35
a couple of tablespoon
of broccoli sprouts will
00:19:00.38\00:19:03.03
contain 20 to 50
times the sulforaphane in a
00:19:03.06\00:19:06.56
serving of broccoli and
we can put that in the salad,
00:19:06.59\00:19:08.88
just sprinkle some
broccoli sprouts in your salad.
00:19:08.91\00:19:11.46
Watercress also for
those who smoke and we
00:19:11.49\00:19:15.26
certainly don't want
you to, but watercress can
00:19:15.29\00:19:18.14
protect the lungs from
nicotine and that doesn't
00:19:18.17\00:19:21.20
mean that if you
eat bunch of watercress
00:19:21.23\00:19:23.72
you won't get lung cancer, no.
00:19:23.75\00:19:25.45
But we are saying
that inherit in watercress
00:19:25.48\00:19:29.04
are some compounds that
are protective with nicotine.
00:19:29.07\00:19:34.36
Watercress, lot of
people don't even know
00:19:34.39\00:19:36.27
what watercress is?
It's a little garnish that
00:19:36.30\00:19:39.45
you see sometimes
in the restaurant,
00:19:39.48\00:19:41.46
kind of bitter. But it
has medicinal properties
00:19:41.49\00:19:45.40
and that's the
beauty of the fruits and
00:19:45.43\00:19:48.62
vegetables, I said
not only to the taste good
00:19:48.65\00:19:51.62
usually watercress is
little bitter but usually they
00:19:51.65\00:19:54.85
taste good and they
have such a wonderful effect
00:19:54.88\00:19:58.55
on the body. I mean
you could put into the
00:19:58.58\00:20:00.26
course of your salad.
You can make it a kind of
00:20:00.29\00:20:03.56
just like you do a coarse coir,
00:20:03.59\00:20:06.29
put those greens
together that compliment
00:20:06.32\00:20:08.50
themselves and in some
cases, when I was growing up,
00:20:08.53\00:20:11.82
my mother taught us
how to eat watercress
00:20:11.85\00:20:14.15
just like that. Yes.
00:20:14.18\00:20:16.08
And after a while you
just acquire the taste for it
00:20:16.11\00:20:18.61
and she said
that's really good for you
00:20:18.64\00:20:20.42
and you will really
like it, but we begin to see,
00:20:20.45\00:20:22.97
and matter of fact
that you talked about
00:20:23.00\00:20:24.39
what's the world
you use cruciferous,
00:20:24.42\00:20:26.31
Cruciferous, yes,
yes. And so break that down
00:20:26.34\00:20:30.51
little bit for those
of us who are layman.
00:20:30.54\00:20:32.45
Well, cruciferous
vegetables are the vegetables
00:20:32.48\00:20:35.25
like cauliflower, broccoli
it's that kind of bulky,
00:20:35.28\00:20:42.58
okay, that they
are just chockfull of
00:20:42.61\00:20:46.69
phytochemicals and
nutrients and they have been
00:20:46.72\00:20:49.24
used in different
studies to show the efficacy in
00:20:49.27\00:20:54.26
preventing cancer
and that kind of thing.
00:20:54.29\00:20:57.60
There was a study
that was done on men
00:20:57.63\00:21:01.07
and women between
the ages of 50 and 74
00:21:01.10\00:21:04.20
by the Harbor-UCLA
medical school and the
00:21:04.23\00:21:09.69
participants ate
the most broccoli,
00:21:09.72\00:21:12.07
where half as likely to
develop colorectal cancer,
00:21:13.10\00:21:16.49
so broccoli, cauliflower
we need to just increase
00:21:16.52\00:21:20.90
the consumption
of these cruciferous
00:21:20.93\00:21:22.93
vegetables and they
are really effective.
00:21:22.96\00:21:25.30
And a lot of time
when we got our meal
00:21:25.33\00:21:27.55
in broccoli is included
that's the thing that left
00:21:27.58\00:21:29.44
on the plate.
That's true, that's true,
00:21:29.47\00:21:33.21
that's true And
I have even said to
00:21:33.24\00:21:34.21
someone just recently
if you go to the store
00:21:34.22\00:21:35.87
the section of the store
that has the least amount
00:21:35.90\00:21:39.00
of people is the place
that should have the most
00:21:39.03\00:21:41.67
amount of people,
yes, I mean fruits
00:21:41.70\00:21:43.31
and vegetables we
just kind a slice it very
00:21:43.34\00:21:46.07
quickly, grab a
couple of apples, bananas,
00:21:46.10\00:21:48.06
you know, grapes
things that we are,
00:21:48.09\00:21:49.56
you know, well
acquainted with and just run
00:21:49.59\00:21:52.77
for our lives from the
greens and medications.
00:21:52.80\00:21:55.43
And that such a good
point we tend to get into
00:21:55.46\00:21:58.01
our what? We tend to
get the same things over
00:21:58.04\00:22:01.45
and over again
instead of, you know,
00:22:01.48\00:22:03.45
you just said, bananas
and grapes those are things
00:22:03.48\00:22:06.27
we get, used to,
we love, yeah and they
00:22:06.30\00:22:08.99
are comfort fruits,
you know having some grapes
00:22:09.02\00:22:11.58
which is great, but
let's try some other fruits
00:22:11.61\00:22:14.18
like Kiwi. Let's
try other vegetables,
00:22:14.21\00:22:16.57
you know, eggplant
and things that we don't
00:22:16.60\00:22:19.55
may be normally
use, try them and see,
00:22:19.58\00:22:23.28
you know,
experiment with recipes
00:22:23.31\00:22:25.82
because the more we
get different colors on our
00:22:25.85\00:22:29.21
plates the better each
color can do something.
00:22:29.24\00:22:32.40
Red is good for the
blood and yellows can be
00:22:32.43\00:22:35.72
laxative kind of
vegetable and green is also
00:22:35.75\00:22:40.70
has got the chlorophyll
that's really good for
00:22:40.73\00:22:43.02
blood building. So
let's put different colors of
00:22:43.05\00:22:47.02
vegetables on our
place. So it's make a
00:22:47.05\00:22:48.79
rainbow salad that has
all different colors in it
00:22:48.82\00:22:52.16
and it just it feeds the body.
00:22:52.19\00:22:54.45
It's just a wonderful
thing. God has given us,
00:22:54.48\00:22:56.46
what we need. That is important.
00:22:56.49\00:22:58.11
Now as you transition
to the next aspect of this
00:22:59.21\00:23:02.14
great fruit is all
about. One of the things
00:23:02.17\00:23:05.05
I want to add a caution here,
00:23:05.08\00:23:06.52
this came to my
mind, at sometimes
00:23:06.55\00:23:08.93
people get broccoli
or Brussels sprouts,
00:23:08.96\00:23:11.92
but there are
some places where they
00:23:11.95\00:23:13.55
batter it and they
fry it. So what about,
00:23:13.58\00:23:16.29
Excellent point, the
preparation although is
00:23:16.32\00:23:18.78
so critical, again we
go back to the movie where
00:23:18.81\00:23:21.35
we everything was
fried or has so much grease
00:23:21.38\00:23:24.89
in it that you can't
eat it. We have to be really
00:23:24.92\00:23:28.81
careful about how
we prepare our fruits
00:23:28.84\00:23:31.76
and vegetables.
Let's have a raw,
00:23:31.79\00:23:33.58
again balance is
important. Raw and cooked
00:23:33.61\00:23:36.92
and when it cooked
steamed lightly shortage
00:23:36.95\00:23:40.38
sometimes and may be
some olive oil but the
00:23:40.41\00:23:42.62
less we heat oils the
better, but if we do have
00:23:42.65\00:23:47.58
a heated or we want
that stable on the high heat.
00:23:47.61\00:23:50.95
So you may have olive
oil or even MacNut oil,
00:23:50.98\00:23:56.08
which the Macadamia Nut oil,
00:23:56.11\00:23:58.69
which people can bake
with because they don't
00:23:58.72\00:24:01.18
really like the taste
of olive oil in a cake
00:24:01.21\00:24:03.98
or cookies. So you can
use MacNut oil which is
00:24:04.01\00:24:08.22
good oil, but again
the way we prepare our
00:24:08.25\00:24:13.31
vegetables is critical.
Don't boil them to death.
00:24:13.34\00:24:16.28
Boil out all the
vitamins and enzymes,
00:24:16.31\00:24:19.32
just lightly steam,
keep them kind a crunchy
00:24:19.35\00:24:22.81
and it's good.
Yeah, not deep fried Okra.
00:24:22.84\00:24:25.87
Exactly!. You know
people like to do that.
00:24:25.90\00:24:27.28
They want an okra and
they deep fry any thing,
00:24:27.31\00:24:29.30
you know, Yeah,
take on many vegetables,
00:24:29.33\00:24:31.89
yeah, but if taken
all the minerals, vitamins
00:24:31.92\00:24:34.64
and enzyme out of the
vegetables by preparing
00:24:34.67\00:24:36.98
it that way because the
high heat kills the enzymes.
00:24:37.01\00:24:39.85
So you want to make
sure that you don't fry
00:24:39.88\00:24:41.99
and then kill the life
giving, life promoting aspects
00:24:42.02\00:24:46.49
of the vegetables
you just kind of..
00:24:46.52\00:24:48.99
Upset the whole process
Upset the whole process,
00:24:49.02\00:24:51.58
exactly. Fruits and
vegetables also have
00:24:51.61\00:24:55.13
other benefits. They
maintain the acid/alkaline
00:24:55.16\00:24:59.16
levels in the body and
we gonna talk a little bit
00:24:59.19\00:25:01.75
more about the
acid/alkaline balance.
00:25:01.78\00:25:04.20
Fruits and
vegetables provides soluble
00:25:04.23\00:25:06.98
and insoluble fiber and
they are full of enzymes
00:25:07.01\00:25:10.34
raw fruits and
vegetables are full of enzymes,
00:25:10.37\00:25:12.43
which is really why
we need raw and cooked.
00:25:12.46\00:25:17.12
You know, I like
that you pointed it up
00:25:17.15\00:25:19.29
because sometimes
people say do I have to eat
00:25:19.32\00:25:21.13
everything raw and
there those individuals
00:25:21.16\00:25:23.20
that were sometimes
go to the extreme raw,
00:25:23.23\00:25:26.83
raw, raw and while
the body would crave that
00:25:26.86\00:25:30.38
and after you build
the appetite for that
00:25:30.41\00:25:32.46
you almost become a
convert to only raw.
00:25:32.49\00:25:35.02
But sometimes it's
good to balance even that.
00:25:35.05\00:25:37.59
Talk about that?
I believe that too.
00:25:37.62\00:25:39.82
I used two years ago,
be a proponent of the raw
00:25:39.85\00:25:43.01
diet only but after I
studied traditional Chinese
00:25:43.04\00:25:48.28
medicine and I
realized again the balance is
00:25:48.31\00:25:50.83
important. You
really have to have balance
00:25:50.86\00:25:53.06
and they teach that
the stomach likes warmth.
00:25:53.09\00:25:55.99
The stomach prefers
warmth and so we need
00:25:56.02\00:26:00.51
cooked food and we
need raw again has the
00:26:00.54\00:26:04.57
enzymes in it. And
the cooked, our body
00:26:04.60\00:26:07.52
is don't process
grains, for example,
00:26:07.55\00:26:09.53
well if there are raw
I mean we need to cook
00:26:09.56\00:26:12.09
our grains. So we
should have a balance
00:26:12.12\00:26:14.98
between those things.
Also many people say well,
00:26:15.01\00:26:18.03
let's have move
toward vegetarian diet.
00:26:18.06\00:26:22.43
Where, I am going
to get my protein from.
00:26:22.46\00:26:24.18
This is a common
question. How am I going to
00:26:24.21\00:26:25.97
get my protein? Well,
nuts and seeds are excellent
00:26:26.00\00:26:30.38
sources of protein
and that there are so many
00:26:30.41\00:26:34.73
benefits. Nuts are one of
the highest and best source
00:26:34.76\00:26:37.72
of protein from
plants. They are high in
00:26:37.75\00:26:40.80
antioxidants,
good source of fiber.
00:26:40.83\00:26:43.46
They actually also
reduce the incidents of
00:26:43.49\00:26:47.64
sudden cardiac death.
There is some studies that
00:26:47.67\00:26:50.76
had been done
that showed in 1996,
00:26:50.79\00:26:54.48
for example the
Iowa women's health study
00:26:54.51\00:26:57.22
found that women
who ate the most nuts,
00:26:57.25\00:27:01.76
four times a week
are 40% less like to die
00:27:01.79\00:27:04.65
of heart
disease. And this amazing
00:27:04.68\00:27:06.83
when we talk about that
and what I like to do is as
00:27:06.86\00:27:09.42
we continue in the
process of bringing these
00:27:09.45\00:27:11.90
great programs, if
we would summarize today
00:27:11.93\00:27:14.57
we are talking about
get back to the things
00:27:14.60\00:27:16.19
that God has created for us.
00:27:16.22\00:27:18.54
Start breaking the
trends that are damaging
00:27:18.57\00:27:22.27
our health and start
looking to revolutionize
00:27:22.30\00:27:26.46
the way live. Absolutely,
00:27:26.49\00:27:28.04
that's what we must do.
00:27:28.07\00:27:29.29
And you know,
friends when you think about
00:27:29.32\00:27:31.23
what Dr. Lewis, has
said today many of us
00:27:31.26\00:27:33.13
are looking at our
lives and saying well,
00:27:33.16\00:27:34.88
what kind of trends
do I have in my life
00:27:34.91\00:27:37.05
that is really
altered my health and
00:27:37.08\00:27:39.07
am I going in
the right direction?
00:27:39.10\00:27:40.88
Am I getting more
ill? Am I spending more
00:27:40.91\00:27:43.69
money on
healthcare then on the things
00:27:43.72\00:27:47.43
that I am
bringing to my home too?
00:27:47.46\00:27:49.01
Optimize my
health and to give me the
00:27:49.04\00:27:51.20
stability that God
intense for us to have well.
00:27:51.23\00:27:53.52
We do believe that
we all wonderfully made
00:27:53.55\00:27:55.89
and God has the plan
to maintain that wonderful
00:27:55.92\00:27:59.17
balance between the
natural and the spiritual.
00:27:59.20\00:28:01.92
So continue tuning in
as we continue sharing
00:28:01.95\00:28:04.63
with you the best plan that
00:28:04.66\00:28:06.10
God has for your
life. God bless you.
00:28:06.13\00:28:08.43
