  • >>john bradshaw: this is "it is written."
  • 00:00:20.009 --> 00:00:22.145
  • I'm john bradshaw. thanks for joining me.
  • 00:00:22.145 --> 00:00:25.048
  • In 1962, soviet premier nikita khrushchev
  • 00:00:25.048 --> 00:00:28.885
  • And cuban leader fidel castro began preparing to locate
  • 00:00:28.885 --> 00:00:33.223
  • Soviet missiles in cuba, just 100 miles from american soil.
  • 00:00:33.223 --> 00:00:39.062
  • That moment in history, the closest the cold war came
  • 00:00:39.062 --> 00:00:42.699
  • To nuclear war, became known as the cuban missile crisis.
  • 00:00:42.699 --> 00:00:47.804
  • We're going to look together at a modern-day crisis,
  • 00:00:47.804 --> 00:00:50.373
  • A global crisis, really, zero exaggeration.
  • 00:00:50.373 --> 00:00:54.344
  • And it's a crisis that's affecting you
  • 00:00:54.344 --> 00:00:56.112
  • And many of the people you know.
  • 00:00:56.112 --> 00:00:57.881
  • Thankfully, there's something you can do about it.
  • 00:00:57.881 --> 00:01:01.217
  • Now, let's start by looking at god's will for your life.
  • 00:01:01.217 --> 00:01:04.587
  • Third john, verse 2:
  • 00:01:04.587 --> 00:01:06.089
  • "beloved, i pray that you may prosper in all things
  • 00:01:06.089 --> 00:01:08.825
  • And be in health, just as your soul prospers."
  • 00:01:08.825 --> 00:01:12.729
  • God's will is that you experience good health,
  • 00:01:12.729 --> 00:01:15.798
  • Physically and spiritually.
  • 00:01:15.798 --> 00:01:17.934
  • The two are connected.
  • 00:01:17.934 --> 00:01:19.702
  • Jesus said in john 10, verse 10,
  • 00:01:19.702 --> 00:01:21.638
  • "i am come that they might have life,
  • 00:01:21.638 --> 00:01:23.139
  • And that they might have it more abundantly."
  • 00:01:23.139 --> 00:01:25.575
  • That's god's plan for you: life more abundantly.
  • 00:01:25.575 --> 00:01:29.979
  • The bible says, "you are the temple of god
  • 00:01:29.979 --> 00:01:32.515
  • And...the spirit of god dwells in you."
  • 00:01:32.515 --> 00:01:35.919
  • Three chapters later:
  • 00:01:35.919 --> 00:01:36.986
  • "you were bought at a price;
  • 00:01:36.986 --> 00:01:39.088
  • "therefore glorify god in your body and in your spirit,
  • 00:01:39.088 --> 00:01:43.293
  • Which are god's."
  • 00:01:43.293 --> 00:01:44.761
  • This is important, yet we are a long way
  • 00:01:44.761 --> 00:01:48.898
  • From where god wants us to be.
  • 00:01:48.898 --> 00:01:51.134
  • The reality is that in the western world,
  • 00:01:51.134 --> 00:01:54.470
  • Standards of health are plummeting,
  • 00:01:54.470 --> 00:01:57.874
  • And it doesn't need to be that way.
  • 00:01:57.874 --> 00:02:00.577
  • Many people are suffering from conditions and diseases
  • 00:02:00.577 --> 00:02:03.546
  • Right now that they don't need to be suffering from,
  • 00:02:03.546 --> 00:02:06.849
  • Conditions which, in many cases, can be reversed.
  • 00:02:06.849 --> 00:02:10.620
  • Even though the united states spends far more on health care
  • 00:02:10.620 --> 00:02:14.324
  • Than any other developed country in the world,
  • 00:02:14.324 --> 00:02:17.126
  • Health outcomes across the board are not good.
  • 00:02:17.126 --> 00:02:21.097
  • In 2023, life expectancy declined
  • 00:02:21.097 --> 00:02:25.568
  • To the lowest it's been in 20 years.
  • 00:02:25.568 --> 00:02:27.837
  • One expert from harvard university said,
  • 00:02:27.837 --> 00:02:30.540
  • "the numbers are shocking."
  • 00:02:30.540 --> 00:02:32.875
  • But i want you to know there is something you can do about it.
  • 00:02:32.875 --> 00:02:36.913
  • It was found in 2018 that more than half of american adults
  • 00:02:36.913 --> 00:02:41.351
  • Had at least one chronic health condition:
  • 00:02:41.351 --> 00:02:44.087
  • Arthritis, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and so on.
  • 00:02:44.087 --> 00:02:47.857
  • That's 129 million people.
  • 00:02:47.857 --> 00:02:50.326
  • More than a quarter have multiple chronic conditions.
  • 00:02:50.326 --> 00:02:54.564
  • Chronic disease consumes 86 percent
  • 00:02:54.564 --> 00:02:57.066
  • Of u.s. spending on health care.
  • 00:02:57.066 --> 00:02:59.002
  • Close to half of all american children are dealing
  • 00:02:59.002 --> 00:03:02.405
  • With a chronic health issue,
  • 00:03:02.405 --> 00:03:04.741
  • 25 percent of all children aged 2 through 8.
  • 00:03:04.741 --> 00:03:08.611
  • Now, you can have these conditions
  • 00:03:08.611 --> 00:03:10.713
  • Through no fault of your own.
  • 00:03:10.713 --> 00:03:12.181
  • Sometimes there's nothing you can do about it.
  • 00:03:12.181 --> 00:03:14.951
  • But often you can do something about it,
  • 00:03:14.951 --> 00:03:18.254
  • And when you can, you should.
  • 00:03:18.254 --> 00:03:20.056
  • Illness is no one's first choice.
  • 00:03:20.056 --> 00:03:22.892
  • And this is not just a physical matter
  • 00:03:22.892 --> 00:03:24.827
  • But a spiritual matter also.
  • 00:03:24.827 --> 00:03:27.030
  • In the book of daniel, daniel and his friends chose
  • 00:03:27.030 --> 00:03:29.732
  • To honor god with their health, and, as a result,
  • 00:03:29.732 --> 00:03:33.269
  • They prospered spiritually.
  • 00:03:33.269 --> 00:03:35.905
  • So why are americans in such poor shape?
  • 00:03:35.905 --> 00:03:39.242
  • I don't want to oversimplify, but let's connect some dots.
  • 00:03:39.242 --> 00:03:43.746
  • Ultraprocessed foods were the source of 67 percent
  • 00:03:43.746 --> 00:03:48.318
  • Of the calories in kids' and teens' diets in 2018.
  • 00:03:48.318 --> 00:03:52.922
  • The diet of kids is usually high in fat,
  • 00:03:52.922 --> 00:03:55.525
  • Added sugars, and salt.
  • 00:03:55.525 --> 00:03:56.793
  • And they often contain additives like colorings,
  • 00:03:56.793 --> 00:03:59.095
  • Flavorings, emulsifiers, or hydrogenated oils
  • 00:03:59.095 --> 00:04:01.998
  • Used to transform the texture, looks, and flavor of food.
  • 00:04:01.998 --> 00:04:07.003
  • Kids and teens in the u.s.
  • 00:04:07.003 --> 00:04:08.604
  • Are getting the majority of their calories
  • 00:04:08.604 --> 00:04:10.840
  • From ultraprocessed foods like microwaveable meals,
  • 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.711
  • Packaged snacks, chips, cookies, candies, soda,
  • 00:04:14.711 --> 00:04:19.248
  • Canned soups, and prepared foods like pizza, hot dogs,
  • 00:04:19.248 --> 00:04:22.352
  • Burgers, and chicken nuggets.
  • 00:04:22.352 --> 00:04:24.654
  • At the same time, the consumption of unprocessed
  • 00:04:24.654 --> 00:04:28.725
  • Or minimally processed foods is decreasing.
  • 00:04:28.725 --> 00:04:32.528
  • Reports in july of 2024 stated that "eating higher levels
  • 00:04:32.528 --> 00:04:36.499
  • "of ultraprocessed food may shorten lifespans
  • 00:04:36.499 --> 00:04:39.635
  • By more than 10%."
  • 00:04:39.635 --> 00:04:42.305
  • An investigator at the national cancer institute
  • 00:04:42.305 --> 00:04:44.640
  • In bethesda, maryland, said,
  • 00:04:44.640 --> 00:04:46.476
  • "diet soft drinks were the key contributor
  • 00:04:46.476 --> 00:04:49.245
  • "to ultraprocessed food consumption.
  • 00:04:49.245 --> 00:04:51.848
  • The second one was sugary soft drinks."
  • 00:04:51.848 --> 00:04:55.618
  • Sit your kid down to a bowl of many breakfast cereals,
  • 00:04:55.618 --> 00:04:58.121
  • And in some cases your child is getting
  • 00:04:58.121 --> 00:05:00.790
  • More than five teaspoons of sugar in the cereal alone,
  • 00:05:00.790 --> 00:05:05.128
  • Which is disastrous.
  • 00:05:05.128 --> 00:05:07.363
  • The human body wasn't made to deal
  • 00:05:07.363 --> 00:05:09.098
  • With such massive amounts of sugar.
  • 00:05:09.098 --> 00:05:11.467
  • A professor of cardiovascular medicine in london, england,
  • 00:05:11.467 --> 00:05:14.437
  • Said, "children quickly become used to the taste
  • 00:05:14.437 --> 00:05:17.607
  • "of high-sugar cereals and find healthier ones less palatable,
  • 00:05:17.607 --> 00:05:22.445
  • "which has long-term implications on their health.
  • 00:05:22.445 --> 00:05:25.648
  • "eating too much sugar leads to weight gain,
  • 00:05:25.648 --> 00:05:28.484
  • "raising the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease
  • 00:05:28.484 --> 00:05:31.954
  • And some cancers."
  • 00:05:31.954 --> 00:05:33.689
  • A typical child's diet today
  • 00:05:33.689 --> 00:05:35.691
  • Is nearly 70 percent processed foods,
  • 00:05:35.691 --> 00:05:39.028
  • And that trend is growing.
  • 00:05:39.028 --> 00:05:41.397
  • One headline said,
  • 00:05:41.397 --> 00:05:42.398
  • "if you think kids are eating mostly junk food,
  • 00:05:42.398 --> 00:05:45.368
  • A new study finds you are right."
  • 00:05:45.368 --> 00:05:48.371
  • Now, i want to say this:
  • 00:05:48.371 --> 00:05:49.505
  • I'm not on a crusade against junk food.
  • 00:05:49.505 --> 00:05:52.074
  • People like a treat; we know that.
  • 00:05:52.074 --> 00:05:54.744
  • No one wants the manufacture of sweet treats
  • 00:05:54.744 --> 00:05:57.647
  • To disappear entirely.
  • 00:05:57.647 --> 00:05:59.749
  • Problem is, many people don't make the connection
  • 00:05:59.749 --> 00:06:02.752
  • Between their taste buds and their poor health,
  • 00:06:02.752 --> 00:06:05.855
  • And it's costing lives, lots of lives.
  • 00:06:05.855 --> 00:06:09.525
  • Two of the major challenges we're facing today
  • 00:06:09.525 --> 00:06:11.694
  • Are diabetes and obesity, and the two are linked.
  • 00:06:11.694 --> 00:06:16.532
  • The cdc says that 74 percent of adults 20 or older
  • 00:06:16.532 --> 00:06:20.470
  • Are overweight or obese.
  • 00:06:20.470 --> 00:06:23.306
  • That's three-quarters of all adults.
  • 00:06:23.306 --> 00:06:26.142
  • The nih adds that nearly one in 10 u.s. adults
  • 00:06:26.142 --> 00:06:29.612
  • Have severe obesity, and that more than 40 percent
  • 00:06:29.612 --> 00:06:32.949
  • Of children are overweight or obese.
  • 00:06:32.949 --> 00:06:36.118
  • The numbers on diabetes are astonishing, but remember,
  • 00:06:36.118 --> 00:06:39.755
  • I'm going to tell you there is something you can do about.
  • 00:06:39.755 --> 00:06:43.926
  • Type 2 diabetes is when your blood sugar is too high.
  • 00:06:43.926 --> 00:06:48.097
  • Your pancreas makes insulin, which is what helps glucose
  • 00:06:48.097 --> 00:06:51.467
  • Get into your cells to be used as energy.
  • 00:06:51.467 --> 00:06:54.203
  • If that process doesn't work right,
  • 00:06:54.203 --> 00:06:55.872
  • Glucose stays in your blood and doesn't reach your cells.
  • 00:06:55.872 --> 00:07:00.042
  • Diabetes raises the risk for damage to your eyes, kidneys,
  • 00:07:00.042 --> 00:07:03.579
  • Nerves, and heart.
  • 00:07:03.579 --> 00:07:05.348
  • It's not good.
  • 00:07:05.348 --> 00:07:07.350
  • And many people with diabetes have no idea they have it.
  • 00:07:07.350 --> 00:07:12.021
  • It's the eighth-leading cause of death in the united states,
  • 00:07:12.021 --> 00:07:15.858
  • And diagnosed diabetes costs 413 billion dollars a year,
  • 00:07:15.858 --> 00:07:21.664
  • As of 2022, up 80 billion dollars in the last 10 years.
  • 00:07:21.664 --> 00:07:27.870
  • One out of every four dollars spent on health care
  • 00:07:27.870 --> 00:07:32.275
  • Is spent on diabetes.
  • 00:07:32.275 --> 00:07:34.944
  • It's the most expensive chronic condition in the united states.
  • 00:07:34.944 --> 00:07:39.315
  • Type 1 diabetes is where the pancreas
  • 00:07:39.315 --> 00:07:41.450
  • Makes little or no insulin.
  • 00:07:41.450 --> 00:07:43.486
  • Only five to 10 percent of people with diabetes
  • 00:07:43.486 --> 00:07:46.022
  • Have insulin-dependent diabetes.
  • 00:07:46.022 --> 00:07:48.391
  • But type 2 diabetes, which can be controlled,
  • 00:07:48.391 --> 00:07:52.395
  • Can even be reversed.
  • 00:07:52.395 --> 00:07:54.897
  • Identify the causes and you may be able to reduce
  • 00:07:54.897 --> 00:07:59.368
  • Or stop the problem.
  • 00:07:59.368 --> 00:08:01.771
  • So what can you do to fight diabetes
  • 00:08:01.771 --> 00:08:04.440
  • And other diseases like it?
  • 00:08:04.440 --> 00:08:06.976
  • I'll tell you in just a moment.

  • 00:09:11.907 --> 00:09:14.810
  • Of developing type 2 diabetes.
  • 00:09:14.810 --> 00:09:17.246
  • You ought to talk with your doctor, and remember,
  • 00:09:17.246 --> 00:09:20.583
  • It is possible for many type 2 diabetics to get off insulin,
  • 00:09:20.583 --> 00:09:25.321
  • Even after years of living with diabetes.
  • 00:09:25.321 --> 00:09:28.124
  • Experts say you should give yourself lots of nutrients
  • 00:09:28.124 --> 00:09:31.293
  • From a whole-food plant-based diet.
  • 00:09:31.293 --> 00:09:34.830
  • Whole grains, legumes, nuts, and vegetables--that's best.
  • 00:09:34.830 --> 00:09:39.969
  • If you can give your body a chance,
  • 00:09:39.969 --> 00:09:42.071
  • Your body can often heal itself.
  • 00:09:42.071 --> 00:09:45.307
  • Processed food, especially meat,
  • 00:09:45.307 --> 00:09:47.910
  • Is a key driver in developing diabetes.
  • 00:09:47.910 --> 00:09:50.913
  • In fact, the world health organization has said that
  • 00:09:50.913 --> 00:09:52.882
  • Processed meats, bacon, salami, cold cuts are carcinogenic.
  • 00:09:52.882 --> 00:09:57.153
  • They increase your cancer risk.
  • 00:09:57.153 --> 00:09:59.488
  • In fact, the world health organization said, and i quote,
  • 00:09:59.488 --> 00:10:02.558
  • "the consumption of processed meat causes colorectal cancer."
  • 00:10:02.558 --> 00:10:07.663
  • With diabetes, something called "lipotoxicity"
  • 00:10:07.663 --> 00:10:11.133
  • Causes mechanisms inside the cells in your body
  • 00:10:11.133 --> 00:10:14.537
  • To stop working efficiently.
  • 00:10:14.537 --> 00:10:16.539
  • It's not that eating a banana drives up your blood sugar;
  • 00:10:16.539 --> 00:10:20.409
  • It's that damage to your body's cells prevents them
  • 00:10:20.409 --> 00:10:23.713
  • From absorbing glucose.
  • 00:10:23.713 --> 00:10:25.948
  • Eating better is a huge help.
  • 00:10:25.948 --> 00:10:30.619
  • Another major key in treating diabetes is exercise.
  • 00:10:30.619 --> 00:10:35.257
  • If you're diabetic, taking a 30-minute
  • 00:10:35.257 --> 00:10:37.226
  • Light-to-moderate walk after you eat
  • 00:10:37.226 --> 00:10:39.528
  • Will have a huge impact on your underlying insulin resistance.
  • 00:10:39.528 --> 00:10:43.432
  • And getting exercise, in general, is essential.
  • 00:10:43.432 --> 00:10:47.436
  • For most people, that's simple.
  • 00:10:47.436 --> 00:10:49.839
  • Talk to your doctor and be prepared
  • 00:10:49.839 --> 00:10:52.074
  • To take charge of your health.
  • 00:10:52.074 --> 00:10:53.909
  • The problem is a lot of people
  • 00:10:53.909 --> 00:10:56.679
  • Don't want to change the way they eat.
  • 00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:00.483
  • They don't want to take a walk.
  • 00:11:00.483 --> 00:11:03.319
  • But when you're dealing with your health
  • 00:11:03.319 --> 00:11:05.488
  • And with a condition that can do enormous damage,
  • 00:11:05.488 --> 00:11:08.724
  • This is not too much to ask.
  • 00:11:08.724 --> 00:11:11.694
  • Is it hard? no!
  • 00:11:11.694 --> 00:11:13.696
  • What's hard is having your foot amputated--that's hard.
  • 00:11:13.696 --> 00:11:18.634
  • What's hard is nerve damage.
  • 00:11:18.634 --> 00:11:20.970
  • What's hard is diabetic retinopathy,
  • 00:11:20.970 --> 00:11:23.639
  • Which is the leading cause of blindness in working-age adults.
  • 00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:27.510
  • That's hard.
  • 00:11:27.510 --> 00:11:28.744
  • Eating better? eating less?
  • 00:11:28.744 --> 00:11:31.180
  • Eating less junk? eating less fat?
  • 00:11:31.180 --> 00:11:34.884
  • Taking a walk? no, that's not hard, not too hard.
  • 00:11:34.884 --> 00:11:41.123
  • And i'm going to tell you how you can make those changes.
  • 00:11:41.123 --> 00:11:44.527
  • Around one percent of adults in the late 1950s had diabetes.
  • 00:11:44.527 --> 00:11:49.131
  • Now, around 50 percent of americans have diabetes
  • 00:11:49.131 --> 00:11:54.303
  • Or prediabetes. so what's changed?
  • 00:11:54.303 --> 00:11:57.640
  • What has changed is what we eat
  • 00:11:57.640 --> 00:12:00.376
  • And the amount of exercise we get.
  • 00:12:00.376 --> 00:12:03.379
  • Now, it's true that our modern lifestyles have, in many cases,
  • 00:12:03.379 --> 00:12:07.183
  • Shoehorned us into this.
  • 00:12:07.183 --> 00:12:09.185
  • When i was a kid we virtually never ate out.
  • 00:12:09.185 --> 00:12:11.387
  • We ate home-cooked meals, not much refined food.
  • 00:12:11.387 --> 00:12:14.456
  • We had a big garden,
  • 00:12:14.456 --> 00:12:15.758
  • Ate a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables.
  • 00:12:15.758 --> 00:12:17.927
  • We walked to school, walked to town.
  • 00:12:17.927 --> 00:12:20.329
  • Children rode their bikes everywhere.
  • 00:12:20.329 --> 00:12:22.898
  • We were involved in sport.
  • 00:12:22.898 --> 00:12:24.834
  • For most people today, life's just not like that,
  • 00:12:24.834 --> 00:12:27.603
  • And that's a challenge.
  • 00:12:27.603 --> 00:12:29.071
  • But if we don't figure this out--and we can figure it out--
  • 00:12:29.071 --> 00:12:33.042
  • But if we don't, well, we know the result
  • 00:12:33.042 --> 00:12:36.345
  • Because we're living the result right now.
  • 00:12:36.345 --> 00:12:40.015
  • Let's talk about a couple of other chronic health conditions.
  • 00:12:40.015 --> 00:12:43.419
  • The numbers are through the roof on fatty liver disease.
  • 00:12:43.419 --> 00:12:47.256
  • That's too much fat in your liver.
  • 00:12:47.256 --> 00:12:49.525
  • Your liver filters your blood, so if it's fatty,
  • 00:12:49.525 --> 00:12:53.262
  • Many bodily processes are messed up.
  • 00:12:53.262 --> 00:12:56.899
  • One in four people aged 25 to 30 have fatty liver disease.
  • 00:12:56.899 --> 00:13:02.671
  • The reason?
  • 00:13:02.671 --> 00:13:04.039
  • High-fat diet, not enough exercise.
  • 00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:07.376
  • It's that simple.
  • 00:13:07.376 --> 00:13:09.311
  • Obesity in the united states has more than doubled
  • 00:13:09.311 --> 00:13:11.881
  • Since the 1970s.
  • 00:13:11.881 --> 00:13:13.616
  • And that's a major reason why we're seeing
  • 00:13:13.616 --> 00:13:15.885
  • Skyrocketing rates of disease.
  • 00:13:15.885 --> 00:13:18.988
  • Cancer rates are way up in people aged under 50.
  • 00:13:18.988 --> 00:13:23.826
  • New cases of breast cancer among women are way up.
  • 00:13:23.826 --> 00:13:28.264
  • One reason is alcohol,
  • 00:13:28.264 --> 00:13:30.833
  • Responsible for 16 percent of all breast cancer cases.
  • 00:13:30.833 --> 00:13:35.971
  • Dr. leana wen says,
  • 00:13:35.971 --> 00:13:37.673
  • "some researchers point to the escalating rates of obesity
  • 00:13:37.673 --> 00:13:41.110
  • "over the last few decades,
  • 00:13:41.110 --> 00:13:42.678
  • "which is associated with the risk of early-onset cancer.
  • 00:13:42.678 --> 00:13:46.148
  • "on a related note, the change in dietary habits,
  • 00:13:46.148 --> 00:13:50.452
  • "specifically the increase in consumption
  • 00:13:50.452 --> 00:13:53.322
  • "of ultra-processed food, and sedentary lifestyles
  • 00:13:53.322 --> 00:13:57.126
  • Also are associated with higher cancer rates."
  • 00:13:57.126 --> 00:14:00.629
  • When pete rose, the famous baseball player,
  • 00:14:00.629 --> 00:14:02.932
  • Died of heart disease, one news outlet reported
  • 00:14:02.932 --> 00:14:05.801
  • That "half of americans over [the] age [of] 45"
  • 00:14:05.801 --> 00:14:09.071
  • Have the same condition rose had.
  • 00:14:09.071 --> 00:14:11.307
  • In july of 2024, a raft of media outlets reported
  • 00:14:11.307 --> 00:14:15.344
  • That "half of all...cancer deaths...could be avoided"
  • 00:14:15.344 --> 00:14:20.449
  • If people would only change certain modifiable risk factors.
  • 00:14:20.449 --> 00:14:24.219
  • Half of all cancers avoided!
  • 00:14:24.219 --> 00:14:28.557
  • Here's all we need to do to eliminate half of all cancers:
  • 00:14:28.557 --> 00:14:33.629
  • Don't smoke. lose weight.
  • 00:14:33.629 --> 00:14:36.632
  • Eat better. exercise.
  • 00:14:36.632 --> 00:14:39.435
  • Be careful about uv rays and avoid viruses such as hpv.
  • 00:14:39.435 --> 00:14:44.273
  • We can do this. and we must,
  • 00:14:44.273 --> 00:14:46.642
  • Especially as cancer rates are expected to increase 77 percent
  • 00:14:46.642 --> 00:14:51.981
  • By 2050.
  • 00:14:51.981 --> 00:14:53.315
  • Now, i know for someone it's genetic.
  • 00:14:53.315 --> 00:14:55.084
  • For another there was an injury.
  • 00:14:55.084 --> 00:14:56.752
  • For some there's nothing you can do about it.
  • 00:14:56.752 --> 00:14:58.887
  • Some, that's understood. but that's not most people.
  • 00:14:58.887 --> 00:15:02.992
  • Most of us can make simple decisions
  • 00:15:02.992 --> 00:15:05.294
  • That will have a profound impact on our health.
  • 00:15:05.294 --> 00:15:08.430
  • Here's a headline for you that makes no sense,
  • 00:15:08.430 --> 00:15:11.700
  • But it's 100% accurate:
  • 00:15:11.700 --> 00:15:14.370
  • "us spends most on health care
  • 00:15:14.370 --> 00:15:17.406
  • "but has worst health outcomes
  • 00:15:17.406 --> 00:15:20.175
  • Among high-income countries, new report finds."
  • 00:15:20.175 --> 00:15:23.479
  • In the united states health expenditure per person
  • 00:15:23.479 --> 00:15:26.448
  • Is much higher than in other countries.
  • 00:15:26.448 --> 00:15:29.618
  • Yet overall, this does not lead to better outcomes.
  • 00:15:29.618 --> 00:15:35.024
  • In june of 2024, an abc affiliate in norfolk, virginia,
  • 00:15:35.024 --> 00:15:38.861
  • Reported on the food pyramid produced
  • 00:15:38.861 --> 00:15:41.130
  • By the u.s. department of agriculture,
  • 00:15:41.130 --> 00:15:43.332
  • Originally intended to help people to be healthy.
  • 00:15:43.332 --> 00:15:46.068
  • It was abandoned in 2005 with good reason.
  • 00:15:46.068 --> 00:15:49.304
  • "heading into the 21st century,
  • 00:15:49.304 --> 00:15:51.140
  • "obesity rates were on the rise.
  • 00:15:51.140 --> 00:15:53.342
  • "so much so, that the federal government decided to step in.
  • 00:15:53.342 --> 00:15:56.678
  • "the problem was that billions of dollars were on the line.
  • 00:15:56.678 --> 00:16:00.783
  • "...lobbyists put pressure
  • 00:16:00.783 --> 00:16:02.751
  • "on the u.s. department of agriculture
  • 00:16:02.751 --> 00:16:05.487
  • "and adjustments were made accordingly.
  • 00:16:05.487 --> 00:16:07.823
  • "what was originally intended to be an official blueprint
  • 00:16:07.823 --> 00:16:10.492
  • "for [eating healthy] turned into a moneymaker
  • 00:16:10.492 --> 00:16:13.662
  • For the highest bidders in the food industry."
  • 00:16:13.662 --> 00:16:16.498
  • And it even goes a little deeper.
  • 00:16:16.498 --> 00:16:18.400
  • The nih says out loud that "more than 2,500 chemical substances
  • 00:16:18.400 --> 00:16:24.840
  • "are intentionally added to foods to modify flavor, color,
  • 00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:29.845
  • "stability, texture, or cost.
  • 00:16:29.845 --> 00:16:32.481
  • "in addition, an estimated 12,000 substances
  • 00:16:32.481 --> 00:16:36.885
  • "are used in such a way that they may
  • 00:16:36.885 --> 00:16:39.088
  • Unintentionally enter the food supply."
  • 00:16:39.088 --> 00:16:41.757
  • That's shocking.
  • 00:16:41.757 --> 00:16:43.058

  • 00:18:36.872 --> 00:18:39.541
  • You might go to a doctor who prescribes a pill
  • 00:18:39.541 --> 00:18:41.810
  • Or performs surgery, but without addressing the reasons
  • 00:18:41.810 --> 00:18:44.646
  • Why you get sick in the first place,
  • 00:18:44.646 --> 00:18:46.715
  • We're not addressing the real issues.
  • 00:18:46.715 --> 00:18:49.818
  • If we can look at why we get sick and address that,
  • 00:18:49.818 --> 00:18:53.155
  • Then we'll see things change.
  • 00:18:53.155 --> 00:18:55.724
  • What's shocking is that many medical schools
  • 00:18:55.724 --> 00:18:58.927
  • Don't have a single class on nutrition,
  • 00:18:58.927 --> 00:19:02.231
  • So, many doctors aren't informed about this.
  • 00:19:02.231 --> 00:19:06.001
  • A doctor friend once said to me,
  • 00:19:06.001 --> 00:19:07.636
  • "i don't know a thing about nutrition."
  • 00:19:07.636 --> 00:19:11.240
  • That's clearly not good.
  • 00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:13.242
  • Plus, few people are willing to change their lifestyle,
  • 00:19:13.242 --> 00:19:16.812
  • Unwilling to change what they eat,
  • 00:19:16.812 --> 00:19:19.815
  • Even when their life depends on it.
  • 00:19:19.815 --> 00:19:23.051
  • We can blame doctors or junk food companies,
  • 00:19:23.051 --> 00:19:25.654
  • But the only person who puts food in my mouth is me.
  • 00:19:25.654 --> 00:19:30.659
  • The only person who can get me off the sofa
  • 00:19:30.659 --> 00:19:33.161
  • And take a walk around the block is me.
  • 00:19:33.161 --> 00:19:36.265
  • Fast food restaurants and soda companies
  • 00:19:36.265 --> 00:19:38.533
  • Aren't preventing anyone from taking positive steps.
  • 00:19:38.533 --> 00:19:43.839
  • So, what can you do?
  • 00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:45.507
  • Knowing that your body is the temple of the holy spirit,
  • 00:19:45.507 --> 00:19:48.443
  • You can honor god with your body by reclaiming
  • 00:19:48.443 --> 00:19:51.446
  • What the devil has been robbing you of.
  • 00:19:51.446 --> 00:19:54.349
  • So, what do we do?
  • 00:19:54.349 --> 00:19:55.784
  • First, we want to eat better, less junk, less fat,
  • 00:19:55.784 --> 00:20:00.889
  • Less sugar, less processed foods,
  • 00:20:00.889 --> 00:20:03.792
  • More fruit and vegetables.
  • 00:20:03.792 --> 00:20:05.894
  • Most people know the difference
  • 00:20:05.894 --> 00:20:07.162
  • Between healthy and unhealthy food.
  • 00:20:07.162 --> 00:20:09.064
  • If you have to, start small,
  • 00:20:09.064 --> 00:20:11.166
  • But stick with it and grow in this.
  • 00:20:11.166 --> 00:20:13.769
  • Here's an easy one: ditch soda.
  • 00:20:13.769 --> 00:20:18.774
  • One can of your favorite soda
  • 00:20:18.774 --> 00:20:20.676
  • Contains as much as eight teaspoons of sugar,
  • 00:20:20.676 --> 00:20:24.680
  • Some a whole lot more, which is shocking.
  • 00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:28.617
  • Drink soda regularly and you're hurting yourself.
  • 00:20:28.617 --> 00:20:32.654
  • Drink water instead.
  • 00:20:32.654 --> 00:20:34.356
  • "but i don't want to."
  • 00:20:34.356 --> 00:20:35.857
  • Okay. so you're saying you're happy with fatty liver disease
  • 00:20:35.857 --> 00:20:38.593
  • And metabolic syndrome.
  • 00:20:38.593 --> 00:20:39.761
  • "but it's hard." mm-mm.
  • 00:20:39.761 --> 00:20:41.830
  • A heart attack is hard. cancer is hard.
  • 00:20:41.830 --> 00:20:44.733
  • Burying your spouse at 50 is hard.
  • 00:20:44.733 --> 00:20:48.837
  • Drinking water instead of sugar water?
  • 00:20:48.837 --> 00:20:52.174
  • Not hard. and it gets easier with practice.
  • 00:20:52.174 --> 00:20:55.177
  • A friend of mine, big tall guy, lost 70 pounds.
  • 00:20:55.177 --> 00:20:58.380
  • You couldn't help but see the change.
  • 00:20:58.380 --> 00:21:00.282
  • He told me, "all i did was stop drinking soda,
  • 00:21:00.282 --> 00:21:03.952
  • And i started walking."
  • 00:21:03.952 --> 00:21:05.554
  • That was it.
  • 00:21:05.554 --> 00:21:07.356
  • Also, you want to cut back on red meat.
  • 00:21:07.356 --> 00:21:09.224
  • In fact, cut back on meat.
  • 00:21:09.224 --> 00:21:11.259
  • The science is in:
  • 00:21:11.259 --> 00:21:13.028
  • Less meat and more plants is profoundly good for you.
  • 00:21:13.028 --> 00:21:17.999
  • Learn to live without as much dessert.
  • 00:21:17.999 --> 00:21:20.936
  • I'm not on a crusade against all things dessert,
  • 00:21:20.936 --> 00:21:23.305
  • By any means, but don't let it control you.
  • 00:21:23.305 --> 00:21:27.576
  • And don't think you need to accomplish every change
  • 00:21:27.576 --> 00:21:29.578
  • In one day, but start, watch your health improve,
  • 00:21:29.578 --> 00:21:34.649
  • And continue to make changes.
  • 00:21:34.649 --> 00:21:36.718
  • You may well find you need less medication,
  • 00:21:36.718 --> 00:21:38.954
  • Meaning you might save a ton of money,
  • 00:21:38.954 --> 00:21:41.323
  • And your body will love you for it.
  • 00:21:41.323 --> 00:21:44.159
  • And remember exercise.
  • 00:21:44.159 --> 00:21:45.293
  • Get moving, take a walk, get your heart rate up,
  • 00:21:45.293 --> 00:21:48.864
  • Ride a bike or a stationary bike, or swim or run.
  • 00:21:48.864 --> 00:21:52.434
  • Start somewhere and build from there.
  • 00:21:52.434 --> 00:21:54.970
  • You will love it.
  • 00:21:54.970 --> 00:21:57.339
  • A professor of cardiovascular medicine at stanford university
  • 00:21:57.339 --> 00:22:00.075
  • Says, "exercise may be
  • 00:22:00.075 --> 00:22:02.411
  • The single most potent medical intervention ever known."
  • 00:22:02.411 --> 00:22:06.982
  • Dr. euan ashley says, exercise will improve any system
  • 00:22:06.982 --> 00:22:10.485
  • In your body and reduce your risk of disease in that system.
  • 00:22:10.485 --> 00:22:13.688
  • He says, "exercise...really is the magic pill."
  • 00:22:13.688 --> 00:22:18.693
  • Exercise helps your brain function better.
  • 00:22:18.693 --> 00:22:21.096
  • After sin entered the world, god put adam to work.
  • 00:22:21.096 --> 00:22:25.200
  • In order to be happy and holy,
  • 00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:26.902
  • Adam and eve needed to be active.
  • 00:22:26.902 --> 00:22:29.838
  • People still need to be active.
  • 00:22:29.838 --> 00:22:31.673
  • Inactivity is killing people.
  • 00:22:31.673 --> 00:22:35.076
  • Improve your diet, get some exercise,
  • 00:22:35.076 --> 00:22:38.346
  • And you are on your way to better health.
  • 00:22:38.346 --> 00:22:42.751
  • So, how do we do this?
  • 00:22:42.751 --> 00:22:44.286
  • By leaning on god.
  • 00:22:44.286 --> 00:22:46.955
  • By asking god to do in you what you cannot do in yourself.
  • 00:22:46.955 --> 00:22:51.393
  • I know this can be a challenge.
  • 00:22:51.393 --> 00:22:53.295
  • Sometimes you're dealing with the habits of a lifetime.
  • 00:22:53.295 --> 00:22:56.498
  • So remember, the bible says,
  • 00:22:56.498 --> 00:22:59.267
  • "i can do all things through christ who strengthens me."
  • 00:22:59.267 --> 00:23:03.305
  • Philippians 4:13.
  • 00:23:03.305 --> 00:23:05.106
  • "it is god who works in you both to will and to do
  • 00:23:05.106 --> 00:23:08.276
  • [of] his good pleasure."
  • 00:23:08.276 --> 00:23:09.277
  • Philippians 2:13.
  • 00:23:09.277 --> 00:23:11.179
  • "the lord will perfect that which concerns me."
  • 00:23:11.179 --> 00:23:14.382
  • Psalm 138, verse 8.
  • 00:23:14.382 --> 00:23:16.685
  • You know that god can do this in the life of anyone
  • 00:23:16.685 --> 00:23:20.255
  • Who wants to make changes to honor him.
  • 00:23:20.255 --> 00:23:23.925
  • As paul wrote, "therefore, whether you eat or drink,
  • 00:23:23.925 --> 00:23:27.496
  • Or whatever you do, do all to the glory of god."
  • 00:23:27.496 --> 00:23:32.334
  • You don't need to do anything rash or risky.
  • 00:23:32.334 --> 00:23:34.736
  • Do talk to your doctor, but plan to live like never before.
  • 00:23:34.736 --> 00:23:39.741
  • Switch up your eating habits,
  • 00:23:39.741 --> 00:23:41.276
  • Get some exercise, eat better,
  • 00:23:41.276 --> 00:23:42.944
  • Move more, and get good sleep.
  • 00:23:42.944 --> 00:23:45.647
  • Sleep is vital to good health.
  • 00:23:45.647 --> 00:23:48.216
  • And you're going to see your health take off.
  • 00:23:48.216 --> 00:23:51.152
  • And keep in mind weight doesn't come off quickly.
  • 00:23:51.152 --> 00:23:54.789
  • If it took years to add, it won't come off overnight.
  • 00:23:54.789 --> 00:23:58.627
  • But you'll start to see progress pretty soon.
  • 00:23:58.627 --> 00:24:02.564
  • What you don't need is another fad diet.
  • 00:24:02.564 --> 00:24:06.401
  • You don't need that.
  • 00:24:06.401 --> 00:24:07.602
  • Change your lifestyle, develop new attitudes toward food,
  • 00:24:07.602 --> 00:24:11.172
  • Make exercise a part of your life, and over time,
  • 00:24:11.172 --> 00:24:14.476
  • You're going to reap the rewards:
  • 00:24:14.476 --> 00:24:17.078
  • More energy, less illness, less medication, a sharper mind.
  • 00:24:17.078 --> 00:24:21.950
  • And you'll know you're honoring god.
  • 00:24:21.950 --> 00:24:25.921
  • You know, sin entered the world via food.
  • 00:24:25.921 --> 00:24:29.925
  • Now, i hear people say, "you've got to die of something."
  • 00:24:29.925 --> 00:24:32.060
  • That's right, but you don't have to die of everything,
  • 00:24:32.060 --> 00:24:35.130
  • And there are a ton of illnesses
  • 00:24:35.130 --> 00:24:36.865
  • You simply do not need to die from.
  • 00:24:36.865 --> 00:24:39.935
  • Surrender your decisions to god, and you can expect
  • 00:24:39.935 --> 00:24:43.872
  • To experience more of his plans for you.
  • 00:24:43.872 --> 00:24:48.376
  • And one thing you're going to want to do is pray.
  • 00:24:48.376 --> 00:24:51.413
  • Pray for god's strength and power.
  • 00:24:51.413 --> 00:24:53.315
  • Pray for god to work in you.
  • 00:24:53.315 --> 00:24:54.983
  • Pray for strength to make good decisions.
  • 00:24:54.983 --> 00:24:57.786
  • And do more than pray; claim god's power.
  • 00:24:57.786 --> 00:25:01.022
  • Tell god you expect him to work for you.
  • 00:25:01.022 --> 00:25:03.792
  • That promise, "i can do all things,"
  • 00:25:03.792 --> 00:25:06.328
  • Take it to god and claim it.
  • 00:25:06.328 --> 00:25:08.663
  • Tell him you are believing that will happen in your life.
  • 00:25:08.663 --> 00:25:11.967
  • Keep this before god, and don't get discouraged.
  • 00:25:11.967 --> 00:25:15.503
  • If you stumble, go again.
  • 00:25:15.503 --> 00:25:17.906
  • You'll grow in this. be patient with yourself.
  • 00:25:17.906 --> 00:25:21.309
  • Remember god is gracious, and watch god do big things for you.
  • 00:25:21.309 --> 00:25:27.015
  • This is important.
  • 00:25:27.015 --> 00:25:28.550
  • We're dying when we should be living.
  • 00:25:28.550 --> 00:25:32.354
  • But jesus came to this world to give you life more abundantly.
  • 00:25:32.354 --> 00:25:37.993
  • Let me pray for you.
  • 00:25:37.993 --> 00:25:39.327
  • Father in heaven, thank you that you have created us
  • 00:25:39.327 --> 00:25:41.329
  • To be the temple of the holy spirit,
  • 00:25:41.329 --> 00:25:43.999
  • A place where heaven itself would dwell.
  • 00:25:43.999 --> 00:25:46.968
  • Thank you that jesus promises to live his life in us.
  • 00:25:46.968 --> 00:25:49.638
  • Now i pray that we will keep our bodies
  • 00:25:49.638 --> 00:25:52.607
  • As the temple of the holy spirit.
  • 00:25:52.607 --> 00:25:55.577
  • Give us grace now, lord.
  • 00:25:55.577 --> 00:25:56.678
  • So many of us are suffering from illnesses
  • 00:25:56.678 --> 00:25:59.080
  • That we can reverse.
  • 00:25:59.080 --> 00:26:00.649
  • So many of us are right now in battles
  • 00:26:00.649 --> 00:26:02.984
  • Against difficult situations that we can do something about
  • 00:26:02.984 --> 00:26:06.955
  • By taking simple measures.
  • 00:26:06.955 --> 00:26:09.124
  • And then perhaps all of us are in great danger of stumbling
  • 00:26:09.124 --> 00:26:13.895
  • Into lifestyle illnesses and sicknesses and diseases
  • 00:26:13.895 --> 00:26:18.566
  • That we could otherwise avoid if we make good decisions.
  • 00:26:18.566 --> 00:26:23.738
  • Now, for each of us this is going to look
  • 00:26:23.738 --> 00:26:25.306
  • A little bit different, but i pray you'll bring to our hearts
  • 00:26:25.306 --> 00:26:27.876
  • And minds right now that which we can do, right now,
  • 00:26:27.876 --> 00:26:31.279
  • To get onto the pathway to better health
  • 00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:33.615
  • And honoring you more fully with our lives.
  • 00:26:33.615 --> 00:26:36.284
  • We thank you.
  • 00:26:36.284 --> 00:26:37.619
  • We thank you for less illness, for less disease,
  • 00:26:37.619 --> 00:26:40.555
  • For less medication, and for more of the presence of jesus.
  • 00:26:40.555 --> 00:26:44.959
  • And we pray in jesus' name, amen.
  • 00:26:44.959 --> 00:26:49.531
  • Thank you so much for joining me.
  • 00:26:49.531 --> 00:26:50.999
  • I'm looking forward to seeing you again next time.
  • 00:26:50.999 --> 00:26:52.701
  • Until then, remember:
  • 00:26:52.701 --> 00:26:54.502
  • "it is written, 'man shall not live by bread alone,
  • 00:26:54.502 --> 00:26:58.339
  • But by every word that proceeds from the mouth of god.'"
