Function better, feel better, 3 00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:17.440 and live a better life. This is doctor Eric Kaplan, and you're 4 00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:24.079 listening to boost your brain power. We're going to be talking about exercises to 5 00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:29.800 improve your brain function, all different types of exercises. They might be physical 6 00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:41.359 exercises, might be posture exercises, eye exercises, breathing exercises, heart exercises. 7 00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:47.399 There's all type of exercises that you need to do to bring your brain 8 00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:51.840 to function at the highest level. You got to do the work. So 9 00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:57.159 there's no magic pill that you could take to make your brain function. If 10 00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:02.000 there was a memory pill, everyone would just take this memory pill and no 11 00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:07.280 one would have memory problems, no one would have dementia or Alzheimer's. There 12 00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.200 is no magic pill and there will never be a magic pill. So stop 13 00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:19.840 wanting to find this supplement or herb or medication or drug that's going to fix 14 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:25.000 your brain. It doesn't happen. What you have to do is do the 15 00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:30.480 work yourself. So you might have to do physical exercise, you have to 16 00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.159 physical exercise every day, and the best time to exercise is in the morning. 17 00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.599 First thing in the morning. That's when testosterone is highest, your cortisol 18 00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:46.040 is highest, that's when you're supposed to exercise. So you don't want to 19 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:52.879 exercise at night because then that's going to interrupt your sleep. You won't get 20 00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:57.560 a deeper sleep. But if you exercise in the morning and increase corticol in 21 00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:02.439 the morning, then your cortisol level is going to go down at night and 22 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:07.360 that's going to help you to sleep. If you exercise at night, you're 23 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:15.159 increasing cortisol, then you're not gonna have as deep of a sleep. You 24 00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:21.680 don't want to do anything that increases cortisol at night, physical exercise, If 25 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:27.800 you eat food, that increases cortisol at night. If you watch television, 26 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:32.840 that increases cortisol at night. If you play on your cell phone, that 27 00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:39.439 increases cortisol at night. If you're on the computer or your iPad. I 28 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:46.840 need these smart devices because of the blue light are going to increase cortisol, 29 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:51.360 which is going to affect your sleep and prevent you from getting into that deep 30 00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:55.319 sleep. The r EM rapid eye movements, or what we call the delta 31 00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:00.599 brain waves where you want to be in a relaxed state, because when you 32 00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:06.280 sleep, that's when you reoxygenate, that's when you heal, that's when your 33 00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:10.840 immune system works, that's when your digestion absorbs all the nutrients you had from 34 00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:15.159 the day. Then when you wake up, now it's time to eliminate the 35 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:20.919 toxins and then you're gonna peet and you're gonna have a bowel movement. So 36 00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.800 at night, when you're resting, you're getting rid of all the bad stuff, 37 00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:27.520 and then when you wake up in the morning, you're gonna pee it 38 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.960 out, you're gonna poop it out, you'll be sweating it out. Your 39 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:36.360 body has amazing ways to get rid of the toxins as long as we let 40 00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:39.919 it. So if you're not getting the proper sleep, you're not gonna get 41 00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:46.000 the proper digestion. So we got to add a stress mode more into a 42 00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:51.960 relaxed rest and digest state. So physical exercise should be first thing in the 43 00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:57.120 morning. And choose something that you like to do. If it's something that 44 00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:59.800 you don't like, you're not gonna do it. You know, if you 45 00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:04.120 don't like the gym, don't do the gym. Find something that you do, 46 00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:11.680 like, maybe it's a sport basketball or soccer, tennis, or something 47 00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:16.759 that gets your body moving. Maybe it's bike riding, maybe it's hiking. 48 00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:24.920 Maybe it's power walking. Maybe it's jogging or running. Maybe it's rollerblading. 49 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:30.600 Maybe it's dancing. And there's all types of dance. Right, there's just 50 00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:35.399 you could do salsa dance, entango lessons, and you could do zoomba, 51 00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:42.959 and you could do pole dancing and belly dancing and hip hop dancing. Find 52 00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:47.800 something that you like to do so that you get excited to exercise. If 53 00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:54.839 it's a chore or an errand then you're more likely to skip it. And 54 00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:58.319 find something that your friends or family like to do, so you can make 55 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:04.240 it social as well. So if you can combine physical exercise with socialization, 56 00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:12.519 and even better, do it outside where you get sunlight and oxygen. Now 57 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:17.199 you're gonna boost your brain power. So you have to exercise every day. 58 00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:23.319 When you exercise, you want to do something aerobic. You know, something 59 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:27.199 that your heart starts beating, you start sweating, you start breathing a little 60 00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:33.240 heavy, and then you also want to do weight resistant exercises. Weight resistant 61 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:39.600 exercises not only make your muscle stronger, they make your bone stronger to prevent 62 00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:45.160 osteoporosis or osteopenia. Not only do they make your muscle stronger and your bone 63 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:50.720 stronger, but they make your brain stronger. Weightlifting is a mood stabilizer, 64 00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:59.639 So if you have anxiety or depression, or you get panic attacks, physical 65 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.959 exe exercise is one of the best things you can do. It's even better 66 00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:11.920 than medicine. Medicine cannot mimic the same chemicals that get released with weightlifting. 67 00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:21.600 Weightlifting literally releases feel good chemicals to boost your mood. So if you're feeling 68 00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:30.959 low motivation, poor focus, poor memory, you're feeling fatigued, you better 69 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.160 start doing some weightlifting. And you don't need wage. You can do push 70 00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:41.199 ups. There was a study that they showed that a person who could do 71 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:48.240 forty push ups is ninety percent less likely to get heart disease, heart attack, 72 00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:56.560 or a stroke versus someone who cannot do ten push ups. So if 73 00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:01.279 you could do forty push ups, your ninety percent less likely to have heart 74 00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:10.639 disease versus someone who can't even do ten pushups. So start doing some push 75 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:17.040 ups, start doing some weight resistant exercises, maybe pull ups, maybe get 76 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:21.959 a band. A resistance band doesn't have to be weights. But if you 77 00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:27.000 have weights, great, you have a kettleball, great, you have a 78 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:31.560 weight bar and a bench. Great. When they closed the gym from COVID 79 00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:38.000 nineteen, what I did is I used my backyard as a gym. So 80 00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:41.120 I got a bunch of different rocks that weighed different. Okay, this was 81 00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:44.480 a ten pound rock, and this was a t twenty pound rock, and 82 00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.759 this was a thirty pound rock. And I found a forty pound stick and 83 00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:54.920 a fifty pound branch, and I use those at my weights. So you 84 00:07:54.920 --> 00:08:00.519 could be creative. You could go shopping and do weightlifting and do buis curls 85 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:05.879 with your shopping mags. You don't necessarily have to go to a gym to 86 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:09.680 lift weights. You can use your own body weight, you can use materials 87 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:16.160 in your house, you can use nature outside. There's always ways to do 88 00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:20.680 weight resistant exercise, whether you have weights or you don't. But you gotta 89 00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:26.199 do it every day. You gotta be consistent. If you only work out 90 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:31.440 once a week, then your muscles aren't going to get the activation that they 91 00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:35.799 need. Your mood isn't going to improve as much as it could. Your 92 00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:41.159 bones aren't going to prevent osteoporosis osteopenia as much as it would if you were 93 00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:46.279 doing weight resistance every single day. Even if it's just for ten twenty minutes, 94 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:48.000 it doesn't have to be a long time, but it's got to be 95 00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:58.000 consistent. Your brain desires that resistance. But nowadays nobody wants to work. 96 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:03.480 They don't want to lift right, you know, even the I'm going on 97 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.720 vacation and everything's in a rolling bag. When I was growing up, you 98 00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:15.799 actually lift up your bag to use your muscles. Now everything you just roll 99 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:24.159 it, and you do not get the same stimulation. So purposely lift up 100 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:30.440 your bag. Use it as a way challenge yourself. Do a little extra 101 00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:37.919 exercise. Take the steps instead of the elevator. Park far away instead of 102 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:43.960 parking close. Walk to your next appointment instead of taking a subway or an 103 00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:52.120 uber. Choose to exercise as opposed to making it easier. Choose to get 104 00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:58.600 off your butt, as opposed to keeping everything coming towards you. The technology 105 00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:05.080 makes us weaker. It makes your muscles weaker, your bon's weaker, and 106 00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:13.399 your brain weaker. So start to unplug. Start using your own body weight 107 00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:20.879 and your own brain instead of relying on Google and YouTube. The technology makes 108 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:28.399 us stupid. It's called digital dementia. You don't have to remember people's numbers 109 00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:33.360 anymore. You don't have to know how to spell or add, or use 110 00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:39.440 a map for directions. The GPS does it for you. Everything is in 111 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:43.480 your little cell phone. You don't have to remember anything because you could just 112 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:50.799 google it. Well, you have to voluntarily remember things, so remember one 113 00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:56.960 of your friend's phone numbers on purpose. When you go to a restaurant, 114 00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:01.000 actually put your tip and write it out. Let's say, if you do 115 00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:07.519 a twenty two percent tip, literally multiply by point two two. Don't just 116 00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:13.519 put it in your calculator or read what the receipt says. The convenience is 117 00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:18.360 not good for your brain. If you have to go to a new place, 118 00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:22.240 look at a map, figure out your directions, remember the directions, 119 00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:28.480 remember the landmark, and don't put it in your GPS. You know, 120 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.559 maybe leave a few minutes earlier just in case you get lost because you're not 121 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:39.320 used to it. But purposely challenge yourself make it harder. The harder you 122 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:43.879 work, the stronger your brain gets. And the stronger your brain gets, 123 00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:50.559 you function better, feel better, and live a better life. This is 124 00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:58.080 doctor Eric Kaplan.

Function better, feel better, and live a 136 00:12:54.279 --> 00:13:00.799 better life. This is doctor Eric Caplan and you're listening to boost your brain 137 00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:07.919 power. We're talking about exercise and how exercise can make your brain function at 138 00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:15.159 a higher level. But you have to exercise consistently with anything in life. 139 00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:18.559 It's consistent, right, You can't just eat one healthy mood, one healthy 140 00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:24.799 meal a week. That wouldn't be good. You can't just brush your teeth 141 00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:30.480 one time a week. That wouldn't be good. So why is it okay 142 00:13:30.600 --> 00:13:33.480 just to work out once a week. It's not. You have to work 143 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:37.039 out every day. You have to brush your teeth every day. You have 144 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:41.919 to drink water every day. You have to eat your fruits and veggies every 145 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:46.919 day. You have to be nice every day. You have to be charitable 146 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:52.600 every day. You have to be spiritual every day. If your brain is 147 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:56.919 going to function a highest level, it needs consistency, and twenty one days 148 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.960 is the magic number where your brain can get rewired. That's how long it 149 00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:07.879 takes to create a good habit. So if you exercise for twenty one straight 150 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:13.240 days, now your brain and body are stronger than ever. Now they can 151 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:18.639 handle. If you skip a day here and there, it's not as bad. 152 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:24.159 But you want to do twenty one straight days. That creates the change 153 00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:30.679 where now your body's more resilient. Resilient is key for your brain function. 154 00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.000 You want to be able to go to bed hungry. That is a good 155 00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.240 thing. You don't want to go to bed with your stomach full. That's 156 00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:41.679 really bad for digestion. It's bad for your sleep, it's bad for your 157 00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:46.360 absorption, it's bad for your immune system. It's much healthier to go to 158 00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:52.879 bed hungry. It's also good go to bed cold. Your brain likes being 159 00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.399 cold, you know. Challenge yourself. You know, if it's cold outside, 160 00:14:56.720 --> 00:15:03.200 go outside in a short and t shite. Be resilient. If it's 161 00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:09.399 hot outside, wear a coat and gloves and a hat and get extra sweaty. 162 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:11.320 So you say, I can handle the heat, I can handle the 163 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:16.480 cold. I can handle without food or water. I can handle myself without 164 00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:22.039 sleep. So you gotta be resilient, and you want to be consistent with 165 00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:24.600 those things. But what if you don't get a good night's sleep? Do 166 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:28.480 you want to be brain dead the whole next day? Now, my brain 167 00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:33.159 is so strong that even if I don't sleep the night before, I'm gonna 168 00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:41.279 still be on point and still that energy, that focus because I've been consistent 169 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:45.039 with it for so many years. Now, if I mess up, there's 170 00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:52.519 no repercussions because I'm resilient. Can handle the stress, right. Most people 171 00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:58.039 can't handle stress. Somebody cuts them off driving and that gets them worked up. 172 00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:04.759 Somebody says something they don't like and they get all anxious. Somebody's showed 173 00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:11.159 up late to an appointment and you get all panicky. Someone doesn't return your 174 00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:15.240 text message and you get all depressed. Don't be so sensitive, Be strong, 175 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:22.240 be resilient. You're more powerful than you can ever imagine. You're stronger 176 00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:27.200 than you believe you are. Your brain is more powerful than you think you 177 00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:30.960 are. You're your harshest critic. You think you're a lot worse than you 178 00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:37.279 are. You have a great life. I mean just being born in America. 179 00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:41.159 You won the lottery just by being born. The chances of anyone being 180 00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:45.000 born and the amount of things that have to go right for you to be 181 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:51.480 born is a miracle. And for you to be born in America, we 182 00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:56.320 have all these freedoms, and you have access to whatever you want, healthcare, 183 00:16:56.559 --> 00:17:03.840 food, education. You know, in other countries, women can't drive, 184 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:07.160 they can't go to school. In other countries, you can't buy whatever 185 00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:11.640 food you want, you can't go to whatever doctor you want. We have 186 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:18.000 all these freedoms in our country, yet everyone transtes our country. Where else 187 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:23.079 are you gonna go? What country has better rights than we do? What 188 00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:30.200 country has more opportunity for happiness and growth than we do. Our country is 189 00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:33.839 less racist than any other country in the world, but if you turn on 190 00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:38.400 the news, you'll think that we're the most racist. I mean, America 191 00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:45.039 is full of every color, aide size, you could imagine every race, 192 00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:52.240 religion. Most countries are one race and one religion. We have everything here, 193 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:56.400 right You look at our Olympic teams. There's black, there's white, 194 00:17:56.640 --> 00:18:02.960 there's Spanish, there's Asian. You go to a Chinese Olympic team, it's 195 00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:12.039 all Chinese people. You go to, you know, a Jamaican Olympic team, 196 00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:18.240 they're all Jamaican, they're all black. You go to an Indian Olympic 197 00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:22.240 team, they're all Indian. You go to Japan, they're all Japanese. 198 00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:30.880 America has everybody. You go to Mexico, they're all Mexican. But you 199 00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:34.680 go to America. We got Mexican. We got people from Africa, we 200 00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:40.599 got people from Asia, we got people from Europe. America is the best 201 00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:45.400 place to be. That's what everyone wants to come here. So every morning 202 00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:49.119 you wake up, you should thank God that you were born in America. 203 00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:59.960 Be grateful for what you have, Be grateful that you can just buy food 204 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.759 whenever you want. All you have to do is go to the store. 205 00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:06.680 You don't even have to go to the store. Now you can get it 206 00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:11.519 delivered. Right. You go to Venezuela, not so easy to get food. 207 00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:18.599 Go to Haiti, not going to be so happy. You go to 208 00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:23.519 India, You're gonna get a lot of diseases. There's a lot of poverty 209 00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:32.759 there. Our poor are rich compared to other countries. Our homeless are rich 210 00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:40.240 compared to other countries. Right, we really take care of the elderly, 211 00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:44.079 We take care of the poor. This is a great place to be, 212 00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:48.240 but you got to be grateful for it. And what if I told you 213 00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:56.759 I would give you a million dollars today, that would make you happy. 214 00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:02.799 But what if I said I would give you a million dollars but you couldn't 215 00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:08.440 wake up the next day, Nobody would take it. So just waking up 216 00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:14.920 is more valuable than a million dollars. So how come you don't wake up 217 00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:19.519 every morning like you just want a million dollars? And take care of this 218 00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:22.960 body. Take care of your brain. You only get one brain and one 219 00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:29.640 body. Stop destroying it. Stop putting in all these chemicals, all these 220 00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:33.640 food dyes, these preservatives, these artificial sweeteners, these artificial flavors, all 221 00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:40.559 this processed foods and boxes and cans and bags. If you have one car, 222 00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:45.799 are you gonna do Are you gonna give it the worst porous gasoline and 223 00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:49.720 oil? Are you gonna give it the highest quality gasoline and oil? If 224 00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:53.039 you have one car for the rest of your life, you're gonna make sure 225 00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:57.880 all your tires are rotated. You use the best oil, the best gasoline, 226 00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:03.079 because you need to last forever. Treat your body like that. Treat 227 00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:08.200 your body like you treat your car. Treat your body like you treat your 228 00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:15.559 dog, or you treat your kids. Stop putting everyone else a priority over 229 00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:21.519 your own health. If you're not healthy, you're no good to anybody on 230 00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:23.400 the airplane. What do they tell you to do? Put on your mask 231 00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:30.880 before you put on your kid's mask. Take care of yourself first. It's 232 00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:38.000 not worth your health if you can't perform properly. Right. So, if 233 00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:41.119 you have to say, oh, I can't take care of my health because 234 00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:45.720 I gotta work, what good is money If you don't have your health, 235 00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:48.160 Oh, I can't take care of myself. I gotta take care of my 236 00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:53.559 kid. You can't take care of your kid if you're not healthy. Oh, 237 00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:56.519 I haven't been prioritized my health. I've been taking care of my mom. 238 00:21:56.559 --> 00:22:02.000 I'm her caregiver. So good to your mom if you're not healthy. 239 00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:07.359 So with your health, you take care of yourself first. I want you 240 00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:15.240 to do physical exercise every day. You should do breathing exercises every day. 241 00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:21.519 The best breathing exercises is that inhale for four seconds, hold your breath for 242 00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:26.720 seven seconds, and exhale for eight seconds. You do that three times, 243 00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:33.000 and you repeat it three times a day. Another good breathing exercise, what 244 00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:38.000 you could do is where you inhale and then at the very end you inhale 245 00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:42.440 again, so you get like a double inhale and a very slow exhale. 246 00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:47.240 So let's say if we inhale for four seconds, you're gonna inhale for three 247 00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:51.200 and then the last second another big inhale, and then you're gonna try and 248 00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:56.839 exhale for eight seconds. So you go in for three and then another one. 249 00:22:57.839 --> 00:23:03.200 That's the four, and you're gonna blow out for eight. It's in 250 00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:08.319 for four, the double one exhale for eight. That's another good breathing exercise. 251 00:23:10.359 --> 00:23:14.000 I always like to exhale twice as long as you inhale, because that's 252 00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:18.279 gonna maximize your oxygen, and that's gonna get rid of your carbon dioxide. 253 00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:22.720 The more you exhale, you're getting rid of the carbon dioxide. The carbon 254 00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:26.759 dioxide is toxic to your brain and your body. So if you have diabetes 255 00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:32.720 or cancer, heart disease, oh, that stuff loves the carbon and wants 256 00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:37.079 that carbon dioxide high. Doesn't want your oxygen high. You got COVID nineteen 257 00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:44.240 lime disease, Oh, it wants that carbon dioxide. It hates the oxygen. 258 00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:48.160 So the more you increase your oxygen, the more you kill your bacteria, 259 00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:53.079 your viruses, your parasites, your worms, your yeast, your mold. 260 00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:57.920 You need oxygen because it kills off all the bad stuff. If you 261 00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:02.559 have cancer, you need more oxygen. You got diabetes, you need more 262 00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:07.240 oxygen. You got Alzheimer's stroke, Parkinson's headache, dizziness, you need more 263 00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:12.400 oxygen. That's why our patients love the hyper oxygen chamber. It helps to 264 00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:19.200 increase the function of your brain and your body and helps to recover from injury, 265 00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:22.960 whether it's your muscles, your bones, your joints, your nerves, 266 00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:27.000 or your brain. So oxygen is life. That's whether they're always looking for 267 00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:33.720 oxygen. So if you increase oxygen, you function better, you feel better, 268 00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:38.279 and you live a better life.

Function better, feel better, and live 282 00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:49.480 a better life. To function best, we need to exercise. So you 283 00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:55.400 got to do physical exercise every day. You got to do breathing exercises every 284 00:25:55.519 --> 00:26:00.519 day. When you do breathing exercises, make sure when you in the hell 285 00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:06.759 you push your belly down and out to bring the diaphragm lower. And then 286 00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:10.559 when you exhale, the belly should come in and the diaphragm goes up. 287 00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:17.759 That way we maximize our oxygen intake and we get rid of the carbon dioxide. 288 00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:22.039 Also, be aware of your posture. You might need to do posture 289 00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:26.319 exercises. Most people their heads down, their shoulders are rolled in. They're 290 00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:30.039 not gonna breathe properly. Not only that, it's gonna lead to authritis, 291 00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:34.920 degeneration, neck pain, headaches, plus Aesthetically, it's not gonna look good. 292 00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:38.160 You're gonna look like the hunchback of Notre Dame. You want to become 293 00:26:38.160 --> 00:26:41.720 one of these old ladies or old men all hunched over. Well, if 294 00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:45.559 you don't want to be hunched over, you better start doing posture exercises. 295 00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:52.480 Get off your butt, stop sitting, stand, move every twenty minutes, 296 00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:56.480 you gotta get out for twenty seconds. Do a little posture exercise. Sit 297 00:26:56.559 --> 00:27:00.720 to stand, roll your shoulders back, chin up, open up your chest. 298 00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:06.119 Do some jumping jacks, some push up, some squats. Just walk 299 00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:10.680 for twenty seconds. Move your body every twenty minutes. You use it or 300 00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:14.759 you lose it. The worst thing for the brain the body in the posture 301 00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:18.480 is sitting. Get off your butt, get up, and if you're looking 302 00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:22.559 at your cell phone, look at your cellphone straight ahead, don't look down. 303 00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:26.359 If you're working at a computer, make sure the monitor is at eye 304 00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:30.079 level. You don't want the monitor below your eye level. Then you're gonna 305 00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:34.920 look down. It's gonna ruin your posture. Keep the screen's eye level. 306 00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:40.680 Don't put them below eye level. That's going to ruin your posture. Stop 307 00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:45.920 looking down and start looking up. Everything we do is looking down. You're 308 00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:48.720 reading a book, you're looking down. You're on your cell phone. You're 309 00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:52.880 looking down. You're typing on your computer. You're looking down. You're eating, 310 00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:56.440 you're looking down. You're folding laundry, you're looking down. You're doing 311 00:27:56.440 --> 00:28:02.200 your dishes. You're looking down. Stop looking down, start looking up. 312 00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:06.799 Look up at the mountaintop. Look up at the sky, look up at 313 00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:10.559 the clouds, look up at the sun and the moon. There's a whole 314 00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:15.839 universe up there. Why are you looking down? Don't be the haunchback of 315 00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:22.240 Notre Dame. Start doing your posture exercises every day. Another good posture exercise 316 00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:29.799 is just to look up and point your thumbs backwards, so not rolling your 317 00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:34.359 shoulders in, but roll your shoulders out and point your thumbs backwards. Another 318 00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:40.519 good exercise is to stand against the door or wall and push your head straight 319 00:28:40.599 --> 00:28:45.759 back into the door or the wall. It's called an isometric exercise, very 320 00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:51.599 good for your posture, where you can do the Superman stretch where you're lying 321 00:28:51.640 --> 00:28:53.519 on your stomach and then you look up and reach out in front like you're 322 00:28:53.559 --> 00:29:02.720 flying like Superman. If you're at the gym, start doing more triceps as 323 00:29:02.759 --> 00:29:08.799 opposed to biceps. Start doing more back as opposed to chest. That's going 324 00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:18.039 to improve your posture. If your posture improves, then your oxygen increases because 325 00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:25.759 your lungs are able to expand. Also, your mood's gonna improve. Somebody 326 00:29:25.799 --> 00:29:30.000 who's depressed, right, they have poor posture. Chins down, shoulders rolled 327 00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:34.759 in, all slumped, can't breathe, low motivation, low energy. Now 328 00:29:34.839 --> 00:29:41.240 someone's very happy and vibrant and energetic. They are chins up, their posture 329 00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:45.640 is good, their shoulders are rolled back. High energy, high brain function. 330 00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:51.319 If you want to increase your brain function, you gotta increase your posture. 331 00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:56.640 You gotta do your posture exercises. You gotta do your physical exercise first 332 00:29:56.680 --> 00:30:03.000 thing in the morning. You gotta do your breathing exercises three times a day. 333 00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:11.079 You gotta do your posture exercises minimum ten times a day. You gotta 334 00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:15.279 keep exercising. As long as you exercise, everything can improve. You want 335 00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:22.119 your vision to improve, you do vision exercises. It's not rocket science. 336 00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:26.920 If you want your memory to improve, you do memory exercises. You want 337 00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:30.119 your vision to improve, you do vision exercises. You want your posture to 338 00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:36.440 improve, Guess what you gotta do posture exercises. You want your breathing to 339 00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:41.279 improve, You're gonna do breathing exercises. You want your stamina to improve, 340 00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:45.880 You want your strength to improve, you gotta run. You gotta do weightlifting. 341 00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:51.440 It's not that complicated. Your health is not that hard. You just 342 00:30:51.480 --> 00:30:55.400 gotta do the work. There's no magic pill that's gonna give you health. 343 00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:59.319 Stop looking for it. And I'm not talking about medicine. I'm talking about 344 00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:06.440 supplement and herbs. People come to me with twenty different supplements. They're taken 345 00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:11.799 and they think that's healthy. That's not healthy. If you're healthy, you 346 00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:18.720 don't need pills. You get everything from the earth. You get it from 347 00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:22.599 your sunlight, from the oxygen, from the water, from the food. 348 00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:30.559 It's all free. The sunlight is free, the oxygen is free, the 349 00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:34.440 water is free. Your food can be free. You just gotta grow it. 350 00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:41.640 Take the seeds and grow your own food. You can be healthy at 351 00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:48.359 a very low budget. If you want to be unhealthy, yeah, drink 352 00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:53.960 your seven dollars Starbucks, have your glass of wine every night, order out 353 00:31:53.960 --> 00:32:00.240 your lunch every day. You're gonna waste your money and you're not going to 354 00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:05.119 be healthy. You want to save money and be healthy. Use all the 355 00:32:05.160 --> 00:32:08.880 free stuff. Your sun, your oxygen, your water, and your food. 356 00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:14.200 That's all you need to be healthy. You don't need a gym. 357 00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:19.519 You could do weight resistant exercises with rocks and sticks. You don't need a 358 00:32:19.519 --> 00:32:24.440 treadmill. You can run outside. There's no expenses needed. To exercise, 359 00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:37.119 take advantage, start using your brains, start using logic. Don't follow what 360 00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:40.960 everyone else tells you. If you follow the ninety nine percent, you're gonna 361 00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:46.039 end up like the ninety nine percent. The ninety nine percent, they're fat, 362 00:32:46.519 --> 00:32:52.720 they got heart disease, they got cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's, depression, 363 00:32:52.160 --> 00:33:00.519 anxiety, they're miserable, they complain. That's your typical American. You 364 00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:09.160 got to be the one percent who's strong and healthy and energetic and happy and 365 00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:15.759 loving and giving and charitable and spiritual. You got to do the work that 366 00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:19.160 no one else is doing. If you want to be the one percent, 367 00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:22.359 If you want to have that high quality of life, if you want to 368 00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:28.079 have that triple digits, you want to live past one hundred, but in 369 00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:31.519 a healthy way. It'll be great if you live past one hundred and you're 370 00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:38.480 healthy. Yet it would suck if you're seventy and you're in a wheelchair and 371 00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:42.440 you wear a diaper and you're in a nursing home. Right, A lot 372 00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:44.960 of people say, oh, well, I don't want to live to one 373 00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:50.079 hundred, so I'm gonna drink all my alcohol and eat my donuts and have 374 00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:54.480 my fried food and party all night and do drugs and not drink. So 375 00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:58.920 you're gonna live your life, But then the last twenty thirty years, you're 376 00:33:58.920 --> 00:34:02.160 gonna be miserable. You're gonna be sick. You're gonna be in the hospital, 377 00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:07.960 seeing doctors, stuck with tubes and injections, being all these medicines being 378 00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:14.039 cut open, having a poor quality of life. Don't you want a good 379 00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:17.840 quality of life. Don't you want to age gracefully? Don't you want to 380 00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:24.360 look good? You want to look all wrinkly, dementia, hunchback, diaper, 381 00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:30.280 nursing home, wheelchair. I don't want to end up like that. 382 00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:32.480 That's why I work so hard to take care of my body. Now, 383 00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:38.320 after forty years of age, you lose ten percent of all your brain cells. 384 00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:44.599 So make sure that those brain cells are as strong as possible, and 385 00:34:44.679 --> 00:34:47.800 make sure we detox and get rid of the bad brain cells. You have 386 00:34:47.840 --> 00:34:53.599 these glial cells, they clean up all the bad brain cells. You have 387 00:34:54.400 --> 00:35:00.159 good cholesterol cleans up all the bad cholesterol. You have good back to kills 388 00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:06.119 off all the bad bacteria. Your body is amazing at healing itself. We 389 00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:14.320 just need to unleash its potential. Stop beating it crap. Stop drinking coffee, 390 00:35:14.400 --> 00:35:20.079 drinking alcohol, drinking your gatorade and your energy drinks. Just drink water. 391 00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:23.039 That's it. Stop having your bread and your cheese and your cream cheese, 392 00:35:23.079 --> 00:35:28.880 and your yogurt and your oatmeal and your cereal. That's unhealthy. Start 393 00:35:28.880 --> 00:35:34.079 having your fruits and veggies, and your nuts and seeds, and your wildfish 394 00:35:34.119 --> 00:35:40.039 and your organic eggs and your pasture grass fed and meat, and your free 395 00:35:40.119 --> 00:35:46.039 roaming chickens, and your no pesticides, no herbicides, no chemicals, no 396 00:35:46.119 --> 00:35:52.960 steroids, no antibiotics, no genetically modified You could do it, and when 397 00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:57.880 you do it, you'll see the results. So imagine if you exercise every 398 00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:02.360 day, you eat healthy every day, you work on your posture every day, 399 00:36:04.039 --> 00:36:07.800 you do your breathing exercises every day. Imagine how your quality of life 400 00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:15.920 would change. Stop watching the basketball games or the baseball games. Stop watching 401 00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:22.880 you know, TV and Netflix. You're wasting your time. Do stuff more 402 00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:32.480 productive. Stop you know, stop loving all these singers and Taylor Swift and 403 00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:39.400 actors and athletes, and start looking up to people who change the world. 404 00:36:39.760 --> 00:36:47.280 Maybe doctors who were helping reverse Parkinson's disease, or maybe you know, engineers 405 00:36:47.400 --> 00:36:53.880 or making these new discoveries, or people who figure out how to build longer 406 00:36:53.960 --> 00:37:01.360 lasting bridges and make good tunnels, and people who are contributing to society, 407 00:37:04.199 --> 00:37:07.760 who figure out how to clean the ocean water. Those are the people that 408 00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:14.239 we should be cheering and emulating and want to be on their TikTok and Instagram, 409 00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:21.480 not the Kardashians. People who are doing good in the world, doctors 410 00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:28.440 and scientists and engineers and researchers and developers, and those are the people that 411 00:37:28.599 --> 00:37:32.719 we need to look up to, not the singers, the athletes and the 412 00:37:32.840 --> 00:37:40.199 actors that do no benefit for your life and this world. Let's start kind 413 00:37:40.199 --> 00:37:45.920 of seeing who we want to be like, who we want our mentors to 414 00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:52.400 be, who we listen to, what advice we take from.

There 431 00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:17.800 are many ways to boost your brain power, and it all starts with exercise, 432 00:39:19.639 --> 00:39:29.039 physical exercise, breathing exercise, posture exercise, also eye exercises. You 433 00:39:29.079 --> 00:39:35.920 want your vision to prove, do I exercises? How about do exercises for 434 00:39:36.559 --> 00:39:45.480 charity? For volunteer right whatever it is the triboral food pantry or you know 435 00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:52.800 help the homeless, or you know volunteer at the library, or volunteer at 436 00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:58.840 the senior citizen center, or volunteer at the nursing home, or give to 437 00:39:58.960 --> 00:40:04.960 some charity, or help people in you know, Venezuela or Haiti, or 438 00:40:05.719 --> 00:40:09.360 in the Middle East or in the Ukraine or anyone who needs help. Start 439 00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:15.079 doing more charity that boost your brain power. The more you give, the 440 00:40:15.119 --> 00:40:19.760 stronger your brain becomes. And not only does your brain become stronger, the 441 00:40:19.840 --> 00:40:23.159 person that you give to their brain becomes stronger. And anyone who witnesses your 442 00:40:23.239 --> 00:40:28.360 good need, they will become stronger too. So you got to exercise that 443 00:40:28.519 --> 00:40:36.840 charity muscle. You got to exercise that volunteerism. Start helping others and expecting 444 00:40:36.920 --> 00:40:42.360 nothing in return. You will get a return in the increase in brain function, 445 00:40:42.960 --> 00:40:49.760 but don't expect a monetary return or some favor or some time issue. 446 00:40:50.679 --> 00:40:54.519 Just know that you're improving your brain, all right. That's the best reward 447 00:40:54.599 --> 00:40:59.760 you could get. Do stuff, not to get stuff back, but just 448 00:40:59.840 --> 00:41:02.320 cause it feels good. It makes you feel good about yourself. It boosts 449 00:41:02.360 --> 00:41:07.400 your brain power. You know, when you help other people and you see 450 00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:12.360 a smile on their face, there's no pill that can match the endorphins that 451 00:41:12.519 --> 00:41:19.039 release the serotonins that release the oxytocin that's released when you help a friend, 452 00:41:19.199 --> 00:41:23.719 a loved one, or even a stranger. Right, there's nothing more powerful 453 00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:31.039 than helping other people to boost your brain power, exercise your spirituality. And 454 00:41:31.079 --> 00:41:37.079 I don't care what religion you are, or even if you're atheist or agnostic, 455 00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:44.559 but you need to have some spirituality. You need to know that there's 456 00:41:44.599 --> 00:41:49.760 something beyond you. And I don't care if it's the sun or the moon, 457 00:41:51.519 --> 00:41:58.960 but look up to something. Doesn't have to be God or Allah or 458 00:41:59.079 --> 00:42:05.519 at an eye or Jesus. But have some spirituality. You know, you 459 00:42:05.599 --> 00:42:14.599 might practice Buddhism or or Hinduism, or you know, there's so many good 460 00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:19.599 studies out there. I like Stoicism. That's one of my favorite things to 461 00:42:19.639 --> 00:42:28.840 study. There's a great book it's called Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, and he 462 00:42:28.920 --> 00:42:34.320 basically was taught by these Stoics and put it down in a book. And 463 00:42:34.400 --> 00:42:37.159 he was this one of the leaders of the Roman Empire. And he could 464 00:42:37.199 --> 00:42:43.360 have just enjoyed being the king and the riches and the emperor and you know, 465 00:42:43.559 --> 00:42:47.320 have sex with hot girls and get fed grapes and sleep in and you 466 00:42:47.360 --> 00:42:51.480 know, not do anything and not work and be lazy. But no, 467 00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:54.920 he decided, Hey, and this was you know, thousands of years ago. 468 00:42:55.079 --> 00:43:00.320 He talked about not you know, getting out from under the colors of 469 00:43:00.360 --> 00:43:02.800 the bed. You know, it's like how many people wake up and I 470 00:43:02.840 --> 00:43:05.800 don't want to get out of bed, and they just stay in bed. 471 00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:08.360 He didn't have to get out of bed for anything. He was the emperor, 472 00:43:09.519 --> 00:43:15.400 but he got up. Marcus Aurelius, he's my favorite Roman empire because 473 00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:22.519 he worked at it. He did charity, He helped others, you know, 474 00:43:22.559 --> 00:43:25.400 he did. When they had the colosseum where they the gladiator used to 475 00:43:25.480 --> 00:43:30.199 kill each other, he made it so that they wouldn't kill each other anymore. 476 00:43:30.199 --> 00:43:35.000 He made the swords that wouldn't stab, you know, they were dull 477 00:43:35.239 --> 00:43:39.159 points, so no one would die. You know. He made sure that 478 00:43:39.320 --> 00:43:45.519 the slaves were fed properly and that they had good sleeping corners and gave water 479 00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:52.920 and food. He gave away half his emperor right away. He was the 480 00:43:52.920 --> 00:43:59.320 most giving emperor in the history of mankind because he practiced stoicism. He was 481 00:43:59.360 --> 00:44:06.199 spiritual and that helped his brain. And you'll see his book Meditations, and 482 00:44:06.239 --> 00:44:12.760 you'll see how powerful his brain is the brain can get rewired. It's called 483 00:44:12.840 --> 00:44:17.559 neuroplasticity, where you can rewire the brain and strengthen weak areas. I don't 484 00:44:17.559 --> 00:44:22.440 care if you've had a stroke, if you've had an aneurism, if you've 485 00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:30.519 got Parkinson's MS, you've got dementia. Your brain can rewire. Don't believe 486 00:44:30.760 --> 00:44:36.159 the people that tell you your brain gets worse with age. That is a 487 00:44:36.239 --> 00:44:44.360 lie. It's completely fabricated. Your brain can improve as you get older. 488 00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:51.559 Your posture can improve as you get older. Your vision can improve as you 489 00:44:51.599 --> 00:44:54.400 get older. You just got to do the work. Now, how do 490 00:44:54.440 --> 00:44:58.960 you know what work you have to do? You got to do a thorough 491 00:44:59.079 --> 00:45:06.320 neurological a value. The best neurological evaluation is called a qEEG brain mapping. 492 00:45:07.559 --> 00:45:12.719 A qEEG brain mapping is this test where you wear a cap and it's got 493 00:45:12.760 --> 00:45:16.960 electrodes attached to it and it measures all your different brain waves. It measures 494 00:45:17.000 --> 00:45:21.320 your alpha and your beta, and your theta and your delta, and it 495 00:45:21.400 --> 00:45:24.360 tells us which areas of the brain are functioning well and which areas of the 496 00:45:24.360 --> 00:45:30.079 brain are not functioning well. Once we discovers which areas are not functioning well, 497 00:45:30.400 --> 00:45:36.119 now I can tell you which exercises you need to do to strengthen those 498 00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:40.360 weak areas.
