You're Jestic native driver on the Highway to health, Doctor Bob Martin, he's
on the Better Health Network. Friends at the time, old doctor Robin doctors.
Thank you well. The reality is your body didn't come with an owner's
manual, so I provide the Doctor Bob Martson Show. Let me be your
designated driver on the Highway to health, because unlike the government, I really
am here to help you out with your health. If you wear out your
body, where will you live? All right, Welcome to this hour of
the Doctor Bob Martin Show. We appreciate you tuning into the program today.
Coming up a little bit later in this hour, we're going to have this
week's installments of the Health Alternative of the Week. That'll be by the Health
Outrage of the Week. Then we've got a product recall to tell you about,
and we'll finish off the hour with the Health Mystery of the Week.
And if you're just tuning into the program, welcome, Welcome back to our
other listeners. We have a health poll question we're also wanting to get your
opinion of posted up on my personal website at doctor Bob dot com. Spelling
out the word doctor doctor Bob dot com. You will see the health poll
question based on a survey, an actual survey from a company trying to figure
out if allowing employees to use their personal cell phones or their smartphones during work
helps to reduce their level of anxiety at work and therefore bolsters their productivity at
work. Because there's been an argument between certain employers and employees. Employers see
employees as wasting time at work text messaging, looking at their phones, surfing
on the internet, talking, having conversations with friends and family members when they
should be working and producing for the company who is paying them a salary or
an hourly fee. So that argument's been going on, and some employers are
now demanding that people not use their smart small phones or their cell phones during
their work hours. And some employers are saying, look, there's a little
cubby hole for you. Drop off your smartphone right there, do not turn
it on, and do not touch it while you're employed here for the next
eight hours. If you want to take it outside or use it during your
lunch hour or your break, you may do so, but during your work
hours you won't want to. We do not authorize you to use that phone
whatsoever. So we're asking you to weigh in on this question this survey,
and that is, do you believe allowing employees to use their personal smartphones at
work reduces anxiety? Yes? Or no again, voted doctor Bob dot com.
There you also find lots of news from around the globe health related and
that's where the podcast library lives and where you can also connect up to by
social media platform sites Instagram x formerly Twitter, and LinkedIn. All right,
we begin this hour with a very troubling excuse me, a very troubling conversation
related to children that consume junk food and how that impacts their health. Specifically,
how eating junk food children that is, can cause a stiffening of their
arteries that sounds scary on its face. Arteries are key blood vessels which bring
oxygen rich blood to the heart and the cells of the whole body. And
stiffness in arteries anyone's arteries, and in this case we're talking about children.
Stiffness in arteries is an important early marker of damage and is caused by a
loss of elastic fibers and stiffer collagen fibers in the blood vessels, increasing the
risk of high blood pressure, strokes and heart attacks. So what is happening
here? Experts from three different universities studied almost five thousand children to see if,
in fact allowing children to eat junk food that if they did, would
they develop any kind of health consequence as a result of that. And sure
enough, that's exactly what they have found, which is, or at least
it should be frightening for everybody to learn this our future in our children and
having food impact them in this manner and leaving them susceptible to futureistic health problems.
Children who live on junk food diets can develop stiffer arteries by age seventeen.
That's what the researchers are now warning about. Stiffer arteries raise the risk
of stroke and heart attacks. The study was based on about five thousand children
born in the nineteen nineties. Discovered the those who followed a Mediterranean diet rich
in vegetables, fruits, beans, pulses, and other things like fish and
other health of foods had less stiffness in their arteries compared to children who ate
let's say, the standard American diet or the sad diet in which they're being
exposed to a lot of junk food, sugar too, much saturated fat.
Experts said it shows the importance of developing a well balanced eating habit in these
children and suggests earlier checks for children could prevent future heart problems. Because you
know, everybody has this concept that heart disease starts the day before, the
week before, the month before, or the year before somebody has a heart
attack. Let's say somebody has a heart attack at age fifty. The average
person can deduce, if they are unaware of this, that that heart disease.
The average person will think, oh, that person developed heart disease,
or they must have had a very stressful year, or maybe it was a
stressful month that brought their heart disease on. No, the culmination of a
heart attack in any human being is chronic, meaning the underlying issues have been
there for a long time and usually developed in childhood. And the reason that
researchers know this is because during the Second World War they did a study where
they looked at the brave men and women who came back from the war theater
who had died, and upon autopsy, they determined that these nineteen twenty twenty
one twenty two year old men and women who valiantly fought for our country and
died. When they did autopsies of some of their bodies, they find that
they had heart disease in their early twenties or their late teens, and they're
thinks of themselves, when did this start? How could this be? They
weren't in war that long. It couldn't have been. They weren't under stress
long enough to generate this, and they traced it back to their childhood and
the consumption of You guessed exactly what this particular study has confirmed once again,
and that is if you feed children junk food, they will develop stiffened arteries
and be susceptible to those same diseases that adults are susceptible to. When you
have stiff arteries, high blood pressure, heart disease, and strokes. Now,
the results of these of this study conducted by three different universities on over
five thousand children. The results showed that children with diets high in calories.
This included fats and sugars, and we're on diets that were low in fiber
between the ages of seven and ten years of age had stiffer arteries by the
time they were seventeen years of age, compared to children who had eaten less
caloric, less fatty, and less sugary foods during childhood. Wow, that
has to just for parents and grandparents and anybody who's got a young children in
your life. This should be just like shocking. You think all those children,
they can eat just about anything because they're burning it off. Look at
them, they're thin, they're moving so fast, they have so much energy.
They have more than energy than they need. I wish I had some,
not so much. We'll finish this off when we come back. You're
tuned into the Doctor Bob Martins Show. Are you tired of crazy blood sugar
and blood pressure numbers? Doctor Bob Martin here, listen to this true story.

oxide to enjoy optimal health. Contributors to the development of nitric oxide deficiency include
consumption of sugar, unhealthy fats, inflammation, age, and unhealthy lifestyle.

shortly here, we're going to have for you this week's installment of the health
Alternative of the Week, So stand by for that if you're also tuning into
and you're not aware of it. We have a health poll question going on
on my website that goes like this, Do you believe allowing employees to use
their personal smartphone at work helps reduce anxiety? Yes? Or no? Now,
there was a previous study that looked at that, and I'll have those
results for you and we'll compare them next week as we develop our data.

that allowing employees to use their personal smartphones at work reduces anxiety? Yes?
Or no? Voted doctor Bob dot com, spelling out the word doctor doctor
Bob dot com. Now I want to finish up if you're just tuning in
this information about children who eat junk food and how it can stiffen their arteries
by age seventeen. Now, the last thing a loving parent would ever contemplate
is knowingly damaging their child's health. The scientists from three prominent universities assess the
diets of nearly five thousand children from the age of seven. Stiffness of the
arteries is an important early marker of damage and is caused by a loss of
elastic fibers and stiffer collagen fibers in the blood vessels of these children, increasing
the risk of high blood pressure, strokes and even heart attacks. And this
study is showing conclusively that if we allow children to constantly eat junk food,
food devitalized food that's not whole and full of nutrients, and it's full of
too much sugar and too much fat, they're going to have stiff arteries and
lead to This is where heart disease begins in childhood, not at age fifty
two, the week before, month before, a year before a heart attack
occurs. Now, when they were looking at the results of these children,
it was scary to the researchers to figure out that it horrified them to see
that their arteries were stiff. When they study these children seven to seven,
age seven and ten, they were looking at them and they ultimately determined that
by age seventeen, by consuming these junk food diets, which are excessive in
the area of fat and sugar in childhood, caused stiffening of the arteries.
And when looking at Mediterranean style diets, experts also found that children who ate
more foods like fish and vegetables and fruit and beans, they had reduced arterial
stiffness at age seventeen. So consuming these anti inflammatory foods aged ten, such
as fruits and vegetables, particularly berries and a variety of brightly colored vegetables,
as well as nuts, seed spices and seafood led to less artery stiffness in
those children that basically they measured at age seventeen. This was written up in
the British Journal of Nutrition, saying that every child's caloric requirement is different and
depends on their age, size and how much exercise they do. However,
the research at the Bristol Medical School, University of Bristol and other prestigious universities
have nailed this down. So the takeaway here is that consuming excess calvaries from
junk food, highly processed and processed foods is undermining the health of our youth.
And if we don't have health in our youth, what do we have
as a country. So the sooner we can get started at reducing the explosion
of children consuming these junk food diets that are full of rancid fats, fried
fats, saturated fats in excess, and sugar to boot is part of the
problem. And when you have these children who are developing stiffened arteries and damage
at an early age, they go on to as adults, develop more serious
problems. And this is how heart disease, the number two killer of man
only secondary to medical miscare, gets started. It starts in childhood. It
doesn't start at age forty or age twenty five. Let's say when somebody takes
up smoking and they develop heart disease from smoking, which that is a certain
cause of it, for sure. No stiffening of arteries, even demonstrated in
children starting at age seven and going up to and measuring it at age seventeen,
begins the day that children are allowed to or are fed sugar junk food
diets that are high in saturated fats. Now, it's not difficult to wean
children away from this, and better yet not to start the at all by
learning about is what constitutes a more Mediterranean style diet, where they're getting more
fruits, more vegetables, more bean seeds, nuts, fish, fermented foods,
dairy, Perhaps good oils like cold pressed virgin olive oil and avocado oil
versus what I talked about last week on the show, the deadly seed oils
as in the case of soy oil, canola oil, safflour, sunflower,
all of those oils. Way too much of that, and that's in processed
foods and chips and everything else that these children are getting exposed to. On
top of that, the sugar and the saturated fat. That's where the problem
is. All right, enough said about that. It is time now,
ladies and gentlemen, for this week's installment of the Health Alternative of the Week.
Here we go, all right, The Health Alternative of the Week is
to encourage you to become a regenavore. To be a regenavore. What is
the regenavore, doctor Bob, What in the heck are you talking about?
Well, most people have heard the expression carnivore. Carnivore is an eating style
of somebody who eats pretty much animal products, meat, dairy, eggs,
that's it carnivores. And some people have a total carnivore diet that they don't
eat vegetables, they don't eat anything, you don't fruit. All they eat
is meat, dairy, and eggs mostly or primarily. Where you have an
omnivore, and see, we're all put into these categories folks as life omnivore,
which is a diet which is pretty much a combination of plant based foods
and animal based foods. And then you have herbivore diets, which are pretty
much vegetarians or vegans who eat only plant materials. They don't eat any animal
products whatsoever. So you have carnivore, omnivore, and herbivore. Now we've
generated another category called regenovore. Regenavore doesn't mean not eating meat, but rather
a regenerative way of nourishing ourselves to recognize that our food choices impact not only
our own health, but also the health of our environment. And pretty much
here is five simple steps to start eating like a regenovore. Number one,
start with eating half of your plate. In other words, don't fill the
whole plate up with food filled up halfway. A low in carb and calorie
organic vegetable foods will help you cut down the calories and also give that digestive
system rest. And how about putting on that plate, by the way,
lots of broccoli, ergus, zucchini, spinach, avocado, cauliflower, green
beans. I'm just giving you some choices here, cabbage, artichokes, and
doing so by increasing those veggies, you're going to decrease various diseases and improve
your overall health and happiness. Number two one organic palm sized portion of organically
raised and sustainably raised protein. That doesn't mean you have to become a vegetarian.
Your animal proteins contain high levels of vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats
and all of the essential amino acids in sufficient amounts to fuel the body for
its regenerative capacities. Number three eating fats organ organic source olive oil, avocado
oil, four staying away for unhealthy fats like hydrogenated oils. And five choosing
supplements to support the body be a regenav wore the number on health concern as
we move toward and beyond the age of retirement is fear of losing our vision
and therefore the ability to remain independent. Most of us, at some point
in time have uttered the words I'm not seeing as well as I used to,
or I think I need stronger glasses. If you are nearing or past
age forty, it's not your imagination that your vision is getting worse. What
is likely causing your vision to deteriorate is cataract formation. Cataracts occur when the
lens of the eye becomes cloudy in blocks light from entering, which interferes with
sharp, clear vision. A science based cataract reversal eye drop called can See
is changing lives of people with poor vision caused by cataract. Learn more about

right, it is now time, ladies and gentlemen, for this week's installment
of the Health Outrage of the Week. Jess, you don't believe it,
come on each time for the Health Outradge because it's done the bullet it is,
all right, and it's also scary to even contemplate this. You know,
people do a healthy lifestyle to try to avoid getting sick, and a
lot of people in the United States do not drink sink water or tap water.
They just don't drink that. They will have in some manner the ability
to drink bottled water. But therein lies a concern that has been raised.
You may have heard about this already. The health outrage of the week is
the fact that the average bottle of water contains two hundred and forty thousand pieces
of cancer causing nanoplastics, one hundred times more than previously thought. Bottles of
plastic water contain hundreds and thousands, hundreds of thousands of toxic micro plastic particles.
That's what new research is found. The findings are likely to shock anyone
who swapped from tap or to a bottle water believing it was better for their
health. Drinking water from a bottle could mean you are contaminating your body with
tiny bits of plastic, which scientists fear can accumulate in your vital organs with
unknown health consequences. These nanoplastics have already been linked to cancer, fertility problems,
and birth defects. Scientists using the most advanced laser scanning techniques found an
average of two hundred and forty thousand plastic particles in one lead bottle of water
compared to five point five per one leader of tap water. Now, folks,
I mean there is so many outrages associated with this. I don't even
know where to begin here. We are thinking that tapwater because you've seen it
on the front page of newspapers, it has been televised on television that tapwater,
water that comes through your faucets of your home can be problematic because the
municipal water systems don't have the sophisticated water systems enough to filter out every single
contaminant known to mankind, just the big stuff. And we've read stories where
they have found over the years trace amounts of antibiotics and steroids and cancer drugs
and all kinds of different pharmaceutical drugs coming through the municipal water systems into faucets.
So, of course that's why people moved over to bottled water, water
that has been more thoroughly detoxified, if you will, or cleansed, and
thus why people purchase expensive bottled water in plastic. Unfortunately, though, these
plastic particles are now being measured through these very sophisticated sensing rays of devices that
can actually measure this these lasers that can pick up how many tiny tiny pieces
of these plastic particles that you cannot see with the naked eye, But yet
they are there in the at the level of hundreds of thousands that you're drinking,
you are imparting into your body. University of Columbia researchers tested three popular
brands of bottled water sold here in the US, and using these lasers,
analyzed the plastic particles they contained down to just one hundred nanometers in size.
And I know a lot of you are saying, hey, what the heck?
The little plastics not can hurt you, is it? Well, yes,
of course plastic doesn't belong in your body. That's a petrochemical. Yeah,
it's in the tiny little pieces. But when you have two hundred and
forty thousand pieces of these nanoplastic particles in a bottle of water, what does
that represent. I don't think anybody knows that the particles, these nanoplastics are
much smaller than the microplastics previously detected in bottled water. However, the articles
are considered potentially toxic because they are so small that they can enter directly into
the blood stream and blood cells, and they can enter directly into the brain,
which means they are able to cross the BBB, the blood brain barrier
that you never want anything to cross in terms of toxicity. Is the last
thing you want is your brain full of plastic, petrochemicals, or toxic metals
or anything else that doesn't blong up there. Besides basically fat and blood supply.
These micro scopic particles carry thalades, which we have talked about on this
radio show for years, chemicals that make plastics more durable, flexible, and
last longer. Balaate exposure is attributable to one hundred thousand premature your desks in
the US every single year, and the chemicals are known to interfere with our
hormone production in the body. That's part of it. They are linked with
the development reproduction brain, your immune system, and other problems. According to
the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences, the highest estimate was found at three
hundred and seventy thousand particles. These nanoplastics have been too difficult to detect using
conventional techniques, and that's why they're now using these lasers to figure all of
this out, which is absolutely outrageous. I can't even believe what I'm reading
here, but it's true. What's the answer, Well, you put it
in glass bottles. Get away from the plastic. All Americans are exposed daily
to toxic chemicals and environmental pollution in the air we breathe, the water we
drink, food, clothes we wear, the places we work, and in
our homes. Environmental pollutants are even present in the umbilical cord blood of newborns.

Do take the opportunity, if you will, to vote on this week's health
poll question that's over on my website, and it goes like this, do
you believe allowing employees to use their personal smartphone or cell phones at work helps
to reduce anxiety in people who are employed? Yes? Or no? There
was a study on this, and I'll tell you what the results of that
was once we get our get our polling data. But do vote on that.
Go over to my website doctor Bob dot com spelling out the word doctor
to vote on that. Appreciate it all. Right, Now let's get into
the issue of breastfeeding and how breastfeeding takes a bite out of childhood obesity and
breast cancer. Now, I have a big built in bias toward breastfeeding because
all six of our children were breast fed one year and beyond. But I
digress. I am a big advocate of breastfeeding, and I have told basically
every single mother that I've ever come in contact with in practice and in life
to consider strongly breastfeeding. It'll be the best gift you can give your child.
Ever. Here we find that early breastfeeding is linked to lower risk of
childhood obesity regardless of the mother's weight. That's according to a National Institute's of
Health study. Consistently breastfeeding infants in any amount during their first three months of
life was associated with a lower risk of childhood obesity, regardless of the mother's
body mass index before pregnancy, according to a new study funded by the Environmental
by the Environmental Influences on Child Health Outcomes or otherwise known as ECHO for short
program at the National Institutes of Health. While previous studies have shown that breastfeeding
may protect children against obesity and a long list of chronic quality of life lowering
conditions, this relationship has been studied much in women with obesity. Researchers wanted
to explore the possibility link between breastfeeding practices in women with obesity and overweight before
pregnancy and a child's BMIZ score, their baso metabolic index score. In the
new study, researchers found that any amount of consistent breastfeeding during and infant's first
three months was associated with low BMIZ scores calculated later at ages between six and
or rather two and six years, regardless of the mother's pre pregnancy BASI metabolic
index herself or BMI. This protective association appeared stronger for children with mothers who
had obesity before pregnancy compared to those categorized as overweight during the same time.
The study findings highlight that each additional month of breastfeeding, whether a consistent amount
or exclusively, may contribute to a lower weight later in childhood, especially for
mothers who had obesity excuse me before pregnancy. That according to Gail Ship,
who's a PhD and a registered dietitian at Michigan State University. Doctor Ship goes
on to say health professionals can use this study the study's findings as an opportunity
to encourage and promote breastfeeding among all women, especially women who are obese,
who have obesity when they become pregnant. And I say to that, wouldn't
it be great if more doctors encouraged breastfeeding. We can do so much better.
We can do such a better job at encouraging breastfeeding in this country if
doctors will just have that conversation with their patients. Now this doctorship who ran
this study. The study was published in the journal Pediatrics and you might be
thinking, Okay, well it's too late for me to breastfeed. No,
no, well guess what what about the lowering effects of breast cancer in women
who breastfeed? Listen to this. In South China, the Tanka boat women,
who traditionally breastfeed only from the right breast, have a higher incidence of
cancer in the unsuckled left breast. So not only does breastfeeding help the child
in reducing the child's illness going forward via obesity and all the other diseases that
go along with that, but breastfeeding also lowers breast cancer. And if you
don't believe me there, think about this. It's been shown that there is
a higher incidence of breast cancer in nuns. And why is that Well,
because nuns don't become pregnant and they don't breast feed children. Therefore there's a
higher rate of breast cancer in nuns. And you can deduce from that.
And I don't think I don't know if it's ever been studied. Maybe it
has. Maybe this is how this has been discovered. I'm not sure.
But here you have another group of women, Canadian Inuit women who traditionally engage
in long term breastfeeding. They're the ones who have the lower rates of breast
cancer, So why don't more doctors promote breastfeeding for all the reasons just stated,
Well, your guess is as good as mine, and I'll just leave
it at that. You're tuned into the Doctor Bob Martin Show. All Americans

Oil and gas companies are constantly adapting to a rapidly changing landscape. IBM's Institute
for Business Value surveyed two thousand executives in twenty five countries for the Digital Energy
Company of the Future study. What they learned is that price volatility, aging,
infrastructure and more are in a balancing act with increased customer expectations and disrupted
ecosystems. Phil Spring, IBM consulting Energy and Resources leader for these companies.
This is about transitioning to a future of low carbon energy and products, but
it is also about value and profit as well as purpose. So of the
companies that we surveyed what we refer to as visionary vanguards, they are taking
transformative action. They're using digital technologies and data, and they're integrating sustainability into
their investment cases to help transform to the digital energy Company of the future.
If oiling gas companies stay focused on implementing database decision making, embedding AI and
automation, in the business and aligning sustainability goals with digital transformation, they will
be on their way to becoming the digital energy companies of the future. To

move toward and beyond the age of retirement is fear of losing our vision and
therefore the ability to remain independent. Most of us, at some point in
time have uttered the words I'm not seeing as well as I used to,
or I think I need stronger glasses. If you are nearing or past age
forty, it's not your imagination that your vision is getting worse. What is
likely causing your vision to deteriorate is cataract formation. Cataracts occur when the lens
of the eye becomes cloudy in blocks light from entering, which interferes with sharp,
clear vision. A science based cataract reversal eye drop called can See is
changing lives of people with poor vision caused by cataract. Learn more about can

All right, doctor Bob, march back, and you're going to get
to a product recall here really quickly, a product recall followed by the health
mystery of the week. So let's do the product recall of the week here,
and here we go. Home Medics recalls massagers due to a fire and
burn hazard. So if you've got one of these handheld massagers by a company
by the name of Home Medics returning they were sold over at J. C.
Penny Lowe's Wholesale Club Macy's, forty six thousand of these things went out.
They were manufactured in China, as almost everything is these days, unfortunately,
and consumers should stop using them. They recalled massagers and return them for
a money back refund. All right, that's it on the product recall,
and we roll right from there into the health mystery of the week, the
health mystery of the week. Getting older does not mean you're wiser, even
though the saying goes that way. The great Irish poet Oscar Wilde once said
with age comes wisdom, but new research suggests this may not be true,
at least not in the real world. Doc Judith Kluck, a psychologist from
the University of cal Jenfert in Austria, has conducted a review of prior studies
linking age with wisdom. She concludes that statistically, relationships between wisdom and chronologic
age are not strong, despite common assumptions and portrayals in popular culture. Although
wisdom can't often and often does come with age, getting older is not enough
to make you wiser mysteriously enough, and popular culture just depicts the wise old
man or woman as wise, but the matter of fact leads to wisdom is
far more nuanced. The reviews suggest neither getting old nor accumulating life experiences is
sufficient for growing wise. While many people associate wisdom with advanced age, becoming
wise clearly requires more than just growing old. Doctor Gluck argues that there is
no universal trajectory of wisdom development. In other words, people around the world
don't just automatically become wise over time. Life experiences rather than time, are
instead what results in wisdom development. But then these aren't unique to people who
are old. And that is so true, and it's so mysterious, you'd
think that it would be you know, you gain wisdom as you get older
because you're accumulating. But I know people who are wise at age fifteen and
twenty and people who are absolutely have no wisdom whatsoever. And there's still seventy.
As mysterious as it sounds, it's contradictory to what you would believe.
That's why it qualified as the Health Mystery The week I want to have you
make it a healthy day and a healthy week. You've been listening to the
Doctor Bob Martin show, Be Well,
