1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.879
<v Speaker 1>Well, a good Sunday evening to everybody. Doctor Joe Galotti,

2
00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:07.480
<v Speaker 1>you're tuned into your Health First every Sunday between seven

3
00:00:07.639 --> 00:00:12.720
<v Speaker 1>and eight pm. We're here with a single minded mission

4
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:17.640
<v Speaker 1>of raising your Health IQ and creating greater awareness for

5
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:20.399
<v Speaker 1>all of you to understand the ins and the outs

6
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:24.679
<v Speaker 1>of health care and how to stay healthy. Every Sunday.

7
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:29.120
<v Speaker 1>Don't forget at seven o'clock. Now, we've been on the

8
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>road out of town for the past few weeks. I

9
00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:36.159
<v Speaker 1>was in a I was on a safari, a photographic

10
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:41.479
<v Speaker 1>safari in Tanzania, so you had to listen to some

11
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.399
<v Speaker 1>of the past episodes of your Health First the past

12
00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:48.439
<v Speaker 1>few Sundays. But we're here back in person on American

13
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:53.399
<v Speaker 1>soil this Sunday, and again this is the Memorial Day weekend,

14
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:58.960
<v Speaker 1>and I do think that we all need to take

15
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:02.840
<v Speaker 1>a pause, be thankful for the country we live in,

16
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:08.120
<v Speaker 1>be thankful for the freedoms, be thankful for our way

17
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:12.000
<v Speaker 1>of life, and realize that this was something that we

18
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:17.400
<v Speaker 1>had to defend and fight for and people lost their lives,

19
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:20.840
<v Speaker 1>and this is the weekend that we remember those even

20
00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:23.599
<v Speaker 1>though we should remember them every single day of the week.

21
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.879
<v Speaker 1>We have to remember those men and women over the

22
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:32.840
<v Speaker 1>years that have protected all of us through various conflicts,

23
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:38.000
<v Speaker 1>and the conflicts are real. We are, you know, every

24
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:43.400
<v Speaker 1>single day, exposed to threats to our freedom and our

25
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.879
<v Speaker 1>way of life. And many parts of the world may

26
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:51.439
<v Speaker 1>not necessarily like the way we are free here, but

27
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:54.439
<v Speaker 1>keep in mind that we cannot take this freedom for granted.

28
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:57.040
<v Speaker 1>And people lost their lives. And it's a day to

29
00:01:57.280 --> 00:01:59.640
<v Speaker 1>fly the flag or a weekend to fly the flag

30
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:06.319
<v Speaker 1>and be mindful of everybody that fought to save our country.

31
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:10.719
<v Speaker 1>So to get some basic business out of the way,

32

00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:23.199

<v Speaker 1>the country to thousands of people. And again the newsletter

39
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:44.199
<v Speaker 1>is a mechanism. It's a tool to share health and wellness, nutrition, food, exercise,

42
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:55.800
<v Speaker 1>dialogue and for those that are interested in their own

43
00:02:55.879 --> 00:03:00.639

46
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:17.360
<v Speaker 1>and you need to make some personal choices, personal decisions.

47
00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Our newsletter every week tries to share with you some

48
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:27.000

<v Speaker 1>for the newsletter's right there, and of course all of

51
00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:38.680
<v Speaker 1>our social media Facebook, Instagram, the YouTube page has a

52
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:44.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of information and our practice website Liver Specialists of Texas,

53
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:46.639
<v Speaker 1>so when we're out on the radio, as many of

54
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:48.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, we take care of patients with liver disease

55
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:53.240
<v Speaker 1>digestive disorders. That website is Texas Liver dot com. But

56
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:56.080
<v Speaker 1>again you don't have to remember all this, it's all

57
00:03:56.159 --> 00:04:01.080
<v Speaker 1>on the doctor Joe Galotti web page. All right. So

58
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:06.080
<v Speaker 1>this is one of those weeks where it's a little

59
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:10.039
<v Speaker 1>laid back, just getting back into the groove with regular

60
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:12.680
<v Speaker 1>programming for the rest of the summer. But I do

61
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:17.079
<v Speaker 1>want to tell you, as many of you know, photography

62
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.879
<v Speaker 1>has been a passion of mine and interest of mine

63
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:24.319
<v Speaker 1>since I was a young child, and I tell people

64
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:30.399
<v Speaker 1>that it was second grade. I was in second grade

65
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:35.639
<v Speaker 1>and I actually won a camera, and that really got

66
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:40.759
<v Speaker 1>me started in being interested in photography. And it helped

67
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.639
<v Speaker 1>an awful lot that my uncle, one of my uncles,

68
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Uncle Larry, was a professional photographer in New York City,

69
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:53.439
<v Speaker 1>and so I was always around photographic equipment, flash bulbs,

70
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:55.920
<v Speaker 1>all of the batteries and the chords and all of

71
00:04:55.959 --> 00:05:00.439
<v Speaker 1>the gadgets, as we say. And when when I was

72
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.480
<v Speaker 1>a kid growing up, if we had a birthday party,

73
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:04.759
<v Speaker 1>it was fourth of July, it was a Memorial Day weekend,

74
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Uncle Larry would be over the house with one of

75
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:10.759
<v Speaker 1>his cameras. Maybe it was a rolla flex, maybe it

76
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:16.240
<v Speaker 1>was a the Press, one of his press cameras, those

77
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.959
<v Speaker 1>big things that you'd see in the old movies, and

78
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:22.879
<v Speaker 1>he would be taking pictures. Right, everybody takes pictures at

79
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:25.839
<v Speaker 1>a barbecue, birthday party, whatever it may be. But the

80
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:31.480
<v Speaker 1>difference was the next day or two days later, we'd

81
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:34.560
<v Speaker 1>have twenty five eight by ten black and white glossies

82
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:37.759
<v Speaker 1>on our kitchen table of your birthday party, or of

83
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:40.120
<v Speaker 1>fourth of July, or of Labor Day, whatever it was.

84
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:45.600
<v Speaker 1>And so at an early age, I was really fascinated

85
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:51.920
<v Speaker 1>more I would say enthralled by these beautiful black and

86
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:57.920
<v Speaker 1>white eight by ten glosses that were on our kitchen

87
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:01.759
<v Speaker 1>table and looking at the detail, the expressions, and so

88
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.560
<v Speaker 1>I just became really hooked on photography. But anyway, the

89
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:08.199
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to go on a safari, now, I would not

90
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:12.360
<v Speaker 1>say I have done a lot of photography work in

91
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.079
<v Speaker 1>the wildlife space. I've done a lot of landscape and

92
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:21.079
<v Speaker 1>travel photography in portrait work, but wildlife is a whole

93
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:25.759
<v Speaker 1>different can of can of worms. And so in Tanzania,

94
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:31.439
<v Speaker 1>we were being guided by a professional, very well known

95
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:35.399
<v Speaker 1>wildlife photographer's name was Greg Dutoit, and it was a

96
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:38.519
<v Speaker 1>real honor to be with him, for him to really

97
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:42.759
<v Speaker 1>show how to move around these animals, to get the

98
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:45.040
<v Speaker 1>right light, right time of the day, the right setting

99
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.759
<v Speaker 1>on the camera was really marvelous. So in the weeks

100
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:51.040
<v Speaker 1>to come, I will be sharing with you some of

101
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:56.560
<v Speaker 1>the wildlife photography. But really traveling to Tanzania, it was

102
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:59.759
<v Speaker 1>the first time I was really on the African continent.

103
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:03.959
<v Speaker 1>And first of all, it's beautiful. That part of the

104
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:10.000
<v Speaker 1>world is just amazing. The wildlife we spent probably more

105
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:15.279
<v Speaker 1>time in the Serengetti, which is just open grasslands and

106
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:20.639
<v Speaker 1>plains and just marvelous. And the amount of animals, millions

107
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:26.439
<v Speaker 1>of wilderbeast on the famous migration that takes place this

108
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:30.319
<v Speaker 1>time of the year. To witness that is absolutely unbelievable,

109
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:36.680
<v Speaker 1>very humbling to look back and say, where do I

110
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:41.879
<v Speaker 1>fit in in the grand scheme of the world of humanity? Uh,

111
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:45.040
<v Speaker 1>and you realize that we are all quite small in

112
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:49.759
<v Speaker 1>that regard. But it was absolutely beautiful. The people in

113
00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Tanzania were absolutely marvelous. They are kind, very much service

114
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:04.319
<v Speaker 1>oriented to want to in those that were serving food

115
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:09.680
<v Speaker 1>or helping us out. They wanted to go above and beyond.

116
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:12.240
<v Speaker 1>If you wanted more food, they would get it for you.

117
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:15.199
<v Speaker 1>They wanted to please you, and so it made for

118
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:22.639
<v Speaker 1>an absolutely marvelous experience. The natural wonders absolutely mind blowing,

119
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:28.360
<v Speaker 1>the people terrific. The camaraderie working with everybody was just

120
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:32.480
<v Speaker 1>really fantastic. And so I wrote this in the newsletter

121
00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:38.840
<v Speaker 1>that came out yesterday on Saturday, that getting away off

122
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:42.679
<v Speaker 1>the grid. And I'll tell you I was off the grid.

123
00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:47.240
<v Speaker 1>I was five hours from nowhere, in the middle of

124
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:51.679
<v Speaker 1>the Serengeti. But you have to get away. So for

125
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:56.440
<v Speaker 1>all of you tonight, you may be planning summer vacations,

126
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:02.799
<v Speaker 1>make sure in your time away, whether you're going down

127
00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:04.960
<v Speaker 1>the road, you're staying at home in your backyard with

128
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.480
<v Speaker 1>your pool and your kids, you're going to grandma's house,

129
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:12.240
<v Speaker 1>or you're taking a trip somewhere interstate or out of

130
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:17.159
<v Speaker 1>the country, make sure you find a little bit of

131
00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:22.480
<v Speaker 1>time carved out to relax and recharge the batteries. You

132
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:29.240
<v Speaker 1>have to. We are bombarded by social media, phones, ringing, beeping, buzzing,

133
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:33.519
<v Speaker 1>which will eventually drive us crazy, and we just need

134
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:37.840
<v Speaker 1>to get in your own head and relax. The health

135
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:42.600
<v Speaker 1>implication is something that you cannot dispute. There has been

136
00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:45.480
<v Speaker 1>research over the past fifty years about the mind body

137
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.759
<v Speaker 1>connection and the negative impact of stress, and so do

138
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:52.559
<v Speaker 1>take that time, even if it's just one week or

139
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:56.200
<v Speaker 1>a few days off, depending on your schedule and lifestyle

140
00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:01.279
<v Speaker 1>and your cans and cannots, make sure you try really

141
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:04.039
<v Speaker 1>to get away and relax. All right, We're going to

142
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:08.159
<v Speaker 1>take a quick break. Doctor Joeglotti dot com is our website.

00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:26.159
<v Speaker 1>might be good, it might be bad. Stay tuned, but

<v Speaker 1>I'll be right back. Yes, indeed, we are family. You

151
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:42.639
<v Speaker 1>what I'd like to think is the best health and

152
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:48.919
<v Speaker 1>wellness information. It is properly filtered. There is no slick

153
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:52.120
<v Speaker 1>sales talk here. We're not giving away anything. We're not

154
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:58.759
<v Speaker 1>selling anything other than unadulterated good health and wellness information.

155
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:01.519
<v Speaker 1>That is what you get from your health first. We

156
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:06.399
<v Speaker 1>want you to put your health first so many times,

157
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:10.399
<v Speaker 1>and I say this, and I would believe if you

158
00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:15.440
<v Speaker 1>walk away with anything anything from this program, whether you're

159
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:19.639
<v Speaker 1>listening for two minutes or ten years. By the way,

160
00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:23.240
<v Speaker 1>we've been on the air for twenty one years, it

161
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:27.039
<v Speaker 1>is that the majority we're talking better than eighty percent,

162
00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:31.879
<v Speaker 1>eighty five percent of all the chronic disease. And so

163
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:35.240
<v Speaker 1>look around at yourself, look around at your friends, your family,

164
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:48.960
<v Speaker 1>your parents, coworkers, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, cirrhosis, kidney disease, depression, arthritis,

165
00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:54.600
<v Speaker 1>mental health. These are all chronic diseases that we have

166
00:11:54.679 --> 00:12:00.519
<v Speaker 1>control over and can be prevented with a lifestyle midification.

167
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:04.639
<v Speaker 1>You're drinking too much alcohol, you're eating too much drive through,

168
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:08.960
<v Speaker 1>You're not getting enough sleep, you're not exercising, you're eating

169
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:11.759
<v Speaker 1>processed foods, you're eating too many carbs, you're not eating

170
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:18.440
<v Speaker 1>fruits and vegetables. Okay, so these are the things that

171
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:21.559
<v Speaker 1>you have to take personal inventory on, and really, at

172
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:24.159
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day, it is personal responsibility. This

173
00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:28.039
<v Speaker 1>is nobody is going to jump through the radio or

174
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.799
<v Speaker 1>the TV and tell you how to do it, or

175
00:12:32.240 --> 00:12:35.519
<v Speaker 1>or make you prisoner. You have to do it yourself.

176
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:37.919
<v Speaker 1>And really the alternative is you have to look at

177
00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:41.919
<v Speaker 1>this and say, misery is optional. Do I want to

178
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:47.600
<v Speaker 1>be on a fistful of medications? Do I want to

179
00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:51.200
<v Speaker 1>spend the majority of my time on the phone with doctors,

180
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:54.440
<v Speaker 1>going to doctor's office visits, going for lab work, going

181
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:59.360
<v Speaker 1>for scans. The answer is no, you don't want to

182
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:03.039
<v Speaker 1>do this, But unfortunately we fall victim to all this.

183
00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:06.440
<v Speaker 1>All right, So in that regard, what I want to

184
00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:08.000
<v Speaker 1>do in the last few minutes here before we take

185
00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:11.679
<v Speaker 1>a break from the news, traffic, and weather, is colon cancer. Now,

186
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:14.639
<v Speaker 1>colon cancer is one of the leading cancers. It is

187
00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:17.480
<v Speaker 1>the leading cause of cancer. A lot of people don't

188
00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:23.879
<v Speaker 1>realize it. And so with that in fact, keep in

189
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:29.759
<v Speaker 1>mind that colon cancer is one of the true preventable cancers,

190
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:35.759
<v Speaker 1>preventable cancers that we all face. The average risk person

191
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:39.320
<v Speaker 1>should start getting screened for colon cancer at age forty

192
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:41.879
<v Speaker 1>five years old. Even if you feel well, you have

193
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:45.000
<v Speaker 1>normal bowel movements, you don't have any pain, you don't

194
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:47.399
<v Speaker 1>see blood in your stool, you need to get screened

195
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:51.799
<v Speaker 1>at age forty five, typically with a colonoscopy. Now, there

196
00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:54.600
<v Speaker 1>is a new blood test that has hit the news.

197
00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:59.279
<v Speaker 1>It's made by Guardan Health and it is a blood test.

198
00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Now for them those of you that don't want to

199
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:04.519
<v Speaker 1>deal with a colonoscopy, taking the ballot prep and all

200
00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:07.960
<v Speaker 1>that other stuff, this may be an option for you

201
00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:12.279
<v Speaker 1>because a third of American adults are not getting screened

202
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:16.240
<v Speaker 1>in any which way. So we somehow have to address this.

203
00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:21.639
<v Speaker 1>The Guardant blood test can screen for colon cancer. Now

204
00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:23.919
<v Speaker 1>you may say, well, that's a good thing. Well, it

205
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:26.519
<v Speaker 1>is good, and some of the people that were on

206
00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:29.600
<v Speaker 1>the FDA board said it's better than nothing, and I

207
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:32.480
<v Speaker 1>would agree with it. But it is not going to

208
00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:38.120
<v Speaker 1>identify polyps. Polyps are non cancerous, but they have the

209
00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:42.360
<v Speaker 1>potential to turn to cancer. This blood test is geared

210
00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:46.799
<v Speaker 1>to identify somebody that has early stage cancer. So you're

211
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:54.320
<v Speaker 1>getting screening is to prevent a disease. Here we're using

212
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:59.559
<v Speaker 1>the term screening to identify the early stages of cancer. Again,

213
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.080
<v Speaker 1>not doing anything. This is better than nothing, but keep

214
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:06.039
<v Speaker 1>in mind that this blood test is going to identify

215
00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:10.840
<v Speaker 1>those that have early stage cancer already. Well, that doesn't

216
00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:14.559
<v Speaker 1>sound too too darn good, so it is something. I

217
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:16.480
<v Speaker 1>want you to be aware that this is not a

218
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:20.480
<v Speaker 1>replacement for colonoscopy. This is not a replacement for taking

219
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:23.960
<v Speaker 1>care of yourself, but it will pick up early stage

220
00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:27.559
<v Speaker 1>colon cancer and people that already have it. So again,

221
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:31.639
<v Speaker 1>I'll post information on this on our Facebook page, but

222
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:33.720
<v Speaker 1>you have to go to doctor Joegalotti dot com to

223
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:38.240
<v Speaker 1>get it. And so that's it. Forty five years old,

224
00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:40.600
<v Speaker 1>you need to talk to your doctor about getting screened

225
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:44.279
<v Speaker 1>for colon cancer with a colonoscopy. All right, We're going

226

<v Speaker 1>to take a quick break, doctor Joe Galotti. Don't forget

238
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:38.519
<v Speaker 1>talking about bagels, and actually during the break, I received

239
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:42.120
<v Speaker 1>a text message from somebody saying, do you think you're

240
00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:45.080
<v Speaker 1>being a little rude talking about New Yorkers versus the

241
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:48.320
<v Speaker 1>rest of the world. Well, first of all, I am

242
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:51.279
<v Speaker 1>a native New Yorker. At number two, it is all

243
00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:55.159
<v Speaker 1>done in tongue and cheek. Please please understand that that

244
00:16:56.120 --> 00:17:01.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not disrespectful to anybody, but just a bit of

245
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:05.119
<v Speaker 1>good old fashioned tongue in cheek conversation here regarding the

246
00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:10.079
<v Speaker 1>almighty bagel. All right, so what we started off with

247
00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:14.039
<v Speaker 1>was the better bagel. It's a frozen bagel, I would say,

248
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:17.519
<v Speaker 1>a manufactured frozen bagel that you could get in the

249
00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:21.559
<v Speaker 1>frozen section of your local grocery store. I happen to

250
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:24.480
<v Speaker 1>get mine at Whole Food. And what they're saying is

251
00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:26.759
<v Speaker 1>that this is a better bagel, this is a better

252
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:31.799
<v Speaker 1>food to eat. Now, the small print is it still

253
00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:34.599
<v Speaker 1>has forty grams of carbohydrate. But the way that they

254
00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:37.400
<v Speaker 1>make it look better is by adding fiber. And when

255
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:42.319
<v Speaker 1>you calculate the net carbohydrate, it is the total carbs

256
00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:45.599
<v Speaker 1>minus fiber. And that's what they do here, So they

257
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:51.319
<v Speaker 1>add in a lot of fiber to the product. Now

258
00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:55.200
<v Speaker 1>I have in front of me the nutritional assessment of

259
00:17:55.680 --> 00:18:00.759
<v Speaker 1>the Manhattan Bagel Company in New York City. And just

260
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:05.480
<v Speaker 1>to compare a few things here, Number one, our better bagel,

261
00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:09.640
<v Speaker 1>the frozen bagel is one hundred and sixty calories per bagel.

262
00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:14.759
<v Speaker 1>The Manhattan bagel is three hundred calories. Now what I

263
00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:19.640
<v Speaker 1>would say, I researched this out. Most typical plane New

264
00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:24.759
<v Speaker 1>York City bagels are anywhere between three hundred to three

265
00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:28.559
<v Speaker 1>hundred and twenty calories, So right off the bat, you're

266
00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:33.640
<v Speaker 1>getting less calories, all right, So maybe this is a

267
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:37.640
<v Speaker 1>better bagel if you're just looking at calories. Now, as

268
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:42.720
<v Speaker 1>far as sodium goes, I'm going to jump around sodium.

269
00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:46.839
<v Speaker 1>This better bagel. The frozen bagel is six hundred and

270
00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:52.079
<v Speaker 1>fifty milligrams of sodium. The classic New York Manhattan bagel

271
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:55.839
<v Speaker 1>has six hundred and ten, so it is in the

272
00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:59.720
<v Speaker 1>same ballpark. And I would say most bagels are going

273
00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:02.799
<v Speaker 1>to be on the higher side. A lot of bread

274
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:05.640
<v Speaker 1>products to get you any sort of taste, because you

275
00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:09.960
<v Speaker 1>figure plain white flowers pretty tasteless. The only way it's

276
00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:13.359
<v Speaker 1>going to taste good is by adding salt. Okay, So

277
00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:16.680
<v Speaker 1>keep in mind that you're the bagel in general is

278
00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:20.359
<v Speaker 1>going to be on the higher side of sodium. So

279
00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:23.640
<v Speaker 1>six point fifty in the frozen bagel versus about six

280
00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:28.920
<v Speaker 1>ten on the plain real New York bagel is pretty close.

281
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Now on the carbohydrates, okay, because that's that's one of

282
00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:41.160
<v Speaker 1>the selling points here. The frozen bagel has forty grams

283
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:47.079
<v Speaker 1>of total carbohydrate. The New York bagel has sixty, So

284
00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:53.519
<v Speaker 1>it's it's starting off with more carbohydrates, and the different

285
00:19:54.519 --> 00:20:00.000
<v Speaker 1>varieties of New York Manhattan bagels range in carbohydrates from

286
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:07.359
<v Speaker 1>a low of forty and in this particular diagram, it

287
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:11.039
<v Speaker 1>is the thin bagel, so it's probably just a smaller

288
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:14.000
<v Speaker 1>bagel has about forty grams of carbs, but your typical

289
00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:19.839
<v Speaker 1>New York bagel has anywhere from sixty five to sixty

290
00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:23.039
<v Speaker 1>grams of carbs, so it is the New York bagel

291
00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:27.359
<v Speaker 1>is a little bit higher in carbohydrates. The fiber there

292
00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:31.279
<v Speaker 1>is essentially no fiber in a bagel, two grams of fiber,

293
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:36.079
<v Speaker 1>where the better bagel is giving you thirty five grams

294
00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:39.920
<v Speaker 1>of fiber, but it is being added in by adding

295
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:44.039
<v Speaker 1>a gave fiber, which is probably giving you a little

296
00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:49.640
<v Speaker 1>bit of taste as well. So all in all, just

297
00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:56.079
<v Speaker 1>on the surface, this is a better bagel. Does it

298
00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:59.079
<v Speaker 1>taste better than a New York bagel? Probably not. I

299
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:01.160
<v Speaker 1>could tell you it doesn't. I mean, I've eaten. My

300
00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:05.279
<v Speaker 1>wife thought it was pretty bland and tasteless. But you know,

301
00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:08.079
<v Speaker 1>you have an oral craving to eat something and toast

302
00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:12.880
<v Speaker 1>it now, and you know it's funny. I remember, as

303
00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:18.319
<v Speaker 1>a young resident in New York City that I met

304
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:22.519
<v Speaker 1>a dietitian really really early on in my career, and

305
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:25.480
<v Speaker 1>she was talking to the residents about foods for our

306
00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:29.279
<v Speaker 1>patients and whatnot, and she had said the one food,

307
00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:33.799
<v Speaker 1>and again this is coming from New York City, one

308
00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:36.039
<v Speaker 1>food never to eat or the worst food to eat

309
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:40.319
<v Speaker 1>is a bagel. You could certainly make an argument about

310
00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:42.720
<v Speaker 1>that that there are things worse than a bagel to

311
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:46.880
<v Speaker 1>have in the morning, but keep in mind that you're

312
00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:49.000
<v Speaker 1>going to be getting a lot of carbs, a lot

313
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:55.000
<v Speaker 1>of sodium. Calorie wise, about three hundred not the worst thing. Now,

314
00:21:55.119 --> 00:21:58.759
<v Speaker 1>if you decide that you want to add some sour

315
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:03.200
<v Speaker 1>cream cheese to this, so Philadelphia cream cheese, which is

316
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:06.039
<v Speaker 1>really pretty much the standard cream cheese you're going to

317
00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:12.720
<v Speaker 1>get in New York one serving. According to Philadelphia cream Cheese,

318
00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:16.680
<v Speaker 1>one serving is one ounce. I would say that if

319
00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:19.960
<v Speaker 1>you go anywhere in New York and you get one

320
00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:23.160
<v Speaker 1>ounce of cream cheese, you're going to send it back

321
00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:27.279
<v Speaker 1>and say you're skimping on me. So let's just say

322
00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:31.839
<v Speaker 1>two ounces of cream cheese. Okay, this is full fat,

323
00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:36.559
<v Speaker 1>full fair cream cheese. With two ounces, you're going to

324
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:41.440
<v Speaker 1>get an additional two hundred calories. You're only going to

325
00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:44.559
<v Speaker 1>get another four grams of protein. You're going to get

326
00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:48.599
<v Speaker 1>twenty grams of fat and just a miniscule amount of sugar.

327
00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:52.240
<v Speaker 1>So by adding the cream cheese, you're going to get

328
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:56.799
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fat, two hundred more calories. So maybe

329
00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:01.319
<v Speaker 1>you're already up to If the bagel is three, you're

330
00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:07.640
<v Speaker 1>looking at at least five to six hundred calories for

331
00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:14.160
<v Speaker 1>your breakfast. Okay, now let's put this all in perspective.

332
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:20.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that we should banish the bagel to

333
00:23:20.839 --> 00:23:27.200
<v Speaker 1>food purgatory food. Hell. I would think, like anything in life,

334
00:23:28.119 --> 00:23:33.640
<v Speaker 1>it is moderation. If you are having a cream cheese

335
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:44.599
<v Speaker 1>bagel every single day, slathered up with cream cheese, butter cheese,

336
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:48.119
<v Speaker 1>put two or three eggs on top of it, you're

337
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:52.880
<v Speaker 1>looking for trouble unless you're a marathon runner or you

338
00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:56.640
<v Speaker 1>swim a mile a day. So I think if on

339
00:23:57.200 --> 00:24:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Sunday morning you want a bagel and indulge in a

340
00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:08.880
<v Speaker 1>little sour cream cheese, I think it's okay to do

341
00:24:09.559 --> 00:24:13.319
<v Speaker 1>as long as you are getting enough dietary fiber in

342
00:24:13.359 --> 00:24:18.880
<v Speaker 1>your diet. You're not eating hamburgers all day long. You

343
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:24.079
<v Speaker 1>are not eating two slices of apple pie for dessert

344
00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:28.720
<v Speaker 1>every evening. You're not eating pop tarts for breakfast. I

345
00:24:28.759 --> 00:24:32.799
<v Speaker 1>think you're okay. So yes, Indeed, the better bagel, the

346
00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:39.319
<v Speaker 1>frozen bagel that is claiming a lot of health benefits here,

347
00:24:39.880 --> 00:24:42.759
<v Speaker 1>I think they're legit. You are getting added protein, but

348
00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:50.480
<v Speaker 1>getting it through way protein addit is agave fiber. It

349
00:24:50.559 --> 00:24:57.319
<v Speaker 1>may not be as good as eating an apple, fruit, nuts, beans, etc.

350
00:24:58.160 --> 00:25:02.079
<v Speaker 1>But if you're trying to be a good player in

351
00:25:02.119 --> 00:25:07.200
<v Speaker 1>the nutritional game here, it's probably not bad. Again, a

352
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:10.160
<v Speaker 1>steady diet of the better bagel, you know, if you

353
00:25:10.200 --> 00:25:12.319
<v Speaker 1>have one on a Saturday or a Sunday morning and

354
00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:16.119
<v Speaker 1>you indulge, you're reading the newspaper, you're watching the news

355
00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:18.880
<v Speaker 1>shows on Sunday, go ahead and do it. But I

356
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:22.160
<v Speaker 1>think you have to put this all in perspective that

357
00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:26.279
<v Speaker 1>you're not going to get healthier, You're not going to

358
00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:29.519
<v Speaker 1>not have a heart attack, you are not going to

359
00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:34.359
<v Speaker 1>not develop diabetes because this is the only thing you're doing.

360
00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:38.240
<v Speaker 1>It has to be part of a more comprehensive health

361
00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:43.000
<v Speaker 1>and well in the nutrition exercise plan. All right, So

362
00:25:43.160 --> 00:25:46.799
