This 8 00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:26.839 is doctor Eric Kaplan and you're listening to boost your 9 00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:30.679 brain power? Are you aware that stress is one of 10 00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:35.520 the biggest health threats in today's world. According to the 11 00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:43.000 American Psychological Association, nearly seventy seven percent of people regularly 12 00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:48.560 experience stress related physical symptoms. You know, the most common 13 00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:52.799 reason people call out of work is back pain, But 14 00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:56.679 most of that back pain is caused by stress, and 15 00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:01.359 it could even lead to headaches, fatigue, muscle pain. So 16 00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:05.480 we have to reduce our stress levels so we can 17 00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:09.120 function at a higher level and be more product of 18 00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:13.120 at work, more productive at school, so we have a 19 00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:18.400 higher quality of life. Stress is the silent killer. It 20 00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:23.560 leads to heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and even cancer. 21 00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:27.680 Right people are always looking for the cure for cancer. 22 00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:31.680 They're never going to find the cure for cancer, but 23 00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:35.040 what they will have to find is how to reduce stress. 24 00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:38.159 Because if you could reduce stress, then you prevent it 25 00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:43.959 from ever occurring in the first place. Most people don't 26 00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:48.719 realize it's caused by stress because they focus on just 27 00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:55.719 the treatment, which is usually chemotherapy or radiation. But not 28 00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:58.480 only do you want to cure the cancer, you want 29 00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:03.000 to figure out what caused it. Same thing with stroke 30 00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:09.120 or heart attack. The most common cause is stress. So 31 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:14.000 rather than just taking high blood pressure medication, maybe we 32 00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:19.840 start reducing our stress levels. That's why Monday morning is 33 00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:25.639 the most common time for heart attack or stroke. It's 34 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:30.919 because people are under high stress and it even leads 35 00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:35.120 to Alzheimer's disease. There's so many patients that come to 36 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.439 me with memory problems, and they all say their memory 37 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:45.840 gets worse when they're stressed. Even leads to diabetes. I'm 38 00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:52.520 working with this Japanese pharmaceutical company whose found this vague 39 00:02:52.680 --> 00:03:02.680 nerve stimulator which is reversing diabetes. Now they need to 40 00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:08.759 figure out why this vegas nerve stimulator is working, and 41 00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:11.360 I'm there to help them to figure out, Okay, is 42 00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:14.199 it affecting the vegas nerve, so we do pretests and 43 00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:19.360 post tests, but they're actually looking for a cure. In America, 44 00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.680 they don't want the cure. They want you to have 45 00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:27.319 diabetes so you keep taking their drugs. So some of 46 00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.560 these pharmaceutical companies are evil. They're not looking out for 47 00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:35.800 your health. They're looking to make a profit. So the 48 00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:39.240 advice you're gonna get it's going to keep your diabetes. 49 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:42.360 That's why they have the food pyramid. Why it's full 50 00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:46.159 of grains. Eat a lot of cereal and rice and 51 00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:50.560 potatoes and bread and pasta. There's something like sixteen servings 52 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.000 a day they want you to eat. Come on, that's 53 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:57.479 a recipe for diabetes. And diabetes is one of the 54 00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:04.680 leading causes of Alzheimer's disease. They're all linked. Now, stress 55 00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:10.039 is unavoidable, but it's how you handle the stress, right, 56 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:11.879 So if you can handle the stress better, it's not 57 00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:17.040 going to have a physical manifestation. And have you handle 58 00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:23.439 your stress better, well, maybe you have to exercise, maybe 59 00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:27.120 you have to go to bed earlier, Maybe you have 60 00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:30.920 to get out of a bad relationship. Maybe you have 61 00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:36.759 to leave a bad job, leave a bad living situations, 62 00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:41.920 move out of a stressful city, sometimes you have to 63 00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:45.800 break up with a family member or a loved one. 64 00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:50.839 Maybe you need a vacation right. Maybe you need to 65 00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:56.079 drink more water. Maybe you need to have less negative 66 00:04:56.120 --> 00:05:00.879 people around you. Maybe you need to to work harder 67 00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:04.399 so you could earn a better living so you could 68 00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:09.360 pay for your lifestyle. Maybe need to pray more. Maybe 69 00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:14.279 you need to give more, volunteer more, give to more charities. 70 00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:20.439 Find what's going to reduce your stress levels, because stress 71 00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:25.639 is the silent killer. You know. Stress doesn't just impact 72 00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:30.079 your mood and reads havoc on your body. When you're 73 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:36.120 under stress, your body releases cortisol. That's the stress hormone 74 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:38.959 that's on your adrenal gland, which sits on top of 75 00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:43.040 your kidneys, so it can affect your kidneys. You can 76 00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:49.360 have kidney infections from stress. You could get stomach ulcers 77 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:59.560 from stress. You could get heart attacks from stress. Stress 78 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.839 is the silent killer you don't know it's called. It's 79 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:09.000 by stress. Cortisol when it's stimulated will mess with your sleep. 80 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:12.680 So if you have insomnia or sleep deprivation or fatigue, 81 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.240 it could be because you're in stress mode. Your cortisol 82 00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:18.480 level is too high and you're not getting in the 83 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:24.920 deep sleep, you're not getting in your circadium rhythms. So 84 00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:26.879 you don't want to be at night watching the news 85 00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:33.360 that's gonna increase your cortisol. News is very stressful. You 86 00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:36.680 want to be at night watching you know, with Law 87 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:39.839 and Order Special Victims Unit where they're talking about rapes. 88 00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:44.920 That's not gonna get you a good night's sleep. You 89 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:49.160 don't want to watch, you know, The Walking Dead or 90 00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:52.399 whatever that is where you're about zombies. I think you're 91 00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:53.920 gonna get a good night's sleep if you if you 92 00:06:54.279 --> 00:07:00.720 watch a zombie apocalypse right before bed. You don't want 93 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:08.800 to watch all these murder mysteries right before bed, or 94 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:14.399 World War two documentaries about Hitler killing everybody. Be aware 95 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:17.680 of what you listen to, what you read, what you watch, 96 00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:23.199 because if you are watching or listening to a reading 97 00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:26.439 stressful stuff, that's what you're gonna dream about. That's what 98 00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:30.920 your whole night's gonna be. They need to create more 99 00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:32.959 stress when you're supposed to be in a relaxed state. 100 00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:40.279 Cortisol will miss up your circadium rhythms. What we want 101 00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:42.160 is to have high cortisol in the morning when we 102 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:45.000 wake up and low cortisol at night when we're relaxing 103 00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:49.720 and sleeping. Most people are the opposite. Their cortisol levels 104 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:53.199 are too high at night because that night they're watching TV, 105 00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:57.439 they're checking their cell phone, they're eating, they're snacking, the 106 00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:03.000 lights are on. Level is gonna be high, Anxiety is 107 00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:11.680 gonna be high. If you have caffeine, that's gonna increase it. Coffee, energy, drinks, sodas. 108 00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:17.439 If you have high stress and you increase caffeine in 109 00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:19.879 your system, that's gonna make it worse. You can get 110 00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:26.000 more cortisol, more adrenal activation. So you gotta stay away 111 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:34.080 from stimulants. So caffeine's a stimulant. Sugars are stimulant. Artificial flavors, preservatives, 112 00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:40.399 those are all stimulants, bread as stimulants, pasta, all those 113 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:43.639 starchy carbs. Stay away from them. If you're trying to 114 00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:49.960 reduce stress and anxiety, the more cortisol and more stress 115 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:55.399 you have, the more inflammation, and when you have inflammation, 116 00:08:55.559 --> 00:09:01.320 that could literally shorten your lifespan. Inflammation is the most 117 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:06.399 common factor of all diseases, whether it's heart disease, cancer, diabetes, 118 00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:11.120 Alzheimer's on immune disease. I don't care what it is. 119 00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:18.799 It's all inflammation. There's two natural products which reduce inflammation. 120 00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:22.960 The best one is risi vertrol that's in Japanese, not 121 00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:29.279 weed and the skin of red grapes. Then you can 122 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:37.799 also get tumeric that's also a natural anti inflammatory. It's 123 00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:45.159 got curcumen what's going to bring down inflammation. So those 124 00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:50.720 are the best natural anti inflammatories. Also omega threes like 125 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.360 fatty fish oils. If you have fish, make sure they're 126 00:09:54.519 --> 00:10:03.039 small fish such as sardines, salmon, mackerel, herring. And if 127 00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:06.759 you do have fish, make sure it's from the Atlantic, Norwegian, 128 00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:13.840 Icelandic Mediterranean. Don't get fish from the Pacific. The Pacific 129 00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:19.559 Ocean has nuclear radiation from Japan for over a dozen years. 130 00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:24.320 The whole ocean is radiated. Make sure when you get fish, 131 00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:29.799 get wildfish, not farmed raised. The bigger the fish, the 132 00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:34.279 more mercury. We don't want mercury. There's mercury in your 133 00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:37.360 dental fillings. You gotta be careful of mercury and the fish. 134 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:41.919 The old thermometers have mercury. Mercury will cause more inflammation. 135 00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:47.080 Aluminum causes inflammation, so don't use aluminum foil. Use the 136 00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:54.759 parchment paper, don't use aluminum pans, use stainless steel, use 137 00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:00.720 glass to store things in. Don't use plastic either. Those 138 00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:06.799 are endocrine disruptors, all right. So we don't want to 139 00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:15.080 have more inflammation by increasing cortisol, increasing heavy metals, increasing stress. 140 00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:21.039 All right. So we want to make sure we decrease stress. 141 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:26.320 And that might be being social, hanging out with some friends, 142 00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:32.360 playing some sports, working out, going on vacation, reading a 143 00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:35.200 good book, listening to some music, going for a walk, 144 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:39.879 getting some sunlight, going and breathing some oxygen, getting a dog. 145 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:46.399 There's so many ways to reduce stress. You can meditate, 146 00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:53.240 practice mindfulness, do yoga, pilates, go to a concert, take 147 00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:57.320 a class, an art class, a sculpting class, learn how 148 00:11:57.320 --> 00:12:02.559 to cook. So many ways to reduce your stress, bring 149 00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:09.399 down cortisol, and improve the function of your body so 150 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:15.240 that you perform at the highest levels.

There are four major stresses in today's world. 172 00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:53.840 The first stress is physical stress that includes sitting at 173 00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:57.919 a desk all day. You know Most people sit all day. 174 00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:00.799 They wake up, they sit at the breakfast table, eat 175 00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.080 their breakfast. Then they sit at the car or on 176 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.320 the bus on their way to work. Then they sit 177 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:08.559 at the computer all day of work. Then they sit 178 00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:10.519 at the lunch table. Then they sit more at work 179 00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:12.720 at the computer. Then they come home and sit at 180 00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:15.440 the dinner table. Then they go sit and the couch 181 00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:18.519 and watch Netflix. It's like sitting all day. And then 182 00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:20.919 the weekend comes and then they sit at the bar, 183 00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:23.919 they sit at the restaurant, they sit at the movie theater, 184 00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:28.360 they sit at the play. Everything's sitting. Even the social 185 00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:32.759 events are sitting. Start choosing activities that get you off 186 00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:37.759 your butt. Maybe a sport, Maybe take a dance class, 187 00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:44.039 Maybe take some martial art class, maybe even learning a 188 00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:48.840 musical instrument. Right, you can move your body. Try and 189 00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:51.720 find stuff where you're moving your body. Take a tai 190 00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:57.840 chi class. Doesn't have to be strenuous, but move your body. 191 00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:03.279 Move it or you'll lose it. Sitting is the new smoking. 192 00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:06.279 So you got to get off your butt and move 193 00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:09.039 your body. Find some activity that you like to do 194 00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:13.039 if you want to reduce your stress, if you don't 195 00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:19.480 mind being stressed out, low energy, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, 196 00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:24.440 Alzheimer's cancer. If you don't mind that, then sit all day. 197 00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:28.080 But if you want to prevent that, then you gotta 198 00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:30.480 get off your butt. An ounce of prevention is worth 199 00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:35.320 a pound of cure. So start finding something that gets 200 00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:38.159 you active, maybe even with a person that holds you 201 00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:42.840 accountable so that you could be workout partners. But you 202 00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:47.679 gotta do something to move your body right. Sitting is 203 00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:53.120 the worst, so follow the twenty rule. The twenty rule 204 00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:56.600 is every twenty minutes, you get up for twenty seconds 205 00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:00.360 and move your body. You could just take twenty steps, 206 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:03.480 you could do twenty jumping jacks, twenty push ups, twenty 207 00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:07.080 sit ups, twenty squats, twenty lunges. I don't care what 208 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:10.360 it is, but move your body for twenty seconds, and 209 00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:12.240 then you could go back to work or school or 210 00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:15.480 studies or whatever you're doing. But you got to set 211 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:17.600 an alarm because you're not gonna remember to get up 212 00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:22.039 every twenty minutes, all right, So make sure that you 213 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:27.600 get up every twenty minutes. That's the twenty rule. And 214 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:31.679 for your eyes, look twenty feet away. You know, if 215 00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:34.759 we're always looking at the screens, that's not gonna be good. 216 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:39.000 So look far away, look out the window, look at 217 00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:43.039 the trees, look at the buildings, look at the skyline, 218 00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:49.200 look at something far away. To exercise your eyes. All right, 219 00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:53.960 So that's the first major stressure, is physical stress. So 220 00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:57.240 less sitting at the desk. The twenty rule. Work on 221 00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:00.960 your posture. Almost everyone's souch is forward, doing shoulder rolls. 222 00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:05.680 Start looking up and rolling your shoulders back. Even just 223 00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:07.920 doing sitting to standing where you just stand up, look 224 00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:10.160 up and reach up, and sit down and stand up, 225 00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:13.279 look up and reach up. We're always looking down. That's 226 00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:16.359 not good for our posture. Start looking up. Look up 227 00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:19.039 into the sky, up into the heavens, Look up into 228 00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:22.400 the sun, up into the moon, up into the clouds. 229 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:26.640 Look up, look at the birds chirping. Look at the 230 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:30.400 top of the trees, look at the top of the buildings. 231 00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:35.720 It's beautiful up there. A lot of times it's more 232 00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:40.279 beautiful up than it is down. So look at that 233 00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:43.880 beautiful world, that universe up in the sky. Look at 234 00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:50.039 the stars, look at the meteors and the asteroids and 235 00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:54.160 the shooting stars, and the planet. You can see the 236 00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:56.759 you can literally see Mars. It looks red out there. 237 00:17:57.480 --> 00:17:59.960 Venus is really bright. You could literally see the plan, 238 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:04.640 but you gotta look up. And that's good for your 239 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:07.359 physical stress. That's good for your posture. You want to 240 00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:09.039 become one of those old ladies or old men that 241 00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:13.680 are all hunched over, you don't know, to build arthritis 242 00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:18.160 and degenerate. And it's good for your mood. What if 243 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:21.359 someone who's depressed and said they're always looking down bad posture. 244 00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:29.480 Someone who has high energy, someone who's happy, their chins up, 245 00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:35.920 they better posture. Work on your physical stress is no. 246 00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:40.200 Don't do repetitive stress. So if you always use the 247 00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:42.119 mouse with your right hand, use the mouse with your 248 00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:45.920 left hand. I don't care what your job is or 249 00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:48.160 whatever you do. If you always wear your bag on 250 00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:51.480 the right shoulder, wear it on the left shoulder. If 251 00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:53.160 you brush your teeth with your right hand, brush your 252 00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:58.839 teeth with your left hand. Start switching it up. Don't 253 00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:03.039 do repetitive movements over and over and over again. If 254 00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:04.920 you always stand on the right, stand on the left, 255 00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:11.119 switch it up. You always sleep on the right side, 256 00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:16.440 try to sleep on the left side. The monitors usually 257 00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:19.079 to the right. Now put it to the left, switch 258 00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:23.400 it up. Keep things balanced from right to left. Don't 259 00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:26.960 always do things on one side that creates more physical stress. 260 00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:32.200 Those are imbalances, Those are disconnect The second major stress 261 00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:39.319 in today's world is emotional stress that can come from work, relationship, finances, 262 00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:44.359 and now social media. People get so stressed because they 263 00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:46.960 look at social media and they see, Oh, everyone's so 264 00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:49.720 rich and they're traveling to these great places, and they 265 00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:54.960 look so good and their lives so happy, and everything's perfect, perfect, perfect. 266 00:19:54.960 --> 00:20:00.920 Those are all lies. Everyone just puts out the best 267 00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:05.440 part of their lives, and then everyone else thinks that 268 00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:09.240 that's their lives, and then they feel like they're too poor, 269 00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:12.960 or they don't have enough friends, or they're not as beautiful. 270 00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:19.359 So it makes everyone else look bad. So we got 271 00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:24.880 to unplug from social media because it creates more emotional stress. 272 00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:29.440 And then if you put something on social media and 273 00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:32.400 you don't get a like or a comment, you get depressed. 274 00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:37.039 When you do get a like right away, it releases dopamine. 275 00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:40.160 It's like a drug. Social media is the new drug. 276 00:20:41.160 --> 00:20:45.440 It's like taking a line of cocaine, Like, Oh, I 277 00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:48.160 need those likes, I need those comments, I need those friends, 278 00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:55.160 I need those views. Could create a lot of emotional 279 00:20:55.240 --> 00:21:00.920 stress and start having some good relationships. You are who 280 00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:04.480 you hang out with. If you're around a negative person, 281 00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:10.759 you're gonna become negative. Get negative people out of your lives, 282 00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:14.599 and they When you hang out with a negative person, 283 00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:17.400 they'll make you negative. They'll make everyone around them negative. 284 00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:21.920 Whoever you hang out with, that's who you'll be. If 285 00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:26.160 you hang out with negative people, you'll be negative. If 286 00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:30.960 you hang out with unhealthy people, you'll be unhealthy. If 287 00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:36.440 you hang out with poor people, you'll be poor. If 288 00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:41.519 you hang out with sad people, you'll be sad. But 289 00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:45.720 do the opposite. If you hang out with happy people, 290 00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:49.240 you'll be happier. If you hang out with rich people, 291 00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:52.359 you'll be richer. If you hang out with positive people, 292 00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:56.799 you'll be more positive. If you hang out with healthy people, 293 00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:01.720 you will improve your health. So start hanging out with 294 00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:07.240 people that you aim to be. You know, one of 295 00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:09.799 my mentors always said, you know, if you're the smartest 296 00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:11.960 one in the room, you better find a new room. 297 00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:16.240 So if you want to learn, then you be the 298 00:22:16.359 --> 00:22:19.319 dumbest person in the room and you be around smart people. 299 00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:21.680 You don't want to be the smartest person in the room. 300 00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:23.480 You want to be the dumbest person in the room 301 00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:28.440 so you can learn from everybody around you. You don't 302 00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:29.920 want to be the richest person in the room. You 303 00:22:29.960 --> 00:22:31.920 want to be the poorest person in the room so 304 00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:37.359 you can learn from the rich people around you. You 305 00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:40.039 want to be more spiritual. Hang out with people who 306 00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:46.759 go to church every week. It's not rocket science. You're 307 00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:51.079 going to learn from those around you. You want to 308 00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:54.279 give to more charity, Start hanging out with people that volunteer, 309 00:22:55.880 --> 00:22:59.279 and then you'll start doing more charity. You are who 310 00:22:59.279 --> 00:23:02.559 you hang around with. If you run negative people, you 311 00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:07.920 get negative emotions. Negative emotions triggle trigger physical symptoms such 312 00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:14.839 as headaches, trouble sleeping, even high blood pressure just from negativity. 313 00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:20.640 So that's the emotional stress. The third stress is the 314 00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:24.920 electromagnetic radiation. We get so much radiation from the computers, 315 00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:29.039 these smart devices, our cell phones. Start to unplug, turn 316 00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:32.160 off Wi Fi in your house, use the Ethernet cable, 317 00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:36.400 turn off five G on your cell phone, put everything 318 00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:41.559 on airplane mode. We don't need all this radiation. I 319 00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:43.480 didn't notice the difference once they put up all these 320 00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:46.240 five G towels. It's not like, oh, the Internet's so fast, 321 00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:51.440 doesn't make any sense. We don't need all this fast internet. 322 00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:56.160 Everything's fine a three G. So turn everything off. Turn 323 00:23:56.200 --> 00:24:00.960 off your cell phone, unplug your devices. Don't use all 324 00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:06.680 these bluetooth, don't use these earbuds. Reduce your radiation. Reduce 325 00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:08.200 the X rays. You don't have to get an X 326 00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:11.480 ray every time you go to the dentist. You don't 327 00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:14.519 need to take all these pet scans and cat scans 328 00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:19.279 at the hospitals. You don't need all these mammograms and ultrasounds. 329 00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:25.839 There's all radiation. Reduce your electromagnetic radiation stress. And the 330 00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:33.119 last stress is biochemical stress that's caused by processed foods, pesticide, 331 00:24:33.160 --> 00:24:39.559 heavy metals, toxins, and beauty and cleaning products, so many chemicals, 332 00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:47.880 all the plastics. The worst is suntime lotion, so worst chemicals. 333 00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:52.319 Everyone's so scared of the sun. The sun is great. 334 00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:55.640 It gives us vitamin D, helps our thyroid, our immune system, 335 00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:59.319 helps our mood, our brain, our memory. So I'm gonna 336 00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:03.759 block the sun. No, take off the sunglasses, stop wearing 337 00:25:03.799 --> 00:25:06.400 suntan lotion. You know, unless you have a history of 338 00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:09.119 skin cancer, that's different. That's between you and your doctor. 339 00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:13.440 But for most people We need sun exposure. We need 340 00:25:13.559 --> 00:25:17.839 vitamin D and the sun needs to hit your eyes. 341 00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:21.200 So if you're wearing contacts or glasses or sunglasses, you're 342 00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:24.400 blocking the light. If you're inside, you're not getting the sun. 343 00:25:24.440 --> 00:25:26.880 It needs to enter that black pupil in the middle 344 00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:29.880 of your eye. That's a hole, but the sun needs 345 00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:32.799 to go in there to get your optimal vitamin D. 346 00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:36.000 So go outside, roll up your pant legs, roll up 347 00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:38.880 your sleeves, take off your glasses, take off your hat. 348 00:25:39.079 --> 00:25:42.799 Expose yourself to some sunlight when it's most strong between 349 00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:45.279 twelve and two even if it's just twenty minutes a day, 350 00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:50.200 to increase your vitamin D so you function better, feel better, 351 00:25:50.400 --> 00:25:54.279 and live a better life.
