We need every 10 00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:38.759 kid to be healthy. It's scary how unhealthy our kids are. 11 00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:47.159 They have anxiety, depression, panic disorders. They have obesity, diabetes, 12 00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:53.200 kids have diabetes. Supposed to be adults that get this stuff. 13 00:00:53.520 --> 00:01:00.280 Kids are having heart problems. Kids aren't resilient anymore. We 14 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:05.319 need to increase their brain function. We gotta do it. 15 00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:10.359 We owe it to the next generation, all right, And 16 00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:14.719 it all starts from the diet. We gotta go back 17 00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:23.719 to home cooked meals, no preservatives, no seed oils, no sugar, 18 00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:32.439 artificial flavors, no gluten or dairy. We gotta go back 19 00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:38.920 to eat our fruits and veggies and eating fresh eggs 20 00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:45.280 and fresh chicken, and you know newly wild fish. Just 21 00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:51.079 eat real food. From the earth, next plane gonna get where. 22 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:54.560 That's sitentary lifestyle. You use it or you lose it. 23 00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:59.120 The more the kids sit at home, sit at watching TV, 24 00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:01.799 sit playing video game, sit on their cell phone, sit 25 00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:07.480 on TikTok and Facebook and Instagram, all the activities are 26 00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:13.439 sitting or sitting at the computer all day long. You know, 27 00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:16.120 my kids, they're always outside. We literally have an old 28 00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:19.000 school neighborhood where you know, all the kids just run 29 00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:21.639 to each other's backyards and they play in each yard 30 00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:24.719 and they go and they play outside basketball and football 31 00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:27.599 and soccer, and they ride bikes and they giggle and 32 00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:31.400 they get dirty. They're in the mud. We don't need 33 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.919 all these plans, you know. It's good to be active. 34 00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:37.639 It's good to have you know. My kids. Yes, they're 35 00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:41.319 in the boy Scouts and they play soccer and basketball 36 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:44.000 in there and track and you know they take the 37 00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.479 drums and the piano and musical instruments and so, yes, 38 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:53.080 they have activities. But we let them be kids, you know, 39 00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:58.960 we let them use their imagination. Gotta unplug. It's scary 40 00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:05.560 how ittive the devices are. You know, they have that 41 00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.439 program wait till eight like meaning like don't give your 42 00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:14.000 kid a phone till eighth grade. Their brains are developing, 43 00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:16.159 and you don't want them addicted. It's like a drug. 44 00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:20.000 It releases the same chemicals you get that dopamine hit. 45 00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:26.439 So the cell phones are like drinking. They're like cocaine 46 00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:33.960 and heroine and all these drugs. Same thing, and maybe 47 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:38.599 even worse because they have access to a twenty four 48 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:44.800 to seven all the time. You gotta put a limit, 49 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:49.840 you know, we put like a my son's in eighth grade. 50 00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:54.680 He's got a cell phone, but we put a limit 51 00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:57.879 where he gets thirty minutes a day, you know, whatever 52 00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:01.199 he wants to do, some text messages and you know, 53 00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:04.400 you know, whatever he wants if he wants to watch 54 00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:06.800 a video or something like that. So he's got a 55 00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:14.000 half hour. But then that's it. You gotta end it. 56 00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:18.000 Gotta be responsible to gonna be okay not having the phone. 57 00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:20.639 Gotta be able to use your imagination, use your brain. 58 00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:27.879 And adults are addicted to these phones too. Unplug'll just 59 00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:31.319 say hey today from I don't care what it is, 60 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:35.839 four pm to eight pm, no phone, not gonna use it. 61 00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:40.920 You gotta be committed to that, to unplugging and don't 62 00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:45.279 have any electronics in your bedroom. No TV, no radio, 63 00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:52.000 no computer, no iPad, no cell phone, no Wi Fi, 64 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:58.920 no five G get rid of it. Don't have anything 65 00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:08.079 plugged in your whole bedroom, nothing plugged in. Now the 66 00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:10.439 only thing people say, oh, I need an alarm clock. 67 00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:13.480 That's so bad. I get it. You need an alarm clock. 68 00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:15.839 You could use your cell phone as an alarm clock, 69 00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.639 but have it charge you're ready, so it's not plugged 70 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:25.600 in all night. Put it at the furthest corner from you, 71 00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:30.160 and that way when you uh the arm goes off. 72 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:31.720 Now you have to get out of bed to turn 73 00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:35.759 it off anyway, So that's the way. If you need 74 00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:37.399 to use your cell phone as an alarm clock, but 75 00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:41.079 don't have it next to you on the nightstand, don't 76 00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:43.360 have anything near you and don't have anything plugged in. 77 00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:50.120 No TV, no radio, no computer, no iPad, nothing plugged in. 78 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.160 And also don't have anything plugged in on the wall. 79 00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:57.560 Let if your head is against the wall, but you 80 00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.439 have nothing in uh plugged in your room, but again 81 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:04.560 on the other side of the wall, it is some appliance, refrigerator, microwave, 82 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:11.160 who knows flat screen TV something. Then you're goinging to 83 00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:15.240 create the same function as if you had something plugged 84 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:17.519 in your room, because it's right on the wall. It's 85 00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:21.120 literally right next to your head all night. I had 86 00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:25.800 a patient with severe insomnia, headaches, anxiety, lived in the city, 87 00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:31.560 and I had her change her bed to the other wall, 88 00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:35.000 and that other wall was facing the outside, so there 89 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:39.040 was nothing else the wall that her bed was facing. 90 00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:44.519 Originally there was another apartment on the other side, and 91 00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:48.439 that apartment is where the kitchen was, so she had 92 00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:53.120 like a refrigerator or a microwave oven all next to 93 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:59.120 her head all night long. Scary, I might not even 94 00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:04.240 realize that. So you gotta unplug. Gotta limit our radiation, 95 00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:11.560 limit the video games for the kids. Limit the YouTube videos. Limit, 96 00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:16.000 the television limit, the cell phone limit, the iPad, limit 97 00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:22.000 the laptop. They need limitations, all right, they have to 98 00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:26.920 use it for school, fine, But then they need limitations. 99 00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:30.560 You know, use TV as a reward. Oh, you did 100 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:33.959 all your chores, you did your homework, the good grades, 101 00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:36.680 you scored a goal in the soccer game, whatever you 102 00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:38.680 want to do. Then you say, okay, you get to 103 00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:40.600 watch a half hour show today. What do you want 104 00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:45.800 to watch? And hopefully you guys watch something funny, like 105 00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:51.079 you know, full House or something, not some zombie apocalypse, 106 00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:54.680 not some SVU where little kids are getting raped. Not 107 00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:58.600 the news where there's fires and racism and political corruption 108 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:04.560 and inflation and wars. You know, don't watch all this 109 00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:09.439 stressful stuff. Something to make you laugh, something lighthearted, something 110 00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:14.759 fun right, So don't soak in all this bad knowledge. 111 00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:19.279 Don't soak in all these dramas, traumas, all this crime, 112 00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:24.319 all these disasters. I don't watch the news. I don't 113 00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:26.879 want to know that stuff. It's gonna make my brain 114 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:32.120 stressed out. I don't want to know. I want to 115 00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:34.360 know good things. I wanted to go happy things. I 116 00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:37.919 wanna know funny things, joyful things. Those are the type 117 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:39.759 of people I want to be around. I don't want 118 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:44.039 friends who are complaining, who were negative, always got something 119 00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:49.840 bad to say about somebody. They're always talking trash, always complaining, 120 00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:54.360 negative Nancy. I don't want to hear it. And I 121 00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.519 don't care if you're my blood relative, my best friend, 122 00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:02.120 I'm not putting up with it. I'd rather have very 123 00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:05.559 few people that hang out with be positive and happy 124 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:11.240 and joyful. I'll live in my little bubble. It's not 125 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:18.039 about quantity. It's about quality and that goes for everything 126 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:24.759 in your life. Food it's not about quantity, it's about quality. 127 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:32.799 Eat high quality foods. It's not about doing, you know, exercise, 128 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.120 It's about quality exercise. You know, I see these people 129 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:39.799 at the gym and yeah, they're just like you know, 130 00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:44.720 walking on the treadmill for like an hour, basically texting, 131 00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:47.480 talking on their phone. Yeah. Is that better than sitting 132 00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:53.000 on the couch. Yeah, But it's not quality working out. Right, 133 00:09:53.080 --> 00:09:55.600 a quality workout, you gotta sweat, your heart has to 134 00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:58.480 be your muscle's got to be a little strained, you 135 00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:03.840 gotta be uncomfortable. That's a real quality workout. It's not 136 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:06.519 about how many hours you're putting in at the gym. 137 00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:11.559 It's about the quality of the exercise. Right, when you're studying, 138 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:14.480 it's not about how many hours you're studying, but what's 139 00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:17.919 the quality you're studying, how much you absorbing, how much 140 00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:26.279 are you remembering? Always about the quality. So have quality, 141 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:33.679 high relationships, high quality food, high quality exercise, high quality sleep. 142 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:37.600 It's not the amount of time you're in bed, it's 143 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:43.879 the amount of quality deep sleep hours. I'd rather have 144 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:48.320 seven hours of high quality sleep than ten hours of 145 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:51.960 restless sleep. And that is what we got to do 146 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:58.000 for these kids. Quality time with your family, quality food, 147 00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:11.480 quality friends, quality sleep, quality exercise, quality, spirituality, quality, giving, charity. 148 00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:15.559 You could do it. We can do it. Our kids 149 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:17.639 can do it. And if we teach our kids to 150 00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:21.000 do it, they'll teach our kids and we'll change this world. 151 00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:25.120 You gotta give to others. You gotta help others, and 152 00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:28.039 you gotta do it in a kind way. And when 153 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:30.679 you help others, your brain get stronger, and anyone else 154 00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:34.480 who observes that their brain gets stronger. So we got 155 00:11:34.600 --> 00:11:37.600 to teach our kids to stop being so selfish. It's 156 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:40.759 not always about them. What are they gonna do to 157 00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:45.399 contribute to the world. How are they gonna help others? 158 00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.840 We can't do everything for our kids. We have to 159 00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:51.759 teach them how to help each other, how to be 160 00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:56.200 a community. There's too much division, right.

It's scary. 181 00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:32.440 One out of five children have been diagnosed with some 182 00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:37.759 sort of mental, emotional or behavioral disorder one in five, 183 00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:42.399 and a lot of them are on medications and uh, 184 00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:48.159 you know xenix, and you know anxiety pills and depression 185 00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:52.399 pills and lexapro and lithium and oh my god, all 186 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:56.039 these medications that are you know, normally given to adults. 187 00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:59.960 They're even given to kids and their brains are developed. 188 00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:04.279 When you give these kids these medication that mess with 189 00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:09.720 the brain chemistry as their brains developing, it creates permanent damage. 190 00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:16.200 It's very scary. You never want to give kids these medications. 191 00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:21.519 All these school shootings that the teenagers do, they're all 192 00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:27.120 on these psychiatric meds. It's not the brain that causes 193 00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:30.399 them to do it, it's the medication that causes them 194 00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:35.360 to do it. It's on the bottle. May cause violent tendencies, 195 00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:42.200 may cause suicidal, may cause anxiety, depression. It's on the pill, 196 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:47.360 says it in the bottle. Why do you want to 197 00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:51.279 take pills where the cure is worse than the condition, 198 00:14:53.759 --> 00:15:02.960 and especially developing brain. It's very irresponsible for all these 199 00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:09.159 doctors to constantly prescribe these medications. Why don't all these 200 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:13.080 kids have these behavioral problems? Youah, the cell phones are 201 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:17.480 one of them. Right. If you send a text message 202 00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:20.279 to your friend and you don't get a response right away. 203 00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:24.080 You go with withdrawal. It's like, you know you're a 204 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:27.600 cocaine addict and your drug dealer doesn't have anything for you, 205 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:32.240 and you're like, oh, I need my fix. You don't 206 00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:39.279 get the text message, your brain get stressed out. Then 207 00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:41.840 it's an hour later, you still don't get the text message. 208 00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:46.480 Now it's even worse a few hours later, worse a 209 00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:53.279 day later. Your brain starts going crazy. And now what 210 00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:56.639 do they want to do? Give you medication to shut 211 00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:00.919 off everything, to make you a zombie. So guess what. 212 00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:03.320 You're not gonna feel depression, You're not gonna feel the 213 00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:11.440 anxiety as much, but you're also not gonna feel love, joy, happiness, passion. 214 00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:17.279 They shut off these neuronal pathways. Sometimes the cure is 215 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:23.159 worse than the condition. So the cell phones are a 216 00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:27.759 big cause of these behavioral problems of these mental disorders. 217 00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:32.519 Social media they say, Oh, everyone's so skinny and beautiful, 218 00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:35.720 and they're on vacation, and they're so much money and 219 00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:40.200 so many friends, and they're always so happy. Lies, lies, lies. 220 00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:46.759 You can't watch social media thinking that these lives are normal. 221 00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:52.840 Everyone's given their highlight reel. Very few people are posting 222 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:58.120 all their sadness, their depression, when they have no money, 223 00:16:58.159 --> 00:17:00.519 when they're just sitting at home doing nothing. They're posting 224 00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:03.279 their vacations. They're posting their fancy then as they're posting 225 00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:05.559 when they're all dressed up in their makeup, their hair 226 00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:08.200 is done. They're posting when they look good, when they're 227 00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:10.359 having fun with their all their friends and family, when 228 00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:14.759 they're visiting exotic places. It's never when life is down. 229 00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:21.640 But if you think everyone's life is great, that's you're 230 00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:27.160 in fantasy world. Love your life, and I don't care 231 00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:28.839 what it is. You got to love. Love that you 232 00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:32.559 can see, Love that you can hear, Love that you 233 00:17:32.599 --> 00:17:36.160 could speak, Love that you can swallow, Love that your 234 00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:38.599 heart beats, Love that your lungs breathe, Love that you 235 00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:40.720 can digest food, Love that you could pee and poop 236 00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:45.759 and sweat, Love that you can read, Love that you 237 00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:50.920 can watch a sunset, Love that you could walk, Love 238 00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:57.200 that you could talk. Appreciate all that because I got 239 00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:01.799 patience that are missing all those things, and they would 240 00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:06.880 switch spots with you in a second every day. Appreciate 241 00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:15.839 what you have. Then your mental disorder decreases. It's hard 242 00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:21.759 to be anxious and appreciative at the same time. It's 243 00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:24.799 hard to be stressed out and thankful at the same time. 244 00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:33.200 Fail your days with appreciation, thankful, gratitude. You can't be 245 00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:37.400 have gratitude and panic at the same time. Doesn't work 246 00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:44.039 like that. Right in your gratitude journal, say it out loud. 247 00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:47.759 Be grateful that whatever it is. You have a brother, 248 00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:50.200 you have a mom, you have a kid, you have 249 00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:54.119 a friend, you got a neighbor. Be thankful for everything. 250 00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:56.640 You got a job, you got food and your refrigerator. 251 00:18:56.680 --> 00:18:58.279 You got clothes on your back, you got a roof 252 00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:00.720 up over your head. You can lock your door at night. 253 00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:04.319 You're not in Ukraine, You're not in Israel. Be thankful 254 00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:09.400 for everything that's happening in your life right now. You're 255 00:19:09.400 --> 00:19:13.759 not in some you know, forest fire in California. You're 256 00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:16.920 not in some tornado in Kansas. You're not in some 257 00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:23.920 hurricane in Florida. You're doing pretty good. Your life is 258 00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:31.480 pretty good. I was just in a Dominican The average 259 00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:35.839 monthly salary is two hundred and fifty dollars a month, 260 00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:43.519 not a day, not a week, a month. And guess 261 00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:51.119 what gas is more expensive there. Groceries are more expensive there, 262 00:19:55.119 --> 00:20:01.079 so the cost of living is higher. The salaries are 263 00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:07.160 two hundred and fifty dollars unmoved. But guess what, I 264 00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:10.640 saw so much more happiness in the Dominican than I 265 00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:18.680 do in America. They have no materials, no money, but 266 00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:21.839 they love. They have friends and family that care about them. 267 00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:26.759 They have fun. They have music and dance. They'll kick 268 00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.160 a rock and have fun with that. And they're right 269 00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:34.119 next to Haiti, and Haiti's much worse than Dominican. They 270 00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:41.960 have any less money and they're happy too. It is crazy. 271 00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:46.039 You go to Africa and you see these kids and 272 00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:48.839 you're like, oh, man, feel bad for these kids in Africa. 273 00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:51.200 They look at America and like, oh, I feel bad 274 00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:56.039 for these American kids. They're stuck in school all day. 275 00:20:58.359 --> 00:21:00.200 They're not allowed to move, they're not allowed to play 276 00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:02.079 with each other, talk with each other. They gotta listen 277 00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:05.839 to the teacher all day long. Well, these Advocate kids 278 00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:10.680 are out in the sun enjoying it. Then the American 279 00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:12.279 kids can go home. They're on their cell phone, they're 280 00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:19.319 on computer. The Avocids are going out playing, swimming, having 281 00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:26.160 fun with each other, smiling, laughing. The American kids are complaining, Oh, 282 00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:28.920 I only got twenty percent left. Oh nobody liked my 283 00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:35.200 TikTok video. Oh nobody's returning my text message. Oh like, 284 00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:40.279 I don't want this dinner tonight. Oh I don't want 285 00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:43.960 to go to my baseball practice. We complain about the 286 00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:49.119 stupidest things. Got to teach our kids and ourselves to 287 00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:54.680 appreciate life. Have gratitude. If you want to be happy, 288 00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:58.319 you don't want to have depression anxiety. Live in the moment. 289 00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:04.119 Appreciate what you have. Appreciate your friends, your family, whatever 290 00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:12.319 it is, your church, your work, your neighbors, your school, 291 00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:20.920 your job, your extracurricular activities, people who love you and 292 00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:25.640 take care of you every day. Write it down. I 293 00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:27.079 don't care if you're writing your cell phone. If you 294 00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:29.519 write in it, it's some gratitude journal. And if you 295 00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:31.599 got to say that out loud, if you say you're 296 00:22:31.640 --> 00:22:36.720 grateful for this, you say you appreciate this, tell people 297 00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:41.000 you appreciate them. You got to say it out loud. 298 00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:50.240 Don't say these negative things out loud. Don't say, oh, 299 00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:53.319 I hope I don't get COVID. Say I want to 300 00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:58.200 boost my immune system. Don't say, oh, my parents had Alzheimer's. 301 00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:01.799 How can I prevent that? Say hey doc, how do 302 00:23:01.880 --> 00:23:08.960 I improve my memory? Say? Oh my god, I have a headache. 303 00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:16.359 Do you think it's cancer? No? Say hey doc, how 304 00:23:16.440 --> 00:23:21.119 can I improve the function of my brain? How can 305 00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:28.039 get more blood and oxygen? I wanna feel better? Function matter, 306 00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:34.400 Change the words we use, and don't hang around with 307 00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:41.559 people who use negative terminology. That will grow on you. 308 00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:47.039 You don't even realize it. One bad apple can ruin 309 00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:52.799 the whole bunch. We need to encourage each other, be 310 00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:57.200 around people who lift you up. Your cheerleaders, not your critics. 311 00:23:58.839 --> 00:24:02.440 Now you can have conversations and masterminds and figure out 312 00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:04.480 stuff that you could work on. And figure out your 313 00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:09.440 weaknesses that you want to help improve, But don't focus 314 00:24:09.480 --> 00:24:12.880 your energy on those. Focus your energy on stuff that's 315 00:24:12.880 --> 00:24:16.960 going to improve your body. Focus your energy on things 316 00:24:16.960 --> 00:24:22.920 that are going to improve your function. Don't live your 317 00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:27.839 life avoiding stuff that aggravates your condition. Start living a 318 00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:30.519 life where you do more of the stuff that makes 319 00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:34.960 you feel good. People are always looking for, so what 320 00:24:35.039 --> 00:24:38.519 causes their problems. Stop looking for what causes your problems. 321 00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:44.079 Look for what helps you improve. Look for the solutions. 322 00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:51.160 Be solution oriented. Not problem oriented solutions. What makes me 323 00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:57.240 feel better, don't avoid what makes me feel worse, focus 324 00:24:57.319 --> 00:25:01.599 on what feels better. And they also did research that 325 00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:09.359 shows it's more important to avoid talking negative than talking positive. 326 00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:15.960 So you must avoid talking negative to function matner, feel better, 327 00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:20.200 and live a better life.

According to the CDC, childhood obesity affects nearly 346 00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:44.039 twenty percent of American youth, and physical activity forget about it. 347 00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:50.599 One out of every four kids is not is only 348 00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:55.240 getting the recommended sixty minutes of daily exercise. One in 349 00:26:55.440 --> 00:27:04.480 four it's only getting sixty minutes. That is insane. I mean, 350 00:27:04.519 --> 00:27:07.559 when I was growing up, we did first thing in 351 00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:12.319 the morning, we did intramurs you know, we would spend 352 00:27:12.359 --> 00:27:14.319 like an I don't know what it was, a half hour, 353 00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:18.559 forty five minutes before school. We'd played different sports. We'd 354 00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:22.480 bike to school and we'd play sports. Then you'd have 355 00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:25.920 gym class every day. You know, it's another forty five minutes. 356 00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:30.160 Then after there's always something, you know, fall it was 357 00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:34.440 the soccer, Winter was basketball, you know, Spring was tennis. 358 00:27:35.319 --> 00:27:38.319 So there was some after school activity. Another hour two 359 00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:41.480 hours of practice. Then I'd go home and play with 360 00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:44.559 my brothers, play with my friends. We'd play football, basketball. 361 00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:48.599 I mean, the parents would beg for us to come 362 00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:50.559 back home. We just never wanted to come home. We're 363 00:27:50.599 --> 00:27:58.400 always physically active. It was biking, playing sports, swimming, running anything, 364 00:27:58.759 --> 00:28:03.240 you know, activities that were planning, activities that were unplanned. 365 00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:05.920 You know, stuff where were your uniforms and refs and 366 00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:08.880 stuff where it was just pickup games. But we're always 367 00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:15.200 active hours and hours every day. Now only one out 368 00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:19.240 of four children get sixty minutes of exercise. What are 369 00:28:19.279 --> 00:28:22.599 they doing. They're sitting all day. It's the worst thing 370 00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:26.079 for your brain. You never want to sit for more 371 00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:31.960 than twenty minutes straight. That's the twenty rule. Every twenty minutes, 372 00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:36.480 you get up for twenty seconds, walk twenty feet, move 373 00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:38.480 your body twenty seconds. I don't care if it's twenty 374 00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:41.759 jumping jacks, twenty push ups, twenty sit ups, twenty squads, 375 00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:47.720 twenty lunges. Just move your body for twenty seconds. You 376 00:28:47.880 --> 00:28:51.079 move it or you lose it. The worst thing for 377 00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:56.000 children and adults is a sedentary lifestyle. So we gotta 378 00:28:56.039 --> 00:29:00.799 get exercise every single day. You know, just even if 379 00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:02.680 you get a dog, just that forces you to go 380 00:29:02.759 --> 00:29:07.480 for a couple of walks every single day. You gotta 381 00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:12.319 move your body. Sitting is the new smoking. Don't let 382 00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:16.200 your kids sit all day. And teachers, when you're listening 383 00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:19.720 to this show, please every twenty minutes. Get these kids up, 384 00:29:19.759 --> 00:29:22.400 do some sort of movement break, just for twenty seconds. 385 00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:27.480 You will see their grades get better, their focus gets better, 386 00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:32.440 their mood gets better, their energy is better. Everything is better. 387 00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:38.240 With movement breaks every twenty minutes. It will change your life. 388 00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:41.160 That's the only thing you do from this show. Do 389 00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:43.759 the twenty rule. Every twenty minutes, you get up for 390 00:29:43.880 --> 00:29:51.599 twenty seconds and move your body. This is not negotiable. 391 00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:58.640 You have to move your body. It's the most important thing. Okay, 392 00:29:59.640 --> 00:30:02.240 so move your body. Find something that the kids like 393 00:30:02.319 --> 00:30:05.880 to do. I don't care if it's zoomba, if it's karate, 394 00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:09.960 if it's hiking, if it's fencing, if it's swimming, if 395 00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:13.039 it's skateboarding. Doesn't have to be going to the gym. 396 00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:15.519 It doesn't have to be you know, basketball or soccer 397 00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:18.000 or volleyball or just one of the main you know 398 00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:21.519 sports that children do. It could be anything. It's something 399 00:30:21.559 --> 00:30:24.799 that gets their body moving. You know. I have a 400 00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:29.519 patient that this kid loves the Ninja Warrior, so that's 401 00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:32.200
