Healthy At 100 Vocabulary Text

Hello, this is AJ. Welcome to the vocabulary lesson for "Healthy at 100." Now, I know

the vocabulary lesson is probably the least exciting and interesting lesson of the

collection. And that's okay. In fact, it's really my least favorite as well. l'd say listen to it

one or two times, maybe the first and second day, and after that you don't need to listen

to it every single day. The most important lessons are, y'know, the main, the main

lesson, the main audio and the mini-story and the POV. Those are the most important

but, y'know, listen to the vocabulary lesson a few times the first couple days of the

week. Alright, let's get started with the vocabulary lesson for Healthy at 100. There is

actually a good amount of vocabulary in this one.

Our first word is correlation, so he talks about the correlation between cancer and

animal food. Cancer and animal food, there's a correlation between the two.

Correlation means connection or association. It means the two go together. They

called a correlation, correlation. Now, it does have a little bit more specific, scientific

ate a lot of meat had high rates of colon cancer. So colon is part of your body, it's your

gut. It's your bowel. It's your lower intestine, right? So your food goes in. It goes down

your throat into your stomach. From your stomach it goes into your upper intestine...do

da do da do...and then finally into your lower intestine. Into your colon, and then it

comes out your body again. So colon is your bowel, your gut, your lower intestine.

Next we have the word dairy. Dairy products, dairy food. Dairy just means milk or

cheese. It's something that comes from milk or cheese. Comes from an animal, you
