Diabetes and hypertension are on the rise in the US and ultra-processed foods may be to blame. These foods are low in fiber and high in sodium, fat, and sugar.

Women-do you drink alcohol? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. You may already know that excessive alcohol consumption can lead to weight gain and mental health problems. But, did you know that studies have shown that one alcoholic drink a day can increase your risk for breast cancer? You heard right. One glass of wine daily can do more harm than good. Dr. Emma Miller from Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia conducted a study to see if women over the age of 45 were aware of this risk. Surprisingly, the participants seemed more worried about the short-term effects of drinking and were shocked to discover that it increased their risk for breast cancer. Turns out that glass of wine a day, doesn't keep the doctor away. Talk to your doctor if you notice any changes to your breasts.

Show Topic: Interesting and Unusual Health Tips

Co-Hosts: Judy Gaman, Mark Anderson, Walter Gaman

Guest: None

Segment 1:

Today's show we're going through some interesting and even unusual health tips. Things you'll never hear at a typical doctor visit. Call it "tricks of the trade"

Anxiety/Depression tips:

• Eat more fermented foods. Research shows the connection between good bacteria in the gut and brain health. Eating things like sauerkraut, Miso, kombucha, and yogurt may help you improve your overall mood. Good bacteria actually changes your brain chemistry by increasing serotonin and dopamine
• Exercise 4-5 times a week. Research shows that exercise can be just as effective as anti-depressants, without the nasty side effects. Fake it until you make it. The more you exercise the more energy you will have to continue exercising.
• Stop eating processed carbohydrates. Processed foods increase inflammation and an inflamed brain is an unhappy brain.
• Change your thoughts – change your brain. Be careful of what you hear, read, and speak. Shut down negative talk by others, it will rot your brain in increase anxiety. Read things that inspire you so the parts of your brain that are happy will light up. Watch your words. What you say affects your brain activity. Post affirmations about yourself and read them aloud at least 3 times a day.

Headaches

• Go on the migraine diet. First line of defense is to eliminate nuts, dark chocolate, tomatoes, dairy, and alcohol
• Limit your screen time and reduce the light on your computer. Bright lights can strain the eyes and cause migraines.
• Have sex – that's right, it's not an excuse anymore. Sex has been proven to reduce headache frequency and duration as well as stop one dead in it's tracks.
• Spend time meditating or praying. This allows your brain to slow down and recover from stressors. Research shows that the part of your brain that is activated during prayer or meditation is not activated at any other time.
• Do not work under florescent lighting. Incandescent or natural light is best

New research shows that Vitamin D can increase insulin sensitivity. Researchers from Brazil found that Vitamin D may be the key to warding off diabetes.

Segment 2:

Today we're giving you health tips that you'll most likely never get from your doctor, not because he doesn't know, but because he may not have time to share all his knowledge with you.

Protect your vision:

• Spend too much time on the computer? Eat swiss chard to help protect the protective pigments of your eyes. It's rich in anti-oxidants including lutein which helps the body filter blue light. Also – cut back on screen time!
• If your eyes are dry, try increasing the amount of Vitamin A you eat. Liver and onions, along with sweet potatoes are high in Vitamin A
• Think sunscreen – not so much on your skin as in your sun glasses. Only

buy sun glasses that have UV protection

• Be sure you eye glass prescription is accurate. Straining your will only make them worse.
• Eat fish that is high in Omega 3, like salmon. This will help protect the eyes from neovascular AMD
• Stop smoking. Smokers have a higher risk of developing macular degeneration.

Protect your Heart

• Know your numbers. Even healthy appearing, normal weight individuals have heart attacks. Get a physical that includes blood tests such as cardio CRP and advanced lipid panels. Also, a calcium score can see plaque within your coronary arteries long before symptoms appear
• Cardiovascular strength is just as important is flexibility and physical strength
• Go on the Mediterranean diet
• If you're prescribed a low dose aspirin or statin – take it

Improve your microbiome (gut health)

• Eat fermented foods
• Get outside – don't be afraid of a little dirt
• Avoid chemicals – even body washes, drycleaners, and household cleaners
• Obtain a healthy sleep schedule. Sleep reduces stress and less stress is key to a healthier gut

Improve Skin

• Drink more water (half your body weight in ounces)
• Reuse your coffee grounds as a facial scrub. This is especially effective for men after they shave.
• Use dental floss to eliminate skin tags. Tie it off with the floss, cover with a bandage and in a few days it will simply fall off
• Need a way to rid a pesky wart? Duct take works. It causes your immune system to over respond and fight the wart off naturally
• Make a yogurt face mask. The probiotics in yogurt will help heal your skin after too much sun. Leave on about 10 minutes
• Deep sleep. There is a thing as beauty sleep. But it needs to be continuous and deep REM sleep

Improve sleep:

• Avoid blue light 2 hours before bed. Read instead of TV and avoid cell phone use and computer screens
• Eat a half a banana with a tablespoon of peanut butter.
• Turn the temp down 2 degrees in your bedroom

People who have previously had trouble with speech now have new found hope thanks to the researchers at Columbia University’s neuorengineers. By using speech synthesizers and artificial intelligence, they have found a way to turn thoughts into speech. Previous to this discovery, research has showed us that the brain is activated by speaking, thinking and listening. By harnessing the activity of the brain during thoughts, it can be translated into words spoken by a computer with incredible accuracy.

Coming up, our special guest Jennifer McDaniel who will help you improve your mental energy so you can accomplish all that your heart desires.

Segment 2:

Today we’re taking about increasing your energy. We have a special guest in the studio with us, Jennifer McDaniel. As a certified Core Energy Coach, Jennifer helps to empower people to dig deeply, honestly, and objectively into their energy and mental programming in order to assess who they are and who they want to become.

Immortal Minute

Energy

Energy is how we perform or show up in our lives moment to moment For all practical purposes, there are two kinds of energy: anabolic and catabolic.

• Anabolic describes energy that is constructive, expanding, fueling, healing, and growth-oriented.

Anabolic energy helps move you forward and achieve positive, long-term, successful results, and is useful in leading others in the same direction.

• Catabolic energy, on the other hand, is draining, resisting, and contracting energy. While catabolic energy provides you with an energetic boost to combat what you perceive to be a stressful situation, it also is distracting and acts like a blinder through which you only see a limited view of a situation, thus reducing the choices available to you.
• Though it may offer some short-term benefits, when used on a long term basis, it imparts mental, emotional, and physical tolls that are potentially destructive to you, to your organization, and to all those around you

Core Energy Influencers

• The COR.E Influencers are the spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, social, and environmental factors that can work for you, and to any degree that they do not, detract from your performance.
• The factors that influence performance vary from person to person, and sometimes, from situation to situation.
• What doesn’t affect your energy in one situation may detract from it in another. Any time you’re not performing to the best of your ability, something is blocking your energy and most likely a spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, social, or environmental factor is holding you back

Coming up- understanding the 7 levels of energy with our special guest, Jennifer McDaniel.  

Segment 3:

We’re talking about improving your energy levels. We have in the studio with us, Jennifer McDaniel who is a certified Core Energy Coach.

The 7 Levels of Energy And How They Relate to Everyday Life

• There are 7 levels of energy that we are experiencing at any given time. 
• We all move in and out of these levels according to our level of awareness and perceptions
• Each level has a core thought, a core feeling and a core action associated with it

Level 1: Catabolic –Victim – “I lose or I am loosing”

Level 2: Catabolic –Conflict “I win, so you lose”

Level 3: Anabolic –Responsibility “I win and hopefully you win too”

Level 4: Anabolic - Concern “You win”

Level 5: Anabolic – Reconciliation “We all win or no one wins”

Level 6: Anabolic- Synthesis “We always win”

Level 7: Anabolic Non-Judgement “Winning and Losing are illusions”

 Know that each energy level has distinct advantages and disadvantages. The goal is to be able to identify your dominant energy level in a normal response to life and in a stress response. Once you do this you can literally choose the level that you want to access by choosing a new thought, which leads to a new feeling, which leads to a new action and outcome. This is how you consciously change your life moment to moment
