I bet you thought that you're better hydrated in colder weather? It makes sense…you're sweating less so you're able to hold more water. However, new studies suggest that the cold air and indoor heaters can actually dehydrate you MORE than a 20 minute walk…and it can severely and rapidly dry out your skin. Make sure you drink at least half your body weight number in ounces of water each day, summer and winter to keep yourself hydrated. Being properly hydrated will also help improve your skin health and ward off blemishes. Proper hydration will also improve your cognitive function and give you the energy you need to make it through the fall and winter months.

The Staying Young Show

Show Title: "Growth Hormone and the Aging Process"

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

Guest: None

Segment 1

Intro – 30 sec.

Today's show is all about the aging process, what makes us age and what we can do about it. There's lots of talk about the use of growth hormone and other anti-aging techniques, so today we will demystify the truths from the fiction.

• What happens when we age? Aging is a process that is genetically determined and environmentally modulated.
• Aging as a chronic disease
• Why are Americans so obsessed with anti-aging? "Anti-aging Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2013 - 2019"reports that the anti-aging market will see a compounded annual growth rate of 7.8% between 2013 and 2019. Projected to be worth USD 191.7 billion by 2019.
• Factors in the aging process (detail each)
  • Genetics/genomics
  • Nutrition
  • Exercise
  • Stress
  • Exposures
  • HORMONAL DECLINE

THAT MUSIC MEANS IT'S TIME FOR DOC SHOC. A TIME WHEN WE FIND SOMETHING SHOCKING IN THE NEWS OR WE'RE SHOCKED IT MADE THE NEWS.

This is a great study, because it proves that doctors don't learn everything in medical school – there is always more. This research is out of the NIH/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. It has long been believed that the brain is exempt from "plumbing" or lymph drainage. New research shows that there is actually a lymph system that carries the waste out of the brain. This is significant, because it may give new clues to neurological disorders like MS and Parkinson's. This also sheds some light on the brain/immune system connection. Ironically, an Italian medical scientist in 1816 reported seeing these vessels but was ignored and it was never talked about again for 2 centuries!

When's the last time you took a deep breath? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Have you ever noticed that when you get really busy or you're stress you tend to hold your breath? Well, it's common to hurry through the day and forget to stop and take some deep breaths. The body needs proper amounts of oxygen to function. Your brain needs it to think properly, your digestive system needs it to keep things moving, and even your immune system needs it to ward off colds and the flu. Maybe this explains why people who tend to meditate or take yoga have a healthier body overall. I want you each day to stop every hour on the hour (except when you're asleep of course) and take in three really deep breaths – slow and easy. I bet this simple change will bring you great benefits.

Didn't you just love to ride around the neighborhood on your bike when you were a kid? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. It's time to get back up on that bike. Do you remember when you were a kid and your bicycle was you ride to freedom. Well we were all much healthier and fit back then too. If you're looking for a great way to shed the pounds, increase your stamina, or even your coordination then take up bicycling. It's a great workout because it works so many different muscle groups at once. Not to mention, it gives your heart a good workout. The British Medical Association states that cycling just 20 miles a week can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease by 50% - maybe we Americans can learn something from those Brits. So set a goal to pump up those tires and get back on the road – old school style. There is so much to healthy living.

Show Topic: Knee Pain and Knee Replacement with Dr. Robert Bayless

Co-Hosts: Dr. Gaman, Judy Gaman, Mark Anderson

Guest: Robert Bayless – In studio

Segment 1

Today we are talking all about your knees. According to statistics, 719,000 knee replacements were done in the US in 2014 and that number is expected to climb dramatically as time goes on. We decided to bring in an expert on knees and someone we have a great deal of respect for, Dr. Robert Bayless, orthopedic surgeon with Irving Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. If you or someone you love is having knee issues, this is a show that you don't want to miss.

• (Connect) As doctors (Gaman and Anderson), how often do you see people with knee problems in primary care? Is that number going up?
• Reasons you think the patients with knee issues are getting younger. Sports? Lack of natural use? – All docs
• (Inspire) Things have improved so much and joint replacement is much easier on the body. – talk about the old days and crazy recovery times

MUSIC FOR DOC SHOCK (JIM)

A study out of Florida Atlantic University found that we are getting way to lazy for our own good. A lack of physical activity is responsible for 22 percent of heart disease, 22 percent of colon cancer, 18 percent of fractures due to osteoperosis, 12 percent of diabetes and high blood pressure, and even 5 percent of breast cancer, yet 36% of adults aren't moving enough. So get up and go for a brisk walk every morning or evening – don't be a statistic!

I know, I know, it's is one of those foods that you either love or you hate. Hopefully, if you're a hater this tid bit of information is going to turn you around. Celery is extremely high in antioxidants and helps ward off cancer. There is also strong evidence that it lower's blood pressure due to its naturally containing phytonutrients. Celery is also very high in fiber so it's great for your digestive system. Still not hooked – wait there's more – eating celery makes you excrete pheromones. You may remember that pheromones are the chemicals that make you attractive to the opposite sex. Oh yeah – who's putting celery on their shopping list now!

Do you have an aquarium in your house? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Having an aquarium can improve your life. Who knew those cute little fish could have such health benefits. I remember being a child and it seemed that most houses had an aquarium, including mine. I always loved to stare at the fish and the little treasure chest at the bottom that would open and close with the bubbles. Well it turns out that that mindless staring probably had great benefits. Research shows that watching fish lowers stress and anxiety, almost like a form of hypnosis. People who own aquariums have lower blood pressure and tend to sleep better. Another study also showed that Alzheimer's patients who had aquariums ate more and were less combative. Perhaps we should get back to having aquariums in our homes, offices, and even the hospital.

Want to sit back with some popcorn and a good movie? Well, it may be just what the doctor ordered. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Isn't it great when we find health benefits in an old favorite pastime? That's right I am giving you permission to watch and snack. However – there are a few caveats – first the popcorn must be air popped and no added salt or butter. Think of popcorn as a whole grain – one that actually tastes good. Popcorn contains powerful antioxidants that fight off free radicals within the body. Not to mention – it's full of fiber. And – about that movie – well make it a comedy. Watching funny movies and laughing will exercise your face and abs. It will also release endorphins – the feel good hormones in your body. Even if you're in a bad mood or down in the dumps, a good comedy can help turn things around. Oh – one last thing – no more than two movie nights a week - because remember – active exercise still trumps sitting!

When's the last time you gave or received a hug? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Don't shy away from physical affection. Some people believe that our society is grumpy because over the years we have adopted a hands off approach. Could there be something to all those pats on the back? Well researchers say yes. Physical affection actually reduces stress hormones and releases oxytocin, a hormone that makes you feel happy. People need to touch and be touched. Studies show that marriages where couples show physical affection, like handle holding and snuggling have a higher success rate not to mention the people tend to live longer. Next time you see a friend or a relative, reach out and give 'em a big hug. While you're at it – tell them you love 'em too.
