00:01 A question was asked to women over 75 years of
00:04 age and it's sobering answer was given in return. 00:07 Here is the question, would you rather die or 00:12 break a hip and be admitted to a nursing home? 00:15 The sobering answer over 80 percent of the women 00:18 said they would rather die. Today's program is 00:21 entitled "Building Better Bones Part 1," so stay by. 00:56 Hi, welcome to Abundant Living glad you 00:58 allowed us to come in to your living room again 01:00 once more. My name is Curtis Eakins and I like to 01:02 introduce my wife, my beautiful bride of 12 01:05 glorious years, Paula Eakins. How are you doing today 01:08 honey? I'm doing wonderful. Okay, you're 01:09 looking pretty good too. Thank you. I like you 01:11 hairstyle by the way, thank you, yes you are 01:13 welcome. Praise the Lord. You made some 01:15 statements at opening. Yeah, the opening 01:17 statement, about woman would rather die than 01:22 have hip fractures, that's right, that's heavy. 01:24 Yeah, that's heavy again let me reemphasis that 01:27 they asked several hundred women over the age 01:29 of 75 that question. Would you rather die or 01:35 break a hip and be admitted to a nursing home 01:37 in over 70, over 80 percent of people who were 01:41 asked that question said they would rather die. 01:45 And again this is a debilitating disease, 01:48 right and over 66 percent of the people, 01:51 who break a hip lose their independence. 01:55 So, because of that most women in that group 01:58 said we rather die, it's a sad thing but we're 02:02 going to explore this topic of osteoporosis 02:05 Building Better Bones so for the next two weeks 02:08 we're going to also explore how to increase the 02:11 bone density, bone mass so that we don't have 02:14 to break our hip, spine or wrist or forearm etcetera. 02:17 So, it's epidemic. Why don't you then define 02:19 for us the definition of osteoporosis and then how 02:22 would they test it, how will we test to find out 02:25 whether we have it or not? Okay, let's talk about 02:28 the bone itself, now lot of people may think that 02:31 the bone is a dead tissue okay. Bones are alive 02:35 and they demand a lot of things to make them 02:39 more dense, bones contain about 30 percent of 02:42 water is bone, a bone matrix. Now, there is two 02:45 terms I want to explain before we're going to 02:48 the bone, the definition and also the testing as well. 02:51 First of all, we have we called bone cells called 02:54 osteocytes, okay now there are two types. 02:57 We have osteoblasts and we have osteoblasts. 03:04 Now osteoblasts are cells that build up the bone, 03:10 B for bone, building up osteoblast it builds bone, 03:13 okay. Cells called osteoclast C for chewing up, 03:17 they chew a bone. So, we have osteoblast it 03:19 builds up the bone, osteoclast it builds down the 03:22 bone. So, this is called bone remodeling and this 03:25 happens throughout our course of living, 03:28 there by the bone builds-up and then they 03:31 tear down, build-up and tear down. This is bone 03:34 remodeling, okay. Now our peak bone mass reaches 03:39 about the age of 30. Therefore, having said 03:42 that let's go to our graph and let's explain this more 03:45 in detail by this graphic. Now, you see here that 03:49 again at the age of about 30, we have peak bone 03:54 mass thereby you want to make sure that it's 03:57 more like a RA account, the more you have in 04:00 your RA account then the more you have to 04:04 live in your bone mass until end of your life. 04:07 So, we have a lot of bone mass built up at 04:09 age of 30 that you can coast longer as you grow 04:13 outgrow close to the closing years of ones life. 04:16 Now, after the age of 30, we began to lose as 04:20 you see this graphic here lose more bone than 04:24 we build-up. So, now the line is going down after 04:27 the age of 30 and therefore that's why we have 04:31 people who have osteoporosis or even low 04:34 bone mass. Now, you look at this chart here this 04:37 is a test, this is called the Dexa scan, Dexa 04:43 scan it's stand for Dual energy X-ray 04:47 absorptometry and this is the main goal standard 04:51 to test bone matrix, bone mass, there by it will 04:56 give you a number and this is a "T" number. 04:58 Now you look closely as this graphic here. 05:01 A minus 1 down to a minus 2.5 in that area there 05:07 we called that low bone mass. You don't have 05:11 osteoporosis just low bone mass, now below the 05:14 red line this is below 2.5, minus 2.5 and below 05:21 we call that a person having osteoporosis, okay. 05:25 In that low bone mass and osteoporosis, 05:27 we have 44 million people who fall in that category. 05:31 So, again this is T- Score and this could be done 05:34 at any doctors' office and again thank you 05:36 Amanda for that graphic, they will measure the 05:40 bone mass in the hip, the spine, and the wrist 05:46 those three areas. So, again we need to have that 05:49 T- Scale a measure, so we know where we stand 05:51 because remember now, you know, hypertension 05:55 is called the "silent killer" right. Osteoporosis is 05:59 called "the silent disease" because bone is being 06:04 snatched or the bone matrix the calcium is being 06:06 snatched from our bones and we don't even 06:09 know it, it's the silent disease. So, we need to 06:12 do that and you have, your bone mass check 06:15 sometime ago didn't you honey? Well, I was very 06:17 surprised as the matter of fact, they were doing some 06:19 testing and I had an opportunity to go and have 06:22 the test done, they did on my foot, they actually 06:24 did on my foot into a machine and tested out 06:28 and I was like one of those praise the Lord because 06:30 when he finished with the bone mass they said 06:32 that my bone density was that of a 22-year-old 06:36 women. 22-year-old, I'm like go Jesus go Jesus 06:40 go, okay now let's explain it that now you have 06:43 a bone mass of a 22-year-old yes, so now 06:47 probably people need to know your age so they 06:48 can see how that is impact on your bone mass 06:53 because. Let's say if you're 23 then that's not 06:57 much over significant change there, 06:59 but maybe you wanna explore that or share with 07:01 the people your age and then they can get a 07:03 idea of your bone mass and how important that is. 07:08 So, he is trying to get me tell my age, now I'm just 07:11 trying to emphasize for the TV audience. 07:14 Let me just say this because of the fact that 07:15 I'm involved in a lot of strength exercises and 07:18 walking then of course the more walking and 07:21 exercise you're involved in then you actually, 07:23 your chronological age and your physical age are 07:26 different, so for all the women out there you know 07:28 I'm not gonna go there with the age thing you 07:30 understand very well, Mary what I'm saying so. 07:33 We will move on to the next subject as to why is 07:35 it that there a women who actually get osteoporosis, 07:38 okay. And the reason for that is that well yes okay, 07:44 okay we're going to next one. Now, osteoporosis, 07:47 one of the things that happens is that we have 07:49 talked before on our program, about menopause 07:51 women and going to menopause, we talked about 07:53 pre-menopause, we talked about post-menopause and 07:56 the women who are sitting right smack out in 07:57 the middle and if you recall those programs of course 08:00 if you don't have then you can always check with 08:01 3ABN we did a our whole series or all these programs 08:05 talking about menopause and osteo-menopause 08:09 and heart disease menopause and cancer, 08:11 menopause and diabetes, menopause and weight 08:13 management. All which relating to women and 08:15 your health, but about 40 percent Curtis of the 08:18 women who are in menopause okay actually have 08:23 a problem because whether it's surgical or 08:26 natural menopause they are going through. 08:28 Okay, they can actually lose that bone density 08:31 mainly because of the ovarian function and also 08:35 poor diet. Ovarian function basically talked about now 08:39 because of the hormonal levels of the Estrogen, 08:42 Progesterone, and Testosterone levels change up 08:45 as a woman begins to move into the menopausal age 08:49 and also after postmenopausal. Then she is 08:52 really having a issue or problem her body with the 08:54 bone matrix alright okay as a matter of fact is 08:57 been said that a quite of bit within that first five 09:00 years after menopause, postmenopausal is when she 09:03 will lose most of her bone matrix and that's because 09:05 of the hormonal imbalance specifically Estrogen 09:11 alright. Okay, so when you think of it that way 09:13 that bone loss is gonna be of course as you 09:14 mentioned earlier the hip, the vertebrae, and also the 09:17 wrist. Okay, now again let's explain on that because 09:21 again postmenopausal, so now the average age 09:24 for women going to menopause I believe this was 09:26 51 years, that's average age they can be prior to 09:29 that or even after that, alright. You know, we had 09:31 talked before on a program about the fact that 09:34 really and truly even a women in her later part 09:36 of 30s is the first time we want her take a first 09:38 Estrogen test and even a bone density she can, 09:42 but usually we use it to bone density later in her 09:44 life like when she is in her 50's alright, okay. 09:47 But that's first part around the 30's the reason 09:49 for that is that in your 30's even though you are 09:52 not menopausal we want to get that Estrogen, 09:55 Progesterone, Testosterone level, so that when 09:58 you begin to move to the area of your 40's then we 10:01 have a thing called pre, pre-menopausal. 10:04 Pre-menopausal also means in those 40's now 45 up, 10:08 a woman could begin to experience problems with 10:11 her bones and also with her Estrogen level in her 40's 10:15 late 40's. Okay, so rather than wait and think that 10:18 you already 51 that's when I'm gonna get it, 10:20 alright you wanna get the scores. So, you got it in 10:22 your 30s you do it in your 40's or later 40's and 10:25 then you know where you stand automatically. 10:27 And know what the protocol is gonna be, I remember 10:29 also that we talked about the fact that a women 10:32 can also go through surgical menopause, okay, 10:34 a surgical menopause means removal of the ovaries 10:37 or removal of the uterus also mean she might 10:40 have breast cancer all these things cause a problem 10:44 whether it's through chemotherapy or taking 10:47 some type of medication. Because of the deficiency 10:49 or the problem going on that would set her 10:51 automatically into menopause, so sometime 10:54 women think that I have got to be older, 10:55 but I was surprised when I did my program how many 10:58 women in their 30's, the early 30's and even, 11:01 I even met women in their 20's, who had already 11:04 had hysterectomies done for one reason or not 11:07 so therefore they were already menopausal. 11:09 Okay, so again to sum up Estrogen seem to me a 11:13 protector, absolutely and then once a women go 11:16 through menopause of course ovaries no longer 11:18 produce an Estrogen or the size two, right and 11:20 therefore the bone matrix began to decrease gradually. 11:24 Let's go back to that first graphic Amanda, let's also 11:27 explain on that because if you look at that 11:28 graphic there look at the 50 year mark there 11:32 that's where that line begins to drop drastically 11:36 yes at the age of 50. And keep ongoing to the age 11:39 of 70, so in that mark there that will allowed span 11:42 there at the age 50 is where that line goes, 11:45 goes below the yellow line at the age of 50. 11:48 And that's where most people or most women go into 11:51 to menopause, so they lose up to a 50 percent 11:53 I heard 30/5 percent of their bone mass in the first 5 11:56 years, first 5 years after menopause right, thank you 11:58 Amanda for that graphic. I also want to 12:01 clarify to that, that you talked about the 30 years 12:04 of age where the bones are building up and 12:06 building that reservoir for later, okay and the 12:08 blessing is that we're gonna talk about that in 12:11 the other part of our program when we get to 12:13 the third portion of this program okay and that 12:15 is that the matrix was not so much to me building 12:19 up to the age of the 30. Because I didn't have 12:21 all these information about health right and 12:23 lifestyle in my 20's or in my 30's, so as a result of 12:28 that I learned that eating right which is the other 12:31 component, eating properly and also exercise, 12:35 actually keeps the bone matrix and it can rebuild 12:39 because of that. Praise the Lord alright; praise the 12:41 Lord okay good thing. We're gonna comeback to that 12:44 because how we can also supply Estrogen to 12:48 the system from the plant based source therefore 12:51 protect our bone matrix. I got a question for 12:53 you, okay we see all the time on TV, these 12:56 mustaches, mustache, everybody wear an 12:58 mustache, I got one now, which you know I'm 13:00 talking about the white mustache because of 13:02 this milk issue, because of the gray hair, and also the 13:05 newest thing is gonna right now is that you've got 13:07 milk try to comeback into play because you know 13:09 for a while there, they were trying to say 13:12 let's calm down in a whole milk, the skin milk 2 13:14 percent milk. And now all of a sudden, 13:17 the milk is not doing to well, so now they have 13:19 got all kind actors and singers coming on TV with 13:22 this white mustache, okay, women and man, 13:25 you know, women don't have them, but this is the 13:27 milk, we called them milk, okay. Milk rings on their 13:30 lip, the upper lip and so the reason that they are 13:32 trying to push that milk. But we know, wait 13:35 a minute if you said osteoporosis and we're 13:39 talking about basically American women and 13:41 Building Better Bones, Building Better Bones and 13:43 we're supposed to be drinking at least three 13:46 glasses of milk a day. And we probably drink more 13:48 milk then most countries in the world. Then my 13:50 question is, the question is why then is 13:52 osteoporosis so high in the American population? 13:56 That's a good question, maybe a man in our 13:58 camera crew can answer that question, 14:01 why don't you answer that question or may be 14:02 I can answer it, I did ask you; okay yeah you 14:03 did ask me yeah okay. Cow's milk, 14:06 cows milk now folks... Women if you want to 14:09 have brittle bones, if you want to have brittle 14:12 bones. One of the best things you can do is to 14:15 drink as much cow's milk as you possibly can. 14:21 Now, I wanna let you stew in that for a little while, 14:22 let me explain that statement. Now, first of all 14:26 we're not designed to drink cow's milk by nature 14:30 now we did a program some years ago entitled 14:32 "Not Milk" we wanna cover some of that in this 14:35 program, but not everything by the way, first 14:38 of all we are the only species on earth that 14:42 drinks another species milk. Animals don't do 14:47 that, as the matter of fact a baby calf was stop 14:50 drinking a cow's milk at the age of 6 months alright. 14:54 But we keep drinking the cow's milk until the day 14:56 we die, number 2 cows' milk even though cow's 15:00 milk has calcium. It also has something else 15:03 that will cancel out the calcium and that is animal 15:08 protein for every gram of animal protein we take 15:12 into our system we excrete out into our urine one 15:16 Milligram of calcium. Therefore any animal protein 15:20 be a milk, eggs, cheese, butter, yogurt, beef, 15:23 chicken, pork, lamb. any animal protein we lose 15:27 one milligram of calcium in our urine, so the more 15:31 animal protein we take in, we actually as one 15:34 person says we simply pee out our bones, mercy, 15:37 alright. therefore, because milk although has 15:40 calcium it has animal protein. now there has been, 15:43 I wanna use the statement that my mother 15:44 used to say years ago. There are oodles and 15:48 oodles of clinical studies on this as well. 15:51 American journal clinical nutrition, they did a study 15:53 of 44,000 women from Aiwa and they chart them 15:57 over 12 year span and they had 44 cases of 16:02 those in that group, who had broke a hip. 16:05 They discovered that those who broke a hip had 16:08 a higher ratio of lower ratio of calcium to animal 16:14 protein, okay. in other words it's not just a calcium 16:16 issue it's also animal protein issue. The more 16:20 animal protein they had in their urine and in their 16:23 blood, they are more likely to have a broken hip. 16:27 Those who did not experience any hip fractures 16:29 had a lower protein ratio and a lower... or a 16:33 higher calcium ratio. So, again is more less the 16:37 higher to calcium, the lower the protein ratio 16:40 the better of you'll be. Alright, so there is also 16:43 another clinical study of people who drink one 16:48 or less glass of milk per week had a lower rate 16:53 of hip fractures, fractures of the spine and a 16:56 wrist. those who drink two or more glasses of 17:00 milk per day had more fractures of the hip, spine, 17:06 and wrist. That was found in American journal of 17:08 public health. So, there are a lot of studies 17:12 exemplifying that, so again milk is not the thing we wanna 17:15 do as far as building bone matrix. We're gonna 17:18 talk more about that when we go into our 17:19 next program, next week and the week after 17:21 that as well, so again we need to shift from animal 17:25 protein to plant protein because guess what folks? 17:29 When we take in plant protein guess what? 17:32 We keep the calcium that we eat in our foods 17:35 alright so again as the statement goes. We're not 17:38 so much, we're not what we eat, we are what we 17:42 absorb, mercy. Because we only absorb about 30 17:45 percent of the calcium in the cow's milk, but there 17:48 was other foods we are talk about next week 17:50 where it's rich in calcium and when we get that 17:52 calcium into our bodies we keep it, that's the key. 17:56 Well, know what about caffeine because we hear 17:59 lot about that as well yeah caffeine, caffeine and 18:02 sodium as well. The more sodium we take in, okay, 18:06 the more calcium we take in, the more, 18:10 excuse me let's say it over again, the more sodium 18:13 we take into our system, okay, okay. The more 18:16 caffeine we take into our system, the more calcium 18:20 we lose from our bones and it's excreted out into the 18:24 urine. So, again calcium is excreted out when we 18:28 take in caffeinated drinks, soft drinks and also a 18:32 high sodium diet alright. Every 2300 milligrams 18:36 of sodium, we lose 60 milligrams of calcium, 18:40 mercy, see so again we need to be careful of these 18:44 are called these the bone bandits, animal protein 18:48 in any form milk, chicken, fish, pork, lamb, beef 18:53 etcetera, caffeine, sodas, coffee, sodium also, 19:01 these are bone bandits, we can talk about 19:03 cigarette smoke and alcohol too, so all these are 19:06 bone bandits, they are snatching out the calcium 19:08 from our bones and become weakened and we have 19:11 osteoporosis. Well, I guess we've got quite a 19:15 bit we're gonna be covering on each programs 19:16 and this next two times we come together and we 19:20 also have, I think just one more graph that we need 19:23 to show before we start talking about going into 19:24 the kitchen right. Yeah, let's look at this last 19:26 graphic here Amanda and this is what happens 19:29 folks we can actually build bone matrix now, 19:31 I don't have to tell you which bone we would 19:33 prefer to have the one on the right or the one 19:36 on the left. Now, of course one on the right is 19:38 a person probably is doing lot of things that we're 19:41 gonna talk about for the next two weeks. 19:43 Not drinking the animal protein or taking any 19:45 animal protein, taking in the plant protein so the 19:49 calcium is kept in our bones. But a person on the 19:51 right there again is osteoporotic bone there, 19:56 is very, it's less dense so of course we're gonna 19:59 have more fractures at a hip, spine, and the wrist. 20:03 So, again but that bone on the right, 20:06 it can be build up again, it doesn't have to be that way, 20:09 we talk about that for the next two programs. 20:12 Okay, well I guess, time to go into the kitchen, 20:13 time to go into the kitchen and now I'm gonna 20:15 be fixing a dish that does not use milk, 20:19 how about that Amen, hallelujah, okay. But I'm 20:21 making or we are going to make a creamy 20:24 strawberry desert get your paper and 20:26 pencil and meet us in the kitchen. |
