00:02 The following program is designed to demonstrate
00:04 simple workouts that you can use to improve 00:06 your health. Be sure to consult your physician 00:10 before beginning any exercise program. 00:16 Cholesterol is something as mentioned quite frequently. 00:18 But, it's really misunderstood 00:19 is it a friend or a foe. Stay tune and find out 00:22 next on Body and Spirit. 00:54 Hello, I am Dick Nunez Exercise Physiologist and 00:56 Principle of Miracle Meadows in Mountain State Leadership 00:58 Academy in West Virginia. Welcome to Body and Spirit. 01:02 Today, we are gonna talk about cholesterol, 01:03 lot of people have a misunderstanding 01:05 about cholesterol, I hear the term quite frequently, 01:07 good and bad cholesterol The reality is I feel 01:10 there is no such thing as bad cholesterol. 01:12 If we didn't have any LDL cholesterol, 01:15 which is considered the bad cholesterol, 01:16 I think we've been in big trouble. HDL in the 01:18 other hand is considered the good cholesterol. 01:22 However, out there, there is a lot of misconceptions. 01:23 I remember one time going through a smorgasbord salad 01:27 bar and a couple of ladies were in front of me, 01:28 and one were saying don't eat those olives 01:30 they are very high in cholesterol 01:33 and I thought what should I do? 01:34 Try enlighten them or should I just leave 01:36 them in darkness. Well being Evangelist 01:38 who can Spirit, I decided I would enlighten like them, 01:40 I said excuse me ladies, but olives do not have 01:43 cholesterol, cholesterol is a fat soluble substance 01:46 produced by the liver. In sense olives have 01:48 no liver, obviously they could have no cholesterol. 01:50 Cholesterol is only an animal product. 01:52 The one lady just kind look at me with a stern stare 01:55 and went thank you. There is no appreciation 01:58 for my enlightenment of cholesterol. 02:00 Cholesterol is not an vegetarian food. 02:04 It's simply an animal product our body, however, does 02:06 produce cholesterol. We will talk little bit more 02:08 about that as we get into our program today. 02:11 I believe we are ready to get started 02:12 helping me out today will be Will and Rick, 02:14 who is also my son, they both are students 02:17 the Mountain State Leadership Academy. 02:21 Alright, we are gonna do a workout 02:22 that somewhat designed for people who do have 02:24 high cholesterol and we're just start by 02:26 loosening up little bit by turning 02:30 and we'll turn and turn and reach 02:34 and go up on the toe as you turn and reach 02:36 turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, good, keep going, 02:47 let's go ten more each way 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 03:08 two more 9 and 10, good. Alright, push your hands 03:16 in the middle press it tightly. 03:20 Now we gonna turn our hands facing out, we're gonna press 03:24 out draw back, press out, and draw back, good. 03:32 Let's keep going and people eat high fat food 03:35 it's a natural response to the body 03:38 to produce low density lipoproteins, 03:41 which then go into the gallbladder, where they are 03:43 converted into bile sauce and bile acids 03:45 and then they act as a soap dispenser 03:47 into the small intestine that's we break down fats. 03:52 So, it's part of our digestive process to produce 03:53 cholesterol, but we don't need to consume 03:55 any cholesterol. There is no recommended 03:58 dietary allowance for cholesterol. 04:00 We produce plenty with on our own. 04:03 Let's do five more and somebody ask what you do 04:06 if you have no gallbladder, whether the body is able to 04:08 adjust from that and the liver takes care of it all. 04:13 Now, we are gonna press down 04:16 press and press, there are certain foods you can eat 04:20 to help lower cholesterol ginseng, garlic, onions, 04:27 brewer's yeast all those have been found 04:30 to be helpful also lessen them and of course if one 04:35 would stop smoking that would help immensely 04:38 although diet per se, it doesn't really change the 04:42 HDL ratio, it does help lower the total cholesterol. 04:49 Okay, let's go up, up, up, and up, up, 05:05 let's go ten more, up, up and up, and up, up, four more 05:24 and two more and squeeze your hands together, 05:31 squeeze hard, squeeze hard, ten more seconds, 1. 2, 05:37 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, good. 05:46 Down to relax, put it stretch back 05:52 should be point to your chest as you stretch. 05:56 Now bring it crossed and pull and reach back again 06:09 and bring it across, good. Alright relax. 06:19 We'll take a stance here, we are gonna put 06:21 the left foot on in front of this 06:23 bend your knee slightly reach out grab and 06:26 hold your wrist and you are gonna act like your sowing 06:29 and pull back, use your own body with your resistance 06:34 wanted 20 of those. People also have a 06:38 misconception that by exercising 06:43 they are gonna lower their total cholesterol level 06:44 and exercise per se is not that effective 06:47 in lowering total cholesterol, 06:49 but will help raise the HDL cholesterol, 06:52 which is on the other end of the metabolic spectrum 06:55 of LDL cholesterol because this is actually taking 06:58 fat deposits and cholesterol out of the arteries 07:00 and taking it out of the body. 07:02 That's why it gets it's reputation as being 07:03 good cholesterol. How many around? 07:06 That's 20, okay and switch sides and 07:11 pull and pull, pull focus on using your upper back 07:18 as you do this for your scapular end 07:21 back out again. Also eating lot of fibers 07:26 been found to be helpful lowering cholesterol 07:30 as we lot of fiber to plant sterols are similar in 07:33 chemical structure to cholesterol 07:35 and when it gets down to large intestine 07:37 and so the cholesterol being reabsorbed to the 07:39 large intestine the plant sterols block that 07:44 and of course high fiber takes fats out 07:45 what we around, good. Okay, let's reach out 07:50 and pull back and out and back out, and back 07:55 think about squeezing the shoulder blades together 07:57 again, pull and pull and pull and pull ten 08:06 more 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, good. 08:25 Alright, let's put the arm up over the heads, 08:26 stretch your latissimus. It was also found 08:33 through the <8:31> say the people 08:34 with cholesterol levels under a 150 08:37 they haven't found any coronary disease with them 08:39 yet as far as dying with the heart attack. 08:43 Right switch, also we find a typical person 08:46 on a regular American diet will have like a 56 percent 08:48 chance of having cardiovascular disease 08:51 or if they go to an overactive or 08:53 drops down to 39 percent if we become a total vegetarian 08:56 it drops down to 14 percent, chance is still there, 08:59 but much, much less.

If somebody 27:17 has blood pressure, high blood 27:20 pressure isn't the good thing, but you still 27:21 need blood pressure, you still need glucose, 27:23 although too much glucose isn't good. 27:25 So, if you have cholesterol you have to have that, 27:28 it's part of the metabolic makeup of the body. 27:30 If you have too much cholesterol though it can 27:32 start causing problems. Watch your diet, eat lot 27:35 of fruits and vegetables, cut down on the animal products, 27:38 regular exercise, drink a lot of water 27:41 and get sunshine, sunshine actually converts cholesterol 27:44 into vitamin D and also remember do it for the 27:47 right reason. Philippines 4:13 says, 27:49 I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. 27:53 God bless you, keep exercising, 27:54 hope to see you next time. |
