00:03 Hello and welcome to the program. My name is Rico Hill
00:06 and I'd like to begin this program with a quotation
00:09 from Jesus Himself in Matthew 11:28.
00:13 He says: "Come unto Me all ye that labor
00:17 and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. "
00:22 Wow! What a powerful and precious promise.
00:27 Isn't it? Hello? Hello?
00:33 HEY! What're you doing? We're taping a program.
00:36 Ah, go on without me. I didn't get much sleep last night.
00:40 Why? What were you doing? You know how I roll?
00:43 I was out on the town having some fun.
00:47 You know, lack of sleep is one of the leading causes
00:51 of sickness. Why do you think they call me Sickness?
00:55 I know what I'm doing. I know about late-night TV.
00:58 I know about partyin' at the club late.
01:01 I know about eating spicy food late.
01:04 I know what I'm doing.
01:06 Well, as you have probably guessed
01:08 today's topic for our program is sleep.
01:12 Today we're going to share information with you
01:15 about the benefits of just sleeping AND the difference
01:20 between sleep and rest.
01:24 Sleeping... I'm so tired.
01:28 Roll it.
02:11 Well hello, and thank you for joining us here in the studio
02:15 of From Sickness To Health. And I am Rico Hill
02:18 as you already know. I'm glad that you've joined us.
02:21 There are others who are joining us today, so we're
02:23 excited about this program. Now, I'm here because I want to
02:26 stand in between the sickness and health, and help you to
02:30 go from sickness to a healthier lifestyle.
02:33 And joining me to help do that are a couple of doctors.
02:36 They are friends of mine and I know that you are going to
02:38 enjoy the things that they have to say.
02:40 We have with us Dr. Schubert Palmer, who is the chair of the
02:45 Cardiology section of White Memorial Medical Center
02:49 in Los Angeles, California.
02:51 But that's not all he does. I don't know how he does it,
02:54 but he is also a husband and he is an author and he is one
02:58 who loves sharing the Word of God
03:01 and has a beautiful ministry.
03:02 I'm sure he'll tell us more about that.
03:04 But our old friend... not that he's old
03:06 but he is someone who has joined this program many times
03:09 before, Dr. Jim Said, who is a board-certified
03:13 chiropractor and a naturopathic doctor.
03:16 He is with us also, and we're excited to have you both here.
03:18 Welcome to the program. Thank you so much;
03:20 Thank you very much. So today we're going to talk about
03:22 a subject that is guaranteed to not put anybody to sleep,
03:26 right? We're going to talk about sleep.
03:29 So you want to stay awake to hear what's going to be shared
03:32 today. But before we get into the program
03:34 we're going to turn to our friend Sickness
03:37 who has some things to say about sleep.
03:41 So let's hear what he has to say.
03:46 This man's trying to get some sleep. Let's see how that
03:49 works out for him. Last night I had him up all night
03:52 on his computer. The night before his boss
03:55 kept him late and tonight we enjoyed some nice spicy food
03:59 to keep him tossin' and turning all night.
04:01 But hey, let's see this: if all else fails
04:04 re-ignite the football injury!
04:07 Little arthritis or how about a whooping cough?
04:11 Beautiful! You know, a lack of sleep will make you sick.
04:16 This guy's not doing well. When all else fails, though,
04:20 I go to my move. Grrr! Uh... uh!
04:23 The nightmare! Back to you, Rico.
04:31 I certainly wouldn't want to be that guy, right?
04:35 Well, sickness does come and, you know, it is really
04:39 a tragedy when we're trying to sleep and we're suffering
04:43 from some pain or if there's a cold or
04:46 you know, just some illness. It's really bad because
04:50 the body actually needs the rest for it to recover.
04:55 Is that right? Exactly. What we want to do today
04:58 is we want to talk about sleep but not just getting, you know,
05:01 snoozing... taking a good dose... but we're talking
05:03 about the difference between just sleeping
05:07 and resting... because God wants us to rest.
05:11 In fact, gentlemen, I think the Bible in Genesis begins with
05:15 "the evening and the morning were the first day. "
05:21 So there was something important about the evening
05:23 being first. What do you all have to say about that?
05:26 Our bodies require rest AND sleep.
05:30 I want to make a distinction about what happens at night.
05:35 We have a system in the nervous system called the
05:38 parasympathetic nervous system -
05:40 yes - which is a system for rest and recovery.
05:43 The Lord designed it that it's active every night
05:47 to repair our bodies.
05:49 And some of the things that happen during that time
05:52 occur in the brain that triggers sleep.
05:55 One thing that occurs is we have brain hormones...
05:59 or neurotransmitters they're also called.
06:01 One in particular that people have heard about is serotonin.
06:05 Serotonin creates another hormone called melatonin
06:09 that allows the body to go into a deep state of sleep.
06:13 Now one of the things that happens during that time
06:15 is we have another kind of cell structure in the brain
06:20 called glial cells that actually open up spaces
06:25 in the brain by 60%
06:27 allowing the fluid that circulates in the brain
06:30 called cerebrospinal fluid
06:32 to actually cleanse the brain.
06:34 And that then circulates the toxins out of the brain
06:38 into the liver to be detoxified.
06:41 And that occurs between the hours of 10 o'clock at night
06:44 and 2 o'clock in the morning. Wait a minute, now.
06:47 So this suggests... This suggests for us that
06:49 there is some sort of rhythm that is taking place.
06:53 There is some hardwiring that God has done in our bodies
06:58 that is at play. And when we are not
07:01 following that rhythm we can suffer from sickness?
07:06 Yes. What happens then is the brain never fully detoxifies.
07:11 As a consequence, it stays in the state of
07:14 chronic stress just from that alone.
07:17 Again with the stress. Yes. Um-hmm. Again with the stress.
07:20 So stress is a killer - a silent killer.
07:23 And a lot of the things that we're doing
07:25 are causing this stress to be activated. Yes.
07:29 I want to just check in with Dr. Palmer here
07:31 because we're looking at this whole idea of rest and sleep.
07:38 And you know, they're really kind of the same...
07:40 but we want to make that distinction between what
07:42 the two of them are, but what are some of the common things
07:45 that are preventing us from getting a good night's sleep
07:48 or rest? God wants us to rest.
07:50 It's interesting as you look over the course of time
07:53 going back say to 1925 teenagers were getting 7 to 9...
07:58 well, actually 8 to 9 hours of sleep every night.
08:01 Um-hmm. Nowadays that average is below 7 hours for teenagers.
08:06 Things have come along. The society that we are in...
08:09 you know we have work. Um-hmm. Of course the #1 sleep killer
08:13 if you will is television and the Internet
08:17 which is out there. We have some of the medicines that we take.
08:21 Um-hmm. Alcohol is also a big sleep killer.
08:26 But there are a lot of things that are out there.
08:28 And some people might not even think about it, but
08:30 as you look at the cycle that Dr. Said mentioned
08:35 the pineal gland, which is responsible primarily for
08:40 making melatonin, the fix it and rejuvenating hormone...
08:44 The way this process works: the daylight's important.
08:49 The sunlight is very important
08:51 because the way serotonin - he mentioned serotonin -
08:56 and that's a feel-good neurotransmitter. Um-hmm.
08:58 It needs tryptophan, which directly relates to the food
09:03 we eat. And so the food we eat is important
09:06 even to help us sleep.
09:08 And there are certain foods we know WILL keep you awake
09:11 and things that we... certain stimulants that we have
09:14 that will keep us awake. Coffee.
09:17 Coffee being a very big one.
09:19 Soda pop? Another big one. Yes.
09:22 So the food we eat also contributes to...
09:25 to how good of sleep we have and WHEN we eat the food
09:28 makes a big difference, too.
09:30 So if we have a nice, large cheese meat-lover's pizza -
09:34 uh-huh - just before bed we're probably not going to have
09:37 a good night's rest. Oh, that's a good thing to have
09:40 at night because it means that I as a cardiologist
09:43 will have a lot of work. Because it's going to have some
09:47 impact and repercussions on you heart health, isn't it?
09:50 It's going to have a lot of repercussions on your heart
09:51 health. It's not going to have you get a good night's sleep.
09:54 That's going to throw your entire system out of "whack. "
09:57 You keep doing this over a period of time
09:59 and it's only a matter of time before I see you in my ER.
10:05 Well, you know what? We always want to be fair
10:07 and balanced on this program so we hear from you.
10:10 And you know some people say: "Well that's what doctors say. "
10:13 And sometimes they believe what the six o'clock news says
10:16 more than anybody. So let's go to what the news says
10:20 and see if they have some insights... if they corroborate
10:22 what we're saying here. Let's take a look.
10:26 Dr. Josiane Broussard of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
10:29 was one of the researchers who found that not enough sleep
10:32 can increase the risk of obesity and type II diabetes.
10:36 What it could mean for people who are trying to lose weight
10:39 is that you might have more success if you are getting
10:41 adequate sleep. They studied the cells of healthy people
10:45 who got 8-1/2 hours of sleep
10:47 and then compared the results to a night of half that.
10:50 They found that after 4 nights of 4-1/2 hours of sleep
10:54 the subject's fat cells acted like those of someone
10:58 fifty pounds heavier.
11:00 What this study shows is that you can really have
11:02 metabolic defects at the tissue level
11:05 after not getting enough sleep.
11:07 Proving that being well rested isn't just beneficial
11:10 for cognitive function but for overall health.
11:13 The good news is after two nights of 12 hours of sleep
11:17 the subjects were able to reverse their risk for diabetes.
11:21 Diabetes? Hmm.
11:24 Are you serious? I mean, we're talking about not getting
11:27 enough rest or sleep and a person can become
11:31 a type-II diabetic. You'd better believe it. In fact,
11:34 there is a study by SPEGO - Impact of Sleep
11:37 and Sleep Loss - that shows that there is a 30% reduction
11:42 or lowering of the amount of insulin into the pancreas
11:46 or released from the pancreas.
11:48 And then there is a 40% drop in the sugar uptake
11:52 into the tissues, so these are all things that signal to us
11:56 that there is something going on on the metabolic level,
11:59 something dealing with the insulin and getting into the
12:03 tissue and so forth. And these are things associated
12:06 with type-II diabetes, right? Isn't that a scary thought?
12:10 Who would have "thunk" it? Not having sleep could contribute
12:13 to so many conditions... of which diabetes is one of them.
12:17 And we see this woman in this newsclip. She is getting the
12:20 exercise, right? So she's thinkin' healthy.
12:23 She's teaching healthy. But what she didn't know
12:26 was that because she wasn't getting enough rest
12:28 she could actually become a type-II diabetic. Right.
12:33 So, I mean, let's talk about that a little more.
12:35 And then I want to go back to the foods because, you know,
12:38 this is the one that people have a real hard time with:
12:41 food as it relates to getting rest. Um-hmm. Right?
12:45 Getting sleep. And I want to go look at the rhythm of rest.
12:47 So why is this happening? What the concern is here
12:51 is what's called metabolic syndrome - um-hmm -
12:54 which includes the tendency toward diabetes, obesity,
12:56 heart disease... and high blood pressure.
12:57 And high blood pressure! Hypertension accommodating
13:00 that same pattern. And so one of the triggers to that
13:04 around sleep is the issue of how the body reduces
13:07 inflammation when we sleep.
13:09 We mentioned 10 PM to 2 AM
13:12 is when the body cleanses the brain through the liver.
13:16 Secondly... by cleansing the blood.
13:19 Secondly, from 2 AM to 6 AM approximately
13:22 is when the cortisol... 2 AM to 6 AM...
13:24 2 AM to 6 AM, thank you,
13:26 is when the cortisol rhythm begins to rise.
13:29 And as it rises it starts to reduce the inflammation
13:33 through the body. If the body doesn't get that full resting
13:37 phase sleep then the inflammation can't reduce.
13:42 So we become progressively more and more inflamed
13:45 from previous stress affecting the cardiovascular system,
13:49 the joints, tissues in general.
13:52 So this is all contributory to metabolic syndrome,
13:55 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and obesity.
14:01 So it sounds to me like getting back to, you know,
14:06 God's original plan, His design,
14:08 man was to rest. Once the sun would begin to set
14:13 it was time to go to sleep. Why? Because when
14:18 it's dark, there are changes that take place - yes -
14:22 because the sunlight has gone. The serotonin, I guess,
14:25 is... well, it's synthesized into melatonin.
14:29 And melatonin is the sleep hormone that only happens
14:32 when it is dark. Is that correct? That's accurate.
14:36 And there's one other hormone I want to mention in the brain
14:39 called GABA. GABA? G-A-B-A.
14:42 GABA. That's gamma-aminobutyric acid. Yes.
14:45 Oh! That's GABA: the technical name. Um-hmm.
14:48 And GABA is the only inhibitory neurotransmitter
14:52 that's purely inhibitory... it relaxes the brain.
14:54 It relaxes the brain. When GABA is in short supply
14:57 from chronic stress, then the body tends toward a state
15:02 of anxiety and a person can't shut down their brain
15:06 from thinking. I see this in many many patients who are
15:10 sleep deprived. They try to go to sleep but the brain won't
15:13 shut down. This is especially in postmenopausal women.
15:18 So we work to create high levels of GABA.
15:22 Part of that is by having the last meal
15:25 three hours before bed.
15:27 Oh boy. So you're saying that one of the... the most effective
15:33 ways of dealing with that issue with the GABA - um-hmm -
15:38 is to regulate when the last meal is "had"
15:43 so that there is no disruption or interference?
15:46 Is that what we're saying? So that the brain is not
15:49 triggered with reduction of GABA.
15:52 With reduction of GABA? Yes. So when we eat plays a part
15:56 as we were talking about just before we moved to the clip.
15:59 So as a cardiologist - um-hmm - what?
16:02 What does it? Because the heart is all about rhythms, isn't it?
16:06 The heart is all about rhythm and the heart's also about rest.
16:09 Do you know that by the time you are 70 years of age
16:12 your heart will have opened and closed 2 billion times
16:17 with a B. Is that with a B? With a B. Wow!
16:19 How could anything work so hard for so long
16:24 without resting? It doesn't!
16:28 Because when you look at the heart there are two cycles
16:31 if you will. We call it systole and diastole.
16:34 Systole when it contracts; diastole when it "relaxes. "
16:38 So every other moment it is relaxing.
16:42 Every other moment it's relaxing.
16:44 That's how it gets to get two billion beats in and then some.
16:49 So there's resting and relaxing... that same pattern
16:52 that we see - um-hmm - that's, you know, almost like
16:55 in the microcosm. But on a macro level
16:58 our bodies need that same rhythm.
17:01 That's the exact point: your body is designed on a rhythm.
17:06 We call it... There are several rhythms that are going on.
17:09 The one that most people are familiar with is daily rhythm.
17:13 The evening and the morning. Is this the circadian rhythm?
17:16 Circadian rhythm. And that's regulated by the...
17:19 takes its signals from the daylight and night.
17:23 Sunlight is very important. The sunlight itself...
17:25 how does it actually work on a physiologic level?
17:28 That serotonin we are talking about?
17:30 It's made in three phases and one of the critical phases
17:33 is the sunlight. Not just light but natural light
17:39 from the sun. So artificial light won't do?
17:41 It will not do. It does not help that process.
17:44 Big lights? I mean like the kind in stadiums
17:46 where they create a daytime... almost?
17:49 Not going to work. Not going to work... OK.
17:51 It has to be the sunlight. Sunlight. And that has
17:54 a critical step for the serotonin and then that goes on
17:57 to melatonin. Now what some folks say: "Well,
17:59 forget all of that. I'll just take some melatonin pills. "
18:01 It's not the same.
18:04 Aah... now you've just introduced an idea here
18:06 because there's that supplementation.
18:09 A lot of people are going to lean upon supplementation
18:12 rather than going to the source. Yes. That's right.
18:15 We need to go to the source. OK... all right.
18:18 So it's the circadian rhythm. But I hear there are 5 rhythms?
18:23 Yes. Five rhythms in chrono- biology, the study of cycles
18:28 in life. The first is ultradian... less than a day.
18:32 The second is circadian... daily.
18:35 The third is a septadian system which is a 7-day cycle.
18:39 Septadian? Yes... a 7-day cycle.
18:42 Seven day cycle? Affecting especially the immune system.
18:45 That's why it takes a cold, for example, a week to recover.
18:48 And along those same lines around seven days you have
18:51 the point for organ rejection - yes - and tissue edema.
18:55 It's a very physiologically-based cycle.
18:59 And when you try to disrupt it...
19:01 Remember they tried in the French Revolution to go to
19:03 a 10-day cycle? And it didn't work, did it?
19:06 It says that the asylums were filled.
19:09 Crazy people! We're talking about that.
19:12 Well we don't like to use the word crazy, but there were some
19:14 serious mental disorders - yes - mental issues. Um-hmm.
19:18 You know, this is fascinating. Hold the thought because
19:20 we want to go and see what people think on the streets
19:23 and then we'll come back. We'll get our point of view,
19:25 get the news, and now we want to get it from the street
19:27 and then we'll come back and we'll wrap it up.
19:29 Let's... let's take a look.
19:32 All right, now sleep. A lot of people these days
19:34 are worried about sleep.
19:36 Do you ladies sleep? Yes. It depends.
19:40 Like in the daytime? In the daytime. A little power nap?
19:42 I have classes daytime... I don't have time to sleep.
19:45 She does not have time to sleep! Neither do you!
19:49 Life is way too important for sleep.
19:51 Yes. You go to sleep you don't make no money.
19:53 You don't make the money. Ladies and gentlemen,
19:55 if you want to pay your bills, you have to work...
19:57 so don't ever sleep. Good advice!
20:00 Do you like staying up late at night
20:02 watching your favorite show?
20:04 Eating on some nachos? Yummy!
20:06 Not too much. I'm still usually asleep by 10:30-11 PM.
20:10 10:30 PM? Then the day is just beginning.
20:12 Hmm. The best shows come on after 11 PM.
20:16 I only sleep when I have nothing to do
20:18 or like when it's late at night. There you go.
20:20 There you go. If I have something to do, then
20:23 I'm awake. Stay awake! Just keep burning the midnight oil.
20:26 Burning it 3 AM, 6 AM, 9 AM.
20:28 Stay awake. Max knows what he's talking about here.
20:32 Most people say they want sleep but they really don't.
20:36 They'd rather be out partying and hanging out with friends
20:39 at night. You know, sleep isn't that important
20:43 when you're having fun. Back to you, Rico.
20:49 As we can see, rest is not all that important to the general
20:53 population, is it? I mean people are spending their time,
20:57 they're doing things at night, they're on their computers,
20:59 they're, you know... they just don't place much value
21:03 on rest. And just before we went to them
21:07 we were talking about there is a weekly cycle
21:10 and Dr. Palmer, you pointed out that in history we saw
21:14 that, you know, our traditional 7-day week
21:17 which God instituted at the beginning of creation
21:21 was attempted to somehow be circumvented.
21:24 And it was a 10-day week. Imagine that?
21:27 A national experiment: the 10-day week.
21:31 It went very poorly, didn't it? Did not turn out good.
21:33 And no one has tried it since. But in spite of that
21:36 most people don't appreciate that there are wonderful things
21:40 that take place in this seven day cycle.
21:44 And I want to just kind of bring those out because
21:46 rest is a cycle... there's a rhythm there.
21:49 We looked at it all the way down to the heart level.
21:52 And you were mentioning just before we broke
21:54 that there is a 7-day cycle in terms of the immune function.
21:59 Um-hmm. Let's talk about that just a little more because
22:02 I think people need to hear because we believe that you
22:05 should go seven days and then rest on the seventh
22:09 and follow that cycle.
22:10 So people need to see that there is more than just
22:14 "Oh, we think it's a good idea. "
22:16 But physiologically something's happening, right?
22:18 That's very correct. Something is happening that
22:22 goes to the core of who we are as human beings.
22:25 We were designed for the daily rest and also for
22:29 the weekly rest. And when we get away from this
22:33 something happens to us physiologically. Um-hmm.
22:36 Wow! So what we have seen here is
22:38 that there are things that are taking place not only on the...
22:42 on the physiological level, not only as we look at the
22:46 daily sleep cycle but there's a weekly cycle.
22:49 And there were some thoughts that you were sharing also
22:52 about the cortisol and the insulin.
22:54 Because we saw in a newsclip that there's something with the
22:57 insulin that's affecting peoples' health
23:02 and turning people into diabetics. That's right.
23:04 Then there's also the two other rhythms: lunar and solar.
23:07 But I want to focus on this circadian pattern.
23:10 At night as the cortisol levels are rising
23:15 they are supposed to rise slowly
23:17 to reduce inflammation.
23:18 The problem occurs when the adrenals start to exhaust
23:21 over time and a life of stress and poor sleep and poor diet
23:25 and no exercise, etc.
23:26 Then what occurs is the cortisol starts to surge at night
23:31 and it triggers the release of sugar -
23:34 glucose - by tearing down protein.
23:37 Then insulin has to surge behind it so that that excess
23:41 glucose is taken up by the cells. Otherwise it circulates
23:45 and does damage to the cells of the vascular system
23:48 especially. When we get this cortisol then insulin surge
23:53 we're as if we're in a sympathetic dominant mode
23:56 which is fight or flight.
23:58 Like if a bear is chasing us. Exactly.
24:00 As if we're being chased by a bear in the middle of the night.
24:02 We wake up with a start from 1:30 AM to 2:30 AM
24:05 typically and we say: "What happened? "
24:07 Um-hmm. And we can't get back to sleep
24:10 because the adrenals are fatigued and the cortisol
24:12 doesn't ramp back down. So recovery is important.
24:16 Sleep is ESSENTIAL to that adrenal recovery.
24:21 So, though, in all this people are wondering:
24:24 "Well when should I sleep? "
24:25 So why don't we take the last few moments that we have,
24:27 in fact we have a short amount of time,
24:29 but let's look at very briefly
24:32 what's a good time to get to bed?
24:34 Asleep by 10 PM. No later than 10 o'clock.
24:37 No later than 10 PM. And how many hours should we get
24:40 to sleep? How many hours should we sleep?
24:42 What's the latest in science?
24:44 The scientists will be saying seven to eight hours.
24:46 But actually the curve goes if you get less than six
24:49 you're... shorter lifespan.
24:51 If you get greater than ten... the same.
24:54 So it's important to get to bed before midnight then?
24:57 Yes. Which a lot of people don't do.
24:59 And as you are pointing out really an hour's sleep before
25:01 midnight is worth two hours afterwards.
25:04 Really? Please say that again because that's... that's...
25:08 How does that go? Now how does that work?
25:09 For every hour of sleep we get before midnight
25:12 it's equivalent to two hours of sleep after midnight.
25:15 And in fact, that sleep is unrecoverable.
25:20 Wow! So if you go to bed after...
25:23 'Cause people will say: "Well I need to sleep today
25:25 because I have to make up for all the sleep I didn't get. "
25:27 You can't make it up? Can't make it up.
25:29 You can't make it up. No. But as we get sleep
25:32 the body takes full advantage of that.
25:34 That's how we're designed by our Creator so that we can
25:37 recover from the issues we've created in our life prior.
25:41 So He has given us rest not only daily but He has given us
25:45 a weekly rest - yes - to recover. Um-hmm.
25:48 Oh friends, we should be looking to get the rest that
25:52 God has given us every night.
25:54 We should be looking for the rest that He gives us
25:56 every week. In summary, it is important
26:00 for us to rest in Him.
26:07 You know, we've learned a lot of things today
26:10 including just how important rest is to God
26:15 and to the human body. We've learned that
26:18 God designed the body that it should actually go into
26:21 a rest... whether that is daily or even weekly.
26:26 In fact, He's placed something inside of the human body
26:29 called their circadian rhythm.
26:32 Now this is a rhythm that takes its cues by day and night.
26:36 So God wants us when the sun sets to be sleeping.
26:42 Did you know that only the beasts according to the Bible
26:46 are actually walking around looking for prey at night?
26:49 You know, while we're sleeping
26:52 the body does amazing things detoxing the body
26:55 and repairing and actually refreshing the entire system
27:00 for the next day. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:02 Come on... you're making my people sleepy with all this
27:05 boring knowledge. You're taking away all their fun.
27:08 You don't want them to stay up at night?
27:09 Why do you think we invented light bulbs?
27:12 Well I have to say I believe that because of
27:15 the evidence and the clear information that has been shared
27:18 in this program today I think we're going to see
27:20 some changes. Ah, ha, ha! You are so naive!
27:23 Maybe so. People live their lives. That's why we have
27:26 light bulbs so we can stay up at night.
27:29 That's why my people work the graveyard shift
27:32 and then they sleep all day long.
27:35 I actually know that what we have shared
27:38 in terms of how God desires us to have a rest -
27:42 not only a daily rest but a weekly rest -
27:47 is going to make a difference in somebody's life.
27:50 God wants us to be healthy.
27:52 You know, He's promised us that if we would follow His blueprint
27:57 none of the diseases that He put on the Egyptians
28:00 would affect us. And did you know? They had diabetes.
28:03 By not getting enough sleep we've shared today
28:07 you can actually become a diabetic.
28:11 Well... that's our program for today.
28:14 And as always I leave you with this:
28:16 Ill John 2: "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou
28:20 mayest prosper and be in health. "
28:23 I'm Rico Hill... and I'm the blue guy.
28:25 Maranatha. Be well.
