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. |
