00:43 Hi, I'm Dr. Kim and welcome to Live to be Well.
00:48 Our special guest today is Mr. Franz Mentor. 00:52 And he is a certified athletic trainer. 00:55 Welcome, Franz, to Live to be Well. 00:57 How are you doing? 00:58 Man, I'm doing absolutely fantastic, 01:01 Dr. Kim, before we start it, I got a special treat for you. 01:04 All right, let me... What is it? 01:05 Hey, it's your boy, Franz, Mr. Boom into hell, 01:08 he is dropping the boom, baby. 01:10 Boom. 01:12 Did you feel it? 01:14 Who's happy to be alive today, are you? 01:15 I'm happy. 01:16 All right. All right. 01:18 I'm a little bit in shock, but I'm happy. 01:19 All right? It's the Lord. 01:20 It's the Lord. Awesome. 01:22 Tell me about this boom, what is this all about? 01:23 Well, the boom emprises on the energy, 01:28 the explosion that's within me 01:30 that the Lord has placed upon my heart and on my life. 01:34 The Lord has given me my wife and two beautiful kids, 01:38 all the more reason for me to drop the boom, 01:40 I'm feeling healthy and to being well, 01:42 so that's what the boom means to me. 01:44 All right, well, how did this journey began with you 01:47 becoming so involved with, 01:49 you know, fitness because we're here 01:51 to talk about "live to be fit." 01:53 Tell us about that? 01:55 Well, it all started actually from... 01:58 When I was a young lad coming up. 02:01 We came from Guyana, South America to United States. 02:04 I was born in Essequibo, Guyana, 02:06 and then when we came to United States, 02:09 learning different sports and learning different things, 02:12 it was one teacher 02:13 who really took his arm around me, 02:16 his name is the late Arthur Strawbridge 02:18 when I went to Peterson-Warren Academy... 02:19 Yes. 02:20 And he really showed me 02:22 how to run, how to exercise, and he made everything fun, 02:27 and that just continued on through... 02:30 All the way through high school and in college and to now 02:33 I want to do more for my health 02:35 and to help others to be well and healthy as well. 02:37 Okay, listen, you know, I'm all in my fitness gear, 02:40 and I'm looking good, you know, but... 02:41 All right. 02:42 How many people get, 02:44 you know, they get to the point they're looking good, 02:45 but they don't do anything with it, 02:46 why is it such a challenge for us to be fit? 02:48 Why? 02:49 Well, you know, the instant thing is... 02:53 I have a working theory in my head 02:55 when it comes to what stops us, 02:57 and I think that sometimes 02:59 that we could just turn the TV off a little bit 03:02 because you're in a date 03:03 with so many different high-end restaurants, 03:06 different fast foods restaurants, 03:07 you got all these cooking shows, 03:09 you got... 03:10 As you drive you see 03:12 all these different restaurants advertising... 03:13 Mm-mm, yes. 03:14 And you're just constantly bombarded 03:16 with food, food, food, food, food, 03:18 and so when you go home, 03:19 you say I want to order from that place, 03:21 I want to do this and that. 03:23 So if we were to really take the time really turn that 03:27 or try to unplug if you will... 03:28 Unplug, all right. 03:30 That will help us really 03:31 try to turn the tide as far as that 03:34 but the desire to workout 03:36 is not one that most people have. 03:38 And what I find is 03:40 when you surround yourself with people 03:41 who are fired up, 03:43 people who are motivated to make this a lifestyle. 03:45 All right. 03:46 This isn't a diet, that's the thing. 03:48 It's a lifestyle change. It's a lifestyle change. 03:49 Right. 03:51 And so it's really encircling around people 03:53 who are motivated, 03:54 you tuning down or tuning off 03:57 all the information with the food... 03:59 Yes. 04:00 And then just saying to yourself, 04:02 praying to yourself... 04:03 And to the Lord be like listen, 04:05 I have to get this done, 04:07 Lord, can you send somebody my way to fire me up 04:10 and Mr. Boom can do it. 04:11 Yeah, Mr. Boom can do it. 04:13 But look at our schedules today, 04:14 you know, we work long hours, 04:16 we get in, it's late, and you're hungry, 04:19 what are you supposed to do? 04:20 What am I supposed to eat? 04:21 Well, interesting enough, it starts with planning. 04:25 If we're working these long hours 04:26 and working these long days, 04:29 we really need to put a lot of time in the prep. 04:31 Oh, perfectly. 04:33 So sometimes, during the weekend, 04:34 we could actually prep to get our vegetables, 04:37 you get our fruits, 04:39 and all these grains and nuts lined up 04:41 so that you could have it prepackaged 04:44 throughout your day. 04:46 Now somebody may be saying Mr. Boom, 04:48 that's a lot of work, and my answer is yes. 04:51 Yes. Yes, it is. 04:52 It is a lot of work 04:54 but don't you want to plan to make sure 04:55 that you are putting all the ingredients 04:57 that you know 04:59 that you could spell and pronounce into your body... 05:01 Okay, okay. 05:02 Instead of taking the chance going some place else, 05:05 why not you take 05:06 what God created that we know is good... 05:09 That's healthy. 05:10 That's healthy, and stack that and plan that. 05:13 And you'll be in a winning situation. 05:15 Well, let me ask you, 05:16 you know, let's talk about your military background. 05:19 You were in the military? Yes. 05:21 And how did this impact your fitness there? 05:25 You know, you went in already fit, 05:27 and did you incorporate that? 05:29 Did you help people in the military? 05:31 Yes, interesting enough, 05:32 I spend 10 years in the military. 05:34 I was a Black Hawk pilot, 05:35 three combat tours to Iraq in five years. 05:37 Wow! 05:38 And I had an opportunity to command men 05:41 and women up to 125 people. 05:44 And when I inherited the company, 05:48 the company was not really excelling 05:50 on the personal fitness side. 05:53 You know, the military need to be academic, 05:55 you need to be on fit to fight and to serve, 05:58 and you need to be fit to do the mission. 06:01 Yes. 06:03 And so, we turned that thing around, 06:05 we changed... 06:06 We upped our percentage like 15%. 06:08 Really? 06:10 We had a high failure rate, 06:11 and we turned that thing around, 06:12 but I would say 06:14 that I had a great amount of people 06:16 that was surrounding me... 06:17 Yes, yes. To do that. 06:19 And so it's like a three tier, 06:23 you got to have mental, physical, and spiritual. 06:25 Oh, yes. 06:26 And the spiritual side is staying in the word 06:28 and studying, 06:29 but that physical side, if you are down, 06:32 if you are out, if you're not fit, 06:34 it is tough to win. 06:36 And without the fitness, 06:38 primarily with the spiritual fitness 06:40 I must say. 06:41 Yes, yes. 06:42 But the physical fitness 06:44 and inspiring other people to get fit, 06:47 that's how you win long term, 06:49 and that's how I decided to really make this 06:51 into a more of a greater lifestyle 06:53 of helping others. 06:54 You know, I always wanted to do a 5K, you know... 06:56 We can do one. 06:57 Ooh, okay, really, you can get me ready for that? 06:59 I can get you ready. 07:00 How do you get a person ready for a 5K? 07:02 Well, interesting enough, it starts in your mind. 07:04 All right. 07:05 The first thing, that's where you win. 07:06 You'd win by saying and visualizing yourself, 07:10 almost closing your eyes if you will, 07:12 help yourself at the start line, midway... 07:15 I see it. And through the finish line. 07:16 I see it. Well, do you see it? 07:17 I see it. Well, it is done. 07:19 I don't know if I'm crossing that line, 07:20 but I see it, all right. 07:21 All you need to have is a faith of a mustard seed. 07:23 Mustard seed, all right. 07:24 Mustard seed faith, and you can move mountains, 07:27 and that mountain could be that 5K. 07:29 Really? Is it a timeline with the 5K? 07:31 You know, you got so many hours to do it? 07:33 Well, with the 5K, you could run... 07:35 Is it five hours? No. 07:37 You pretty much... I could do it in five hours. 07:39 It's just 3.1 miles. Oh, that's not bad. 07:41 Or we could say it's only 3.1 miles. 07:43 I like that. I like that. 07:44 You want like the only or the just. 07:46 It's only. That only 3.1. 07:49 So we design a program, I do a lot of running, 07:52 we could come from the couch, 2 or 5K. 07:55 But, you know, but I have an injury... 07:58 Okay. My patella. 07:59 And, you know, I can tell you when it's gonna rain, it snows, 08:03 so we have to work around that, 08:05 but it's still possible for me to do that 5K? 08:07 There are workaround. 08:09 So if you have a injury right there, 08:11 I will ask you to go see your doctor to make sure 08:14 that you're wearing the proper sleeve, 08:15 the proper protection, 08:17 and then what we'll do instantly 08:18 is we need to put you on another surface 08:21 'cause sometimes, when you walk on concrete, 08:23 it causes more jarring to there. 08:24 Really? 08:26 The surface where I like to walk on the most, 08:28 and your husband, 08:30 your late husband loved to walk on this surface 08:31 a whole lot... 08:33 Yeah. 08:34 That's the golf course. Yeah. 08:35 The golf course is one of the best surfaces 08:38 to walk for your knee. 08:39 You got path dirt, you got track, you got trail, 08:43 and concrete is definitely the last resort 08:46 if you have issues with your leg. 08:48 Maybe I'll start playing golf. It would just be so tickle. 08:51 Now what about my gym shoes, are they good? 08:52 Are these good walking gym shoes? 08:54 Well, based on the tread of these shoes, 08:57 I will say this is more per lines for trail, 09:00 these shoes I have one right now, 09:01 based on the grip pattern, that's more per line for trail 09:04 for more of a different type of surface. 09:06 Well, I bought them 09:07 because I thought they were cute. 09:09 Well. And that's my favorite color. 09:10 Well, you are matching quite well, Dr. Kim. 09:11 I like to coordinate, you know, they say, 09:13 you know, you look good, you're gonna feel good. 09:15 Absolutely. All right. 09:16 Absolutely. 09:18 You know, so all right, 09:19 so these things are all possible. 09:20 Now let's talk about your 4C program. 09:23 What is that all about? Okay, the 4C program. 09:26 This 4C program is given to me 09:29 from the Lord in 2009 in December. 09:32 The 4C stands for, 09:33 if you don't mind repeating after me, 09:34 stands for courage. 09:36 Courage. 09:37 The next C stands for companionship. 09:38 Companionship. 09:40 The next C stands for consistency. 09:41 Consistency. 09:43 And the next C stands for commitment. 09:44 Commitment. 09:46 Now the Lord gave these to me 09:47 'cause I was inspiring a group of Adventist down at Dothan, 09:51 Alabama to take charge of their health, right? 09:52 Yes. 09:54 And so the Lord showed me 09:55 there are Bible characters in the Bible 09:58 that not only can we gain inspiration 10:01 from on how to follow the Lord, 10:04 but we can also look at how they lived their life 10:07 to put us on a path of success for health and wellness. 10:11 Yes. 10:12 So when I think of Peter... Okay. 10:14 I think of Peter having the courage to walk on water. 10:16 Yes. 10:17 Now it's just like sometimes 10:18 we need to have the courage 10:20 to open up the front door to go outside. 10:21 Oh, yes, yes. 10:22 The courage to decide to eat right. 10:24 Peter took that risk... 10:26 Yes, he did. 10:27 He saw the Lord, he called Him, and he walked on water. 10:29 And then there is Ruth and Naomi. 10:31 Okay. 10:32 I mean the daughter-in-law, 10:34 she decided I will not leave you 10:35 no matter what. 10:37 Yes. 10:38 She even had permission to leave. 10:39 Come on now. 10:41 But she decided to stay. Yes, she did. 10:43 And she was blessed because of that. 10:45 But she didn't stay for the blessing 10:47 but what about having the companion 10:50 through thick and thin. 10:52 Where you go, I go, where you die, I die. 10:54 My, my, my. 10:56 Where you workout, I workout. Oh, yeah. 10:57 Where you run, I run. Oh, yeah. 10:58 To gym, you go, I go too. How powerful is that? 11:02 That is powerful, you know, 11:04 never looked at it like that in a relationship 11:06 with her mother-in-law, that's good. 11:07 Absolutely. All right. 11:09 And then you got Enoch, he walked with God. 11:10 Oh, yes, he did. He never wavered. 11:12 Yeah. Talking about the consistency. 11:14 Now you got to have the courage to get started 11:17 or else you'll never have the consistency... 11:18 You'll never have the consistency. 11:19 And sometimes, 11:21 when you have a friend there with you... 11:22 Yes, it's encouraging. 11:23 It's encouraging and the walk is more bearable at times, 11:26 then you got to have that consistency, 11:28 that's far as consistency. 11:29 Yes. 11:30 And then you got commitment. Commitment. 11:32 And one of my greatest stories in a Bible, 11:34 one of my favorite Bible characters is Noah. 11:38 Noah had this case when he was 500 years old. 11:41 My, my, my. Unbelievable. 11:42 And Noah, the Lord told Noah to build an ark. 11:45 Yes. 11:46 And so, let me fast forward this story a little bit, 11:48 so he built a ark after all these years, 11:52 and then all of a sudden, 11:53 the Lord commanded or gave direction 11:55 for all these animals to come into the ark. 11:57 Yes. 11:58 Now I could just imagine 12:00 when Noah was building this ark, 12:01 people were saying, Noah, come on... 12:02 Yes, yes. 12:04 It never rained, it'll never happen. 12:05 And why you have your sons out here laboring with you... 12:07 Yeah. 12:08 That's right, that's right, in the hot sun. 12:10 In the hot sun, 12:11 but they kept on working 12:13 and the animals were going towards the ark. 12:15 Those were signs, stick with me now, Dr. Kim... 12:17 Come on now. 12:19 Those were signs given to the people there 12:22 as to what's to come. 12:24 Yes. 12:25 Okay, you might have missed it, but here's the deal, 12:27 those signs are when you go to the doctor... 12:29 Yes, yes. 12:30 The doctor said you may have high blood pressure, 12:33 or you do have high blood pressure. 12:34 Your A1c is high, 14, 12:36 you have all these issues, 12:38 with that back pain, that knee pain, 12:40 you need to change your diet, you need to eat better, 12:42 you need to walk more. 12:43 These were the signs 12:45 that those animals going to the ark where those people 12:48 could have said to themselves wait a minute, Noah... 12:49 Something's about to happen. 12:51 Something's about to happen because... 12:52 And they missed it. 12:54 This never happened before, but they never made the move. 12:57 Didn't connect it. Didn't connect the two. 12:59 And so finally, they came on the ark, 13:01 the Lord shut the door, 13:03 and they was on the ark for seven days 13:05 before the rain came. 13:06 Now I can even imagine all that people telling him, 13:09 telling him, Noah, you're crazy, 13:10 you and your ark with those animals... 13:12 Right, right, right, right, right, right. 13:13 You tell me, how many days are you gonna stay in there, 13:15 but Noah had faith, he stayed in the home. 13:17 And that commitment. 13:18 And then the Lord opened up the heavens and the... 13:21 Then the rain started to come. Stay it, say it. 13:23 And then they started trying to come in. 13:25 Right. Then they wanted to come in. 13:26 But it was too late. 13:27 But it was too late, 13:29 but we're going a little bit further on, 13:30 so the rains came and they're on the boat, 13:32 and they're rocking it from side to side, 13:35 but I will tell you, the Bible says 13:37 that nobody jumped out of the ark. 13:39 No one? No one. 13:40 They stayed on that ark. They stayed on the ark. 13:41 Mm-hmm. 13:43 Now, Dr. Kim, I'm quite sure 13:44 the boat had to be going like this... 13:45 Oh, yes. Oh, yes. I mean all that rain. 13:48 But they stayed committed. 13:49 So somebody had the courage to get started. 13:51 Yes. 13:52 And they had their friend with them. 13:53 Yes. And they were consistent. 13:55 And now they want to be more committed. 13:57 And now they started their program 13:59 for seven days and I've seen results. 14:01 And there friends that's teasing him. 14:03 You eating them fruits and vegetables. 14:05 Fruits and vegetables. 14:06 You haven't lost all that weight. 14:08 Day two, oh, you haven't lost all these pounds yet 14:11 you've been doing this for five, six days. 14:13 Right, right. 14:15 Seven days. Right. 14:16 No change, the rain came. Yeah. 14:17 All those days the rain is constantly. 14:19 Mm-hmm. 14:20 You're gonna have work, you're gonna have school, 14:22 you're gonna have kids... 14:24 All kind of obstacles. All these different obstacles. 14:25 Yes. 14:27 So I'm telling you, 14:28 you stay on the program to win, don't quit. 14:30 They could have said, you know what? 14:32 I'm just gonna jump out of the boat... 14:34 And give up. 14:35 Because my odds are better outside of the boat. 14:38 What I'm letting everybody know today is 14:40 your odds are better staying on that program... 14:42 Come on now. 14:44 Staying on what the doctor have you to do. 14:45 Yes. 14:46 And most importantly, staying with the Lord. 14:48 Staying with the Lord. 14:49 That's what that ark represents. 14:51 Safety in the Lord, staying on that plan. 14:54 So the ark rested, 14:56 the Lord blessed with the rainbow, 14:58 He said never again. 14:59 Never again. 15:01 But you have to get the courage to get started for. 15:04 Get started. 15:06 And that's what this thing is about, 15:07 getting people fired up, getting people motivated 15:10 where they say they want to make the change, 15:12 and we're here to provide different tools 15:13 to help them get there. 15:14 Well, all right. 15:16 Well, listen, 15:17 we have some little tools that we're gonna use, 15:19 so are you ready? 15:20 I always get, let's go. All right. 15:22 I'm ready. All right. 15:23 I'm gonna get my band, you get your band. 15:25 Okay. Okay. 15:26 Now what do I do with this? 15:29 So this is called a resistance band. 15:33 This is a resistance band. 15:34 Okay, so this is how we're gonna do it. 15:36 So at home, this is what you do, 15:38 you take this band... 15:39 All righty. 15:41 You shove it underneath your thigh, 15:42 then you sit up... 15:44 Sit up. 15:45 And let it go right there, 15:46 right there where your hip socket is. 15:48 Is it good? Is it good? 15:49 Yes, go back just a little bit more. 15:50 Little bit, little more. All right. 15:52 So before we get started with these bands, 15:53 we could all just do a general warm up 15:54 without the bands, 15:56 just raising your hands up and down, 15:58 you know, it'll get the blood flowing 16:00 because right now we could be watching TV, 16:03 have a little commercial break, or whatever... 16:04 Yes. 16:06 And so now we're all set, we're all warmed up. 16:07 We're all warmed up. 16:09 So we're gonna grab the band... 16:10 Grab. 16:11 You want this handle to be right there 16:13 in the middle... 16:14 Just right there, then grab over the top. 16:15 Yeah. 16:17 Grab right there, hand over the top. 16:18 Yes. 16:19 And so you're gonna allow 16:21 the band to come right there over, 16:22 right there where your hinge joint 16:24 where your elbow is. 16:25 Called the hinge joint? Yeah, that's your hinge joint. 16:26 Didn't know that. 16:28 All right. All right. 16:29 And so we're all set-up. 16:30 So now... 16:32 Yes. 16:33 Watch me now on the first demonstration. 16:34 That was my pleasure to watch. 16:36 We're gonna do one, 16:37 and we're gonna alternate the hands. 16:39 All right. 16:40 So we're gonna punch straight up. 16:41 Punch straight up. 16:43 Straight up, right there above my ear. 16:44 Yes. See how my elbow is locked out? 16:45 But you've had a more experience, all right. 16:47 And then you're gonna come straight down. 16:48 Straight down. 16:50 Yeah, I'm gonna demonstrate the other one. 16:51 All right. There you go, straight up... 16:52 Yes. And straight down. 16:54 So the resistance goes... Right. 16:55 Up and it goes down, 16:57 so when you get ready to come down, 16:58 control it, don't let it fly down. 17:00 Don't let it fly down. 17:01 We're gonna take good care of our arm, 17:03 and our shoulders, and our elbows. 17:04 Yeah. All right. 17:06 I'll do with you, Dr. Kim. You ready? Ready? All right. 17:07 All right, let's go. This is the triceps and biceps. 17:10 Man, we are working that, 17:11 we're also working our deltoids, 17:13 we're also working our rhombus, all right here in our back. 17:16 Well, all right, that's the key. 17:18 Because sometimes, people, 17:19 they'll be on the computers at these beautiful jobs 17:22 that they sit down a lot... 17:23 They have a tendency to scrunch over like this. 17:25 Oh, yes. Yes. 17:27 And so what happens is that muscle 17:29 in the back becomes inactive... 17:30 Oh, it becomes inactive. 17:32 And so in order to keep it active, 17:33 we sit up nice and tall. 17:34 Yes. 17:36 And you're pushing straight up... 17:37 Straight up. Am I straight here? 17:38 Right above your ears. Straight? 17:40 I think we're good, let's try the other arm. 17:42 Okay, okay. Here we go.

I have like five or six bands. 18:12 And then you would do like three to five sets, 18:15 anywhere between 10 to 18 reps. 18:18 Is that right? 18:19 And you'll be resting anywhere 18:21 from 0 to 90 seconds between sets. 18:22 All right, well, let's do 10.

Yes. 19:31 All right. 19:33 So to anyone who wants to get started, 19:37 this is a starting point. 19:38 That is a starting point. That is a beautiful... 19:40 And how many times a week, three times a week? 19:43 Well, you could do this like 19:44 about three to five times a week 19:46 because it's so low-impact. 19:48 Yes, yes. All right. Yeah. 19:50 I love this. I love the color. 19:52 They come in green? They come in green... 19:54 But that's the next level. 19:56 Yeah, the next level, maybe you'll have this, 19:58 it maybe a little bit more challenging, 20:00 but, you know, but it has all these different colors 20:03 where you got green, you got yellow, 20:04 you got red, you got purple, you got black. 20:07 I want to graduate. 20:08 I want to move into that 'cause black is serious. 20:11 The black is serious. That's serious, all right. 20:13 I'm just excited, 20:15 you know, how, we as a people of Seventh-day Adventist, 20:19 what do we need to do, 20:20 you know, you talked about the Daniel diet, 20:22 what do we need to do, you know. 20:24 And if I could just give a short testimony, 20:26 I was going to the gym everyday... 20:28 Personal trainer, four days a week and... 20:32 But I would go home, 20:34 and even though I was vegetarian, 20:35 I was still eating that, 20:37 you know, apple cobbler and two bean burgers... 20:40 Oh, man. 20:41 Macaroni cheese, candy yam, 20:44 so when my late husband became ill, 20:47 I was juicing with him... 20:48 Okay, and the Lord spoke to me, "Go, vegan." 20:51 And within 10, 11 months of his illness, 20:55 the process, the weight just came off. 20:57 Wow! 20:59 And now I'm using, 21:00 you know tofu, beans, and eliminated the bread, 21:04 I really tried to... 21:07 Lots of water, water. 21:09 How important is water for our fitness? 21:12 Man, I'll tell you when it comes to water, 21:15 I mean right... 21:17 As soon as you wake up in the morning... 21:18 Yes. 21:19 I have my water set to the side at room temperature. 21:22 Really? Right there set to the side. 21:23 Room temperature is better than cold? 21:25 For me, it is, especially, when I wake up in the morning 21:28 because your body has been working all night. 21:30 While you're sleeping, 21:32 the Lord, He keeps our heart going, 21:33 our liver's doing this job, our kidneys... 21:35 That's true. 21:36 All these things are working, 21:38 so the temperate side 21:39 of not really eating too late... 21:41 Give your body time to recover. That's true. 21:44 And then the body's been working and working, 21:46 and then the first thing you do 21:47 when you wake up in the morning, 21:49 you pray, and then the body is saying like 21:50 I need some water and just take that water, 21:53 and that's an excellent start to move digestion, 21:56 the whole process. 21:57 But water, absolutely important. 22:00 Ironically enough, 22:01 there's a lot of water around the world, 22:04 and our body is more than 50% of water. 22:07 Right. That's right. 22:08 So instantly, I'm thinking 22:10 I'm gonna chose water over any other beverage. 22:13 Yes. 22:15 Because water is that paramount. 22:16 It's interesting enough 22:18 when you talk about the things when it comes to water, 22:21 I think about a story of Daniel and this is our bonus C. 22:27 It's on consumption and the water is so powerful 22:30 because when Daniel 22:32 was taken captive with his three friends, 22:34 he said he wasn't gonna eat the king's food in Daniel 1. 22:38 And he had the chief of the courts... 22:40 Right. 22:41 He's like I need to do what we normally get... 22:44 What we normally do. Right. 22:46 And he said for 10 days, let me just drink water... 22:49 And eat healthy, got vegetables, 22:52 and all those healthy things. 22:54 And then in 10 days... In 10 days. 22:57 Daniel was... 22:59 And his friends were smart, they were bright, 23:01 and so they kept him on the diet. 23:04 And then three years later, when the king looked at them, 23:07 they were 10 times better, they were smarter, 23:10 they were wiser... 23:11 And they were stronger. 23:13 They were stronger, so the Bible is showing us 23:15 what is the best way, it's happy way. 23:18 And you said something to me, 23:20 you said we could just give 10 days 23:21 to this process. 23:23 Ten days. 23:24 You know, it would just be a manifestation of our life. 23:27 Absolutely, the Bible showed that 10 days, 23:30 Daniel had that's planned, that he acts for 10 days. 23:34 And then the chief of the court was risking his life. 23:37 Risking his life. 23:38 He going against the king doing your own thing. 23:41 And so if we take 10 days... 23:43 To say that I will eat the grains with the rice. 23:46 I would try these beans. 23:48 I would take these leafy greens or the carrots, 23:52 and I will just remove any other beverage 23:55 and just continue to drink my water 23:57 for 10 days. 23:58 Ten days. 23:59 I promise you, 24:01 not because of what Mr. Boom says, 24:04 it's because what is written in the Word. 24:06 In the Word of God. You will get amazing results. 24:11 It's not me, it's in the Bible, Daniel 1. 24:14 It's clear. Give the Lord 10 days. 24:17 So your relationship with God 24:18 is just paramount in this whole process. 24:20 I mean it's absolutely everything. 24:24 It's absolutely everything because the issue is, 24:26 you know, a couple of years ago, 24:28 three of my good friends died 24:30 within a 90-day time period of a heart related disease. 24:34 Wow. 24:36 And they were married, and they had kids, 24:38 and I said to myself, 24:41 Franz, am I doing everything 24:42 what I can do to help the masses. 24:45 The Lord gave this to me as a thing to communicate 24:49 and to minister, am I doing enough? 24:52 And I said to myself, I can do more. 24:55 You can do more. I can do more. 24:57 And so this is what I'm doing. Yes. 25:00 Doing more. 25:01 You know, rest is important too, 25:03 that we get enough rest. 25:05 That's something that I'm guilty of. 25:06 I'll just work myself, 25:08 work myself trying to serve others and, 25:11 but I must take care of myself, 25:12 and that's one of the eight principles 25:14 of health to rest, 25:16 and so how important is rest to our diet? 25:18 Well, rest is very, very important 25:21 if we're working out, 25:22 and we're lifting weights, our body breaks down, 25:25 and we take a good healthy protein 25:27 that's in beans, 25:29 there's protein also in fruits by the way. 25:31 You take this good protein, and then you rest. 25:34 And the body... 25:36 What the body does at night... 25:38 Yes. 25:39 The Lord designed it for us to rest at night. 25:43 Yes. 25:44 So that He could get our bodies rebuilding these tissues, 25:48 rebuilding the muscles, 25:50 and it would not work properly or as effective 25:55 if we do not have the proper rest. 25:58 And so for me, that's also a challenge for me, 26:00 but I said to myself let me start with six hours. 26:03 Six hours. 26:05 Sometimes, I get sometimes five hours of sleep. 26:07 Even I got to practice what I preach 26:09 but as I get six hours, 26:10 and I see how I could rest sometimes during the day 26:14 if possible like 30 minutes 26:15 in between of my lunch break of different things. 26:19 The body knows it when you get that proper rest. 26:22 Sometimes, when you finally get a length of rest, 26:25 you seem like you're little bit more tired... 26:26 Yes. 26:28 And that's the body telling you, 26:29 it's like listen, 26:30 the reason why you're more tired 26:32 is because this is what you need more of... 26:33 And then eventually, 26:35 the body will change from surviving on four hours 26:39 to excelling with eight. 26:41 With eight. 26:43 Well, this has been a lot of good information, 26:45 I'm excited. 26:46 I'm going to pull out my resistant bands 26:48 that I have already in my closet... 26:50 Okay. And start using them. 26:53 And I just want to encourage everyone 26:55 to take a good look at your health. 26:57 Take a good look at the time that you're spending 27:00 where you could be doing more to be a healthier person. 27:05 We need to live to be fit... Absolutely. 27:08 So that we can do the work of the Lord. 27:11 And I'm guilty of not getting enough rest 27:14 and not enough water, 27:16 and I'm using lot of lemon water, 27:19 and I'm also being able to tell myself, Kim, 27:23 cut the day off, go home and rest. 27:26 Well, listen, Mr. Boom, 27:28 I'm excited, you know, 27:29 give it to us one more time before we close out. 27:31 Give us that, you know, send off one more time. 27:34 I tell you what? 27:35 The Lord has given it within me freely. 27:38 And I will give it to you freely as well. 27:40 It's your boy, Franz "Mr. Boom" 27:42 and we dropping the boom, baby. 27:44 Boom. 27:47 You're happy to be alive today, 27:48 I'm happy to be alive today, isn't God good? 27:51 God is so good. 27:52 This is how we should live everyday. 27:54 Everyday. 27:55 The Lord gives it to us, and we freely give it. 27:56 Well, listen, thank you so much for coming on Live to be Well. 27:59 And let's continue to live to be fit. 28:02 I'm Dr. Kim.
