00:01 The following program presents principles designed
00:03 to promote good health and is not intended to take
00:05 the place of personalized professional care.
00:08 The opinions and the ideas expressed are those of the
00:10 speaker. Viewers are encouraged to draw their
00:13 own conclusions about the information presented
00:34 Welcome to WONDERFULLY MADE. I am Dr. David DeRose,
00:37 president of Compass Health incorporated. We're looking
00:41 today at a subject that is grabbing the attention of
00:43 people throughout the world and as we lived
00:47 and experience this wonderful gift of live that
00:49 God is given us. It's only the matter of time,
00:52 before all of us will be asking. What can I do
00:56 to age more healthfully? Healthful Aging, that's
01:00 our subject today and to add me in the dialogue
01:03 today, is Dr. John Clark, John it's good to have you
01:06 with me on the show today. Thanks for having me;
01:09 It's good to be back. Now you're first training
01:12 if you will in medicine is as an orthopedic surgeon
01:15 and I know in that discipline. You see a lot
01:18 of problems that many peoples with it tribute
01:21 to simply getting older is in that right.
01:23 That's correct people do get older and they do
01:26 tend to have problems with bones and joints.
01:29 Now many peoples upset that things like
01:32 degenerative joints disease or osteoarthritis
01:36 it's simply disease that comes on over time,
01:39 because of wear and tear and as we get older,
01:42 We're likely to have problems with our orthopedic
01:46 system. If you will, is that pretty much to given
01:50 that if we live long enough, we're gonna be seeing
01:53 an orthopedic surgeon for something.
01:54 Well people tend to believe that and there is the
01:58 certain amount to thanks you believe in,
02:01 coming true, but it isn't necessarily true that you
02:05 have to have degenerative diseases just because you're
02:08 getting older. Will let's talk then about
02:11 Healthy Aging, first of all from the stand point of an
02:14 orthopedic surgeon. If you're talking with people,
02:17 how to keep their bones and joints in a healthy
02:20 conditions. How to maintain their normal functions
02:24 that the orthopedics surgeon often deals with walking
02:27 and functional activity? Why would you tell someone?
02:30 Well, the first thing, I would say is take
02:32 advantage of your strength, when you're younger
02:35 and do more exercise. Umm!
02:37 Exercise in the way of aerobic exercise, exercise
02:40 in the way of strength training. I remember ones
02:43 study I read, who are they tested peoples grips
02:47 strength, when they were young.
02:48 Umm! 25 years later they checked
02:51 the same people, to see how well they are functioned
02:54 and they discovered that they those people, who had
02:57 the strongest grip strength, had the lowest disability
03:01 in walking, in going up stairs, in activities of
03:05 daily living. So strength training, well
03:08 three times a week, 30 minutes of a day
03:11 will be very good for anybody.
03:13 So, perceivably and they had study grips strength was a
03:15 marker of overall muscles strength. We're want
03:18 to say just strengthen your grip and you're going
03:21 to be able to walk well throughout life.
03:24 That's correct, this was used is a marker for overall
03:27 strength and grip has often been used that way.
03:29 You know, the fascinating thing about what you
03:31 presenting Dr. Clark is the medical literature is
03:35 speaking a lot more about things to tend to happened
03:38 as we age. One of those things technically is called
03:40 Sarcopenia that's the wasting of muscle to tense
03:44 to occurs, we get older and yeah, what I hear you
03:47 saying Dr. Clark as well as many others is it, this is
03:51 not necessarily, just a function of aging or maybe
03:53 a function of what we do it as we get older.
03:56 That's correct, do or don't do.
03:58 Okay. And you know, we've old
04:00 adage. If you don't use it, you lose it.
04:03 Umm! And then reality, that is
04:05 often in the case. You know many diseases that people
04:08 get as an older or a function of doing nothing
04:12 osteoporosis. A lot of arthritis's and it occurs
04:16 heart disease and lung disease.
04:18 So, what we saying is Healthy aging really begins
04:22 at a point, before you really worried about
04:24 Healthy aging. When you are young optimizing your
04:27 muscles strength, but even if you tuning in today and
04:30 you've had your 98h birth day or you've turned to 100.
04:34 We call a sir, how old you're. There is others
04:38 suggesting with the Life Style choice as we make
04:40 to make a profound difference and one of them
04:42 is regular physical exercise. You know Dr. Clark
04:45 this reminds me of that the classic study the
04:48 alumni county health study. Yes. Many of our
04:51 viewers no doubt of heard about that study.
04:53 That showed how simple life style have, which can have
04:56 a barring on health. What was fascinating to me as
05:00 people get older, their relatives waits of things
05:03 change in other words for all the individuals.
05:05 The importance of regular exercise is equal to
05:09 that compliable, but power be the best way to say it,
05:12 to the benefits of not smoking and eating breakfast
05:16 all those things are relatively comparable
05:18 as we get older as far as extending our life's spend.
05:21 So, exercise surely ranks high in that list is well
05:25 as some of these other simple Life Style practices.
05:27 What other things are not wordy. Dr. Clark, because
05:30 you think about Healthy aging,
05:31 from the stand point of in orthopedic surgeon.
05:34 Well, this exercise thing can be under estimated
05:38 they did a study on Harvard graduates.
05:40 One of the Harvard alumni studies and they were
05:43 looking in longevity. Umm!
05:45 And when they got through to studies this sub,
05:47 the number one predictor of long longevity was.
05:51 How active the individual word and so that is very,
05:55 very important, but the other things that we see in
05:59 exercise. Is that people who exercise actually get
06:03 a benefit in their attitude? They are happier.
06:05 Umm! They have a better outlook
06:07 more positive outlook and that cannot be under
06:10 estimated either, because outlook often predicts
06:14 longevity as well as activity.
06:17 You know, it's very interesting as we talk about
06:19 these important factors. I am always kind a listening
06:22 to the dialogue as if I am a lappers and I always try
06:26 to do that and I think of the heart specialist I want
06:30 to know and he was a smoker of all things were if you
06:34 a cardiologist smoke, because they see the effects of this
06:37 But he said, you know, I exercise to undo the
06:40 effect of smoking. I am thinking Dr. Clark, is I was
06:43 sharing some of the alumni county health data,
06:45 someone maybe thinking. Well of smoking and exercise are
06:51 equal or comparable, when I get older. One can balance
06:55 the others, is that a correct message to walk
06:58 away from our dialogue list.
07:00 That the VA hospital Loma Linda, we had quite a stop
07:04 smoking program going, but we often set and comities
07:07 some talk about it and one of the common kind of light
07:12 hearted things. We would say as well they couldn't walk a
07:14 mile to get a camel and they are really comparable
07:19 you know smoking and exercise. How you can a
07:21 really exercise, if your lungs are shot and so I don't
07:25 know those really off-side each other effectively.
07:28 Now it's the good point and the other point is just
07:31 because in older people smoking does not look as like
07:35 as major risk factor in younger people. The reason
07:37 for that many people was sodomized of many
07:40 epidemiologist scientists that study disease in
07:43 population. Is that the people that are going to
07:45 have the most serious effects with smoking have already
07:48 died out? If you're 80 years old, you smoked to all
07:51 your life. You've shown you're relatively resistant
07:54 to the cancer causing and heart disease causing
07:57 effects is smoking for example. So that smoking
08:01 is less important of risk factor as we get older,
08:04 otherwise we're younger, but it's still as you pointing
08:07 out Dr. Clark it's something the sooner you quite
08:10 the better don't just be comp less, because you're 65
08:13 and you smoked all your life. Let's transition little
08:17 bit, because not only you're an orthopedic surgeon.
08:20 But you've taken a great interest in the broader
08:23 area of life style Madison, you're fellow of the
08:26 American college of life styles Madison.
08:28 I am member. I am member, I am sorry
08:30 thanks for keep me straight and you're very, very
08:35 interested in health throughout the life
08:38 spend. Tell us about some others things that may not
08:41 the orthopedic issues, but our still very important
08:44 as we try to age healthfully.
08:47 Well, one of the big issues, is what we eat or what we
08:50 don't eat. Okay.
08:51 And people who've a good diet, high in nutrition,
08:56 vitamins, minerals, Ferro chemicals and that kind of
08:59 thing tend to have better health all the way around,
09:02 they also maintained a better weight and people
09:07 who are obese don't tend to live as long , they have
09:09 more degenerative diseases. Well, I call arthritis;
09:12 obesity is one of the biggest risk factors
09:15 for disabling arthritis. This weight issues is
09:19 incredibly important to discuss some 67 percent
09:23 of the American population are over weight or obese.
09:26 That's the figure you that just keeps increasing as
09:29 you look at this statistics over time and if you tuning
09:33 in today and say well here is the, couple of thin
09:35 guys try to tells of they are we're, because we fat
09:37 that's not the message. The message is simply that this
09:40 is risk factor for ill and there are things
09:43 that you can do that can help cut the pounds.
09:45 I know you may say well I heard that before
09:47 doesn't work for me, but why we encourage you to
09:50 really again take the message to heart,
09:54 the message is not that you've to, you know have
09:58 the "ideal figure", that is promoted in the media
10:01 of someone who is Pencil thin as a women.
10:04 But the point is that even losing small amounts of
10:07 weight to make a significant difference.
10:10 Don't we see that in the studies Dr. Clark?
10:12 That's true and obese people tend to have extra weight
10:15 especially around the organs, over the liver
10:19 and around the kidneys and these fat, it's in the very
10:22 centre of you tends to be the most dangerous actually.
10:25 It's had a higher temperature all the time
10:28 and it been at a higher temperature you know
10:30 it happens to fat, it's surround on a
10:32 hot summer day. Tends to go rancid
10:36 and so this fat tends to put off extra oxidative
10:39 products, we called lipid peroxidation or oxidative
10:42 stress and these contributes to a number of problems
10:45 and so what were we started here was with diet
10:48 being important. Umm!
10:50 And especially a vegetarian diet with higher nutrient,
10:53 the reason that is, as because if you're eaten
10:55 a vegetarian diet, high in vitamins and Ferro
10:59 chemicals. You've a strong antioxidant diet and that
11:04 antioxidant diet than works against that
11:07 lipid peroxidation, that oxidative stress. Quits that
11:11 important, that oxidative stress, that is caused by
11:15 being over weight with this extra fat around the organs
11:17 contributes to macular degeneration. It contributes
11:21 to diabetes, cancer, heart disease, a lot of things
11:24 were finding in that and increased information
11:28 or oxidative stress in a system contributes too.
11:32 Now, this is critical stuff to talk about, because
11:34 we speak about Healthy aging. We're also thinking
11:37 about preventing some of the killer disease, as we
11:39 need to emphasis that. But the things that rob us of
11:42 quality of life, the things that effect our vision, as
11:44 you mentioned Dr. Clark whether it's macular degeneration
11:48 or whether which is a loss of the most sensitive part
11:52 of this seeing organ of the eye. If you will the retina
11:55 or whether it's glaucoma with increase eye pressure,
12:00 whether it's hearing loss. These is a number of
12:02 things that can affect the quality of our life,
12:04 it will not cause our demise, but can surely
12:09 contribute to aging on healthfully.
12:12 That's correct and you never talking about
12:14 arthritis there a little, that's when peoples body
12:17 where is out perhaps before their brain.
12:20 Umm! Now, those diseases are
12:21 particularly distressing to the individual,
12:25 but than there are the diseases, were their brain
12:27 worse out before the body. Okay.
12:29 And we're talking Parkinson's and Alzheimer's,
12:32 doesn't necessarily distress the individual so much.
12:36 But if you look a studies are those who've to take care
12:38 of Alzheimer's patients and Parkinson's patients,
12:40 you find it as a major stress on others life's.
12:44 You know, one fascinating inside in to these diseases,
12:48 is no logic diseases. That's intrigue me,
12:51 is a compound called brain-derived neurotrophic
12:55 factor. I know that's a mouthful BDNF.
12:59 Brain-derived music comes in the brain neurotropic
13:03 means it's a "Nerve Growth Factor",
13:05 so it's BDNF it's something that has been demonstrated
13:09 you perhaps have seen Dr. Clark, to decrease
13:11 depression, decrease Parkinson's disease, risk,
13:15 decrease the risk of the problems of stroke and also
13:19 potentially decrease the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
13:22 What's fascinating is one the factors, that increases
13:25 BDNF levels is good, compound in the brain.
13:28 Its exercise, another one is actually choleric
13:31 restriction. Dr. Clark, I know you have been
13:34 interested in this concept of choleric restriction
13:37 not just as it impacts brain compounds. But you
13:42 found some other interesting things about not over
13:45 eating and what they have can do besides affecting
13:47 our weight. Yeah, you reminds me
13:49 of the mice that got put in the
13:51 "Genius Book World Record" You're talking.
13:55 They got how to group a mice, so they decided to
13:58 feed them how much they would like to eat, they let
14:01 them only eats so they could figure out what their diets
14:03 were gonna be like, then they split them in two groups.
14:06 One group got to eat all they wanted; the other group
14:08 only could eat 40 percent of what they had start out
14:12 eating. In others words they are 60 percent
14:14 choleric restriction. Okay.
14:16 They let him live to the ripple age, they would live
14:19 let him die naturally, those mice lived 60 percent
14:24 longer then they wants just a what they want to eat.
14:27 You know, it's fascinating, because I have heard others
14:29 studies it looked at this is, and almost seems
14:32 like the amount of choleric restriction in this animal
14:34 studies, is the amount increase some longevity,
14:37 restrict the caloric 30 percent they lived 30
14:39 percent long. It's that something that you've
14:41 noticed in some of this reports.
14:43 Yeah, I make one of You're restrict, that I am
14:45 100 percent; they lived a 100 percent longer. But we
14:48 know that isn't true, but. You know there is the
14:50 point of diminishing returns, but it almost
14:53 is like, the organism is programmed by the creator
14:59 to process a certain amount of food and once you
15:02 process that amount of food. You're going to meet
15:05 you're demise instead of you process all that fluid
15:08 very quickly and life you're gonna die early.
15:11 If you spread it out more judiciously, you'll have
15:14 a longer life's spend. That's right AHAH.
15:17 Now, you've been interested, I know in the immune system.
15:21 A lot of people are tracking you down and your health
15:26 Education Company, it's "Northern Lights".
15:29 Health Education. Health Education
15:32 and you've done work on this bird flue and immune
15:37 system relationship. So, I know people are calling
15:39 you from all of the country and all over the world.
15:42 You've found some things about choleric restriction
15:44 and the immune system is that right.
15:46 That's correct people are eating too much food,
15:49 it tends to suppress the immune system
15:52 and who wanna does that, it make you more susceptible
15:54 to a virus such as the bird flue, influenza.
15:57 Well, if you restrict your calories, cut down the
16:01 amount you eat and especially if your calories,
16:04 you do eat or the high quality food, then your
16:07 immune system has boosted a lot, we're talking double
16:11 the activity for the white cells and so choleric
16:14 restriction has proven very beneficial as population
16:17 that are, you know pretty habitual at to choleric
16:21 restriction. The hocanhvan. Umm!
16:24 I don't know, it's been a few years know with there
16:27 was a big article came out on their longevity
16:30 and they've 80 percent less cancer, 75 percent less
16:33 heart disease and do marvelously and they eat
16:37 40 percent fewer calories than Americans.
16:40 Okay, so what would saying is there some very simple
16:43 things that could contributes to Healthy
16:44 aging, regular physical exercise, not smoking,
16:49 try to maintained more closely an ideal weight
16:53 and than, avoiding over eating, even if you're your
16:57 ideal weight, even if you bring one of those people
16:59 to say well I can eat anything I want, any time
17:01 I want and it doesn't contribute to weight
17:03 gained with finally use the medical research data,
17:06 suggest if you wanna maintained a health immune
17:08 system, you want to be careful of the amount of
17:12 calories that you eat, that is true for optimal brain
17:15 health is well. Dr. Clark a life has been set, when
17:18 it's come to Healthy aging about the chronic diseases,
17:21 diabetes, cancers, high blood pressure,
17:26 heart disease, these diseases if they don't claim
17:29 life. They often contribute to what we called
17:32 morbidity or suffering throughout life.
17:35 Does life style do our choices make differences
17:38 with these diseases? They sure do, you know
17:41 a lot of people say well, you know my mother had
17:44 diabetes, my grandmother had diabetes, I am gonna get
17:47 diabetes, as that way it is and so I am just gone be
17:49 prepared, when I get all just not fighted and often
17:54 times we look at theses diseases, as inherited
17:57 Umm! and therefore we think
17:59 there genetic. Well, when you look at it, what really
18:02 as happening, just people are inheriting their
18:05 parent's life style? They walk like they walk
18:08 or exercise like they exercise or don't exercise
18:10 like their parent's didn't exercise and they eat like
18:13 their parent's eat and a lot of times they than get
18:17 the diseases their parent's had.
18:19 So you're not saying that their aren't any genetic
18:22 factors, but you're saying that what we ascribed to
18:26 genetics, often is not just pure genetics is often life
18:30 style plus genetics. True and often times as
18:34 purely life style. Okay.
18:35 For example diabetes, you're look at the martially is
18:38 after World War II and we introduce to them,
18:41 the American diet, you know I have 50 percent of them
18:44 with diabetes on the island, before World War II,
18:47 no diabetes, who are they head it from Americans.
18:51 Why you aggressors? So, some people would
18:53 say, this population whether it's the folks
18:57 in the Marshall Islands, whether it's certain groups
19:00 of native of Americans are genetically proven to
19:04 diabetes, but their life style, their healthy life
19:07 style historically protected them. Now, you supreme
19:10 pose these choleric rich, abandoned in calorie
19:15 American diet and low and be hold they come down with
19:19 the disease that never occurred before.
19:21 That's true yes. So, regards of what
19:24 our genetic are, what I hear you saying is life style
19:27 is the powerful influence, not just on avoiding
19:31 blindness, not just on maintaining our hearing
19:33 or which here is data showing that hearing loss
19:37 and relation too, what to poor diet. But it also is
19:40 something they can make a difference with these
19:41 killing diseases? That's very true
19:45 and you know, if you could predicted from your family
19:48 background, you've a high propensity to cancer than
19:52 you should be looking to see what the risk factors for
19:55 cancer are, and making sure that you're taking advantage
19:59 of would better research you can.
20:01 You know we speak about cancers, that's a special
20:05 area where one of the Cord Preventive strategies is,
20:08 is screening. Now of course screening doesn't prevent
20:12 the cancer from occurring, it just is what many people
20:15 with terms secondary preventions, you're picking
20:18 up on the cancer in early treatable time. A lot of
20:22 what I see in the medical research literature speaking
20:24 about healthy aging is giving screening
20:26 recommendations. What is your opinion on this
20:29 Dr. Clark is there a place for things like mammograms
20:32 and pap smears, prostate screening, colon screening.
20:36 How do you see that is for us healthy aging?
20:39 We've recommendation, it comes to us from those
20:42 who are studied it lot. That are often put together,
20:45 a concern senses conference and than they hand down
20:47 this recommendations based on, you know good research
20:51 says if I can catch one of this early. I can save these
20:54 many life years and if a plans out there is worth
20:56 while they do it and something has been turned
20:59 down for screening, because the screening process will
21:02 pickup so few, that it wouldn't because to
21:05 affective and they harm done from the screening
21:08 will be more than the disease perhaps and so
21:11 the recommendation. I think a well founded on good
21:13 research and we can look and see, what
21:16 they do recommended. Great so the message
21:18 there would be work with your Doctor make sure
21:22 you're having some type of regular valuation that's
21:24 paying a tension to this recommended screening test
21:28 whether its colonoscopy, mammography, Pap smears
21:34 these things have proven to actually save life's and
21:38 decreases of severity of many of these cancers
21:41 in particular. What about other life style related
21:44 diseases is there a place for screening, when it
21:47 comes to heart disease, diabetes, things like these,
21:49 how do you see them? Diabetes, you know
21:54 and heart disease, blood pressure for that matter.
21:56 A lot of time, they are silent.
21:59 Umm! And, so doesn't hurt
22:00 to have them screen for, when they have do started
22:04 getting symptomatic. It's often you that, you will
22:06 come to the doctor with the complaint you know I feel
22:08 and heaviness in the chest. I feel palpitations
22:11 for heart disease; you know I have had excurse
22:14 something, you know high blood pressure are hard one
22:16 to find, you know a symptom for, but your
22:19 average doctor, you go to see him, they will have
22:21 automatic screen for that to check you blood pressure,
22:24 your pulse. Umm!
22:25 And, so they kind a do that routinely, diabetes
22:31 it's a little more difficult, because it isn't a very
22:34 symptomatic disease until maybe you become very
22:38 hyperglycemic and that's kind a dangerous, you know
22:41 I've been in the emergency room. When their next door
22:45 over, there was somebody and the doctors over there,
22:47 wakeup, wakeup. Did you know you're diabetic oh,
22:50 oh, no, no, oh what and there said you're blood
22:53 sugar was 300 and that's often the first time people
22:57 realize, they are diabetic. Right, right.
22:59 And, that's sort a dangerous, so there are
23:01 screening test and go to the pharmacy, you know
23:03 your local pharmacy and get these, your in strips
23:10 such you can just a check iron with for sugar. All you
23:15 know, if you really worry about and you know, your
23:16 family has diabetes, you can go buy a little test,
23:19 put your finger and check your blood sugar.
23:22 Okay. Correct.
23:23 The blood sugar gonna pick up on its sooner than
23:25 you're and your blood sugar has to reached probably
23:27 around 160 maybe 180, before stress coming on the
23:31 you're and where as the diabetes is the blood sugar
23:34 fasting above 125. Okay, so what I hear between the
23:39 lines, is if we're waiting to get concerned about
23:42 healthy aging until we've our 98th birth day. We're
23:46 missing some of the best opportunities,
23:48 That's correct. You've done a lot with us
23:50 your approaches and this is huge concerned. When we
23:53 talk about healthy aging, I mean there are literally
23:56 millions of people throughout the world,
23:58 who've falls and if you've fall and your bones
24:02 with sins. You're ask your approaches for risk,
24:04 that is serious fracture like your hip fracture and
24:06 even ultimately dieing from your fracture dramatically
24:09 increased. What messages as an orthopedic surgeon,
24:13 do you give when it come to maintaining healthy bone
24:17 mass throughout the lives spend?
24:20 Yes and how do you say about fractures and death
24:23 is very important, because United States of people,
24:27 if they fall down, break your hip an about
24:30 300 000 years and you're do that, you've a 33 percent
24:35 chance of dieing of that within the one year.
24:37 Wow! And that's you know,
24:39 that's boost statistics and what you've diseases
24:41 we've been talking about. Even then many cancers.
24:43 Then many cancers exactly, so people over look you know,
24:47 they impact of a fracture, people who break, you know
24:52 a hip, only one third of them ever give back to same
24:56 level of activity that they had before they broke it,
25:00 most of them spend the rest of our life worry to death
25:02 they're gonna fall again and they own get out with
25:04 their friends and neighbors and they becomes
25:05 socially isolated. Aha!
25:07 One fist end up in the nursing home permanently.
25:10 Wow! Just about all him end up
25:12 in the nursing for about 6 weeks, so when you talking
25:16 about hip fractures. Aha!
25:18 And bond mass, the best thing is to make sure you
25:22 keep your bone mass up, when you're younger. How do you
25:25 do that? Whether sank it cause bone loss, anything
25:29 that creates more acid in your system, sort of pops
25:32 especially brands sort of pops meat, especially meats
25:36 sort of high in the amino acids that form acids like
25:39 Sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid,
25:41 that's just about old animal products, were if your
25:44 not milk, is not helpful for osteoporoses and I know
25:47 kind was a shark, but the countries where they
25:50 drink more milk, have more osteoporoses,
25:52 somebody who drank more milk when they're 20 as much
25:55 more likely have your osteoporoses when they're 80.
25:58 These are interesting facts, but the weight have
26:01 maintained your bone mass than is number one exercise
26:06 and we keep coming back to that.
26:07 Umm! And it's because your
26:09 bones tend to respond to the amount of use they get.
26:13 Okay. If they get lots of use, they put down
26:16 in more calcium, they don't get much use,
26:18 they just spends with their weight and so they're
26:21 always dynamic and so people who are on their feet
26:24 to a walk for exercise and like a half our day
26:29 of 30 percent less after get osteoporoses, those that
26:32 are on their feet 4 hours a day or 40 percent less
26:34 after get osteoporoses and then there is the
26:37 factor of sunlight. Umm!
26:40 Now, the farther north you get, the more its cold the
26:42 winter and less sun there is in the winter
26:44 and people tend out more osteoporosis.
26:46 Umm! But if you get on the
26:49 summer and get some sunlight that Vitamin D
26:52 even very important. Excellent! In fact you
26:55 know, Larvin turns to have started the
26:58 recommending the people out north, take a Vitamin D
27:00 supplement. Umm! I do that myself,
27:02 I tell people that if you're north of about kind
27:07 of the middle of the US, so even below that. You got
27:10 a good, I am pretty far to get plenty of Vitamin D
27:13 in the winter, even if you getting out sufficient hours.
27:16 And isn't the recommendation just in, just come out
27:18 for some with osteoporosis of 1000mg twice a day.
27:21 1000 international units, if what we're saying is the,
27:25 the recommended amount for everyone. We often give
27:27 more in serious situations. Well, listen
27:31 our time is already slipped away Health aging is a
27:34 fascinating subject, but I hope you've got the message
27:37 today, there is often simple things started early
27:40 in life and even if you haven't started early in life
27:42 and you're tuning in today and you feel like you're
27:46 quite up in the years. These simple life style have it
27:48 to healthy diet, regular physical exercise,
27:51 not smoking, a positive attitude, these things could
27:54 make a profound difference, yes mind the conventional
27:58 screening recommendation keep tabs on your health,
