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.
