Hello Health Champions. How can you navigate the jungle of misinformation out there on popular media. I've seen a lot of videos lately with titles such as "1 cup will reverse clogged arteries" or will melt belly fat or will clear your lungs or whatever it is that you want to have cleared just one cup will take care of it and the answer is we navigate it by understanding how health really works.
So I want to take the opportunity and react a little bit to some of these videos but also I want to talk about to really clarify a few points about what health is and why these claims are so outrageous and why they defy natural law. If you thought it was difficult to lose weight and belly fat well here's your solution "Just one cup before bed sleep deeply and burn belly fat" 9. 4 million views so let's change a couple of words "1 cup at bedtime burn belly fat while sleeping" 8.
6 million views. And we'll change a word again " 1 cup before bed sleep fast and deeply. .
. " and so on 1. 6 million views.
But doesn't it seem like a whole lot of work to have to drink a whole cup of something. Let's see if we can make it easier how about we take Two tablespoons a day of something to melt the belly fat away 5. 6 million views.
Only one tablespoon. . .
Why should you have to take two when only one will do it and lose belly fat and thigh fat so it's not just a potion going after the belly fat this one does two things at once with only a tablespoon a day 3. 2 million views. And if it works for all those things why wouldn't it work for heart disease the number one killer of mankind nobody knew it was this simple right one cup a day clear clogged arteries and heart.
"Only a glass of this juice will remove clogged arteries". That's fantastic, not only will it remove the plaque it will remove the entire artery. This must be quite some potion and "Unclog arteries .
. . 1 glass in the morning".
"One glass of juice in the morning reverse clogged arteries". "1 Tablespoon a day reverse clogged arteries" So I found dozens I counted up some 35 different videos with outrageous claims and very very high view counts and of course we want to ride the trend of the coronavirus because people are concerned about their lungs so you guessed it just "1 cup your lungs and respiratory tract will love you". " 1 cup a day will keep your lung problems away".
So some of you are laughing and you're saying that's so ridiculous I would never click on that but it shows us a bigger problem and why is this so disturbing because over all there were over 250 million views on just these 30 videos that I found and that means there's two hundred fifty million people that are cheated out of an understanding and an opportunity to actually get healthy. They are looking for a quick fix and they're promised a quick fix and a single solution. They're basically saying that don't worry about anything you've done in the last 30 years just have a cup of this or a tablespoon of this and all your problems will go away.
Well this guy over here he lived about fifty thousand years ago and I think he was a lot smarter than that because he would look at these claims and he would say no it doesn't work like that if we eat a plant or an animal and we get sick then the solution is not to eat another plant to try to compensate for it it's to stop eating the thing that got us sick. This guy could figure that out and we have evolved to a point where we don't get that anymore. We look for these quick fixes and single solutions so it's not mostly about adding things it's mostly about taking away.
Another example would be fish in a lake if a lake is getting really polluted all the industries are just spewing their garbage into that lake and the fish are getting very sick and a lot of them are dying how many people think it's a good idea to just add one more chemical in that lake and hope that it would solve the problem. It's not about adding one more thing it's about cleaning up the lake we even get this with dogs if the dog gets sick, what's the first question? We say - "what did the dog eat?
" Let's not feed the dog that anymore. If the dog gets fat we say it's because it's being kept sedentary it's not moving like dogs are supposed to and it's eating man-made food. We get it.
So why can't we get it with humans? Why don't we understand that it's more about taking away? Why do we think that we can add something to undo all of the things we've done in the last 20, 30 years.
And unfortunately one of the biggest reasons is called the allopathic paradigm. Allopathic means mainstream medicine and it's the idea that we give something for something. And in the healthcare field they give a medication for a symptom, but then in the alternative healthcare field in the natural health care field, they follow the same idea.
They just replace the medication with an herb or an elixir or a synthetic vitamin or something but the idea is the same that they trying to solve a problem by adding something and there's nothing you can add to undo the things you've done you have to undo those things. So the problem here is that we're stuck in a pill mentality whether it's an herb or an elixir or a medication it's still the same pill mentality that we have to get past. It's not about adding something it's about restoring function and adopting the whole lifestyle.
But if you thought those previous examples were outrageous now let's go beyond ridiculous. Let's add a time frame to when this is supposed to be done. "Only two cups a day for one week for a flat stomach", 26 million views.
And "One glass a day for 1 week for a flat stomach" and "How I lost belly fat in 7 days no diet no work out" So here you don't have to do anything keep smoking and drinking and eat your pizza don't have to do anything you can get this done in seven days. "How to lose arm fat in seven days" it doesn't just work for belly fat or weight, you can even lose that arm fat 12 million views. But wait.
Why should it have to take a whole week? Who's got that kind of time? I mean Let's go a little further beyond ridiculous "How to remove belly fat in a single night drinking this magical water" now we're talkin 1.
5 million views. "Bedtime drink to remove belly fat in a single night" 9. 2 million views.
"Just boil 2 ingredients and drink this before bedtime and loss weight overnight" 15 million views. So you don't even have to really speak English even though you have an English title and video to get 15 million views. So what are we thinking here?
These videos alone got over 25 million views so is this a person who says "oops I forgot to change my lifestyle this past winter and I got to go to the beach tomorrow let me look up some videos about magical water so I can get that bikini and feel good" And then to round it off let's bring up the Hall of Fame of absurd claims these are the one-of-a-kinds. "Only a teaspoon before meal remove belly fat in one night" I mean I'd buy that all day long, right? "I lost weight in one day without diet and exercise" You don't have to do anything and " How to lose weight in 2 hours" now that's got to be the kicker.
Like - "Oh my God is that the time? My wedding is in 2 hours and I can't get into this wedding dress" all right. Let me find a video to solve the problem.
What are we thinking? Well I have to admit these last two, they are actually possible and here is how you lose weight in one day or in 2 hours and that is if you're really really full of you-know-what and you go have a massive bowel movements then you could probably shed some weight I don't think we'll get into that wedding dress however. And a lot of you are probably laughing at this point and saying that I can't believe people click on that kind of stuff.
But maybe you clicked and maybe you learned something after that and you won't click again but the fact is that people do click over 250 million views on these 30 videos alone and it reflects a bigger underlying problem that people don't understand health. As a culture we have no idea what health is. We live under the delusion that there is a quick fix and every tabloid magazine every newspaper article that you see it's about lose this much in this amount of time and it's absurd.
And here's the bigger problem that if they never start understanding about health. If they never get some videos or some information or read some books to actually start understanding it, now they never will. And they will just be part of the statistics like in the US we spend over 4 trillion dollars on sick care and people are getting sicker and sicker and sicker.
And this just feeds in to more of that same problem. So let's talk about how to actually restore health and this will help put in perspective why all of those previous examples are so absurd and also just completely contrary to natural law. You want to think of your body as cells.
You have something like 40 trillion cells and there is a turnover of cells they wear out. The average cell, something like a red blood cell lives for about a hundred days and then it wears out it dies it gets recycled you make new ones. Some cells like your gut lining replaces every 3 to 4 to 5 days and some cells like your brain and nervous system lives for years or even forever.
But on average you want to think about your cells changing every hundred days. In about a year you replace 90% of the cells in your body The cells and the tissue and the molecules that you consist of they are getting replaced you are not the same person you were last year because the molecules are different The way to get healthy is to replace the old cell with a better cell and how do you do that? Well you reduce the things that interfere.
That cell is programmed to make the best possible copy of itself. And the things that interfere are things like toxins, inflammation and stress. Toxins are chemicals and pesticides and herbicides and artificial colors and artificial sweeteners and food additives and heavy metals and chemical hormones and the list goes on and on and on.
Inflammation is . . .
Some inflammation is necessary healing, acute inflammation, but chronic long-term inflammation keeps healing from resolving, okay It's unresolved healing when we have long-term inflammation and this is caused by sugar and insulin and seed oils and things like that. And stress finally is just one of those things that a lot of people just brush off. It's like - Oh well that's life.
Well you can teach your body to respond differently to stress because what stress does is it puts you in a fight - flight response it's when you're stressed you're telling your body I don't have time to heal right now. I'll worry about that tomorrow or some other time. Right now I've got this fire to put out.
I've got this urgent things to put out and it doesn't matter if it's a bear or a lion or a truck trying to run you over or even imaginary things like too many deadlines or bills or things just kind of exist in your head. Your body reacts the same thing and when you're stressed you're telling me about it I don't have time to heal. I don't have time to make better cells right now.
And if you think back to all those examples there is nothing that a cup or a glass or a tablespoon is going to do to help you with toxins, inflammation and stress. These are the root causes you need to address the root causes not drink a glass of something. So first you want to reduce the interference and the second thing is to increase the resources for the body to make new cells and those resources are building blocks.
So you need essential amino acids to build muscles and proteins and bones and connective tissue. You need essential fatty acids to build cell membranes and brain tissue and insulation. You need fuel that will give you stable energy and sugar and processed food is not going to give you stable energy.
Whole food with protein and fat will give you stable energy It will be like putting a log on the fire that burns cleanly for a long long time. Energy is a requirement for the body to function and unstable blood sugar is a form of stress. And finally you need catalysts.
And these are things like vitamins and minerals and enzymes and your body needs these catalysts to turn the food stuff in to building blocks into tissue and into energy. Now the good news is that it's not that hard to find these things. The building blocks the stable energy and the catalysts it's called real food.
You stay away from sugar and processed food. You eat whole meat whole vegetables good quality fats and nuts and meats and so forth and you're covered. The food has that stuff in it we just have to stay away from things that man has processed or altered or destroyed.
And then we need time to rewire the body. Just like you have habits your body has habits. You have metabolic habits.
You have signal pathway habits and it's going to take time for your body to start changing those to rewire to break down old pathways and rebuild new pathways until those new habits feel natural and feel like the default thing both to you and your body. And again there is no pill. There is no potion.
There is no elixir. There is no snake oil that will take care of this. I'm not saying that there is no value to any of those there may very well be some herb that does something beneficial but it's the wrong way of looking at things because it's not addressing the root cause.
It's such a tiny tiny piece of the big picture that we have to start understanding what the big picture is and if you really want to restore health you have to understand that time frame That when they're talkin about hours or days or maybe a week that is so absurd because your body doesn't change that fast. You can't really change anything fundamentally in that period of time. It defies natural law.
And in a matter of days or weeks you can start to notice changes. Most people once they start cutting out some processed foods and they eat less chemicals and they stabilize their blood sugar notice changes most people in a few days and if not that then in a few weeks but that's just the beginning that's just getting started because you have to start programming and replacing tissue and pathways and wiring to really make a long-term difference and now we're talking months to years if you keep learning you keep changing your lifestyle maintaining your new lifestyle now what's happening is you fine-tune and you're stabilize your newfound health and you make it the best it can be for your genetic potential.
