00:00:00,740 --> 00:00:02,360
Hello, this is AJ again.
2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,730
Welcome to our next lesson.
3
00:00:04,730 --> 00:00:09,330
This one is called “Healthy at 100.”
4
00:00:09,330 --> 00:00:13,660
Healthy at 100 is the name of a book by John
Robbins.
5
00:00:13,660 --> 00:00:20,590
It’s a fantastic book, very interesting
and the topic of this book is exactly what
6
00:00:20,590 --> 00:00:22,250
the title says.
7
00:00:22,250 --> 00:00:29,759
The topic of this book is how to be a healthy
person at the age of 100, which seems kind
8
00:00:29,759 --> 00:00:32,009
of amazing to most people.
9
00:00:32,009 --> 00:00:33,009
Can you be healthy?
10
00:00:33,009 --> 00:00:34,290
Can you be strong?
11
00:00:34,290 --> 00:00:39,080
Can you have energy when you’re 100 years
old?
12
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,150
And the answer is absolutely yes.
13
00:00:41,150 --> 00:00:44,900
Now how did John Robbins write this book?
14
00:00:44,900 --> 00:00:46,140
It’s very interesting.
15
00:00:46,140 --> 00:00:54,510
Well, what he did, personally and then with
his research assistants, he studied cultures,
16
00:00:54,510 --> 00:01:03,070
places in the world where large numbers of
people live to be very old.
17
00:01:03,070 --> 00:01:06,799
But not only just live to be old, because,
y’know, if you live to be old but you’re
18
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:08,369
weak, that’s not very fun.
19
00:01:08,369 --> 00:01:15,500
So he studied places that had a lot of very
old people who were also very strong, very
20
00:01:15,500 --> 00:01:18,940
energetic, very healthy, very happy.
21
00:01:18,940 --> 00:01:23,470
There’s a big difference if you’re 90
years old and you’re in a nursing home and
22
00:01:23,470 --> 00:01:25,299
you’re weak and sick, and ugh.
23
00:01:25,299 --> 00:01:27,479
That’s a terrible life.
24
00:01:27,479 --> 00:01:32,770
But if you’re 90 years old and you’re
out running and you feel great, well that’s
25
00:01:32,770 --> 00:01:33,770
fantastic.
26
00:01:33,770 --> 00:01:38,229
And there are cultures like this and there
are also a lot of individual people like this.
27
00:01:38,229 --> 00:01:41,069
And when I say a lot, I don’t mean a lot
by percentage.
28
00:01:41,069 --> 00:01:44,960
It’s a small percent of the human population.
29
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:48,729
But still there are thousands of these kind
of people, I don’t know, maybe hundreds
30
00:01:48,729 --> 00:01:49,729
of thousands, maybe millions.
31
00:01:49,729 --> 00:01:51,939
I’m not sure what the exact number is.
32
00:01:51,939 --> 00:01:53,369
But you can find these people.
33
00:01:53,369 --> 00:01:56,030
You can find specific cultures where there
are a lot of them.
34
00:01:56,030 --> 00:01:58,609
And then you can find individuals.
35
00:01:58,609 --> 00:02:03,009
And so John Robbins was very curious about
this and he wanted to know why.
36
00:02:03,009 --> 00:02:13,410
Why, why do some people live strong, long,
healthy, active lives for a very, very long
37
00:02:13,410 --> 00:02:14,410
time?
38
00:02:14,410 --> 00:02:20,360
Why are some people so strong when they’re
older and live so much longer?
39
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:25,270
And then other people, y’know, they’re
60 years old, they’re already tired and
40
00:02:25,270 --> 00:02:26,270
sick.
41
00:02:26,270 --> 00:02:30,890
What’s the difference is what he wanted
to know.
42
00:02:30,890 --> 00:02:33,190
And so he studied different groups.
43
00:02:33,190 --> 00:02:38,510
One of the groups were people, traditional
people, on the island of Okinawa, Japan.
44
00:02:38,510 --> 00:02:44,380
So we’re not talking, Okinawa now has a
lot of modern culture, a lot of American influence.
45
00:02:44,380 --> 00:02:47,980
And those people do not live so long.
46
00:02:47,980 --> 00:02:49,340
And they’re not so healthy.
47
00:02:49,340 --> 00:02:53,670
But the kind of people who live on Okinawa
in a traditional way, the way they always
48
00:02:53,670 --> 00:02:58,010
have for a very long time, those people are
very special.
49
00:02:58,010 --> 00:03:01,650
They live very long lives and they’re very
strong and healthy.
50
00:03:01,650 --> 00:03:05,731
They’re still working when they’re 80
or 90 years old, working like on farms, like
51
00:03:05,731 --> 00:03:08,840
hard, physical work.
52
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:13,200
He studied another group of people in Pakistan,
same thing.
53
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:19,990
They lived to be 90, 100, over 100, and the
whole time they’re working, doing heavy,
54
00:03:19,990 --> 00:03:21,130
hard, physical work.
55
00:03:21,130 --> 00:03:24,540
It’s pretty amazing.
56
00:03:24,540 --> 00:03:27,030
And then another thing they did is they studied
individual people.
57
00:03:27,030 --> 00:03:32,460
There are just certain people, for example
one of my favorites, one of my favorite teachers,
58
00:03:32,460 --> 00:03:37,710
he’s dead now but I think he’s a great
example, I want to be like him.
59
00:03:37,710 --> 00:03:40,710
And his name is Paul Bragg.
60
00:03:40,710 --> 00:03:47,680
Paul Bragg was in America one of the first
people to start health food stores.
61
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,470
He kind of started the health movement in
America.
62
00:03:50,470 --> 00:03:56,280
He was one of the first people to start eating
organic food, for example.
63
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,640
Well Paul Bragg, he is so interesting.
64
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,860
He died when he was, I believe, 96 years old.
65
00:04:01,860 --> 00:04:05,430
You know, that’s pretty good itself, he
lived to be 96.
66
00:04:05,430 --> 00:04:08,290
But here’s the cool part, this is the part
I love.
67
00:04:08,290 --> 00:04:10,100
How did he die when he was in 96?
68
00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:13,690
Was he in a bed sick with cancer?
69
00:04:13,690 --> 00:04:16,150
No, he was surfing.
70
00:04:16,150 --> 00:04:20,030
He was surfing when he was 96 years old and
it was a surfing accident.
71
00:04:20,030 --> 00:04:22,360
Like I don’t know what happened.
72
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,060
I guess he was surfing and he fell off the
board and another surfboard hit him in the
73
00:04:26,060 --> 00:04:27,680
head or he hit a rock or something.
74
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,000
You know, it’s sad that he died, of course.
75
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,000
But he died active.
76
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,530
He’s out on the waves surfing in the ocean.
77
00:04:33,530 --> 00:04:36,939
Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, daaah.
78
00:04:36,939 --> 00:04:39,789
And he’s 96 years old.
79
00:04:39,789 --> 00:04:40,789
Awesome!
80
00:04:40,789 --> 00:04:43,810
Or Jack LaLanne, another great guy from the
United States.
81
00:04:43,810 --> 00:04:45,310
In fact he learned from Paul Bragg.
82
00:04:45,310 --> 00:04:46,520
He’s still alive today.
83
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,010
He’s 90 years old.
84
00:04:48,010 --> 00:04:50,639
He’s still super energetic.
85
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:52,490
He exercises constantly.
86
00:04:52,490 --> 00:04:54,400
He swims.
87
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:55,639
He runs.
88
00:04:55,639 --> 00:04:58,650
He lifts weights.
89
00:04:58,650 --> 00:05:04,379
His wife also, they’re both like 90‐something
years old and they’re just so strong and
90
00:05:04,379 --> 00:05:07,169
healthy.
91
00:05:07,169 --> 00:05:09,659
We can find a lot of people like this actually.
92
00:05:09,659 --> 00:05:16,639
And what’s really interesting when you compare
Paul Bragg, Jack LaLanne, these different
93
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:22,490
peoples in Okinawa, in Pakistan, other parts
of the world, they have similar things.
94
00:05:22,490 --> 00:05:24,990
They’re all doing similar things.
95
00:05:24,990 --> 00:05:26,440
There’s a reason.
96
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,939
It’s not a roll of the dice, remember that
phrase?
97
00:05:28,939 --> 00:05:30,000
It’s not a roll of the dice.
98
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,000
It’s not luck.
99
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:37,069
And it’s not because of their family members,
because Paul Bragg’s father and mother didn’t
100
00:05:37,069 --> 00:05:39,279
live really long and really strong.
101
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,069
It’s something they are doing.
102
00:05:42,069 --> 00:05:45,020
So that’s what this book is about, Healthy
at 100.
103
00:05:45,020 --> 00:05:47,430
And one of the things they study in the book
is cancer.
104
00:05:47,430 --> 00:05:54,889
Why do some people get cancer at a high rate
and other people very, very low rate of cancer?
105
00:05:54,889 --> 00:05:59,249
Let me read a little section from the book
now and it’s about cancer and it discusses
106
00:05:59,249 --> 00:06:02,939
the reason, or one of the biggest reasons.
107
00:06:02,939 --> 00:06:06,370
And it’s titled Cancer and Animal Foods.
108
00:06:06,370 --> 00:06:14,840
Here we go: If the correlation between cancer
and animal food consumption is indeed powerful,
109
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:21,139
you would expect many studies to find a connection
between the two.
110
00:06:21,139 --> 00:06:23,520
It turns out there are many.
111
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:31,779
For example, a study of 122,000 female American
nurses found that those women who ate meat
112
00:06:31,779 --> 00:06:39,219
daily were two and a half times more likely
to get colon cancer than those women who ate
113
00:06:39,219 --> 00:06:42,479
meat less than once a month.
114
00:06:42,479 --> 00:06:49,030
In 2001 a comprehensive Harvard review of
the research on dairy products and prostate
115
00:06:49,030 --> 00:06:56,229
cancer found that those who had over the course
of their lives consumed the most dairy products
116
00:06:56,229 --> 00:07:04,180
had double the rate of prostate cancer and
four times the rate of metastatic prostate
117
00:07:04,180 --> 00:07:06,780
cancer.
118
00:07:06,780 --> 00:07:13,219
A high intake of fruits and vegetables, on
the other hand, was associated with a lower
119
00:07:13,219 --> 00:07:18,139
risk of advanced prostate cancer.
120
00:07:18,139 --> 00:07:23,560
Other studies including the famous physicians
health study have also confirmed a link between
121
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:28,370
dairy product consumption and prostate cancer.
122
00:07:28,370 --> 00:07:34,849
And a study of more than 12,000 men found
that those who drank soy milk regularly rather
123
00:07:34,849 --> 00:07:44,479
than cow’s milk had a whopping 70% reduction
in their risk of prostate cancer.
124
00:07:44,479 --> 00:07:53,009
Today, men in China who are still eating their
traditional plant‐based diet without any
125
00:07:53,009 --> 00:07:59,770
dairy products have one of the lowest rates
of prostate cancer in the world.
126
00:07:59,770 --> 00:08:05,869
And no one can say these low rates are due
to a genetic advantage because Chinese American
127
00:08:05,869 --> 00:08:13,569
men living in the United States, eating the
standard American diet, have rates 10 times
128
00:08:13,569 --> 00:08:20,710
as high as their genetic counterparts still
eating in the traditional way in China.
129
00:08:20,710 --> 00:08:22,430
Whoo, okay.
130
00:08:22,430 --> 00:08:24,800
That’s a little bit difficult section.
131
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:30,650
A little bit scientific and some long sentences
there, let me just explain what it means.
132
00:08:30,650 --> 00:08:34,789
So basically, he’s talking about a lot of
research related to cancer.
133
00:08:34,789 --> 00:08:38,969
And here’s what they find, the basic result.
134
00:08:38,969 --> 00:08:46,740
The more animal food you eat, so that’s
meat and dairy, the higher your risk for cancer,
135
00:08:46,740 --> 00:08:49,060
the higher the rate of cancer.
136
00:08:49,060 --> 00:08:52,510
The less you eat, the lower the rate of cancer.
137
00:08:52,510 --> 00:08:59,430
So strict vegetarians, which are called vegans,
have the lowest rates of cancer in the world.
138
00:08:59,430 --> 00:09:03,750
People who eat lots and lots and lots of meat
and drink a lot of milk and eat a lot of cheese,
139
00:09:03,750 --> 00:09:07,230
they have the highest rates of cancer in the
world.
140
00:09:07,230 --> 00:09:08,360
Interesting.
141
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,900
That’s one reason I’m a vegetarian to
be honest.
142
00:09:11,900 --> 00:09:17,690
And another thing that you find is these people,
like Paul Bragg, like Jack LaLanne, these
143
00:09:17,690 --> 00:09:22,370
different people in different parts of the
world, they may not be total strict vegetarians.
144
00:09:22,370 --> 00:09:26,230
However, they eat very, very, very little
meat.
145
00:09:26,230 --> 00:09:31,500
They almost never drink milk or dairy products
or eat cheese.
146
00:09:31,500 --> 00:09:37,529
They are eating a lot of fresh organic vegetables
basically.
147
00:09:37,529 --> 00:09:40,160
And, of course, fruit as well.
148
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,000
I mean that’s the big secret.
149
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,709
Yes, you’ve got to exercise and move your
body.
150
00:09:43,709 --> 00:09:45,510
That’s another part of the book.
151
00:09:45,510 --> 00:09:51,820
He talks about that diet is one big factor
but also moving your body and getting a lot
152
00:09:51,820 --> 00:09:56,160
of exercise and physical activity, of course,
is very important as well.
153
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:01,251
Those two factors are the biggest factors
in determining how long you will live, how
154
00:10:01,251 --> 00:10:06,470
healthy you will be, how strong you will be,
how much energy you will have in your body.
155
00:10:06,470 --> 00:10:13,000
So, y’know, I never tell people “Be a
vegetarian” because it’s a personal choice,
156
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,730
I think people need to decide on their own.
157
00:10:14,730 --> 00:10:20,570
However, if your goal is to be a very healthy,
strong person, live a long time, reduce your
158
00:10:20,570 --> 00:10:24,920
risk for cancer, heart disease and a lot of
other things, you should think about it.
159
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:29,360
You should at least reduce your meat and dairy
intake a lot.
160
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,399
And, y’know, again don’t just believe
me.
161
00:10:32,399 --> 00:10:34,620
Maybe I’m just crazy AJ.
162
00:10:34,620 --> 00:10:36,310
Go look at the scientific research.
163
00:10:36,310 --> 00:10:39,029
Get the book Healthy at 100 by John Robbins.
164
00:10:39,029 --> 00:10:41,210
There’s a lot of other stuff out there.
165
00:10:41,210 --> 00:10:42,220
Do your research.
166
00:10:42,220 --> 00:10:45,110
Get on the internet if you want to and do
some research.
167
00:10:45,110 --> 00:10:51,639
But I encourage you reduce the amount of fat
and meat and cheese and milk and all that
168
00:10:51,639 --> 00:10:52,639
stuff.
169
00:10:52,639 --> 00:10:53,639
Get it out of your food.
170
00:10:53,639 --> 00:10:54,740
Get it out of your diet.
171
00:10:54,740 --> 00:11:00,100
Keep it out of your body and start eating
a whole lost more vegetables and fruit.
172
00:11:00,100 --> 00:11:04,089
Get some real healthy, vital, energetic food
into your body.
173
00:11:04,089 --> 00:11:08,750
You’re going to feel a lot better.
174
00:11:08,750 --> 00:11:12,449
And you’re going to get the same kind of
energy that people like Paul Bragg have, that
175
00:11:12,449 --> 00:11:17,470
Jack LaLanne has, that Tony Robbins has, that
I have.
176
00:11:17,470 --> 00:11:20,380
Alright, we’ll see you next time.
177
00:11:20,380 --> 00:11:20,940
Bye bye.
