Young people are getting sick, sicker
and sicker. A doctor said to me
recently, "But people are living much
longer." I said, "But they don't have
quality of life."
>> Exactly.
>> Actually, one of my uh guests told me,
"We're not living longer. We are dying
for longer." What are the main factors
that is contributing to this crisis?
>> A recent study showed that 50% of our
children are sick. There's something
wrong. There's something very wrong.
When I was a child, children weren't
sick. We got a cold in the winter and we
vomited if we ate something that wasn't
good, but we really didn't even go to
the doctor for that. And I was asked the
question, "What are your thoughts on
coffee?" And the whole room was silent.
>> So, with your age, I mean, you're still
very active. You look great. Like, tell
us about what is in a day in in your
life.
>> 30 push-ups. I do pull-ups there. do 20
of each of those squats, then lunges,
lunge stretches. If I was at home, I'd
be outside running up and down the
hills. And I would go to the swimming
pool and I would swim some laps. When
people say, "Barbara, how can I have
your energy at your age? How can I look
like you at your age?"
>> That's a great question. I say
>> me and my team, we've been putting so
much work and passion to bring you the
best stories from all around the world
and there's something that you can do
that help us a lot which is to
subscribe. It will mean the world to us
and it help us more than you think. I
think people ask you so many questions
but what is one question that you wish
people ask you more but they are not
asking?
The question is what can I do?
But one of the problems is I tell them
and they don't do it.
So what can I do is a very good question
but please be honest
because you're asking me and so if I
tell you please do it.
>> And why do you think people don't ask
that enough? Um, I think that we've been
brought up in a society where we've been
taught from a very young age to give our
health over to someone else.
>> Oh,
tell me more about that.
>> Well, as a child, that's what I was
brought up with. And, you know, I look
back now and it um it intrigues me that
my father was an inventor. We were
taught to question everything.
Everything except medicine.
>> Wow. you you never question medicine.
And when my mother got very sick, went
through all the medical
um you know, procedures that you go
through, she got worse and worse and
worse and then she died. And you know
what? We thought they did the best they
could. Do you know? I think they did,
but it's actually not the best option.
And that's something we did not know.
Oo,
we did not know that there was any other
option.
And if we'd been looking that
objectively, but it's very hard to look
at it objectively when you've been
brought up to consider, I can choose my
car, I can choose my clothes, I can
choose where I live,
>> but regarding my health, someone else
has to choose that for me. And no one
ever seems to look at that and think,
well, that actually doesn't make sense.
And even my father, who's an inventor,
my father, I had to learn how an engine
works before I could get my license.
That's the home I brought up in. But
regarding medicine, it's like you don't
touch that.
>> It's it's time to touch it. It's time to
question.
And and you know what in in my
conversations with with guests I mean in
the area of nutrition and also a lot of
my research I see more and more um
chronic disease are on the rise and
especially with young more and more
young young people um um mental health
issues um and I see that it looks like
that we are getting sicker uh we are um
And I think there's there's an issue
with with our health. And I would like
to to to ask you in in your opinion,
what are the main factors that is
contributing to this crisis?
>> The main factors are people aren't
looking after their bodies. They're not
taught how to do that.
>> Oh, they were not taught.
>> No, they're not. In fact, that's one one
one element sadly lacking in our
education system is how to look after
this body. And even people who are
trained in the system to look after your
body, the doctors, the nurses, they're
just as sick.
>> Yeah.
>> So, they're taught about the body, but
they're not taught how to apply it to
health. So the the so-called health
industry today, it's actually not a
health industry. It's a sickness
industry.
It's about time we renamed it.
>> Oh, it's a sick industry. And
>> it's a sickness industry.
>> A sickness industry.
>> It's actually not giving people health.
It's dealing with sickness, but it's not
the equation doesn't come out as health.
>> I see. it seems to come out as masking
symptoms. Um, but the people aren't
healing.
>> And what worries you the most in that?
>> What worries me the most and the hardest
thing I have to do is to break that
total trust that people have in the
medical profession. It's a it's a
unnerving trust. It's a scary trust. So
when people say, "But my doctor says
that I could go blind." And I said, "Do
you know that he's giving you the worst
>> case scenario and it might never
happen?"
>> And they're confronted when I say that
and I might say what my husband says.
Oh, I don't believe that.
>> He just he takes the bull by the horns,
does my husband? And a lady said to him
once, "But Michael, look what the tests
say." And he said, "Ah, I don't believe
that. And she said, "But they're medical
tests." She and he said to her, "Yeah,
but they could be wrong."
Now, what he has just said, no one ever
thinks. No one ever thinks. No one ever
seems to question. And and it's time for
us to question because it's actually not
working. A a recent study showed that
50% of our children are sick. There's
something wrong. There's something very
wrong. When I was a child, children
weren't sick. We got a cold in the
winter and we vomited if we ate
something that wasn't good.
But we really didn't even go to the
doctor for that.
>> You know, we just we just ate lightly
for a couple of days. You know, the
>> the people have forgotten how to look
after their bodies. And
>> and it's not only looking after it if
it's not well, it's how to
how to prevent it getting sick a
maintenance program.
>> Exactly. So do I think it looks like
what you're saying people rather than
working on prevention they are much more
relying okay when something happens then
I go and do something
>> then I'll do something.
>> Is it is it correct? That's what that's
our experience. It
>> it it absolutely is. In fact I I read in
one book they said we're like pigs. We
only look up when we're on our backs.
Not a very nice analogy, but I mean the
the saying is um I'm suddenly sick.
>> Why me, God?
>> You know what I say?
>> Why didn't it happen sooner?
>> Yeah.
>> We're not taught to go from cause to
effect.
>> And Newton's third law of motion, to
every action there's an equal and an
opposite reaction. Scientists are taught
that. I say to people, we should be
scientists. We actually should be
private investigators. We should be
lawyers. We should be all of that.
Assessing the situation, looking at
someone who's not sick and thinking, how
come they're not sick? What are they
doing to keep well? Now, I guess I used
to say everyone in their 20s and 30s is
all well, but actually they're not now.
And that's exactly what you one of the
first things that you said was young
people young people are getting sick
sicker and sicker. It's actually not
getting better.
>> And a a doctor said to me recently when
we were talking about this this was in
Amsterdam. She said, "Oh yes, but people
are living much longer." I said, "But
they don't have quality of life."
>> Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. I don't want to
spend the last 20 years of my life uh in
a wheelchair
>> in in an old folks home looking at a
screen every day watching movies all
day. That No, no, no, no, no. I I I
don't want that. I want to feel good
every day.
>> Yeah. Actually, one of my uh guests told
me, "We're not living longer. We are
dying for longer.
which is exactly
>> that's that's a good point. That's a
good point because um I want to be like
my friend Hec.
>> He was 92. He just had a little nap
after lunch. He was going to mow that
afternoon, mow the lawn, but he never
woke up.
>> How nice. Because the fact is we've all
got to die. But you're right, people are
dying too young and people are dying
painfully.
Not in every case, but in the majority
of cases, the way we live determines the
way we die.
>> I see. And do you do you see any is
there a belief that people they have
about their health that is really
harming their health? something that
they were they were either taught or
>> um I I think I think the the harmful
thing is
to give your you know that we the
medical profession we're the ones that
have jurisdiction over over your health
and if you get sick we've got a a tablet
for that
>> and if you get eczema we've got a cream
and it goes away
for a week
>> then it comes back worse Yes. Then you
put it back on, it'll go away for 6 and
1/2 days. And you put it back on,
that'll go away for 6 days. And it it
it's actually the definition of insanity
really,
>> which is to do what you've always done,
expect different results. The
>> this um the system's not working.
>> Now, in a crisis, we're very thankful
for it. There's no doubt about that.
Surgery has come a long way. No doubt
about that. But I was being interviewed
by Doc Malik and he's a British
orthopedic surgeon. He said I I was
looking at this. It wasn't making sense.
So I started to to um divert my patients
to more water, eating better food,
physiootherapist. He said I got to the
point where I was only operating on 5%
of my patients.
And he said my colleagues are operating
on 50% of their patients. so simple and
I think that's one of the reasons it's
almost bypassed. It's actually too
simple.
>> So that if it's too simple, why do you
think are people not looking serious at
that because they see everything is
there you know they see their health
going their health is getting worse
they're getting more stressed you know
um and they see people dying near them.
Why do you think if that if it's that
simple why do you think that happens? I
think it takes work and I think we're
Yeah. Yeah. And I I also think it's um
touching in a few areas that people are
very comfortable with and don't really
want to change.
>> And there's a a wonderful poem. It's
called Choose Your Hard. Marriage is
hard. Divorce is hard. Choose your hard.
Saving every scent is hard. Being in
debt is hard. Choose your hard.
Exercising every day it's hard. Being
obese is hard. Choose your heart.
>> Life is hard, but we thank God we can
choose our heart. So, I choose my heart.
And I have to tell you, it's not very
hard. It's not very hard to go to bed
early. It's not very hard to drink my
eight glasses of water a day. It's
really not hard to exercise every day
because I feel so good. It's not hard to
eat plant-based,
you know, well-prepared food. the the
issue they think is hard. Once you start
doing it, it's it's not hard. The hard
thing, I think, is breaking the habit.
>> Oh.
>> Oh.
Breaking the habit. And we are creatures
of habit. But the good news is we've got
a brain that can be changed. We've got a
brain that's called rewired. Uh a
softwired. And it can be rewired.
Neuroplasticity.
It's as simple as this. If you say you
can, you will. If you say you can't,
>> you you won't. I love doing cold
plunges. Now, some would say that's too
hard. Well, I analyzed it. I've been
doing for 15 years. The hardest part is
the thought.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, you've you've been
doing for 15 years.
>> I look at the I look at the mist coming
off the water and I say to my friend,
"Oh, looks like it's going to be hot
today. Look at the steam.
Yeah.
>> And we laugh and and I've got a little
video clip of me plunging in the
>> We're in Maryland. It's very cold. That
was just a few weeks ago. I've got a
woolen beanie on my head. I don't put my
head under because then my hair takes
two hours to dry.
>> I just uh plunge the body in.
>> And ah when you get out, it's almost
like you've had an injection of power.
Someone's plugged you in and
>> yeah,
>> you come alive. It's um it it takes a
little effort
>> exactly
>> to get up early. You got to go to bed
early.
Um
I I have it all very comfortable there.
I have a little towel. I have another
towel to stand on. I have my nice warm
woollies there. I've got a big New
Zealand woolen poncho that I can
modestly change under. Do you know what
I mean? you make it as uh easy as you
can, but
to me that's not hard. But to a lot of
people, oh that would be too hard.
>> Yeah.
>> If they say that to me, I say it's your
thought.
It's it's in the thought. And what an
amazing boost to the immune system. What
an amazing boost those um cold shock
hormones do to the whole body. So when
people say, "Barbara, how can I have
your energy at your age? How can I look
like you at your age?"
>> That's a great question.
>> I say, "You really want to know?"
>> Or are you ready to do
>> Are you ready
>> to do what I do?
>> Are you ready?
>> Yes, they say I am. Well, it's going to
bed a little bit earlier. Oh,
it's drinking more. Oh, it's actually
easing off the coffee. Oh, and and I
think it just all sounds incredibly
hard. And
>> I've always maintained that's the beauty
of a health retreat because we do it all
for you for a week and then when you go
home, you're sort of so far down the
road. Takes 21 days to form a new habit.
>> So after seven days of the retreat,
you're a third of the way there. But not
everyone can do that. Not everyone can
afford the time or the money to do that.
But what we do at the retreat, the first
two days are fasting days. And I think
that's a really
>> about cleaning. It's about cleaning.
>> Yeah. It's a really good good way to
start is just go on juices for a couple
of days.
>> And um and while you're juicing, uh make
sure your cupboards have had a cleanse.
Everything out that you know is not good
and everything in that you know is going
to be right. And you're you're basically
turning a new page. M
>> and I I think that that's a good way to
make it easier for yourself.
>> You know, you can't say, "Right, I'm
going to stop sugar and the cupboards
full of sugar biscuits and lollies and
candies." Now, you um
>> you've you've actually got to make it a
little easier for yourself by
anticipating
where you'll be when it's like lunch.
You should be thinking about lunch or
breakfast. Yeah,
>> breakfast. You should think about
breakfast the night before. The worst
time is to think about lunch is when
you're hungry because you'll just reach
for the fastest. So, all those little
tools, I guess. That's that's what I
like to do. Not only teach, but I like
to come as a social worker
>> and show people how well this is how you
could do that.
>> You could start here and then it's a
reachable program. M
>> but I'll tell you something funny. I was
speaking at a function yesterday. It was
a wellness speaking to about 100 people
and I was asked the question, "What are
your thoughts on coffee?" And the whole
room was silent.
>> Now I I like to be honest.
>> Yes, please.
>> And I said, "Well,
at our health retreat, I see the people
suffer." M
>> first day especially from their caffeine
withdrawals. That's enough for me. I
walk past the coffee shop.
I breathe in beautiful aroma. I keep
walking because I know what it does. It
causes a crisis response which disrupts
the neurotransmitters in the brain and
that they get disrupted every day,
several times a day.
>> After a few years, you're starting to
look at anxiety. You're starting to look
at depression. You're starting to look
at adrenal exhaustion because where did
the hit come from? Not the food because
you didn't eat food. You just
>> drank coffee and it came so quick as
time to come from your foods come from
your adrenal glands. So eventually
there's adrenal exhaustion and you've
got no energy at all. And everyone
blames age. Poor old age
gets gets blamed for so many problems.
>> The easiest one to blame. And the other
thing that I think in this wellness
center we are looking at strong bones.
We want strong bones.
>> And because the caffeine causes a acid
uh response in the body,
>> the body immediately counteracts that by
pulling out some calcium from the bone.
So what's happening to the bones and the
teeth? They're getting a little weaker
>> and a little weaker. And of course, this
isn't happening overnight. This is
little by little by little it's they're
being eaten away at and how many ladies
by the age of 60 are being diagnosed
with osteoporosis or osteopenia
and the other which
>> I think a lot of ladies listen to this
one it's a great dehydrator and the the
organ that feels that is the skin so
ladies it's going to age you very
quickly the wrinkles are going to come a
little too early. So they're three
pretty important subjects. And so while
the whole audience are reeling a little
bit
this information,
>> I say but try dandelion chai.
>> Try turmeric almond latte.
>> There are some alternatives. And that's
where I come in as the social worker.
>> Oh, I see. And if you are a coffee
drinker, don't stop
>> or you'll be a mess.
>> You've got to ease off it.
>> Another clear indication of how
addictive it is.
>> Yeah, it is true. Yeah. The people that
I don't drink coffee, but the the my
friends who drink is like, "Oh, I need
my coffee otherwise I don't function."
It's exactly what you're saying.
>> So, if someone wanted to uh conquer
Dubai, all they'd have to do is stop the
coffee. Is that right?
or any capital city in the world,
the they they'd be crippled.
>> Cuz I I look at the people on day one at
our retreat and one lady, she could not
even get out of bed. She was vomiting,
their headaches, and not everyone reacts
like that. You know, different people
react in every way, but everyone reacts.
M
so basic basically what I understand is
like you're saying that people are not
taking responsibility about their health
>> um and uh what it looks like is that um
people are they they don't want to do
the the hard things you know they don't
want they want to do it what is easy
right and uh and that is taking people
to have habits that doesn't help them
and it's taking them in the direction
what we are talking about about more
chronic disease about whatever is
happening. Yeah. So now let's flip it
and let's see the the the the like what
can we do what what can we do maybe do
you have a do you have a what what has
been one of I mean of course I know that
you have many stories but what has been
one of story that particularly touched
you or even looked like a miracle for
someone that came to you with a really a
bad condition and through natural in a
natural way was able to heal. Yes, we
we've seen it happen many times. It's
not quick, but I'll tell you an amusing
story that happened in Transennylvania
>> only a couple of months ago. A man got
up and told his story. He said, "I'm a
twin."
>> Now, he was fit, well-built, 40.
>> He said, "I'm a twin." He said, "My twin
brother and I were covered in
lipomomas." Now, they're those fatty
lumps. A lot of people are getting fatty
lumps. Mhm.
>> You know, one theory is that it's just
one way the body deals with so many
environmental poisons we're exposed to
day. It locks it up in those fat.
>> Oh,
>> in those fatty lumps.
>> Yeah.
>> He said, "My wife was watching Barbara
O'Neal.
My wife's been watching the lectures and
she saw me going down, down, down, and
she came in one day and she said, "I'm
taking control."
She smiled very sweetly and he said he'd
let her because life was not good
>> and he was only late 30s.
>> He said she threw all my clothes out.
He said all that's I've got now is
linen, cotton, some models, which is the
cellulose spun from the birch tree.
>> Mhm.
>> He said, "I went to clean the bathroom
and all that's there is white vinegar
and sodium bicarbonate." Mhm.
>> He said, "In the fridge there's just
organic fruits and vegetables." He said,
"She totally
>> changed our house. She totally changed
our life, my life." He said, I think it
I can't remember the exact time, but he
said it's 6 months later now. Instead of
a 100 lomas, I've got five.
>> He said, "I I haven't felt this good
since I was in my 40s."
And he said, "At first I was not very
happy with my wife, but he said I'm very
happy with my wife now."
>> He said, "My twin brother still has 100
lapomomas."
So that was a very powerful story
because there was the man and he looked
good.
He he was fit, trim.
>> Um and that that I felt was a remarkable
story.
>> Yeah. And what I like is that was that
was all about changing the environment,
right? It's about you change the
environment in a way that helps you to
take the best decisions for you. Like
what are some ways at people can at home
um create some Yeah. in their
environment create some little habits
that help them go in the same direction
as for example that that person.
>> Well, I think one of the first things is
just drink more water.
>> Okay. Okay.
>> And then how do we get all the water?
And you go to bed with a glass of water
next to you.
>> Okay.
>> And the first thing you do when you wake
up is have that glass of water.
Actually, you have a little bit of the
Celtic or Baja salt, which are both
handh harvested sea salts that have
retained all the minerals.
>> Have a little bit of that.
>> Dr. Robert Thompson, he said, if you
have a little crystal of of Celtic or
Baja salt before you begin every glass
of water eight times a day, all you're
doing is replacing every in in
>> take it in your mouth, crunch it, and
then drink it down.
>> Okay,
>> before you start every glass,
>> he said, "All you're doing is replacing
the minerals you lost yesterday." He
read a book called The Calcium Lie, and
he just shows now our bones made of
calcium, they're made of minerals. So,
just starting with that little bit of
salt and that water. And that's a very
popular lecture of mine. And I think
it's because it's attainable,
>> it's reachable. I can actually as soon
as we stop speaking here I can go and
get some salt and drink some water.
>> That's very attainable.
>> But you you put it in the water or you
just put it in in the mouth and then
>> and the mucous membranes absorb the
minerals.
>> Yeah.
>> That when you're crunching it
>> into the blood, you drink the water and
the magnesium pulls the water inside the
cell.
>> Oh, I see.
>> Right at the cellular level. So that is
a good place to start. And the other is
to start aiming for earlier nights.
>> That's that's a big one with most people
today. And so when I give a lecture on
sleep and I show that the hours before
midnight are the most uh effective at
slowing down aging, increasing brain
capacity, but also cleaning the brain.
>> Yeah.
>> Cleaning the brain, making it all ready
for the day. Why does a person need
coffee in the morning? Cuz they went to
bed too late and the glimpmphatic system
couldn't clean up their brain cells
because they didn't get to bed till
midnight or 1:00 in the morning. So,
it's it's very simple things like that.
And movement is life. Start moving this
body.
Start exercising. Get a little
rebounder. That's an easy one. Rebound
for a minute every hour in the office. I
tell you what the your productivity in
that office would rise.
>> Yeah.
>> So just such simple things start eating
more fruits and vegetables
>> not just carbs carbs carbs which are
your fast easy foods.
>> So very simple little things like that.
At lunchtime go outside let let some
sun's rays go on your face. And oh
that's right. It's got a lot of makeup
on the face. So we have to do it before
the makeup goes on.
>> So just simple simple little things. And
I I really believe that's one of the
reasons that my lectures have become so
popular because it's very reachable
>> and it's very simple.
>> Very simple. I guess it's harder for the
more wealthy because they're happy to
pay an enormous amount of money for this
product or this product.
But even they're interested because the
products aren't doing it anymore.
>> Yeah. Yeah. I like all of those habits
if like someone is uh um listening and
if like what would be one that can have
a more impact in their life if they even
if they stick with one if they're not
doing anything with one which one which
one would be?
>> That's a very hard question.
>> I know I'd like to ask hard questions.
>> I think it's I think it's water. So
hydration
>> it's the water is well oxygen is the
most vital element in for life but water
is number
>> is number two number two just drinking
more water 85% from neck up water 75%
neck down
>> water we got no reserve tank on the back
the only water that goes in is the water
that we're drinking and sorry tea coffee
yes it's got water in it but it's also
got dehydrating ing agent. So, it's
actually not doing it.
>> Soda, juices. Sorry. How clean would
your body be if you washed it in soda or
juice? It's It's got to be that water.
>> I see. Okay. So, hydration. Yeah. Our
body is mostly made of water, right?
Okay. And what about I mean you you are
um you are what 42 years old, right?
>> I used to be.
I was 30 years ago.
>> So with your age, I mean, you're still
very active. You're still very
passionate about your mission. You keep
traveling. I mean, you you look great.
Like tell us about what is what what is
in a day in in your life since you wake
up? What time you wake up and then what
do you do?
>> It's like this Rodriguez, I found a
formula.
>> Oh my god. Get ready, guys. Now, now we
are going to She's going to share the
formula. This formula sustains me and
I've actually put it in the acronym
sustain me. So soon as I wake up in the
morning, this is the second one, use of
water. I have salt beside my bed. I have
water beside my bed.
>> Yeah.
>> And
>> so what time you wake up?
>> Uh
I try and go to bed 9 9:30 and wake 5
5:30.
>> Okay.
>> That that is my usual habit.
>> Okay. Half of our audience already
fainted. Just so you
>> choose your hard.
>> Exactly.
>> All right. And then you have your water
with salt.
>> Yes. And then I usually get to visit the
bathroom and I have a bit more water.
Then I pray. I have a little bit more
water. I want to be connected with the
author and creator of this body
>> because he's the author and the creator.
And he can give me wisdom. He can give
me guidance as to how I'm to treat the
body today, what I'm to say. So this
morning I said, "Father in heaven, give
me the words to say, you know, the
people that are listening." So I love
being connected with my father in
heaven. So that's a very important
point. So when you get to T and sustain
me, it's trust. Trust in divine power.
Starting at sunshine, which is the first
S. Well, no sun up yet, but I I'll I'll
get there. use of water. I try for eight
glasses a day. I stop half an hour
before the meal and I resume about an
hour and a half after the meal.
>> So, what do you mean? You you stop what?
You stop the
>> water.
>> Oh, you stop water. Yeah. Because
>> And that allows my stomach to be nice
and ready for the meal.
>> So that when I start seeing the food,
the food's coming to my mouth. I see it.
>> Nose smells it. Brain says right. And
they release the hydrochloric acid.
>> Okay. so that I can digest my food well
because doesn't matter how I eat. I can
be eating the best food on the planet,
but if I'm not giving my stomach the
right conditions,
>> unfortunately, it's going to end up out
the other end. I must
>> ensure proper digestion. So, that's very
important to me. So, what did I have for
breakfast? Oh, sorry. 30 push-ups.
>> You do 30 push-ups.
>> Ladies push-ups. I'm a lady, so I can do
my ladies push-ups. 30 push-ups. Those
last five I'm really it's really pulling
at me and I'm thinking yes this is this
is getting my strength and then I went
out on my little verander or porch and I
put my hands under the railing and I I
do pull-ups there and then I do pull-ups
that way. Do 20 of each of those squats
>> usually maybe 10 15 squats. Uh then
lunges, lunge stretches. If I was at
home, I'd be outside running up and down
the hills. But on them on the 30th floor
in Dubai and I would go to the swimming
pool, but it doesn't open till 7:00
>> and I would swim some laps. But I did
that yesterday afternoon. Swam swam a
few laps. And yesterday afternoon I went
and laid in the sun, but unfortunately
it was going down behind the building.
So, I only got about 10 minutes on the
body getting my vitamin D. So, we've got
sunshine, use of water, sleep. Yes, I I
aim for those eight hours. Trust in God.
I surrender my whole life to him every
single morning. I feel I can do no
better thing. Next one's abstain. I
don't take anything into the body that
will harm it.
>> So, no
>> like what? No caffeine, no refined
sugar, no alcohol, no no drugs, no
chemicals. Drugs are actually chemicals.
Someone stayed in our apartment recently
and oh dear, chemical cleaning products.
They went straight in the bin.
I have I have all uh biodegradable
cleaning products and uh so I don't take
anything into the body that will harm my
body. I inhale as I was doing my
push-ups only through the nose in and
out through the nose because nose
purifies warms humidifies the air making
it perfect for my lungs. Hardest time is
when you're up to 25 push-ups getting to
the 30th. Maybe for a strong young man
it' be when he gets to 50 push-ups.
And so I always inhale through my nose.
I always use my abdominal muscles in the
breathing process. So, my lungs are
getting their full expansion because I
want oxygen at the cellular level. If I
get oxygen at the cellular level, I've
got 18 times more energy. How good is
that? So, now we're into the N in the
sustained nutrition. Let me tell you my
breakfast this morning. I found figs.
Oh, how I love figs.
Found some figs. I had two figs. I had
chia seeds that were soaking every
night. So, I just put a lump of chia
seed jelly on half a fig and eat that.
Delicious. I also had some blueberries.
I also had some raspberries. I had some
almonds. I had some Brazil's for my
selenium and help my thyroid. And then I
had some sourdough toast with extra
virgin organic olive oil. And then 120
heat units caye pepper sprinkled all
over that. And then half an avocado. And
then red lentils that I had cooked with
turmeric and some herbs and Celtic salt
and um there was my breakfast. And I
know that I will not be hungry for about
5 hours on that because I had the three
essential food groups. I had lots of
fiber. Everything had fiber. I had great
proteins in my nuts, my seeds, my uh
lentils. Also, the sourdough process uh
increases the protein content of the
grain and fats. I had great fats in my
olive oil, uh chia, and the nuts and
seeds. So, I ensure that I'm having a
high fiber, generous protein, great fats
breakfast.
Me, that's the last two. uh moderation
in all the good things.
I did not have four or five slices of
sourdough bread. I did not have 20 nuts.
I did not over overdo it. And if I'm
able to get some earlier sun today, I
will not overdo that or I will get
burnt. I wear I never wear sunscreen. I
take this thing on my wrist here. It's
called watch.
15 minutes front, 15 minutes back, then
in the shade.
>> What do you mean?
>> 15 minutes sun exposure
>> on my body front. 15 minutes sun
exposure on my back.
>> That's it.
>> If I do half an hour, I'll start to burn
a little.
>> Okay. Yeah.
>> It's called common sense.
>> Moderation.
>> It's been a bit lost today. Yeah. We're
in the moderation.
>> Yeah.
>> So, moderation in all the good things.
>> And the last one is exercise.
Stagnant pools breed disease and
stagnant bodies breed disease. So one of
the reasons so many people deteriorate
today is because their bodies don't
move.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> So there's my sustain me principles.
Going back to the number two use of
water. I don't have a cold plunge here
in Dubai.
>> A man told me if you come to my gym I've
got one.
>> But have you seen the traffic in Dubai
lately?
It will affect all the other parts of
your health, right? Yeah.
>> And takes too long. So, I'll uh I'll
dive into the pool. It's not really cold
here. The pool's not very cold. I had a
hot spa and then dived into the pool. I
was with my daughter and she went well,
I didn't go because I'm used to ice
cold. To me, it was just oh yeah, it's a
bit cool.
>> Do you think you can summarize the now
the entire acronym? Yes, it's uh
sunshine, use of water,
uh sleep, trusting God, abstain from
anything harmful, inhale through the
nose, always through the nose,
nutrition,
moderation in all the good things
and exercise every day.
>> Oh, lovely. Yeah. And all like uh most
of that it's it's available for free.
That's the the beauty.
>> It is. It is available. But I also
believe another part to start is start
for earlier nights.
>> That's a really really big one. And a
lot of people don't realize this, you
know, the buy now pay later. Um taking
coffee to give the lift, going to bed
very very late. We're seeing in fact I
just read a news news shot report quick
on came up on my phone. The heart
disease has been the number one killer
in Australia. Alzheimer's is overtaking
that.
>> 1700 cases of Alzheimer's being
diagnosed weekly in Australia. And I'm a
Bible student. It's not mentioned in the
Bible. No cases of Alzheimer's. In fact,
it was rare 150 years ago. So, what's
happening? Has the electric light got
something to do with it? Yes, it's
keeping people up late. The lymphatic
system isn't able to detox and cleanse
their brain. So, little classified
deposits are building up. The people are
dehydrated. It's not just one thing that
causes Alzheimer's.
>> I like this analogy. You get a strong
rope.
>> A strong man cannot break that rope. But
a little tiny mouse can come along and
nibble
>> thread after thread after thread. That
little mouse that a strong man could
stomp on and kill in a moment can break
the rope that that strong man could not
break.
>> That's a that's a really nice analogy.
>> And of course to heal the rope, we got
to join every thread.
>> Yeah. Yeah.
>> What what are the threads? Um, sunshine,
use of water, sleep, trusting God,
abstain from the harmful, inhale through
the nose,
nourishing food, moderation in the good
things, exercise, and we put the rope
back together.
>> Wow.
>> We put the rope back together. And that
man that stood there who had a hundred
lipomomas all over him and now only had
five, and he said, "Talk to me in six
months. We're hoping those other five
are gone." Ah
>> um and of course one of the abstains is
the chemicals.
>> Yeah.
>> And the chemicals in our fabrics. So I
have
>> 100% cotton shirt here. I have a rayon
skirt and that's made out of wood.
Underneath I have a silk petticoat on. I
won't go any further, but it's neutral.
So ladies, you can look beautiful in in
natural. And what I love about the
Middle East is your fabrics.
>> Yeah.
>> Your silks, your
>> your cashmere, your pashmir, your fine
wools, and also the linen. So many
beautiful fabrics that these areas have
been known for, but the polyester is
creeping in.
And I'm very fussy as to where my dollar
goes. I don't want to put any dollar
towards any chemical, but the fabrics,
this is something that's a surprise to
most people.
>> So that's nylon, acrylic, and polyester.
>> Lovely. Just to finalize, what is one
message that you would love people to
remember from this conversation? If
there's only one thing,
>> the message I'd like to remember is
you can do this because it's so simple.
>> Yeah. So lovely, Barbara. That was
beautiful. I really enjoyed our
conversation. Thank you for sharing your
your wisdom and also for your energy and
inspiration. Thank you.
>> It it is my pleasure, Rodriguez, because
I want to see people well. Wow.
