 The following is a presentation of TFNN. Time to talk about your health. Living a primal lifestyle. You know, we have Tom from Tampa on the phone. Hey, Tom, good morning. It's bright and early now, huh? Hey, hey, good. How you guys doing? Good. Good. Hey, uh, peer-to-peer players outstanding that. Outstanding that is outstanding. And so is the primal edge. I love that stuff. I'd never be without it. I mean, I've been on it now for three, four months, man. I mean, it's just, I can't get over how good I feel. Primal edge is, uh, you know, people are raving about it. People who are trying it, they know because you can feel it. We'd not be without it. Call now. Toll free at 1-877-927-6648. Now, your hosts, Niko Dahan and Paige Clark. Good morning. I'm Niko Dahan. And welcome to Living a Primal Lifestyle where we explore a return to a more balanced than natural wild world. To recover our natural health and regain our rights and our freedoms. Good morning. I'm Paige Clark. That's a beautiful morning in downtown St. Petersburg. Clear skies and 78 degrees. I like the little touch of fall. A little fall is in the air. That's for sure. Make sure to subscribe to our Health Signals newsletter. This is news you can use in your inbox. It kind of follows our show and keeps you up to date on the latest stuff. Yeah, in fact, we have issue 19 coming out today. So we're looking for that. And of course, this follows our show.

So it's easy to take and it keeps the good stuff in. And the best step out with Nature's Miracle Molecule Fulvic and Humic Acid. That's right. So, Niko. Yes. You know, last show we were talking a lot about how there seems to be such a push to move us towards plant-based diet. Yeah, that's the agenda, seems like. And you know, whether or not that's for our better health or for the environment, there's people on both sides of the fence. So let's dig into this article. I think this is really significant because it was in the New York Times. It's a recently released study that reveals scientists have said eating less red meat may be bad advice. And the evidence is too weak to justify telling individuals to eat less beef and pork according to new research. The findings, a road public trust. And for years, public officials have been urging Americans to limit consumption of red meat and processed meats. Notice they put those two together. Yeah, and that's a very interesting part of it because they always put the red meat and the processed meats, which is not the same. And all processed meat is not the same either. I mean, you can take a nice chunk of beef and make some hamburger out of it. That's a process. Right. Or even sausage as people in your part of the world where you came from. Definitely. What they do. This is not necessarily the same thing as these. What we're talking about when we say processed meat, I think this is what they mean. This is what I would mean is that you're filling it with a bunch of fillers. Which might be grain-based. Right. You're using really low-grade meats, the throwaway kind of stuff. So this is the way you get rid of it and you subsidize it. That's the kind of meat we're talking about. Typically we think about hot dogs and things like that. But we don't necessarily think about the nice sausages that come from Poland or come from Holland, Germany, or Italy. From grass-fed animals. Yeah, exactly. So, you know, there's a distinction and they always lump those two together because that's the... And that confuses people. Yeah, and that's the red button kind of. But on Monday this week, right hot off the press in a remarkable turnabout, an international collaboration of researchers produced a series of analyses that concluded that the advice, which was a bedrock of all this new dietary advice, is not backed by good science. It's fouled science. And it kind of makes sense, folks, when you think about it. A primal man was not able to toss up an Asian salad. I mean, it just doesn't really make a lot of sense. That's for sure. Well, the certainty of evidence about these reduced reductions are very low. Or low to very low, they say. The studies are among the largest nutrition evaluations ever attempted and may influence future dietary recommendations. I doubt that because the agenda really is pushing the other way. Well, and let's take a look at it. When there are people away from animal-based proteins as foods, then they're going to go down the freezer aisle. And there's going to be little packs of linguine with Alfredo's sauce and maybe with some happy couple little sprigs of broccoli. It's a lot easier to fix. You just put it in a pan and it's done in a few minutes. Already there have been fierce criticism by public health researchers. And who would they be? Yeah, the American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, Harvard, the Chan School of Public Health and other groups have savagely savaged the findings and the journals that publish it. They always go after the messenger instead of digging into the science of the thing. I think that's really great. Harvard actually warned the conclusions, harmed the credibility of nutrition science and wrote public trust and scientific research. Well, as we've already stated on the show, the chief editor of the New England Journal of Medicine said that research, medical research, can no longer be studied because there's entrusted because of the lobbyists and so forth, paid for research. Right. Remember that? Yeah. Right. These used to be a symbol of high social class, but that's changing. Dr. Frank Hu is the chairman of the nutrition department at Harvard Chan School of Public Health. Today, the more highly educated Americans are eating less meat than they usually eat, they're saying. And this is because of the propaganda, I believe. And this is about, like you said, trying to make it cool to not be a meat eater when, in fact, if you go back and you watch old movies that were set in medieval times, the king is eating the deer and the peasants are eating a little porridge, right? From the rice or the milk? Right. Yeah, just little scraps and scraps of bread. Well, they're farmers. Yeah, they're not hunters. They can't. I can't. Remember that hunting was... That was that divide. Yeah, but the hunting was the aristocracy. Correct. You know, so you had to be a certain level of a human being to even allow to hunt. Otherwise, you were the outlaw. So the only thing you could do was farm. And farming, of course, was important too because during hard times, the king also needed that. And as they went on, the king was also making bread and cake because they were gluttonous. And becoming gluttonous. Yeah, exactly. And they were doing both. Right. But I guarantee it wasn't the great meat he was eating. It was probably all the other things that he was eating too and not having any exercise there, playing games and doing all kinds of things in the castle. So here goes the propaganda, folks. The prospect of a renewed appetite for red meat also runs counter to two other important trends. One is growing awareness of the environmental degradation caused by livestock production, livestock production as we do it. Not the way we should be doing it, right? Because there's plenty of it. We talked about this on our last show. There's plenty of people who have the idea of simulating what our ancestors did in the wild. So we no longer have the wild, but there are ways of doing it. And of course, we have people here in this country doing that too. And number two, the longstanding concern about the welfare of animals employed in industrial farming and no one can agree that treating animals the way they are is a sound practice. Yeah. If you want a real education, you visit sites that have these little farms like the White Orchard, which is up in Georgia. White pastures. White pastures. That's one good slip of the tongue there. But these are great people and they send me newsletters all the time inviting me up to see their place because they're open to the public. You can take a tour. You can watch the slaughtering. You can stay in one of their beds and breakfast. And they have lunch and dinner. And I think breakfast is just about every single day. So that's the type of experience you want to experience because that'll teach you. A reminder of where our food comes from. We connected. John, thank you. Says Paige and Nico, thank you so much for speaking. Some truth of our food supply. Good to keep some of us grounded. It's so true. And if you stop and think about it, many of our kids today don't even really know where it comes from. I think it's so important with my grandkids and stuff. I really want them to have like farm strips. I want them to understand the way, you know, not the farm. I want them to learn about hunting. I have my nephew that hunts his family's food. I'm really proud of it. That's for sure. Stick around, folks. We'll be right back. You know what's cool? Taking something that's good for you. Something specifically formulated to help with weight loss, better sleep, stress reduction, and the need to detox. Nico, our hunter and gatherer ancestors found all their nutritional requirements for health in their wild environment.

We're having some great comments in the chat room and, you know, John said, guiding us humans like a herd of sheep is quite easy. Just make the desired behavior fashionable. And that's the bingo. That's what Nico and I are trying to suggest. Much of what we're reading is to guide us and make us, I mean, the media, there's so much fake news and molding of what our thoughts are. He brings up the great movie, Soil and Green, which in 1973 kind of blew my mind at the end there when Charlton Hessens realized that the retirement plan was the food. They were going to be the food. Yeah, that's pretty... I just got goosebumps over that. Soil and Green is a must-see movie. It was made in 1973, but, you know, future proves past. It's a great movie. I haven't seen it on both the end for you, but pretty much it's... Yeah, we live in an upside-down world. As he says, fact is fiction and fiction is fact. That is so true. So let's go to this next article. The way that speaks to your genes, have you ever wondered what we eat and how it affects our genes? Well, we're going to talk a little bit about this, and a registered dietitian, Amanda Archibald, has a new book, The Genomic Kitchen, Your Guide to Understanding and Using the Food, Gene Connections for a Lifetime of Health. And our diets are crucial for our health and for our DNA. Remember, our DNA is the blueprint. It's the plan. But what we do is the epigenetics are above the genes, and how that blueprint is employed determines on what we drink, eat, sleep, move, think. Yeah. Genomic medicine offers a new approach to personalizing healthcare. It uses unique gene blueprint as a powerful insight to see how your genes respond to nutrients as well as exercise and life stressors and, of course, environmental pollutions and, of course, the medications and things like that. I think one of the ways you could look at it is you just take a sample of the bugs in your intestines and in your stomach. I think that's going to be a huge area. You know what we're talking about? Maybe a sick person getting an inoculation of someone else's flora via a stool sample. I think, as we know, the bacteria are 10 times more prolific in our body than our own cells. We're more bacteria than we are us. That's what makes the presentation. The whole process is really neat. This culinary genomics is a term I devised. The author says to describe the union of genetic science, nutrition science and food science. How food responds to growing, storing and cooking techniques. This is really important because this is what our ancestors found out when times got tough. Somehow they figured out that fermenting foods, cooking them for a long time... Moving towards agriculture because the meat was the king's meat. Not only that, but just think in primitive times there's a big storm now. Hunting is gone because the animals have left. So now you've got to go after the animals, but they're gone a long time. So now you're without food for days and days. What do you do? You start looking for other things. It's kind of like the deer. The deer don't want to eat the bark off the tree. But they will when hard times come. Exactly. The resourcefulness that really has enabled some of the foods that have helped us survive and been good to our genomic continuation. That's right. Fermented foods are a foundational component of culinary genomics since the gut and its microbiome is the gateway to health. So a finely tuned gut allows us to absorb the nutrients that serve as information to the body and its complex biological processes. There's also things that happen when we just chop things up. There's a compound Sulforaphane. Which is actually the really powerful compound in cruciferous vegetables. That's right. And when you chop cabbage or bite into Brussels sprouts, you activate this infanential gene that has a real dynamic effect on your health. This is the same compound that can be produced by the beneficial bacteria. So this works in unison. This is why cabbage, make it sour and things like that are really good for your gut. They feel good. The study of genomics can help uncover why some people struggle more with their weight than others and why some people maybe like to suffer from anxiety or other mood disorders including blood sugar but as we start to understand the nature of food and the environment through using what we now know some of the science of genomics and applying some common sense can help people eat the foods that really help them to thrive in their particular situations. It's kind of a new era in food and in medicine. And in health. The author says here we are at the dawn of a new era in food and also a new era in medicine never before has the kitchen played a more pivotal role in health. I think probably never before again I think it was to our ancestors the food was everything. In the environment and the medicine man was right there. So we have finally reached a moment where we can empirically trace the evidence and trace the connections between the food and how you choose to prepare it and how that affects your personal biochemistry and they're now walking hand in hand medicine and culinary arts, food as medicine which is what we've been talking about and lifestyle as medicine. But I think it's always interesting to look at the samurai story that you told years ago where the samurai had his meat wrapped into the rice and he kept it in his bag and he was fighting for so long the stuff started turning rancid and this is it was actually the soybeans, wasn't it? The soybeans were wrapped. They made the natto which we now know is the world's most popular form of a vegetable or a bean instead of from the animal. So the process made the K2 for us essential because without the K2 you die. Yeah, exactly. And it really is only found in meat except when you ferment things. Isn't that so cool? So you know she goes on but let's talk let's give you an example of how say a root vegetable which root vegetables are coming in. We're into the fall but a root vegetable how does this help your body activate its personal blueprint? For example apples contain quercetin which is a bioactive that can activate or turn on the fire hose pathway we call NRF2. Quercetin can also block activation of pro-inflammatory genes which are the TNF alpha and the NFKB pathway. Long story short these are inflammation pathways and we know that quercetin which is found in things like onions and garlics and apples I call it white stuff. See, quercetin is usually found in white stuff the white part of an apple you know the onions and so forth. For example the addition of arugula watercress or baby kale or bok choy leaves just prior to serving this vegetable slaw that we're making provides sulfuricane which we just talked about another bioactive which activates the inflammation savior hose. Citrus is another nutrient rich in the gradient that provides the core nutrients to support highly influential biochemical pathways these pathways link with each kind of like teeth on gears you know when you roll your bike and the gears connect close everything together they close everything together helps to produce the neurotransmitters and the guts that tell the body hey do this and do that dopamine things like that so a lot of recent research has demonstrated that the citrus peel I've shared this with you all we often use it as zest in recipes as a source of three bioactive compounds that are capable of blocking an enzyme is integral to the formation of the amyloid plaque associated with Alzheimer's we'll continue talking about food as medicine when we get back I'd like to tell

fact is fiction and fiction is fact he says he has his winter beef supply coming from his local rancher Steve Steve's name is Stanley I've been putting on weight nicely saw him in the pasture three weeks ago that's the way to do it folks get involved with your food and support your local farmers and your local ranchers that are growing healthy food and healthy beef now I want to kind of switch over because I'm going to put all this stuff in the newsletter we're going to finish up about some of the things food is medicine this is my new passion well the pasture today is really being compromised by the devices that we're constantly looking at in fact I you know a lot of times do we ever sit around and do nothing anymore I mean you're always compelled you know you're sitting there you're just enjoying yourself whatever you're doing and you're not really reading or anything you're just kind of chilling out but no you go right back to that because you might be missing something you're missing nothing this compulsion is really really dangerous in terms of culture posture because I struggle with myself too everyone does today it seems like everybody does no matter how straight you sit up you know a lot of all this I like to say that I think much of our health bills originate between the top of the head and the clavicle or the cervical spine and when you can get that right and get the neck posture and the shoulders back you breathe better it's really unbelievable you look at traditional people and the way they walk carrying water or baskets on their head while they're carrying a baby it's amazing I'm thinking that reading a book is not natural because it really crinks you so we're made to be the watcher the seer of things looking out on the horizon watching in a distance and close we're not going to change that so let's talk about our posture and you know what is good posture and how to get good posture what is bad posture that can lead to all kinds of issues down the road resulting in de-gradiation of the spine which can make us vulnerable to potential injuries issues with our joint our balance mobility plus our neck shoulders and our back most of us suffer from poor posture simply because it's a bad habit and that's what I've learned recently that many of us just compensate and start doing something and it continues but the great news is you can improve your posture fairly easily simply sit up with your back straight pull your shoulders back and relax them down your chest should feel open and wide your feet should be flat on the floor take a few slow and deep breaths sit that way for at least 30 seconds and then check every so often to make sure you maintain that posture and not allow your shoulders to hunch back or back down it's important when I instruct my students to exercise it's always in front of a mirror so you can see the posture because your exercise is only good if the posture is correct in that particular exercise each exercise has their own kind of posture most of them are related to just good posture but some of them are a little bit different I think that we can use our tech tools to help us it's one of the things that you can do is pick a distinctive ringer and when that ringer settles some alarms that remind you to do a posture check and to take a few deep breaths and that's what's working for me because then it becomes like a habit or something that you expect and we really truly can adapt new habits and make big changes I've been working with chiropractic with physical therapy after my accident I want to make sure that after my broken ankle in three spots basically I disconnected my foot my leg in the ski accident that I don't incur other injuries up upstream that I don't get out of balance knees or hips and all of this goes back up to the neck and shoulder and the head so I'm kind of trying to realign myself top down and down up and I remember my parents sit up straight this stuff never seems to work what my wife does when she walks past me she just rubs her back a little bit to sit up straight and that's kind of a nice touch there's no saying hey you're doing it wrong well, I think that like you say many of us have adapted this and I think the technology today is designed, I mentioned this about even our studio we're looking down, I like to look at eye level raising I try to stand at my desk at work and get things at eye level so I think there's some exercises that you are going to share yeah, let me bring them up and these are 12 exercises on health.com oops, that's not the line sometimes you hit the wrong line yeah, it's on healthline.com we talk about it actually you look younger and you truly are younger when you have good posture you're doing great things for your longevity the ability to breathe and have everything else in alignment is super so it can help you develop strength flexibility and balance your body notice these are along the line of yoga disciplines so yoga invented probably five maybe longer years ago in the Indian culture how many years ago? at least 5,000 years yeah, the resting posture strengthens and lengthens your spine the resting posture is what we're seeing there great way to start your day great way we often call this child's pose too just kind of very surrender state of stretching but allowing yourself to just breathe next one is called a forward fold and this one this actually stretches all the leg muscles your hamstrings your butt muscles you're contracting your stomach which is really important so these are very very important types of exercises this is the cat cow this is just put your muscles downward and then upward you're contracting and then extending from the abdominal muscles and then they have the standing cat which is very similar on your standing posture you kind of roll more the upper thoracic area correct so we would encourage you guys especially those of you that are doing trading watching TFNN.com and you're sitting at the desk take a few moments pull up some stretching exercises and then pull up your posture all during the day what do you think about as a trainer what do you think about some of those devices people are wearing they put on I call it like a reverse bra I think they have this on here have you used one yourself I've had one on it feels very strange in the beginning because it really pulls you tight but there are some other methods here is the high plank really important that's kind of a push up starting position and just keep contracting your abdominal muscles even a low plank if you can't do a high plank to start start out with a low plank another one here down facing dog a little bit more extreme this is very very important it's important yoga stuff that's for sure pigeon pose really does the hip flexors and the psoas muscles and you'll be amazed at the emotional release that you can get with pigeon pose notice that front leg is crossed that's the real difficult part this is the spinal rotation where this arm will come around maybe it shows on here pause it's not really playing can you press the arrow there maybe doesn't seem to be working but anyways got squeezes squeezing your butt you can have somebody else do that that's fun isometric rows so this is where you're going up like this and down like this and that's a great posture check when you're rowing your arms up like this you stand against a wall and you put your arms up you can row them along the wall and really feel a correction so when I come back we have some more difficult ones that may be a little bit hard for you to see you know what's cool taking something that's good for you I think specifically formulated to help with weight loss better sleep

Well we're going to be finding out because here's a nice little graphic of somebody that's not familiar with a whole bunch of things but this guy is too and he's standing up straight, so it's a possibility to get it in check I think. And a lot of it comes back to reinforcing the core if you have a strong core you're able to hold your posture this way. Well here's the tool, the tool, the pore posture around the shoulder slouching head tilted forward knees bent belly, good posture straight line from your ear to your shoulder to your hip and balance an upright posture. Correct. And another poor posture is you have a forward head and your weak abdominal muscles gives you a sway back. And again, that's where we're really fighting, but our bodies do adapt, but they can also adapt back to a healthier posture. That's the good news. That's right. Show that picture of forward head posture. This is what we're seeing an epidemic of. And I want to make a comment about forward head posture is that many times it is an attempt to breathe. Many people are doing that because the eyes, look at his eyes, okay? A good posture, but as we rotate and we hump like this, this is because many times people have poor airway. And this is, you know, opening the airway and because you are going to keep your eyes even with the horizon. So then what happens is the net cervical spine becomes compressed and the body is compensating by going forward. So we, you know, we're always just trying to survive. That's it. But let's not survive in a healthier way. That was a great little video. So the first exercise is called the reverse plank, which is much harder to do. It feels weird in the beginning. If you have a little joint problems with your wrists and things like that, it's not too pleasant in the beginning, but your body does adapt. So it's a, it's an important exercise. I think people should do this. Next one is arch up. This one, I don't have a video of it, but to say simple, whoops. You kind of balance on your core and you arch your feet and your arms up. Yeah. So you're actually balancing on your stomach. And you're, you're raising your feet and this is not what you're doing. The next one is the plank while you're looking forward. Roll through. Here you come. There it is. The plank. And this is the modified one that you were talking about earlier. Right. And I think that's crucial. Little successes. You know, maybe you can only do it for 10 seconds, but the next day you'll be able to do it for 15 and build up. Maybe you'll build up to the point where you're listening to a whole song. And here's the posture belt you were talking about. Yeah. I've never tried one, but I was thinking about getting one. I never did make a decision, but I do think if you really, especially if you have a lot of desk time and you tend to slouch, this might be something that would help you remind, would help remind you to make that check. And of course it's the muscles that really control how you sit. So this idea that our abs always should be contracted. We are lazy people. We've gotten used to not engaging our core. So this is a way to help them. And here's the one that I was mentioning right before we did this, the wall angles. Wall angels. You know, I mentioned you put your arms up and you get your head flat on the wall and then you lift the arms up and down. You're making like a little snow angel. And this will give you good indication of how rounded your back really is because at first you're not really touching the things you're supposed to be touching. If it's hard to keep your arms on the wall, then you know you've got to be doing this a little bit more. This is a real important exercise. This is a text neck, they call it. Get rid of the knots. Can you play that one? See if you can hit that one. Get rid of the knots. This one, it may or may not show it, but this is a, it looks like it's going to be something long. Let's see. These guys, I've watched them before. Okay. He's showing the, yeah, he's showing the wall angels there, pretend you're doing snow angels, but you're keeping the small of the back is core tight. Starting your day with this while you're brewing your coffee is a great way to kind of get going. And the exercise number seven for text neck, I think is, I'm not exactly sure which one because my picture is not showing up, but this exercise helps prevent bad posture. It's easy to do several times during the day. You simply stop looking down at your phone. I mean, instead of, hold your phone up when you're texting to people. Yeah. See, this is a good picture. Yeah. You know, instead of scrub, you know, look at, this really demonstrates the contortion that we're doing and we don't even realize we're doing it when we're holding these phones. And we're doing it all the time while we're walking, while we're walking to baby, walking with your dog. You guys, you're texting. Get rid of this stuff. A lot of people are going into restaurants now, don't take their phone. There's a lot of schools. Have you seen these little bags that they have in certain schools where the kid comes into school and has this bag, has a zip thing, and has a lock on it? And this thing stays locked until the kid leaves school and it's kind of like an R-E-F-D tag and you boop, you can use it again and they can't use the phone at all in school. I don't know. I personally don't think schools should have Wi-Fi. No, and I think probably if you're going to a movie theater, things like this, we take our phones everywhere. It's time to leave them alone. We don't need them. I mean, back in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, we all had phones. We all didn't have a long line with us carrying a phone or walkie-talkie. We have to disconnect to reconnect. Yeah, we should do this. We really do, guys. The thing I was thinking about with posture is get into some routines of doing a yoga class on a regular basis, doing some type of stretching classes. Get into a martial arts, do some boxing, do some stepping. Any type of exercise on a regular basis with some other people can really help you get not only social, but correct these postures that we have. Use it or lose it. If we don't move and get the flexibility and do these stretches, then we're not going to have that mobility. And I think that's one of the most painful things to see as people get older, is to see them in pain and not able to do these things, whereas perhaps keeping active and flexible could be one of the best things you do for your posture and your overall health. So we have two different types of exercises that we're going to put in the next newsletter. One is a fairly easy starting point. These ones are a little bit more difficult. I think all of them can be attained in a few months of practice, no doubt about it. Very important. And there's another thing that we normally can do to help change our posture and that's walking, our natural ability. And that's actually really an interesting article that you put in here, are humans actually designed to walk and not run? Let's think about that. I can take some personal experience with this. Since my injury, this past winter, snow skiing, and disconnecting my foot from my leg, I have not yet run. Okay? I mean, it's been six months, I'm walking, you would not really even notice that anything has happened. And I can do a quick little jog, but I haven't gone running. And I actually thought, well, maybe that's not necessary. And then here's this article. Maybe it's not necessary that I have to run fast again. I mean, I certainly would like to be able to, you know. Well, certainly we use running to escape predators and probably to chase down things. I think running is very important. Now remember, it was maybe a couple of years ago, we talked about that in the 1700s, our walking changed. We normally would land mid-foot. And because now we're in cities and we start putting more protection, and this is about the time in the 16, 1700s, when people started using more protection, they started using a harder sole on the bottom, which the shape of their foot. Before it was always kind of a loose moccasin shoe. Like a moccasin shoe. Yeah. So now it started being a hard thing that enveloped the shoe. And that's when the high heels came along. You see there's victor, or there's women and the Renaissance women. But what happened was now we're in a city and we're protected, and no longer are we very, very conscious of our surroundings. We're safe. And now we heel strike, where before we didn't. And that's how it changed. Isn't it funny how these little things change the way we are? We'll be right back. Yeah, we'll be right back after this break. I'm certain you are, or strive to be, one of the best of the best at everything you do in life. It's the most common trait that we tigers and tigers share.

So what I was talking about in the beginning, time before shoes, our feet were... We used our feet different. Yeah, if you're going through grass, let's say, with bare feet, if you're walking the normal human way you're supposed to do it, as you contract your abs, your knees are slightly bent, and then you're just grooving through the grass, but your toes are feeling where your feet should go, and then you step into it. So you actually kind of use the pad right below your toes. Yeah, your toes are kind of the feelers out there. If there's anything in the way, then you don't hit that spot. So it became casual, became the casual human being with the walls surrounding it. Now we don't have to pay attention to our surroundings. We start heel striking. So that's the change that took place. And Nike, when he invented his running shoe, thought that since we heel strike walking, we should also heel strike running, one of the biggest mistakes ever made. We have a whole generation of people heel striking while running, which affects the knees and the hips, and you see the result. A lot of people have heel and hip problems, even just from walking, but from running even more so. I didn't know that about Nike. Thank you for sharing that. Yeah, Dr. Nike. So what about from a tennis shoe standpoint? Are any of them designed for better striking? No, because I don't wear Nike's. Yeah, the running shoes are tilted up in about an inch, some three quarters, some different. Now you have the bare running shoes, which don't have anything at all. And then you have to start over kind of from scratch because your muscles have really been shortened. Same problem women have with high heels. Those muscles get shorter, and now you don't have the flexibility that you used to have. So we've compromised our way of walking quite a bit with shoes and things like that, but we can get this back. There's a lot of chi running and chi walking. But I think homeorectis and modern humans are the walking machines. And let's get back to the great exercise that is walking, because in studies of trained athletes in which researchers set out to see how humans move, no matter which way a runner landed on their feet, whether it be heels, mid, ball toes, running was not fuel efficient. And efficiency in human movement is important. And just as it is in the transport world, and the more fuel efficient a car is, the further it can travel, and the same applies to a person. An efficient human machine needs less energy to cover the same amount of space. That's it? So hey, get out there and walk. That's right. We'll see you in the neighborhood. Bye-bye. Bye.
