of the topic of optimism. Optimism is key to health and longevity, and this has been argued over the centuries whether or not it's healthier to be pessimistic or optimistic. Who lives longer? Is it the angry old man down the street or old woman down the street that's gnarly, angry and negative and pessimistic, or are those who live longer that woman or man down the street, who are happy and healthy and joyful. Who lives longest? As defined

in dictionary. We should remember that optimism is being hopeful and confident about the future or the successful outcome of something. Research shows that the key to making healthy life choices might depend on an optimistic mindset. Would you consider yourself a pessimist or an optimist? I ask you, well, the way you perceive the world can significantly impact your life. Embracing a positive outlook may not only enhance your well being,

but could also add years to your life. As former President Theodore Rosenfeld wisely observed, and I'm going to quote him here quoting believe you can and you're halfway there. Close quote. So we found an interesting article about how optimism is key to exceptional longevity, because who doesn't want to live and live as long as you can healthily. Research shows the key to making a healthy life choices

might depend on an optimistic mindset. An analysis of data from more than sixty nine thousand women in the Nurses Health Study and more than fourteen hundred men in the Veterans Administration Affairs non Formative Aging Study found that optimism is specifically related to an eleven to fifteen percent longer lifespan.

The participants of these studies have been monitored since nineteen seventy six women and nineteen eighty sive six men, respectively, and they found that optimism seems to increase the odds of living to the age of eighty five and beyond, so you can become a octogenarian if you're optimistic and live past that, perhaps to becoming a centenarian one hundred years or greater, which is defined as exceptional longevity, especially when you consider the longevity in the United States is

going down. In other countries are kicking our butts in longevity, yet we spend more on the sick care system get less out of it. Why is that? And we know that things like diet and smoking and alcohol use, as well as mental health conditions and financial means, all of those impact our longevity. But the benefits of optimism being optimistic and it's easy to do that, You just have to train yourself for it. If you're a pessimist, I guess. But some people or just optimistic by their nature or

by their upbringing. Optimism, as defined by a study published in PNAS in two nineteen twenty nineteen, is a psychological attribute characterized as the general expectation that good things will happen. In other words, they're always looking at the glasses half full rather than half empty, or the belief that the future will be favorable because one can control important outcomes.

Optimism can also be defined as a doctrine that this world is the best possible world, and every day we hear just the opposite, don't we in the news or somewhere. People are more likely to engage in healthy behaviors when they have an optimistic worldview, according to a review in Circulation research. According to the review, optimistic individuals tend to have goals as well as the added confidence to reach them,

making them less likely to engage in unhealthy impulses. What are they saying that, Well, they're saying that pessimistic people don't give a hoot, and because of that pessimistic attitude, they take more risks, saying, well, you know, I'm gonna smoke anyway, I'm gonna die young. I've heard this in my own practice many times. I've asked chronic smokers why they smoke, knowing that it can increase the risk of cancer, lung disease and everything else, and they go, well, you're

gonna We're gonna all die sooner or later. So I'm just going to enjoy and puff away. Okay, that's your choice. But optimism has also been linked to healthier biomarker profiles, including healthier lipid levels i e. Cholesterol, lower inflammation levels, less heart disease in older men, and improve pulmonary function in older men. Optimism is a protective factor for cardiovascular disease and helps people cope more effectively with stress, anxiety,

and depression. So find a way to be optimistic is what the outcome of this is. But according to a doctor Misra, who is certified in integrative and internal medicine, in looking at the study, saying and I quote, we are continually uncovering the deep connection between the mind and

the body. In the context of healing, individuals with more positive outlook tend to experience enhance immune responses, which means they're going to get less common golds to COVID, they get better sleep, they eat healthier, and they increase their physical activity close quote. Now these factors contribute to a

reduced risk of obesity. Of course too, if you're moving around and making better choices with food, you're not going to be as over as likely to be come overweight or become obese, and that's going to drop your cardiovascular disease risk as well. So optimism is linked to so many attributes health wise, including a stronger immune system to decrease your risk of getting ill in the first place,

from the common cold to the big Sea cancer. Optimists compared to pessimists, tend to handle stress more effectively too, by engaging in proactive coping tactics, and are less likely to experience detrimental aspects of the chronic stress which we are all under to a certain degree. Right, So it's not easy to eradicate negative self talk one hundred percent of the time. But the more positive self talk you engage in, the more likely you are to stay healthy

and live longer. So get to it, become more optimistic, and you'll live longer. You're tuned into the Doctor Bob Martin Show. Is that I welcome you back to this hour of the Doctor Bob Martin Show.

We've all been there one time or another. But you got to pull yourself up. You've got to be Try to surround yourself with optimistic people. That's one way to do what I found staying away from people who are pessimistic because you'll get sucked into their space. Misery loves company, So find people who are uplifting.

I mean, there are books that you can purchase and many others that will help you to better understand how to reset your mind in terms of thinking positively and being optimistic and taking advantage of all the attributes and all the benefits of being optimistic as opposed to pessimistic, and having your health circle the drain in

Here's the number to call eight hundred six to zero six eight eight two two. Eight hundred six zero six eight eight two two. That number is one eight hundred six zero six eighty eight twenty two to leave a health related question or comment on our call or hotline number.

All we ask is that you state your first name, only the city and state you're calling from, turn your radio down so it's not blaring in the background or we won't be able to put it on the air, and just make your question as a concise and as short as you can. Brevity is appreciated, making it fair for everyone else getting into the program eight hundred six

zero six eight eight two two. In the website doctor Bob dot com, spelling out the word doctor, you've got all the social media platforms over there ex LinkedIn podcast library and lots of news. All right, let's get right back to work with your telephone calls and your questions. Next up, we say hello to Dan calling in from the state of Tennessee.

be on it for the rest of your life. And if you look up the side effects of it, it's a great drug. There's no question about it. For lowering blood sugar. Met Foreman's been around for a long time, but it has lots of potential adverse side effects. And further, it takes away your power, the power to know that you can reverse type two diabetes in the beginning stages or in the chronic stage. I've seen it. You can

prevent it too by the same lifestyle. What you need to be thinking about dan and you're not alone, because it's on the rise type two diabetes. You need to be thinking about how you can get back into an exercise pattern. It is quintessential that you exercise in order to reverse what you have going on right now. Type two diabetes are insulin resistance, the pre stage, the pre diabetic stage, which oh my gosh, so many people are

in the pre stage of diabetes. Insulin resistance rolls over to frank type two diabetes and more and more people are getting it. We used to call it adult onset diabetes, but so many children are getting it now because they're eating junk food and not exercising and becoming obese that we had to quit calling it adult onset diabetes. We abandon that because now it's children and adults. So in your case, you got to get back into your exercise pattern,

becoming more active. That is essential. There's no pill, potion and powder that's going to do it for you dietarily, of course, yes, you should stay away from the simple carbohydrates, the sugars, soda pop. Alcohol is a terrible thing for diabetics. Anything that actively raises your glucose in an expedient way, in a fast way. You need to day away from that and learn what foods can stabilize your blood sugar and which foods spike your blood sugar and try to

moderate that. There are also nutritional supplements in the marketplace that help manage this problem until you can become self sufficient. They exist, they exist, and they are available in health food stores. I'm familiar with a couple I can just name right off the top of my head. One is called see control su con trol se control D controlled D by a company by the name of Terry Naturally Vitamins.

It's a combination of nutrients that helps to resensitize your cells so that you uptake the glucose into the cells more efficiently. Okay, Soup Control D found in finer health food stores nationwide by a company by the name of Terry Naturally Vitamins. There's also a company by the name of Wacunaga Wacunaga. They're the makers of Kyolic Garlic. Coyolic garlic has been in the marketplace for a long time

for a lot of reasons. It's fantastic. We've done many shows on that over the years on how it can bolster your immune system and cut plaque out of your arteries, decrease that and these are all science based claims. But they also have a formulation in their line called Kyolic Blood Sugar Balance Coyolic Blood Sugar Balance, and again this is available in health food stores nationwide. You can even go online and find it at Kyolic ky l I c Coyolic dot com or Kylagarlic dot com, whichever one.

But when you're in the health food store, which you're looking for specifically for the management of your blood sugar issues until you can get into a regimen with your exercise and also modify your eating habits and maybe the whole gamut and making sure you're getting plenty of sleep, lowering your stress, all of those are important and eating

the best diet you can eat. At least you have these formulations because I think a lot of people share your same hesitation about starting on a drug for which you're going to be on for the rest of your life, and what are the potential adverse side effects of that drug. On the flip side of the coin, of course, you

have to worry about well. It's arguable that diabetes is a terrible disease and it will take you out, of course prematurely as well, because it can lead to heart disease and all kinds of other problems circulatory issues, ropathy, leg ulcers, low quality of life if it's not kept under control. So if you have nothing, you know, nothing

to choose from. Yes, bring on the drugs, but you have lots to choose from modification of your exercise habits or increasing your exercise habits, eating better and avoiding simple carbohydrates and things that spike your blood sugar. And then the nutritional supplements see control d Terry naturally vitamins and Chiolic sugar balance Chyolic sugar Balance. Both of these formulations are in health food stores and you can take both of them if you really want to knock it out

of the park. They have different elements to them and the two of them would be fantastic. All right, Dan, thank you very much for your phone call. All Right, ladies and gentlemen, stay tuned. We're coming right back with more of the Doctor Bob Martinshew.

call into the program on. It's our caller hotline phone number.

their health issues. Pass it on to them.

You'll actually hear me answer the phone and ask you to state your first name, only the city and state you're living in, and then your question or your health comment. That simple. And the extension of the radio show, of course, is

doctor Bob dot com spelling out the word doctor. All right, we're going to get back to more of your phone calls and your questions momentarily here, but I want to remind you how important it is. Because no matter how much exercise you get, no matter how much good food you eat, including organic food, no matter how many positive thoughts you think being an optimist all good, if you are not taking good care of your oral cavity your mouth.

In other words, you're neglecting to floss your teeth, irrigate your teeth, brush your teeth, and periodically see the dental hygienist and the dentist for deep cleaning and all that. You're missing the boat on some health opportunities, because many health problems begin with simmering, low grade infections in your gums and your teeth and can also then lead to other health problems in other parts of your body, including your heart and your joints and other tissues just from

that low grade fire in your oral cavity. The way that I handle this and my family handles and has done so for over twenty years plus, my very wise health care colleagues, we all use a system called the dental defense system Spry Spry. Jot that down, so the next time you're at your favorite drug store, big box store, or health food store, you can pick up the Spry Spry dental defense system, which includes Spry tooth baste and

Spry mouth rints. They also have mince and gum with Spry that come in delicious flavors of peppermint, cinnamon, and spearmint. The secret sauce is really not a secret anymore because there's strong science behind why this particular dental defense system goes into my mouth and the mouths of my children and my friends and family members, my wife and everybody

else each and every day. It contains a plant based ingredient in the Spry that stops the germs streptococcas mutants from sticking into the gum area and around the teeth to drill holes in the teeth and damage leading to cavities and possible root canals and crowns and extractions.

your gums, your teeth, and your breath. Of course, by using the Spry Dental Defense System, you can find it at CBS and write aid pharmacies, target Vitamin Shop, Sprouts and all natural grocery stores, or go to their website at clear that's x l ear dot com for Spry Spry Dental Defense System. All right, let's get right back to work with your telephone calls and your questions, and we say hello next to Tim calling in from Mountainside, Tennessee.

highly corrosive. It all depends on the dilution factor, Tim, and I would be very hesitant to use that without professional guidance because of the potential riskiness of it in a specific concentration. You need to get that right if you use it at all, because any kind of a chlorinated product can be corrosive. You know, if it's powerful

enough to kill cancer cells in the first place. My suggestion, if that's of interest to you, you find an integrative support providers who can explore that for you and give you a sage advice on how to use it or

how to administer it. But I don't recommend this because I've had people telling me in the past things like this where they used all kinds of delusions of things that they have heard about, and they wound up in the hospital in the emergency room with a hole in their stomach or having their stomach pumped as a result

of it. With respect to chlorine dioxide, again, I've read the same thing you have, I understand, but this sort of thing, when you're dealing with categories like this, needs to be under some supervision and guidance of a professional who's well aware of how to ty trate that or how to dilute it so it doesn't damage you but actually helps you. I hope this helps you out, and again thanks for your phone call.

answered for a variety of reasons. Either they don't want to ask their doctors, or the doctor has blown them off by saying, well, you just have to learn to live with it. Year old. Now, at your age, well, maybe getting a different perspective on your health related question might be of benefit to you. And that's exactly why this health show exists. Our number here into the program, should you have a health question is eight hundred six zero six eighty eight twenty two. One eight hundred six

zero six eighty eight twenty two. We'll take more phone calls from our audience when we come back. I'm Doctor Bob.

eight hundred six zero six eighty eight twenty two. And you can do the very same thing with your health question, or if you want to lay down a health related comment, you may do so eight hundred six zero six eighty eight twenty two one eight hundred six zero six eight eight two two. Back to work with the telephone calls and questions. Next up is Sandy calling in from Cedar City, Utah.

not a covid vaccine, it's an experimental genie therapy. More people who got the COVID shot suffer from long COVID symptoms than those people who got COVID infection that didn't take the vacs. That is now being discovered. All right, So yes, you heard me talking about in the past. What is being done to counteract long COVID. Well, we'll attack it from the vantage point that it's likely that you got a COVID shot more so than if you

didn't and you have long COVID. And I talked about the use and the protocol of using systemic enzymes systemic enzymes to help fight back against the spike protein which may be still existing in your body and generating all these symptoms that you're having with the brain fog and the fatigue and the pain and everything else that's happening lost to sleep and everything else. There's a formula in the marketplace which is excellent to cover this called Vascular Defense.

Vascular Defense by a company called Sun Nutrition. It's got everything in it, including nitric oxide in the systemic enzymes ceropeptase, natokinase, and other enzymes that help to rid the body of the spike protein proliferation which just keeps being made. And so I would call this toll free number, and I grabbed it here while I'm talking about it. The company is called sun Nutrition, the formula is called Vascular Defense, and their toll free number is eight four four two

zero four eight five five five. Anybody out there who has taken a COVID shot should be on this formula because those spike proteins are still roaming around in your body, maybe landing in your heart or your brain, or your ovaries or your prostate gl and depending on your gender, and undermining your health. And if you are like Sandy and have or believe you have long COVID because you have symptoms ever since you had it, you may be a candidate for this vascular defense. This is an amazing

formula that helps improve circulation. It is what people were using instead of many of these toxic bloodthenning agents or anti coagulating drugs. And again I'm not telling you to stop your eloquist or stop your warfriend or your plavix or whatever you're asked. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about you stopping it. I'm giving you options here, a potential safe option that you should take a look at.

This formula was put together with a lot of forethought and a lot of science behind it to help improve circulation and help to rid things from the body that should not be in there, including the spike protein and I'm familiar with it, the ingredient array within this formulation,

which is excellent. The company is sun Nutrition. Vascular Defense is the formulation and their toel free number again is eight four four two zero four eight five five five eight four four two zero four eighty five fifty five. I wish I had a website, but I just don't have time to grab that.
