Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Creativity is an addiction unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
So let's turn it into a tool. This is Arrow unplugged.
I like to ask questions. The reason why the fund
begins when you start researching for answers such as, what
is your cholesterol? That's not an old people's question? Plus

(00:21):
what food has been discovered that's three thousand years old
and it's still fresh to eat today. My name is Arrow.
I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. That means I
stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,
then activate. I call it the daily Mess, a chronological
walk through an everyday world. Yep, it's my morning pages.
As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people

(00:42):
tend to throw things to the side because we think
we're going to deal with it later. When a subject
arrives inside of me, I know it's time to dig in.
It's still keeping that daily journal, but by doing the research,
the picture becomes clearer. This is the daily mess. So
what's your cholesterol? It's not just an old person's question.
Doctors are keeping an eye on every single age group

(01:05):
mainly because out of control cholesterol is connected to heart disease.
According to medical research, there's a long list of fruits
that can help get your bad numbers down. They include apples, berries, bananas, grapes,
and avocados. They're high in fiber and will work with
your body to lower your cholesterol. Now, your doctor isn't

(01:28):
playing games with you when they also suggest that it's
time to get some nuts and seeds inside of you.
That also includes beans, oats, and other veggies. Here's the
part that you may not know. It's best to eat
your fruits, veggies, and nuts whole because the physical act
of chewing helps digest the fiber. If it's protein you're seeking,

(01:48):
the way of lowering those cholesterol numbers is simple, fish, poultry,
and plant based proteins, which have improved in flavor over
the past few years. Plus, let's not leave out exercise,
take a brisk walk, ride your bike more often, or
play your favorite sports you know, like pickleball, basketball, or
even running. Hey, coming up next, all jokes set aside,

(02:10):
is there really something out there that's three thousand years
old in the shape of food that is still fresh? Hey,
thanks for coming back to the daily mess. Jokingly, we've
always said the twinkie can out last time, although it's
never been proven. But what food can still be edible
three thousand years later? The answer honey. Ancient Egyptians were

(02:30):
often buried with objects needed for a harmonious transition, items
such as jewelry and games. While some would think that
food would decompose, scientists have actually located honey in old
pots dating back three thousand years. How is it even possible?
Honey is low in water content and high with sugar levels,
which creates an environment that's inhospitable to bacterial growth. It

(02:54):
also contains trace amounts of hydrogen peroxide, which acts as
a natural microbile inhibitor. It's the bee that makes this possible.
Their rapidly flying wings evaporate the water found in honey,
plus enzymes inside their stomach contributes to the honey's antibacterial properties.

(03:14):
Egyptians were some of the first organized beekeepers in the world.
Along with sending honey into the future, they also offered
the sweet substance to their deities. And just think, over
the past twenty to thirty years on this planet, the
population of the bee has dwindled. What's next? I'm Errol,
and that's the daily mess
