Speaker 1 (00:02):
I'm not bad.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I'm ready to roll now. I like that song. Anyway.
Hello everyone, Glad that you're tuned in to hear what
Grandpa have to say today. This is let Grandpa speak.
You always got a lot to say, a lot of
good stuff to tell you. And the good thing about
it is almost every show that I do, I do
the show because it gives you something back. And a
(00:27):
lot of times people don't tell seniors everything that they
knew because they think all the seniors don't need to
hear nothing. They've already lived their life. Let's waste this
time doing to depended on young people. And that's what
they're doing. They're wasting time on young people anyway, That's
basically what happened. So that's why I did this show
(00:48):
because I wanted to make sure we fill that gap
and let seniors know the things that they need to
know to make their life wonderful, to live the let
so they can live their best life now. And that's
what this show is all about. I'm Grandpa and I'm
your host. Like most grandma's and grandpa's and gigs and
(01:09):
nay nay's and all of those people like that, we
love everybody when you get to be that age, this age,
that age, I should say, this age you really feel
like you love everybody and you wish everybody all the
best that they can be. You know, when I say
my prayers now usually say, you know, I used to
(01:29):
lay me down and see, pray the Lord my soul
to keep. If I should died for a week, I
pray the Lord my soul to take. That's the prayer
I used to make. But nowadays I don't. I make
the prayer I love everybody and I wish everybody a
wonderful life. Now there's plenty of everything in life to
go around, and that's where it is. There's no shortage,
(01:50):
and most people think, oh this, I don't have this.
They believe in shortages. There's no shortage of anything, not
even money. There is no shortage. It's just that you
are not familiar on how to do what you need
to do, or you're not doing what you need to do.
There's no shortage of singing people and more people are
coming every day. There's no shortage of anything. It's just
(02:14):
that we're either going in the wrong direction or not,
and it's all right. More and more seniors are compiling
up because we are living longer, and by living longer,
you know, more people are here, which is a good thing,
nothing wrong with it, because a lot of times we
need that we have the younger element sort of setting
(02:35):
the tones of things, and they did things you know
that need to be that have been not necessarily right
or confusing. So sometimes it's good for the all the
population to grow so they'll make decisions based on wisdom
and common sense. And children can't base younger people. Young
(02:56):
generations can't do that because they haven't had the experience
of all the things that they know, and it takes time.
So as they grow older than they'll look back and say, oh,
I see what this meant and what that meant. So
that's why seniors good for seniors to be around to
put in their support and to put in what they do.
Now they're like I said, there's no shortage of anything,
(03:19):
and people are coming here every day. That's all right. Now.
Remember in the past years, in the fifties and the
sixties and seventies, eighties, nineties, all those we've grown a lot.
We have grown tremendously through those years. We've seen a
lot of technological changes, We've seen a lot of psychological changes.
(03:43):
We've seen a lot of medical change. We've seen changes
that you could not believe, and they have been coming
fast in those years. Whereas before life was kind of
slowed down, but these have been coming down. And in
many ways some of these some things didn't change. There's
something that didn't change. Amorls are still the same, and
(04:03):
our morals are very good. But sometimes you think they
didn't change because we have a lot of things happening
that shouldn't be happening right now. It's things should be
happening that we should be over a past and behind
us now. But we have a lot of problems as well,
even right now, even though we've come through all the things,
(04:25):
you know, like they say, in time, everything gotta change
sooner or later. There's good in life and life is
still good. That didn't change. Life is still good, it's
still wonderful. People like living, they want to live a
long time, and you know, that's basically how we feel.
(04:46):
The news may cloud our vision. The news may say this,
they say that, they say this, say it all night
as you know, it's I guess you got to see
it's fake news or something. Because the news is not
always what encourages us. The news is not always what
helps us to feel better about life. The news is
(05:07):
not always about it's about negativism because people are they say,
people are inclined to listen to that. So if you
wanted somebody to listen to you, then they're doing anything.
So But we think as you grow older we would
come to common sense. We come to wisdom and common sense.
(05:30):
That's where we are as we grow older, because all
the foolish says that we know before, we don't have
that anymore. But we were young, having a great time
living a life. In all those years, those forties and
those fifties, sixties and seventies and eight, we really lived
it up. We did. Everybody lived it up. And one
(05:52):
of the common things that I want to say, we
went through some changes, a lot of social changes as well.
We had a lot of social upheaval. This country was lagging,
and it's and it's what it said it's about. It
was lagging, and it's what it eaties for it's supposed
to be about. It wasn't fulfilling its obligation. It didn't
(06:16):
fulfill what it's claim about. Everybody should have the freedom
and should have the freedom and the pursuit of happiness.
That that was a problem we find I think we
find it more or less got got over most of that.
We had a selfishness in this thing where some people
felt that the country was all about them and the
other people were left out, and other people were working
(06:39):
just as hard as they were. So you have a
lot of different things that were happening that on the
social side. That's basically what the social side was about.
The good part is about I don't think we have
a lot of anger no more, and a lot of
dislike for other people. I think we've learned our lesson
(06:59):
on all people matter, no matter who they are. They
all matter. Some people who are rebels and who don't
want to conform, you know, sometimes you have to find
a space for them so that they can get out
of the way of the people who are trying to
move ahead and trying to have something and everything. So
(07:20):
there's a lot of differences in We went through one
of the biggest areas I think we wanted to get
in and I wanted to talk about this this one
area because they're still with us, and that is the
street drugs. We went through an area where drugs were
all over the streets, all over the place, and people
were using them. Not everybody, but you know some people did.
(07:43):
People were overdosing. You hear people overdose from crime and dying.
All kinds of things were happening in that time. That
was back in those years, and the government declared the
War on drugs, and they included all kind of any
kind of drug. Everything was included in that, but they
(08:05):
didn't put alcohol in it. And alcohol is one of
the worst drugs that we can do use our body.
And the reason why I say, if you're gonna drink alcohol,
make sure you mix. My mom say, if you don't
drink alcohol, don't ruin straight. Make sure you mix something
in it. They're calming down because alcohol is a poison
(08:28):
for the human body, and sometimes that poison will destroy
our liver or other parts of our mind and our brain.
It'll lead us into the wrong area. Now, even though
it's legal, even though it's really thought of as being
a high class thing that you do at a certain times,
(08:50):
we have to be careful about drinking alcohol. I'm not
telling you not to drink it. I'll drink it myself,
but I don't overdo would I just do it every
once in a while, and I do it enough, you know,
just to be social with people and all that. But
sometimes it gets out of hand. And we've had a
(09:11):
lot of people have problems with alcoholic problems in the past.
We've had cigarette problem people had, you know, cigarettes were
causing cancer and things like that. We've gone through all
of that and put that all behind us, and that
means we're growing. We're growing. To me, I think it's
better because some of the bad things that we did
that was hurting us. We don't have to do that
(09:31):
no more. And we know that it was bad. Although
we thought at the time we were doing it we
were having a good time. Some people say laughing while
you're killing yourself all the same time, so that's what
we probably did. So we've grown out of that. I
normally I take this section to give you a little
bit more common sense, a little more wisdoms. But this
(09:52):
day I said, I want to talk about this because
I noticed a big change and that and I can't
figure out what it is. I know, you know the
drug thing is still here. You know other things have gone.
We know alcohol is not that good, we know the cigarettes.
The real things that things are about them, but the
(10:13):
drug thing is still here now. I guess it's because
we have legal drugs and illegal drugs. I don't know
what it is, but some of them are not legal
and some of them drugs that will hurt, will will
cause a lot of problems in your life and everything.
So I think the government stepped in to try to
(10:36):
mitigate this problem drug problem going. But you know, it's
like you can never do it because there's always somebody
who who want to take these drugs. I want to
do things. People used to arrest people back in the day.
They arrest a lot of people. Even usually have one
cigarette on you. You could be arrested one marijuana we
(10:58):
eat cigarette. You could be arrested for that, and you
could also lose a lot. You could lose your job,
you could lose your family, You could lose a lot
of things back there because of that. And you you know, uh,
they would they would test you when you go to work.
They could call, we're gonna test test and then they
(11:19):
had testing that they could do, uh to test and
see if you had any kind of smoking, marijuana or
whatever in your system. And if it showed up, it
was in your system. Boy, you were in real trouble then.
So even if you're on your weekend, on your time,
say you know, like you you off the weekend, you
go somewhere and you go to a party. Everybody's having fun,
(11:43):
everybody's doing what they do, and you just have to
take a little puff. And if you did and you
called for that test, that would that coming week you
would be in real trouble. So people trying to stay
away from that. People didn't want to get into it,
people didn't want to be bothered with it. People thought
(12:05):
there was just too much a problem. Who wants to
lose their job over something like that, So people alcohol
still prevailed. Alcohol and cigarette smoking still prevailed because it's
like it seemed like people have to have something to
do as a relief for their stress and for their purchase.
(12:26):
So a lot of people do that. Some people overdo it.
Don't get it wrong. Some people overdo it. But you
should do just enough to make you feel good and
don't do it on a regular basis. That's the way
it was back in the day. That's what people would do.
They were sneaking, sneaking do things, but they didn't sneak
and do it so that they were doing it like
(12:47):
on a regular, all time basis. If you smoke on
your off day, you could be in the real trouble.
You could be fired. We got a bad name. It
was so bad. It was not you know, people call
you all kind of names and weed is not a
hallucinating drugs, but it was thrown in into the red
(13:11):
drug thing, and people used to call people who smoke
weed head drug added dope head, or they had all
kinds of names, a junkie and that they call you
you smoke, but hey, if you didn't, you and people
didn't want to be associated with people who did smoke
(13:33):
because you might be uh. It was like association thing.
You know, you'll be all you'll be criticized for the
same thing that the group do. You know what I'm saying.
But so many people would not smoke weed because they
didn't want to be in the trouble. But I don't
know what's going on now. Weed is legal, it's eager.
(13:57):
I don't see many people doing it anymore. I don't
see I don't think kids are doing it as much anymore,
at least haven't heard. Things have changed. And maybe that's good.
I don't know. We'll think about it. But anyway, it's
like people like to do things that's illegal. Who wants
to do anything legal? In other words? That So that's
(14:19):
something that I came back and I said, I want
to talk about that because it's legal, but it seems
that like it's gone away, it's no more of a problem.
It's not an issue anyway. That's just what I'm talking about.
But I and I want to add this too. If
you're a young person, be careful about smoking a marijuana
(14:40):
too much because it's somebody takes away your innobition and
other things. So if you're doing that, you know, be careful.
I wouldn't do it until I got Myndy bloom bloomer.
I always say save the smoke for when you graduate
from college. That's your celebration, but not before. Don't smoke before.
That's my advice. See you in this day and I'll
(15:01):
tell you what to do. If you want to do it,
go on do it. This is Grandpa. That's my advice
for all the young people and for Grandma and grandpa
as well. Okay, I'm gonna take a break right now
and i'll be back. I'm sure it's going to be
about super agers. There are people who are super agers.
They are like one hundred and ten hundred and they're
(15:22):
looking great and doing great. We're gonna kind of cover
about how to do that. So if you are having
a lot of problems and you and which age, I
hope I can solve some of those problems. I'll be
right back, So make sure you stay tuned.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
Anyway for that and the music went away? Hey, anyway,
there's a grand problem. Back with you again, today, I
want to talk about superagers. Now, you may not be
aware of what a superager is, but a superager is
people who live a long life. They're strong, they're healthy.
(19:23):
They may be in the nineties ninety five, some of
them are over one hundred. And there are a lot
of people like that. Now, well not a lot, but
there's more than what will normally be the percentages of
way up that people are like that. And one of
the reason why they say that people are getting to
be a superager is because of what they do and
(19:44):
how they and their lifestyle. Now, I know a lot
of people figure, well I would like to live a
long time, but I don't know if I am if
that were happened to me, But it happens to you
because of what you do with your lin You can
(20:04):
make yourselves help yourself to live longer than what you
normally would would be living. And what you will how
you will live longer if you didn't participate and do
the right things in your life. That's what it is about.
People used to think, well, we don't live long because
(20:27):
it's nature God's way. Is Father time coming to get
us and all that? Well, no, we've already proven well
we used to die at sixty five. We're up to
seventy eight. I think we're at the seventy eight point
three or four. It's almost going to be seventy nine
before long. And that you will live longer not the
only reason why that is is because your lifestyles are
(20:51):
not the same as they once were. And that's why
you're living longer. Because we've learned a lot more about life.
We will learn a lot more about living. We learn
a lot more. So people figure, well, I would like
to live a long life. Some people say they don't
want to live a long life because of the because
of the pain that they receive, because of the sietic
(21:11):
nerve that bothers them, because the nerve going down their
legs that bother them, because they have a bad knee.
With all this stuff, just get there or make them
feel that you know what am I living sealed for?
I've done almost everything that I'm gonna do well, But
you can There's a lot more you can do. There's
a lot more you living you can have And that
(21:32):
old myth about you have to die just soon and
when you get older, you can't do this nothing, you know.
I see people every day who will age up doing
everything that they need to do to live a happy life.
And you can too. And I'm going to tell you
some of the things. They have a new city out
now already and they just did it that if people
(21:55):
do weight training. Now you know what weight training is.
You pick up some weight. It could be a five
pound weight, ten pound weight. I don't know if you
should pick up anything heavier than that, like twenty pounds
that's pretty heavy. But those ways like that twice a
week and you'll be in good shape. And you can
(22:15):
do that three times in three months, you will improve
your life and your memory. That's what they will do
to you picking up them weights. Isn't that something? That's
how it is. So a lot of people spend a
lot of time in gyms, and when they get older,
that gym exercises and moving times and picking up that
(22:39):
weight helps them to age. And that's why we have
super agers. And that's people are who are getting older
that are in good shape. Like me, I'm like not
a five minute good shape, you know, I'm just like
a sixty year old guy. Some people say, well you're lucky. Yeah,
maybe maybe I'm lucky. And also I'm sensible at the
(23:03):
same time, and they just look, that's gotten me here.
It's sensible. Also good doing the right things and making
sure you keep moving. I keep moving all the time.
I take exercise all the time, and I've always done it.
In my forties and fifties, I played racquetball every weekend,
every day almost I was exercising. So that's basically what
(23:27):
it is. But now you can do whatever you want
to do. They got all kinds of things for you
to make you, help you to be a super agers.
So if you want to be a superager, then you
do what the superagers do. And I'm gonna tell you
what they do. It's like living in the blue zone.
If you want to know how these people live to
be one hundred years old, you find out what they do.
(23:49):
We're all basically the same. People are basically the same.
We're not exactly like each other, but we're more like
each other than we are different. So if you can
do that and you can follow these ideas, I think
it's not a one size fit all all the time,
but I think this will fit everybody and you will
(24:10):
be fine. So I think following this resistance training is
a tool. Excuse me, my allergy is coming through living up.
Weight training is a tool for longevity. So if you
want to know something about how I can live longer,
(24:32):
naturally you're eating right helps out. But one of the
main thing is to keep your strength, because when people
get older and they get weaker and they're not stressing't
doing anything they help keeping their muscles up, their muscles
begin to fade and fade and fade, and after a
while they don't have the strength to do normal daily things.
(24:58):
They don't have the strength they may and if they fall,
it's an endangerment. And when if they fall that danger,
it could it could be something more serious. Many people
have failed and hit their head and they never recover it.
Some people that break their hips, and you know, there's
(25:19):
a thing about when a man breaks his hips, usually
can get a prison, but he doesn't live long after
that for some reason or other. So all those things
can be avoided. You don't want to take a shot
at that. You know you don't want to do that.
So that's what I'm gonna tell you about how to
avoid that stuff, because you're right, you may be looking
(25:40):
at it and don't know it, and maybe right closer
to you than your thing. But the best way to
do that stuff is to do move, is to keep moving.
I would just say keep moving for one thing, but
it's more than just keep moving. It's moving with doing
some kind of exercise and picking up weights is one
of the main things now. I picked up ways. Most
(26:01):
of my life I used to go to the gym.
I had a lifetime membership in a gym. Maybe you
didn't do that or whatever, you know, but gyms are
very reasonable now. You can go study. They got all
night gems, all kinds of gems and everything to keep
for you to keep yourself in shape. But a lot
of people don't do it because they just feel, well,
I'm tired. I don't want to do everything. But that's fine.
(26:24):
That's fine. But if you want to live longer, then
listen to me, listen to this show. If you don't, hey,
ain't no problem. Ain't no problem. You know. Like if
some people say, well, they didn't like older people. They
thought older people were drag, that they didn't know nothing,
that they were sitting there like their comattes, they don't
speak and they want to die. So I say, well,
(26:46):
if you don't like them, don't be one of them.
That's the best thing I know. Die soon, die young,
or whatever you want to do. But if you want
to be one of them, then listen to the program
and understand what you do have to do to be
one of them. One of the biggest problems that we
have we face every age is our muscles. When our
(27:10):
muscles go, we can't even open the beer can. We
can't even open regular cans in the kitchen, and things
we have to somebody come open as or we have
to buy a mechanism where we can put that in
there and breaking the well, you know how to break
We have a we do have a can opener in
the kitchen for for some cans, but there are some
(27:30):
things that you don't. You have to twist off, twist
off top. You'll be too weak to do that. And
if you buy yourself that is a problem. But had
you taken a little bit of weight training, you'll be
able to open that can. You be able to open
it really easy. So that's all I'm saying, trying to
keetch you to make your life so you're much more
(27:52):
comfortable than what you're doing now. Back in the day,
we said strong body, strong mind. You remember that Back
in the day when I went to school, when I
went to pee. That's what pe training told me. Strong body,
strong mind. Somehow always seemed to have got away from that.
(28:12):
We didn't. We didn't stick with that. We didn't follow that,
but it was true. And had had it, had we
been had were paid more attention to that. Most of
the ones of us who did, they're still healthy and
still strong. But it was one thing that stuck with
me all all my life, and that is strong body,
(28:33):
strong man. You know, strong mind, I mean strong mind.
That's a man, strong body, strong mind. So they worked together.
So if you get one, don't do one with out
the other. Let them work together, and and and you'll
be fun and you live be to be a super
(28:53):
ager if you want to be a superagent. People like that.
They're they're they're, they're they're there. So there are there
are exercises to help you keep your brain strong, exercises
to help you keep your brain strong. And keeping your
brain strong is very good. Because some people get alzheimers,
(29:14):
some people start getting older, they forget. Everybody forgets. I
mean it's not it's not unusual for a person to forget.
We all forget it sometime or other. But uh when
people aged older people get forget, it's usual uh older problem,
(29:34):
it's used a uh what do you call it? A
age problem? It seemed to be, you know, a senior
problem or whatever it is that you're having, because but
everybody forget, but we can keep our memory and things
going up. A long time ago, I had this problem.
(29:55):
I told the guys, I'm forgetting everything. I don't know
what's going on. I'm forgetting this looting, and some nobody
stopped me, saying, hold it, you don't forget anything. Remember
that you do not forget anything. You just can't recall
it at this time. But what you're trying to think
that you don't remember another time that thought would come
(30:16):
to you. It is, and that's true, So I don't
He made me clear that you don't forget anything. You
just can't recall it right now. You may recall it
later on. So I learned that lesson and stop saying
telling myself I forget I know I don't forget it.
If I can't remember it at the time, I know
(30:37):
that I still know it. And you know something, the
next minute or two, it comes to me right away.
But because I claimed I know it, if I said
I don't know it, possibly I wouldn't have even made
an effort to even try to remember it anymore. But
by me knowing that it was still there, I kept
(30:58):
the effort to remember. So all these little things like
that help you to live longer. It helps you to
do the things that you have to do, you know,
keeping you straight, you know, and keeping you on with
the mindset and the little bit of information that you need.
And I don't give you a lot of hard information
to do. These things are very simple. I keep it
(31:19):
very simple. I keep it right down to where it's
common sense. You have to go without. People who want
to live their life a long time. Most people, when
they get old, they don't want to leave their house
to go to assisted living. And that's the first thing
the kids do. Well. I can't be bothered with mom
because I'm busy. I can't be bothered with Daddy because look, dad,
(31:44):
I got I got my own family to raise, and
and and and and and that takes most of my
time up and so I came. I came ready to
spend a lot of time. If you happen to be
like that, some people are in a position where they
can help older people do a thing so a lot,
but a lot of people can't. So then they want
(32:04):
to sing you to assisted living. And I don't think
a lot of people want to go to assistance. I
do have a friend, one lady. She volunteered to go
to assist the living. She said because she couldn't do
this and couldn't do that. So a lot of times
they can't cook for themself or they can't do this,
(32:24):
but they got wheels on wheels on meals and things
like that. If you can keep yourself in good shape,
you can stay by yourself most of your own life.
And that's what most people want to do. That's what
a superaser does. A superasas live most of their life
and the way they've always lived it normal way they're
(32:46):
liveing in their home. They're able to do the things
they do. I'm ninety five. I am able to do
whatever I want to do in my home. I can cook,
I'll do anything, you know. And then I go out
and play golf or bowl or do whatever it is.
But I do it because I kept my strength up.
My strength has been important to me. I got a
little muscle that hey look at that, Look at it.
(33:07):
Look at look at it. I got a little muscle
that I'm strong, and I am. I feel grades stronger
all the time. But what I want to try to
say is that you can do the same thing. There's
a lot of things that I know when I've learned
that make my life wonderful, and all those things I
would like to tell you sooner or lady, sometimes I'll
(33:27):
get around to telling you what they are their life wisdom.
They're the wisdom of life, and so I'll take you there.
So you gotta take care of yourself. If you don't
take care of yourself, you're gonna go down. Your life
is gonna diminish, You're gonna be in in bad shape.
So when you're sitting down there talking about I don't
want to move, I'm tired, you cannot do that. You
(33:54):
gotta move, you don't wanna tie, you're tired, you ready
go to heaven. Well, if you're tired and ready to
go to he that's a different thing. I'm not gonna
argue with you. But if you're not tired and you're
ready to go to heaven, listen to what I'm saying.
So many people complain about their aging. A lot of
people don't like aging. I love it. I'm having a
(34:15):
great time ever in my life right now. You know,
I used to work. I worked a lot of hours
and everything I worked all the time, work over time,
did everything they did do. But the life that I'm
living now is the best life ever. If I know,
retirement was this good. I retired when I was twelve
(34:35):
years old, twelve or thirteen, that's what I would have did.
I would have retired there. I mean, I don't want
to be like homeless people. Don't get me wrong. I
mean retired, I still study, I still would do things.
I still would would make myself up and I was
still having that way. I would work, do whatever I
had to do to make my life better. Okay, but
(34:56):
a lot of people don't like aging, and the reason
why they don't like it complaining about they don't like
the pain. I understand that pain. I've had that pain
so bad that I I was at the point where
I was saying, well, hey, I kind of would accept
dying if this is what it is. But I went
through it. I had the sciatic nerves so bad that
(35:19):
I could not walk. And I know some people have
had it that way. You could not walk it hurt
every anger. Where you set up, laid down, stand up, walk,
whatever you it never stopped hurt. Well, there was no
position that you could get in to solp that pain. Now,
I know somebody out there know what I'm talking about,
(35:40):
and it is miserable. It makes you think, you know,
I'd rather die, but don't do it. Hold up, give
me a chance to that ground that Grandpa tell you
something that you might do. There's a solution to every problem.
And I want to maybe give you the solution to
the problem and you might be glad and you might
feel good and be happy and the future. So that's
(36:01):
what they had. Knee pain. I the man had knee pain,
so bad. Man, he said, I didn't cut the damn
knee off. If they want to do it, I said, no, no, no,
that's not what you want to do. Well, anyway, he
gotta knee. They have back pain. They have people. I
have my granddaughter. She'd been she had three back pains,
I mean at least two, and I know at least
(36:22):
two of them and something else to do. She had
another operational. I don't know if they're practicing on people
on the knees and back pains and all that stuff.
I just talk with a guy. He said he's not
gonna let anybody cut on his knees. I know people
that didn't know what I understand.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
They do.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
They cut your knee, cut your leg all the way off,
and then they put in a steel ball and all
that stuff, and then then your leg men back up
with again. So a lot of people don't want to
do that because of that. They're afraid of that situation.
I know I don't want to do it. And I
have a bad knee and I've been at it ever
since i went to the doctor. Oh it must have been.
(37:03):
I've had this bad need for almost thirty years and
I've learned to live with it. And you know, it
does bother me sometime, but it don't bother me enough
to word I want to get an operation. It does
bother me, stim bother me sometimes if it gets too bad,
I'll take me a pain pill. I don't take pain
pills all very often. I may take a pain pill
every every once in a while, when when when I'm
(37:23):
tired of it bothers me, or if i want to
do something and it's bothered me, I'll take a pain pill.
But I've learned how to manage it. I learned how
to deal with it, and you can do you can
learn how to deal with it. Whay to wait, I'm
where the pain don't bother you as much. They give up.
Some people just give up in life. They just roll
(37:44):
over and say this is it. Instead of doing that,
I'm here to tell you, don't do that. Get up,
keep yourself doing. Fight back. I say, fight back, right,
fight fright fright. The old day's back. It's like, and
a lot of people have stuff like that. You know, well,
we used to hear stuff about rheumatism and author riot.
(38:04):
You already hear that anymore because people are moving and
taking exercise, and that's why when they were set down
and didn't do nothing, that was what happened. There's a
solution for every problem. You have to learn that if
you have something wrong with you, there is a solution
to it. I don't know how you find it. A
lot of times it's hard to find that solution. A
(38:27):
lot of time that solution is right there for you.
But I'm going to give you some of the things
that will help you to be a superager. And you
still don't have to go through all the pain and
all that stuff you're going through. You can go through it,
but you go through it so that you can handle it.
And that's what it is human. But sometimes we have
to handle a little pain, is it. It's you know,
(38:48):
we're human being and we're tough, and we're tough. We're
real tough. We just don't know how talk we are.
We can make it through all those things because it's
our health and our consciousness and our concerns that's important
to us when we come to this earth. We come here.
Some people say we come here to do this, and
(39:10):
we come here to do that. I think we come
here to live life good, to be healthy, to be strong,
and to have a wonderful life. And that's what most
people want to do that and you can do it.
As we age, we begin to lose our strength as
we get older, and you know, you've seen it, people
(39:31):
who can't hardly step up on the curve and people
having this problem and that problem people got might have done,
might have drank too much in their life. Now they've
got maybe liver or kidney problems and things like that.
There's some things that you can do to try to
fight it. And you know, if you get a new
(39:53):
kidney or whatever. They've got answer stances and solution. I'm
not saying it all work always work for you, but
they do have them and it's up to you to
find them. As we age, we begin to lose I say,
we lose that strength and we get weak. And once
we get weak, we get in trouble. That's what it is.
When you are too weak, you can't do anything and
(40:15):
then ever, that's why you need to do exercise, strength training,
strength training. Every senior citizen should take weight training, which
is strength training to keep themselves strong and violable, so
that they can stand up, so that they can walk,
(40:36):
so that they can do you do things that they need, problems,
so they can take a bath or a shower. They
take themselves off. You know, I don't know how you
feel about it, but I don't want nobody else that
I don't know, giving me a bath.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
I don't that to me.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
Don't work for it, don't work for me, And I
may work for you, but it don't work for me.
I don't. I just don't care for that, so I'd
rather do the weight I'm giving you the solution, get
your five pound weight. When you're sitting down there watching
the television of the news. Just put them waste up,
the do noth like that. Take them waists, keep going.
(41:12):
That's all I do. See that muscle I got there,
That's all I do to keep that muscle, keep it strong.
I'm very strong. Now. They have chair exercises that you do.
I call my friend. He told me last night, said
I'm doing the chair exercise. I told him, great, I'm
glad you're doing that. He's doing that. He feels wonderful
and going.
Speaker 8 (41:32):
Now it's all on.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
If you got a computer or on your cellphone. Chair
exercises are very popular right now. So if you say,
well I came away, set in the chair, you can
steal exercises in the chair and you keep your strength up.
And also you can talk to your doctor and tell
them you want to keep your strength and your muscles up.
(41:56):
You know, I'm not a professional doctor. I have a
doctor's degreevent on that. He's not in medicine. I have
a son that's in medicine. But let me tell you something.
You can learn all these things. These are this common
sense things, and these are just wisdom that I've learned
over the years. Now, my grandmother was our doctor for
(42:18):
us at out. We never went to the hospital or
we never even went to the doctor even when we
had broken bone or we would have kids. You know,
you cut in things. My grandmother always had to answering
solution to all of that. And also it was at
a time when we couldn't afford to go to the
doctor anyway. So we learned a lot about how And
(42:41):
I'm not afraid to teach you how to live without employe.
You need the doctors, you need all the medical people.
But I'm gonna teach you how to how to avoid
a lot of that stuff. And most of it is
just moving doing something. Now most gyms, they have a lot,
a lot of gyms around everywhere, and there's a gym
(43:03):
near you, even the small towns that have gyms in there. Now,
these gyms can't keep you healthy. They can make you
or help you to be a super ager. Very important.
You know, if you if if you if you don't
(43:23):
have a gym near you, then you know you can
you can get like I said, the the the five
pound dumbbells or something like that. You can use that.
You can use that. Now many singers do not take
advantage of the senior programs that they have to keep
themselves leveling, and so a lot of time when they
(43:45):
tell me they have these problems, I asked them to say, well,
what do you do? And then they tell me that
it's very clear. But I but I'm gonna stop right here.
I got a lot more to tell you. Uh, let's say,
a couple more pages here to play you. And most
of this is an article that I wrote myself for you.
Sometimes I get articles from different places, but this here.
(44:07):
But right now, I'm gonna take am innute out. I
have a caller on the phone, call of you there, Hey, grandpa,
are you doing I'm doing very well. I'm teaching people
how to be a super ager. Then be strong no
matter what age they are. If you know, they fight back,
That's what it is, fight back.
Speaker 8 (44:29):
So you got strength, But what about if you got Paul.
Speaker 2 (44:35):
Raise?
Speaker 8 (44:37):
You got strength? But what about she got Paul?
Speaker 2 (44:41):
What if you fall?
Speaker 8 (44:43):
You got fag f old G.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
I don't know what you're saying, Oh g Paul folds fog?
What is fog? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (44:59):
So you're aims all cloudy, you feel okay, but you
just can't get it.
Speaker 8 (45:05):
Called ah, Sometimes I think you you're.
Speaker 1 (45:14):
Talking about the physical health. What about your mental health?
Speaker 2 (45:19):
Yeah, because the mental and the physical go together.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
Okay, But else, what I was thinking about is that
you feel strong, so you can pick up everything, but
you don't know what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
Well, if you have a mental problem, that's what you know.
You need to be exercising. So if you have brain
fag and I know brain fog, I kind of don't
associate that with this. I know what brain fag is,
and uh, but it's it's it's something else. That's another
(45:57):
condition for a doctor or somebody to handle. If you
have all uh, it's used it for a good reason.
But if you are aging and you're getting older, you
need to do something to keep yourself mentally and physically alert.
(46:17):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (46:19):
Well, I do the exercise.
Speaker 8 (46:22):
I push up. I do my push ups against the wall.
I stand right a vertical at the wall and I
push up on the wall and I'd do fifteen of them.
Speaker 2 (46:37):
That's good.
Speaker 8 (46:39):
Yeah. And then I do squats, and then I do stretches,
and then I do my I turn my neck when
I'm sitting in a chair. Oh, breathing. I breathe in
and out from my dire friend and not from long
(47:03):
So that's something that I do.
Speaker 2 (47:06):
That's very good. You're doing very good things.
Speaker 8 (47:10):
And and and then when I'm watching TV, I get
up at the commercial break.
Speaker 2 (47:18):
Good. Yeah, and move around. That's very good. You should
get up everyboudy every twenty minutes they take a commercial anyway,
and you should get up and move when they do that.
Speaker 8 (47:28):
Right, because you're not watching TV anyway.
Speaker 1 (47:31):
They're just trying to sell you something.
Speaker 2 (47:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, probably don't want to buy
it anyway. Well I never do.
Speaker 8 (47:42):
But but those are the things that I've been doing.
Speaker 1 (47:48):
It's a good show.
Speaker 2 (47:49):
Grandpa. Yeah, I told you. Okay, hey, okay, you take
care now. I think they got silver sneakers at the gym.
If you figure, well I don't have a gym, they
got silver sneakers. If you're at the age of sixty two,
you have Medicare. Take that Medicare card, go down there
(48:11):
and you can get into any gym you want for free.
It's called silver sneakers. You can still get your exercise
because people realize that if you and most people in
power realize, if you keep exercising, you're gonna be fine.
There are different muscles that you that you need to
(48:32):
work on and and you gotta realize now, I think
I like the upper body exercises. I take the epper
body exercise every day. I like them, and I like
the little body because I'll ride a bicycle. Get you.
If you want to live longer. Longevity is considered. It's
associated with riding a bicycle. Ride a stationary bicycle because
(48:55):
some people you can't their knees or their feet hurt
so but they can ride a bicycle and you just
sit there and still get your exercise. There's different ways
to do it. So these are the one things that
I'm saying. Started with your arm exercises, your chest and
back and muscles will work them. And then ride a bicycle.
If you ride a bicycle, the next thing you need
(49:15):
to do is start walking. Walking is good. It helps
strengthen your home and they'll give you a balance if
you're not. Then the fifth thing I'm telling you about,
do something you like doing. Do something you love, like
a sport or you know, riding a bicycle. Like I
said before, bowling, golfing, doing all kinds of things like that.
(49:37):
But make sure you do something live you're living, live,
make yourself live and enjoy it. Don't set around complaining.
Enjoy living, and then you'll be a super ager. That's
all it is. This is Grandpa. I'm here every week
and I'll teach you something good for you to follow,
something that will help you out to be a bat
(49:58):
live as long as you can talk across. See you
next week. Make sure you tune in. We'll be here
again with another great information for you.
