Speaker 1 (00:17):
All right, all right, good morning, Good morning everybody. Good
morning to you all. I'm hoping you're having a wonderful,
pleasant day and I'm gonna wish you a whole week. Yeah,
I'm just wanting to wear my hat here for a
minute to show you. I went to the story to
buy a hat. Every hat in the head writing on it.
I don't like hassput writing on it because I always

(00:37):
think you look I'm walking around as an advertisement, so
I don't like that. But this is what I had.
So I'm just showing you my hat. I got a hat,
new glasses. Life is getting better for me and I'm
enjoying every bit of it. Anyway. It's my pleasure to
have you with me on the show today as let
Grandpa speak the voice of the fifty plus and on

(01:00):
the rest of us, so everybody can benefit from this show.
And I always have something good to say, something different,
something unusual, but something that you will feel good about
because you can benefit from it. I'm your whole say.
I'm Grandpa, and like most grandparents, I love everybody. Everybody
to me is my grandchild, and I feel good about

(01:21):
it every time I think about it. I'll save that
I love everybody. I feel good. It makes me feel good.
It's something about it that happens to me. I know
I'm not saying something that a lot of people will hear.
I know a lot of people don't say it, but
it's for my benefit because I live within here and

(01:43):
so that's what I'm having Anyway. I'm a good person,
and that's what I feel when I say I love everybody.
I like to feel like I'm a good person. I've
been angry, I've been mad, I've been upset, and I
do not like that feeling. It's not good for me
to be upset where I want to hurt and do this,

(02:04):
So it's something wrong with that. So I feel better
by saying I love everybody. And what the world needs
now is love. You know, you know them songs they
talk about love. Love is very important, you know, love
conference hate. Love is just beautiful if you can deal
with it, it's a wonderful thing. I believe that die shot,

(02:24):
not killed. I'm saying that all the time. We need
to stop that we're harming good people, people who want
to live their life longer, people who are trying to
do a job to protect all of us, and we're
shooting them. That don't make no sense. That's not solving
your problem. Because after you shoot people who are innocent,

(02:48):
then you turn around shoot yourself. Why don't you do
that the first? You got it backwards? If you don't
want to live, or you got a problem like that,
shoot yourself, Lead them people alone and let them have
their own life because they got families and things that
take care of. And you don't need to be going
around shooting people anyway, cause you should not be killing
because I know you don't. You know it's wrong because

(03:11):
the minute you do it, you go and punish yourself
or run or hind or do whatever it is. Stop it,
Tell you one more time, stop it. Don't do it
no more. So we don't need to kill each other,
or we don't need to kill other people. We have
the intelligence in us. We may not know it or
understand it, but we have the intelligence in us to

(03:34):
solve all of our problems. This is just common sense.
We have the intelligence in us to solve all our problems.
That you got a problem, there is a better solution.
If you have a problem that's bad, don't seek another
bad problem because you're doing wrong. Seek a good problem.
Find a solution that's opposite of what you're feeling. If

(03:58):
you're feeling something wrong, turn that around. You don't want
the same thing. You don't want to power on the
wood power and build a big old flame up there.
That that's no good, and but that that's not right.
We're born with the mind that can survive. That's what

(04:19):
our mind is about survival, and that's what we do
as human being. We find a way to find solutions
for all of our problems so that we can think
about and we can create a better solution because that
seemed to be what we well, if I'm burning, I
don't want more fire on me to burn. I want

(04:40):
to get a solution where I'm got relief and I
feel good about that. I'm simplifying it, but I'm simplifying
it because I think people need to hear it. Simplify it,
and that's that's what it is, and that's what it is.
Everything we need, we can we can solve it. Everything
we can create, what everything we need, we should use

(05:01):
our mind for our intelligence. I know I'm right. When
you look around, you can see I'm right now, I
look at it. We thought of the automobile because we
got tired of walking. We wanted to travel further and faster.
So we came up with the automobile. We solved that.
Look at that automobiles running all over the place. Now

(05:23):
they got automobiles that you don't have to drive. You
just sit in it and they drive you there with
you sitting back. So we can solve these problems. We
create airplanes. We could fly all around the world. Isn't
that something? Think about it? Think about it. We thought
of that. Somebody like you and I thought about the

(05:45):
airplane and they followed through. It could have been me
that thought about it. I have done a lot of
things in my life, but it could have been you.
It could have been any one of us if that's
what you wanted to do. But your mind was somewhere elsewhere.
It shouldn't have been, so you got to think about it.
We can light up a city that night, sitting light's

(06:06):
going and you can see all over. That's solving your problems.
That's what we should do, and that's what we need
to do. We don't need to be doing other things,
getting angry or doing something wrong to other people, because
we can solve our problem. And when we solve our problems.
It's you doing something better or something good. We can make.

(06:27):
We can make people healthy, people get a new heart,
people get a new kidneys and stuff like that. I
don't I don't know if they get kidneys or nothing,
but anyway, you can get a new need. You can
get a lot of new things and and and it's different.
We thought of that. We're thinking of that because people
have problems, and so we come up with a good solution,

(06:49):
a real solution for your problem. Not going around harming
somebody else. That ain't solve nothing. We make movies and television.
Look at all the stuff that we're doing, and any
person can do it. We all have the same mind.
We also have the same abilities, and we can do it. It's
just that we're not thinking in the right way and

(07:10):
we're not on that program. So when people do that,
they're just ordinary people that pay attention to what they
want to do. They keep their mind on what they
want to do, and they want to accomplish certain things,
and so that's what they do. They work on it.
You can do it too, if you have something in
your mind that you would like to do, or you
upset about this or all set about that, get your

(07:32):
mind on something good. Thank good. That's all you have
to do. Thank good, and good will come to you.
That's all you have to do. That reminds me of
the song that I wrote some time ago called thank good,
Thank good, Thank good. That's all you gotta do. That's
all it's all about. Thank good. Your thoughts don't have

(07:54):
to be destructive. Your thoughts don't have to be neggaive.
Your thoughts don't have to be all messed up. Think good.
Every time you start thinking all that crazy stuff, think good.
Say look, I'm gonna thank good, because you'll come out
much better. You'll enjoy your life much better, and you
will live a long life to be able to say, look,

(08:16):
I made good decisions. I gave love instead of hate.
And that's what it is called love conquerensate. We have
the abilities soon do all kinds of things. Someone thought
of all the above, all that somebody thought of it,
and that person was like you or me that thought

(08:37):
of it, no different. It's just that they applied themselves
to doing what they wanted to do. They were inquisitive
about something and they wanted to learn and their mind.
You have the mind that's able to do that. We
all have a creative power within our mind and we
so we should concentrate on creating something, making something better

(08:57):
so that when time passed by generation come they don't
have to go to step one. They can go up
to step two because we did step one, and we
gave step one to them when they came. So they
just keep growing and it kept us to grow even
better and even more as a human being. Where we've
created our cars and airplane, we can create other things

(09:19):
as well and do better as well. And medicine that
keep ourselves healthy. All these things are good thought. So
if you have a problem, start thinking about it. Is
anything just anything to make anybody else feel good or
you don't have to worry about that, make yourself feel good,
because that's what it is. You live in your own mind.
We don't live outside out of ourself. We live inside.

(09:42):
It's inside your mind. Once you go into your house,
you don't know what's happening down the street. You don't
know what's happening across the street until you hear something
you know. So if you live within yourself, so it's you,
it's a problem. You are your issue. So work on
the problem of making yourself better and looking better. We

(10:05):
look at the world and we can find ways to
solve any of our problems. I want to say it
one more time to let you know you can solve
our own problems. We don't have to do the wrong
thing to say this the n We don't have to
go and murder somebody that's not that man and that
that don't help my situation. I'm still feeling bad even

(10:29):
after I do that, I'm feeling worse. So then I
wind up hurting myself. So don't you know, you're putting
yourself in a a in a trick bag that we
shouldn't be in. So that's why I say I love everybody.
It's good for you, give you a good idea of
who I said, because I feel good. I feel wonderful,

(10:49):
and life is good. And you want to feel good
and wonderful in your life. You want to live your
life so that you be happy. You want to live
your life so you don't be dealing with a little
minor negative things that don't matter in the first place,
because they don't really don't matter. But you know, it
makes me feel good to know that I'm a good person.

(11:10):
It makes me wake up in the morning. I'm happy.
I'm ready to go because I don't have no bad
thoughts in my mind. Since love can make us all
feel good, let's all try love. Love is what we
need right now. Love your neighbor. And I've always loved
my neighbors. We have a problem now we don't even

(11:32):
know our neighbor. In some places, I know all my
neighbors I know. I want all this way that wherever
they live, I live in a place where we all
associate and make sure that we know and understand and
appreciate each other. Love everybody. When you feel bad, sit down,

(11:52):
tell yourself. I love everybody. When you hate everybody, your
immune systems stops. Your immune systems protects your health. You
sought to deteriorate. Your whole body is out of whack.
So you got to open up yourself and you open
yourself up to sickness when you start hating and everything.

(12:16):
Sickness is how we is. A positive is the negative thing,
and it makes it. It's in us. We need to
realize that our emotions have a lot to do with
our condition. It has something to do with our blood pressure,
have something to do with our heart, have something to
do with all these things. So you want to think good.
You don't give up your heart. Your heart is where

(12:38):
your love is, So love everybody. Think about that and
try that for a while. This is Grandpa. I'm here
every week, and every week I talk about subject like that.
It's just common sense. Anybody can do it. I'm not
telling you anything mysterious. I'm not trying to get you
to follow me or anything. Just think good for yourself.

(12:58):
I don't need you to follow them. I'll tell you.
I'd like to tell you the truth, and then you
take it and do what you have to do with it.
I don't charge nothing, either, so that's up to you.
So I want to pass good wisdom and knowledge because
as we get older, we learn a lot of things.
Seniors learn a lot. A lot of times, seniors don't
give back, and the only thing we have to give back,

(13:21):
I think is the wisdom that we've learned in life.
I think every senior should write at least at one
page a story about what happened to them in their life,
about something that's important that happened to them in their life,
something that they had to overcome and improve. I think
every senior should do that because as they used to say,

(13:43):
the graveyard is where the most knowledge and the wisdom is.
That's where it is. They're buried there. So we don't
want to just bury the knowledge and everything. We want
to give it. And that's the purpose of the show.
I do the show because I want seniors to feel good,
to look better, to have a better life. And that's
what it's all about. You have to be told, you
have to learn these things. You have to listen. You

(14:04):
can't sit at home and say I know everything. You
basically do it, but you don't know it enough to
whey you're doing it. So a lot of times you
are doing it. Sometimes you're not. Most people don't. And
so anyway, I'll stra get your mind to realize that
you can do You can make your life wonderful every day.

(14:27):
Some people ask me, how can you be happy every day?
It's easy. It's easy. Try it and you will too.
It is Grandpa. I'll be right back. I'm gonna talk
about watermelon. You may think watermelon. What are you gonna
talk about? What is the most fascinating story you'll ever hear?
So make sure you stay tuned.

five seven six zero three six three seven before waiting
costs you thirty percent more as Guard Energy local, trusted, proven.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
All right, I like that too. Anyway, I'm going to
talk about watermelon. I'm gonna tell you the truth about
watermelons and its benefits. Most people didn't at least I
didn't know all the benefits about a watermelon and what
it was. Now I understand why people can work in
the sun a real hard long time and they eat watermelon.

(19:15):
They able to farst survive to do that. Anyway. You know,
when you were a kid, nothing is better than when
grandma or somebody was served up said we got a
watermelon and they had put it on ice sya loord
and made it a little bit cool. And you get
out there and you're sitting in the yard and eat
watermelon and spit seeds food at each other. You know,

(19:40):
juicy and delicious. We had no idea what we were doing.
We had no idea that that watermelon was very, very
good for us. Watermelon is probably the best item almost
that you can eat that grows in the ground. It is.
Melons are mostly water. They're ninety percent of water, so

(20:04):
they're full of vitamins A, B, six C, and lycopene.
They're full of antioxidants and minerals. That's what the water.
Remember hearing that lycopene and tomatoes. You've heard that at
four about both of them. But watermelon, another red colored fruit,

(20:24):
is full of the powerful photonutrients. Watermelon has some of
the highest levels of lycopene, and lycopene is a good
vitamin that we need, and all fruit is more than
all fruits and vegetables. Just one cup of a watermelon
has one and one half times the lycopene of any

(20:47):
other large vegetable, though even the tomato, and and who
and who? Who want to eat a whole watermelon? You
wanna eat maybe about a cup, and that's all you need.
You get as many vitamins and nutriles as you need,
because watermelon is one of the best sources of lycopenie,

(21:12):
with more than six thousand and five hundred micrograms in
less than a half of a cup. You hear me, well,
I'm saying you're getting an army's worth of inflammation fighting
antioxidants activity by lycopenia from the red flesh of watermelon.
And it's very stable. Even after watermelon has been cut

(21:36):
and sewed in the refrigerator, lycopene is there. It is
thought to be even more powerful when you get it
again than any other orange or red color or yellow
colored vitamin or whatever. The beta keene beta keratene I
mean to say, beta kerotene found in red it's more

(21:58):
than that. You get more than watermelon beats all of them.
I never knew this. So when I saw this article,
I kept saying, you know what, maybe I need to
do this because a lot of people don't even probably
don't even eat watermelon think about it. But watermelon is
one of the best things that you can eat. Lycopine
is a powerful natural anti inflammatory. It's antioxidants, its value

(22:25):
for his role in protecting the cardiovascular system, your bone health,
and it also preventing cancers. It can help prevent cancer. Man,
this is good. Along with lycopine, watermelon has another powerful photochemical, citrolin,
and it has amino acid in it. It's got Hey,

(22:49):
I don't really need anything but a watermelon. Citroline gets
converted into another important chemical in our body called argentine,
and al argentine is you know that as a amino acid.
You know that argentine is used to create nitric oxide,

(23:11):
which has a powerful benefits on the heart and the
blood pressure. That all that's from a watermelon. We can
actually cause blood pressure to relax and open up, lowering
your blood pressure, developing your body so it can carry
more oxygen to parts of the body where it is needed,

(23:33):
like in your muscles and all of those things, your
heart and your brain. It also supply those a study
from Florida State University, they found out that watermelon could
make a significant differences in lowering your blood pressure, especially
in overweight people, by relaxing the blood vessels in your body,

(23:56):
and we need that blood very important. Sits citraline, which
converts to arginine, can also help prevent accumulation of fat
in the fat cells because it blocks an enzyme that
stores up this fat, and because citraline is a precursor

(24:18):
to natric acid, and a lot of people take appils
for this stuff. Just eat a watermelon. It can also
help improve your erectile dysfunction in man and a similar
way like viagra does. It was sort of a you
don't need viagraa just eat a watermelon. Although we have

(24:40):
quite a bit of watermelon to get the same effect.
It does the same thing as viagra. A watermelon does that.
And so here we are. These are what the experts said.
They must be right, so we need to listen. As
you can see in this article, watermelon is on one

(25:01):
of the lists of foods that being the best statins
you can get for heart health. Watermelon and explains to me,
like I said, it explains how so many people could
work out in the sun of farming every day all
day and they eat watermelon. Most of them do eat
watermelon in the evening. It's all about the lycopine car

(25:23):
the cardionoids and the power for anti antioxidants capable of
destroying free radicals in your body which attack our bodies
and can continue to cause creative disease as we age.
In one study of thirteen thousand adult Americans, low levels

(25:45):
of cardonoids were a key predictor to early deaths. Watermelon
can help with that, especially low blood vessels or low
levels of lycopine. Lycopine protects our cardiovascular system and male
reproduction system, and it is and in your skin as well.

(26:08):
It helps your skin alter and it protects the UV
damage from the sun the sun comes, it also protects
your skin. And that's what I've been thinking about. Didn't
I get down to this part. I know that it
does that. Now several studies have been conducted showing that

(26:29):
the strong link between levels of lycopine and heart disease.
Analysis from the physicians is health and study they study
that decreased in strokes in men when they eat watermelons.
That's pretty good because a lot of strokes. We did

(26:52):
a show of strokes, So you know, strokes or something
that we don't want. We don't want that to happen.
So eat a little watermelon at the highest blood levels
in Licopin another study in filling following one thousand men

(27:15):
for twelve years, they had similar results. The watermelon with
lycopene helped them to survive and to help them to
stay healthy and strong. Licopine is also responsible for limiting
enzyme responsibility black like you're making your cholesterol. That's what
it should be, and so eating foods with more lycopine

(27:37):
also helps to reduce cholesterol, especially LLD LDL cholesterol, the
good and the bad lesterol, which is good for your
heart and for you. Then go on, I know that
must be true. I eat watermelon and I eat it.

(27:58):
You know I'm gonna get one when I get through
doing this show. But I eat them maybe like once
or twice a week. And my son, who is a
medical doctor as well, he advised me all to do
that at my agen. So a lot of people just
asked me to say, how do you look so good?
How do you do this? How does it? Because you,
I'm telling you now get you a watermelon, and I'm

(28:20):
telling you all the benefits for it, So if you
listen to the show, you're gonna even learn more. It
has anti cancer power and most people nowadays are worried
about power. Now. Lycopene is a lifesaver in more ways
than one. Besides the cardigo vascular benefits, lycopin antioxidant power

(28:41):
extends to anti cancer effects as well. In twenty fourteen,
meta analysis and tense sunnis show that lycopene to be
protective against the over in cancers ovarian cancers I shouldn't saying,
I'm saying it real fast, O very answer, as well
as brain tumors and breast tumors. Watermelon and probably most

(29:07):
of these people that have this don't know about this.
That's why I was so excited to tell you about this,
to get you maybe to get your health back in
a lot of ways. And what what got me really
interested in this is that recently I went to went
to the hospital and my PSA spike. I don't mind
telling you about it because I feel good about it now. Uh,

(29:29):
my PSA spiked up, so I went in to see
about it. I was gaining weight and all that, and
I teld I'm gaining weight too fast. So I went
to went in and had a physical and they took
a blood test and that showed it. But after after
a spiked like that, I started eating the watermelon and

(29:52):
I I never felt anything before. I passed all the tests.
I passed the sound thing. A pastor ain't where to
do the anal tests and all that. I passed everything.
But they told me, say what you're gonna do, you know,
start doing the healthiest thing like that. You probably don't
have cancer, probably won't ever have it, but we want

(30:14):
to make sure that you stay healthy. And so what
happens watermever, and so I got interested in then our
dead found this research. Of course we know about a
lycopenis value in fighting posturate cancer. There it is, and
in several studies, higher stracks of foods containing licopine and

(30:36):
a higher serum or plastic concentration of lycopedion it was
associated with significant decreases in the risk of prostate cancer.
That's what they did, especially the more lethal kind of
phostrate cancer. It helps that that's what you want to do.
The more lethal kind is what you want to get
rid of. Now, when researchers studied only the men who

(30:59):
have at least one high risk PSA test. The subjects
had a fifty percent decrease risk and lethal and lethal
I should say lethal postrate cancer. So if you have
in trouble man out there, I think you should get

(31:20):
your watermelon. I think you would do much better. Like me.
I'm doing it myself and I feel much better. I
know I'm fine and I'm befine. Other studies have shown
the LC opinion's power FRI's cancer, its ability to effect
against lung cancer, esophagal, stomach, pantriotic, collectoral, and cervical cancers

(31:45):
as well. It works against all of those a lot
of times you have problems. Starting now, each you some watermelon,
and it may even prevent a lot of the problems
that you can have. All those things about cancer, watermelon
following cancers probably the number one thing we need to
know about today. So get you a watermelon. Start eating

(32:08):
the watermelon at least twice a week if you can.
I'm not talking about the watermelons that that you do
a little around you find. It's something about the real
watermelon that grow in the ground. Watermelons get their name
because they are over ninety water. That's what I say.
And the water is full of electrolytes potassium which helps

(32:29):
stay and help. The hot can't keep you hydrated, or
it can. It can rehydrate you. The perfect fruit to
eat on hot summer days after a hard day and
sweaty workout. Delicious juice can help prevent muscle soreness, especially

(32:50):
if you have watermelon before your intense workout. Now I
take a I mean, I asked when I work out,
but now realize I can just eat a watermelon. But
so that's what I'm gonna do. It's not just the
red part. All parts of it is good. While most
of us eat the juicy red part of the water melon,

(33:13):
the whole thing is actually edible. I didn't know that
because I usually throw everything away. I do, even the seeds,
And I said that all element part of it is
nutris It is chuck full of nutrients from the red
center to the stem en and also in blossoms. And
nothing in the whole part of the watermelon is good.

(33:37):
Near the rhine is good. Is as a platorid, impressive antioxidants,
fleavoronois lycopene, and vitamin sea. Even the green part is
full of nutrients. The rhine is full of chlorophyll and
contains even more citralline, which turns to the amino acid.

(33:58):
Remember in the red flesh. Try and follow in the
watermelon ryans. Try not to throw away the watermelon ryans.
Put them in a blender, grind them up, you know,
and you make a little something like a little drink
out of them. That's also ben help. This is the
probably one of the best food items I've done on

(34:19):
the show watermelon, and I'm surprised at it because I
never even thought about it. I'll see the watermelon sitting there,
people walk mind people not you to buy them, but
I think everybody when they walk by with your car,
get you a watermelon and take it home and eat
that because it's gonna be your health, and do it
often as you can. It is still the best. However,

(34:41):
to pick the ripest watermelon, I know what you do.
You know, life of pan content continues increase all the
way until the time the watermelon is that it's readiest
and ripest. Part. Now, most people don't well I'm gonna
talk about that in a minute. Don't spit out those
seas unless you are in a watermelon seeds spitting contests.

(35:07):
And remember as kids reached to split that watermelon seeds out,
throw all those seeds away. I'll still well, I had
one watermelon that I don't find a lot of watermelon
with seeds. I have a lot of seedless watermelons. Now,
seeds are not only edible, but actually extremely good for you.
They're full of iron, zinc, fiber, and protein. Seedless watermelon

(35:31):
are okay to eat. They're not genetically modified. Only hybrid
forms of watermelon or especially or not you should eat.
You get. We got the habit formers of watermelon that
may not do the same thing. At least if it
does it, they're not reporting that it doesn't. These doctors

(35:52):
are saying watermelons are rich and antiflammatory substances, including vitamin
E chepanoids and which can help to block the inflammation
of certain enzymes in your body. While being very low

(36:13):
in calories, about only forty eight calories to a cup
of watermelon. Watermelon also contains an impressive variety of other
important essensual vitamins. And as a kid, you know, we
see well, we used to go out and play in
the sun. I remember all that we'd be sweating and everything.

(36:35):
We eat a watermelon, and you know our body would
reset and recoup us. And we didn't pay much attention
to it in those days. But now we know, and
through tests, through research, we know that it is a
very good item to eat and to have. So when
the summer come or when any crime, even right now

(36:57):
they sell watermelon on the market, go get a walk.
So this is not an advertisement for watermelon. I'm telling
you this so that you can do something to keep
your body and your health in good shame. It is
full of vitamin A, it is full of vinamin C,
it is full of vinamin B six, potassium and magnesium.

(37:20):
And I know, hey, you can't go wrong by eating
a little bit of more water. The age old question,
how do you pick the perfect watermelon? I know about that.
How do you pick the perfect watermelon? Usually when I
go on the watermelon I see a lot of people thump, dump, dump.

(37:43):
They thumped the watermelon. They think it has a certain sound,
and maybe it does. I don't know that it has
a solid sound. I don't know if that works or not,
because I know a lot of times I've seen people
thump and then I asked them was a watermelon? Any good,
said no, it was no good, even after they stumped
it was not one. But they said, if you look

(38:07):
on the other side of a pale waterman for a
pale spot, a butter colored yellow spot, not white, not green,
but sort of a yellow spot on the bottom of them.
This is the best indicator of the ripeness of the watermelon.
I never knew that. I never you know, when I

(38:29):
go on and buy one, I get them. The green,
the greener they are, the more I'm inclined to buy them,
because I don't like them halfway grey. I like that
real dark green watermelon and always and I come out
pretty good on that one too. Usually that one is
to me, is right. But I didn't know you could
look on the bottom and look for a little yellow spot.

(38:49):
If you see that yellow spot on there, you know
that that watermelon is not too not too good. It
looked like butter or something. They say, this is one
of the best indicators to the ripest watermelon. When you
find me that spot. Also pick up, pick up, pick
up a few, and choose the one that heavier in

(39:11):
it beer because of its sign. And I used to
buy it. They are all heavy, you know, like to
me they're they're all heavy. So but they're trying to
say also, if it's real heavy, real, the heavier it is,
the more likely it is to be ripened it the
way you want it. But I think that most of
the watermelon is when they finally get to the store.

(39:34):
I think most of them have been ripen and they're
almost good for you. But many, many people thump the
waterman to check its ripeness, like I said before, and
they listen for that sound. They think that that's how
you do it. I don't know. Like I say, I'm
gonna seat my method. I'm gonna keep looking for the
one that the green, that have more green in it

(39:57):
than any other. So that's what I like, and that's
what I'm gonna say. Would beware watermelons do contain a
reasonable quality of feu troats, food throats. You know, it's
a sugar like that. It is mindful of you. So
if you add your sugar, take be careful. So eat watermelon.

(40:17):
For that reason, they're saying, eat it in moderation. You
don't need a lot of it to get all the
good benefits for it, you know. But me, I used
to cut them down the middle halfway and I cut
him cut that halfway. I cut him in quarters. And
when I eat, I eat that whole quarter, that first quarter,
and sometimes I go back, if I eated it earlier

(40:39):
in the day, I'll go back and eat the other quarter.
And my son told me to make sure. He's the
one that got me onto it. And you know, he's
a medical doctor, so he's the one that told me
about eating watermelon and tomato. But the watermelon have taken over.
And after I've seen this article, I say, oh no,

(41:02):
I'm sticking with the water metals now on. And so
I'll figure I'm going to do that. I think everybody
should do it. I've told you all the good reasons
why lycopene and all the other vitamins and dominos in it.
It is loaded with everything, the nutias and electrolytes, is
molded in everything that we need to live a happy life.

(41:25):
And I haven't heard anything.

Speaker 4 (41:26):
You know.

Speaker 1 (41:26):
You hear things about apples. I used to eat apple
a day, and hear things about grapes having respera tool
in it. You hear all kind of stories. But let
me tell you, watermelon has proven to me it has
more value, more nuisias, more vitamins, more of everything that
we need for our body is in that watermelon. And

(41:50):
also it's the very thing that fights cancer. It fights
postrate cancer, it fights all kinds of cancers. So a
lot of ladies may have cancer. Go and your breast
or whatever it is or whatever, get you a watermelon
and start eating that. Now, I'm not saying you're gonna
be cured by that. I don't know. Go to your

(42:11):
doctor for your medical problem. But watermelon has properties in
it that can help you. And also ask your doctor
about it. Don't throw around and say, well, Grandpa said this,
Grandpa ain't saying nothing that I'm telling you. Tell I'm
telling you this. See your doctor before you do anything.
But watermelon is a grocery product that you can that

(42:33):
you can get. Ask him about all the things that
I've said that a watermelon can do for you. And
if you do that, check it out see see for yourself,
or just go buy water And I'm giving you the
articles that they most of the professionals have said this
is what works. So see what it works for you.

(42:53):
So be mindful of your sugar, don't don't try to
overtake food tros. But but to me, I like the
sweet and I'm gonna eat out, eat and eat them anyway,
so I'll just have to worry about I don't worry
about the sugar part myself. But that was the last
part that they said. And they said that because watermelon
are filling and it has a high water content and

(43:15):
a higher fiber content, the old myth that watermelons are
high in glocemic is not true. It's not true. This
is because the glacemic load of the watermelon is actually
fairly low. Since it's nearly impossible to overeat large quantities

(43:38):
of food that are filling as watermelon, they take a
lot of food to eat to compare with the benefits
you get from eating a watermelon. So enjoy your watermelon. Also,
try tell your friends about it and make line juice.

(44:01):
Make juice out of those rhymes and all things like that.
You can use it. I'm telling you, I think this
has been one of the secrets to help us all
their healthier. I have a caller calling.

Speaker 7 (44:12):
You on the line. Thank Grandpa. How are you doing.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
I'm doing good, talking about watermelon and how the benefits
of it for you, for you eating well.

Speaker 7 (44:25):
I remember as a kid, are you seeing watermelon and
they give you a big old slice like you have
a half moon. And then after you get to eating,
you shit up there and you went you go urinate
all day long. So I know what thing? It cleans

(44:48):
you out. Now, I know at ten years old, I
didn't have bad beatings, right, but I know I knew
I was going to the bathroom alf from that. And
we used to put salt on it. I don't know
if you talked about that. Is that good or bad?

(45:12):
What's that putting salt on the watermelon?

Speaker 1 (45:16):
Well, I don't know. I guess that's what you want
to do. It's finally it already has uh. It helps
you to all retain your your so that you don't
be dehydrated. It does that automatically, and I think salt
also does it does that. Salt will help you to
retain the water. To anybody, but you don't need it
if you no watermelon, salt is okay. I guess it

(45:38):
just adds to it.

Speaker 7 (45:40):
I'm just remembering what I did as a kid. Now,
they say there's a certain way to buy watermelon. You
have a big white spot at the bottom. Then you
have the the the dark line separated from the from
the from the uh white line, and then you dump

(46:03):
it and if it sounds like it's hollow, then that
means that's a good watermelon.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
So what you got to say about that? They well,
I like, I say, like like the like the experts
are saying. They're saying that look on the bottom of
the watermelon and look for a like a butterclor or
a yellow spot on the bottle of it. That lets
you know that the watermelon is ripe. And like for me,

(46:31):
I get them ripe if they're dark green.

Speaker 6 (46:33):
I like that.

Speaker 7 (46:35):
No, okay, you don't knock on the watermelon. Pick it
up and knock on it.

Speaker 1 (46:43):
No, I've seen that done, and I've tried that well
a couple of times, and I would get home and
the watermelon would not be sweet, or it will not
be what I expected it to be.

Speaker 7 (46:55):
So I remember, I'm not huh. I remember I knocked
on one and it knocked back at me. I said,
And when I said, somebody's in his watermelon.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
Yeah, somebody didn't ever locks back at you. You know,
maybe if it's just an echo.

Speaker 7 (47:20):
Well, it's a real interesting show. I'm going to go
buy me two or three watermelons. Now that you told
me I can get an erection. Yeah, I'm gonna stock up.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
How long?

Speaker 7 (47:36):
How long?

Speaker 1 (47:42):
Yeah? Well, hey, I just want people to know that
watermelon has a lot of benefits.

Speaker 4 (47:52):
Uh for you.

Speaker 1 (47:52):
That's good.

Speaker 7 (47:54):
Wow, it's amazing.

Speaker 1 (47:56):
Yeah, it's amazing. I was, I was, I was, I was,
I was just I was over enjoyed when I read
this article, and I kept saying, watermelon, do all this.
Everybody should eat watermelon, men, women, children, everybody, because they're
really wonderful for you and new chance for you. Now
I understand. You know how people who work out in

(48:17):
the sun and all that, how they made it most
of me watermelon. So I said, I'll be dog. Well
that's where it is. You know, anybody talk about it.

Speaker 7 (48:29):
One thing is for sure, if doctor start prescribing watermelon,
there'll be a lot of less fat people in the world.

Speaker 1 (48:38):
Got that right. Well, my son woke me up to it.
He's the one that told me about it, and I
just say, man, I'm so glad that he was available
to tell me things like this. So and so that's
how I said, well, let me find out about watermelon.
And when I did, I said, most people probably don't

(48:58):
even think about watermelon being as a wonderful food to
eat that they probably didn't even know. So that's why
I wanted to make sure that I brought it to
the public. It's a wonderful thing and we're all blessed
to have it. So I'm gonna get me a watermelon

(49:20):
today and naturally I will be eating it all weekend. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (49:27):
Yeah, so good show, Grandpa.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
Okay, all right, thank you for calling. Yeah, well that's
the shoulder for the day. Like I said, I always
come out with something new, something that you don't really
know about, something that we all need to know and
understand about, and it keeps us all healthy. For you,
if you're a senior person, eat some watermelon, I'm sure

(49:53):
I better life will be better for you. Just the
grandparm here every Saturday morning at nine income just put in,
let Grandpa speak into your computer and tell your friends
about it too, and I will see you next week.
