Speaker 2 (01:42):
I also want to remind you that we're going to

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Six zero six.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
I'm sorry, eight hundred six zero six eighty eight twenty
two one eight hundred six zero six eighty eight twenty
two is our number. All right, We're going to begin
this hour in a discussion of an interesting experiment that.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Went on.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
That an individual, a food blogger, did an experiment with
respect to former President Donald Trump and current President Joe
Biden's diets, basically an eating experience. You've heard the expression,

(03:27):
I'm sure of the phrase you are what you eat. Well,
it came from apparently a French author by the name
of Anthelm Severan who wrote, and I quote, tell me
what you eat, and I will tell you what you
are close quote. A recent experiment was conducted by a
high profile food blogger who wanted to see and feel

(03:52):
what it was like to eat for a day like
both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, and
after carefully researching credible sources for what he would eat
for his experiment, he shared the results with.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
The media and they are as follows.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
And I've talked about their diets in the past, by
the way, yes I have, but he's kind of compressed it.
Donald Trump is, of course infamous for his notorious unhealthy diet.
We know this, but it turns out that Joe Biden's
diet isn't that much better. That's according to this social

(04:37):
media personality who ate like the two politicians for an
entire day. He is a TikToker by the name of
Bennett Raa. He concluded by the end of the experiment
that not one of them, not either one of them,
has a diet that is even close to that of
normal people. President Donald Trump's daily consumption of at least

(05:02):
twelve diet cokes and a McDonald's a ray of food
that he puts away left mister Ray feeling hungover and
though he was almost like he was in a Supersize
Me experiment if you know anything about that Supersized Me

(05:24):
movie that was out a long while ago. But President
Biden's peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, he said, seemed almost
childlike and transported him back to school days of brown
bag lunches. Biden's died was very simple, really, and got
rid of any question of any decision of fatigue. After

(05:50):
he said, I left like this diet was not.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
Meant for me. He consumed it.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
He was bored. He said it was bland. There wasn't
enough protein for him. So he was hungry after he
got done, and also sugared up because there was a
lot of gatorade that was consumed.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
That stuff is total garbage.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
I have talked about that for many years, how bad
it is to drink gatorade, and there's such healthier alternatives
to that, just for you waiting to find out now.
He researched both president's diets via news articles and books,
just like I had done in the past, and he
drew from the works. According to Alex Prudome's Dinner with

(06:39):
the President, which covers both Biden and Trump's diets, and
Corey Lewinowski's Let Trump Be Trump, which also contains details
about former president's food preferences, he goes on to say
that Biden usually he begins his day with a bowl

(07:02):
of special k cereal and an orange Gatorade. For lunch,
President Biden enjoys a peanut butter and jelly sandwich excuse me,
and an apple and more gatorade, while for dinner he

(07:22):
likes to have angel hair pasta with red sauce and
another gatorade. Snacks include protein and fig Newton's This is
Now Biden, President Biden, as well as vanilla chocolate chip
ice cream.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
We all know that.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
We also see him, you know, the news media following
him around. He's in these ice cream shops, in and
out of the ice cream shops.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
Eating hoggen does.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
Of course, he probably doesn't understand the relationship between the
constant dairy foods that he's eating, the hogandawes, the sugar
and the dairy, the cow milk, and his sleep apnea,
meaning he has to wear a seapap machine to keep
the airway open at night because he collapses because his

(08:15):
soft palate, which is behind the hard palate in the
throat area, just collapses because it's swollen because of the
fact that he's eating the most allergenic food there is,
that being cow milk. And you know, not to mention
all the sugar and all the junk that's in hoganas
and other forms of ice creams that you get in

(08:36):
the prototypical conventional ice cream store. By the way, there
are options, you know, there's coconut ice cream. There's all
kinds of different ice creams for you to find that
are plant based in stores like natural grocers and other
stores around the country. So there's no reason any longer
to be limiting yourself to eating the blood of a

(08:59):
cow minus the hemoglobin, which is what milk is. And
I grew up in the Midwest, so trust me. And
when I say I owed it on cow milk and
everything cow growing up in the Midwest, because that's what
you do. You eat cheese, you drink milk. Everything is
almost dairy and red meat in the Midwest. And no

(09:21):
wonder I had chronic health problems, allergies, ezma, Sinus's bronchite issue,
name it, I had it. And I'm certain that it
had a lot to do with the foods that, unfortunately
my parents were providing for me, they not knowing that
it was not that good.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Now we know these things.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
I know these things just because I'm a doctor now
and this is my air of expertise clinical nutrition boards,
certified twice in that arena and practicing, having practiced it
for a long time in service service, helping to service
thirty thousand patients with that knowledge and information, and honored

(10:01):
it was to me. Trump, on the other hand, normally
skips breakfast but drinks diet cokes. Lunch is often a
steak so well done that it curls up on the corners,
which he eats with ketchup, and at times he has
a rogue for dressing a rogue for dressing on his salad.
Typical dinner for Trump has two big macs, two file

(10:22):
of fish, and a small chocolate shake. Again more diet coke.
Snacks include Doritos and Lays potato chips more diet coke.
Trump is known to enjoy twelve cans at least a
day of diet coke, and I guess after doing a
day of each of these diets, like a day of

(10:44):
Biden's diet and a day of Trump's diet, he felt nauseated,
sick out of it, and didn't ever want to go
back there. I don't blame him. I'm doctor Bob Martin.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
Welcome Week Eves, we Doom, Welcome June, show me what
you do Wen Doob.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Welcome you and I welcome you or welcome you back
to this hour of the Doctor Bob Martin Show. Thank
you so very much for tuning into the program. The
website that we are attached to also here on the
show is doctor Bob dot com, spelling out the word
doctor d O C t O R Bob dot com.
You can leave an email there with a health related

(11:45):
question if you like. There's lots of news to learn
about there. That's where the podcast library is, It's where
all the social media platforms are, Instagram, x LinkedIn all that,
and we are going to return to answering phone calls
questions on the topic of health shortly.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
But first we have for you.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
This week's installment of the Health Alternative of the Week.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
Okay, so I hope you're.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
With us last hour, because last hour I talked about
how a compound inside orange peels. Yes, the peeling of
an orange, the stuff we throw away to get to
the orange inside. Now, researchers have found that the compound,
a compound in orange peels actually helps to protect us

(12:48):
from or against hardening of the arteries athleosclerosis, and they're
encouraging us to eat the orange peel. Just make sure
the orange peel is organic, so you're not getting a
load of pesticides and insecticides organic orange peels. And so
you cut these orange peels up instead of throwing them
away into little slivers, or you can grind them up

(13:11):
and you're smoothie a little bit a little.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
Bit of a time.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Don't take the whole orange peel of a gigantic orange
all in one trip, spread it out, put a little
bit of it in your salad, and little bitty strips
of it wake that salad up.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
Make it more interesting.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
And also at the same time, get that ingredient that's
in the orange peel to reduce your risk of athleosclerosis,
of hardening the arteries, or coronary heart disease going forward.
In other words, use the orange peel. So this week's
health alternative of the week is just that. Seven incredible

(13:49):
health reasons to include orange peels in your diet. Oranges
are one of the most popular fruits. We all know that,
and they deliver a ton of incredible health benefits. But
these orange peels, this latest discovery, one of the healthiest
parts of the fruit is the peeling. And we do
throw a lot of peeling away of many other fruits,

(14:11):
apples as well. And when you're eating an apple with
plastic on it that's dipped in paraffin, yes you throw
that away, or any apple that has an a peel,
a peel on it no good. But get That's why
I make the argument for organic. You don't have to
worry about that. When you're getting an organic piece of fruit.
It's important. Now some might say, well the peel, you know,

(14:35):
it's a little aggressive, it's a little sour. Yeah it is,
but don't take a lot of it in a little
bit at a time.

Speaker 3 (14:42):
That's the key.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
The orange peel is loaded full of fiber, vitamin C
in these all important polyphenols. This week's health alternative of
the Week is the seven Incredible health reasons Why do
you include orange peels in your diet? The peeling of
the orange is comprised of these important polyflavonoids and hesperdint,

(15:07):
which are shown to maintain blood cholesterol and blood pressure levels.
See how important that is therapeutically for you. Helping to
mitigate inflammation, the orange peel does and helps to reduce
cardiovascular disease and stroke by lowering the risk of athlorosclerosis.

(15:27):
Orange peel also contains high amounts of vitamin A, folate, riboflavin, thiamine,
vitamin B six. So these are B vitamins and calcium
that may lower the risk of chronic health conditions, including
not just the athlorosclerosis angle because we now know that

(15:49):
that's the case, but diabetes, obesity, and even Alzheimer's disease.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
So from here on out.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
When you're peeling an orange, think of it differently. Slice it,
dice it, grind it whatever you need to do, and
then in ingest it. If it's organic, start off with
small amounts and increase it to your food supply.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
You'll be better off.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
It is a healthier alternative than chucking it down the
drainer into the garbage bucket. These orange piels have been
used to treat indigestion, constipation, flatulence, gas, and other gastro
intestin problems too, and so you enhance You can even

(16:27):
enhance your immune system by eating the orange peel rather
than tossing it away. Nearly ninety percent of the essential
oils and orange peels are composed of limanine, a naturally
occurring chemical that can be studied for its anti inflammatory

(16:51):
and anti cancer properties, including against skin cancer. So once again, folks,
it's that age old Nature has the answer. Nature is
the answer, and get it as pure in nature as
you can get it organic. The best way to eat
orange peels is to cut them into very very tiny,

(17:12):
very thin strips and add them to your salads, your smoothies.
You can you can also make an orange zest by
finely grating orange peel then blending it into yogurt or
your oatmeal, or you into your muffins, the whole grain

(17:33):
muffins that you're making, or you're salad dressing, to name
a few. And despite its nutritional benefits, orange peels have
a tough texture and an unpleasant bitter taste. You know
that because you've probably have bitten into an orange in
the past. It's recommended not to eat too many at
one time because if you get too many because of

(17:55):
the extreme amount of these flavonoids, these polyflavonoids, you remember,
sometimes these fruits and veggies, they put things in it
in their peels to detract vermin and insects from getting
after them, and that's why they will They have they
have grown to and evolved into putting the bitterness in

(18:20):
the peelings so that the birds and the insects and
other things don't eat them. But we should be as
humans consuming them because they're important to our health. You
can find organic oranges at all natural grocer stores where
their products are non GMO certified and USDA organic. You

(18:45):
can trust organic at natural grocers, and if you don't
have a natural grocery store nearest to you. You can
go to Naturalgrocers dot com naturalgrocers dot Com their website
to learn if there happens to be a store near
where you live. All right, let's get back to phones.
Next up, we say hello to Frank in Atkins, Iowa.

Speaker 5 (19:10):
Get after reminded us strike right, you're calling from a
little count of Actons, Iowa.

Speaker 6 (19:15):
My life has a.

Speaker 5 (19:16):
Very serious scenario with what she calls cibo sig o.
She's tried everything, she can't gain any weight. She's actually
losing weight. He listens to doctor Bob religiously. I say
that loosely because she goes to church at so she
can only listen to the first hour if doctor Bob

(19:37):
estentially possibly addressed Cybo ant about it don't work. She's
tried everything and she's just not winning the war the
battle of Cybo. So thank wager.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
All right, Frank from state of Iowa. There Atkins, thank
you for calling on your wife's behalf.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
Appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
And I want to let you know that the topic
of what was called cibo sibo stands for small intestine
bacterial overgrowth. We have talked about it on the program before,
but I don't mind discussing it again. It's an important topic.
A lot of people actually have it and don't even
know that they have CEBO, this small intestine bacterial overgrowth. Medicine,

(20:25):
the area of medicine is not the place to be
for this. It isn't and they've already tried everything, and
I wouldn't dip back into that. You just need a
new healing art. She's going to need and I'll cover
this when we come back from this break a little bit,
but she's going to need to see a nature pathic doctor,
a chybropractic doctor who's trained at nutrition, functional medicine, doctor,

(20:47):
integrative trained doctor, HOMEPAS, somebody other than a conventional medical doctor.

Speaker 3 (20:51):
I'll discuss and when we come back. I'm doctor Bob Martin,
a mainstay. But everybody's got a choice to make. Everybody
needs a leave of faith. When are you taking yours?
What are you info? You're tuned into the doctor Bob

(21:15):
Marchin show. Thank you for that.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Appreciate that we'll have for you shortly here the health
outrage of the week. But before we get to that,
I want to finish answering the question of Frank who
called in just before the break there Frank from Atkins, Iowa,
regarding his wife who's got a condition apparently if it's
properly diagnosed called cebow SIBO. It stands for small intestinal

(21:42):
bacterial overgrowth. Now Frank's wife has been to multiple doctors,
tried multiple rounds of antibiotics. This is not a good
condition in medicine to treat. They have very little effect
on this with their drugs. This is really a lifestyle
nutritional problem and it was probably caused by drugs initially,

(22:03):
either by taking antibiotics or taking painkilling drugs or something
upset the delicate balance within his wife's small intestine, and
now she's reeling from it. And that's why you have
to be judicious in your use of any pharmaceutical drug
because it can mess you up. You can get all
you can also get SIBO through food poisoning and other things.

(22:25):
There's lots of ways you can develop it. But it
is diagnosed. CIBO, or small intestinal bacteria overth is diagnosed
with a test called a lactulose breath test or some
other means.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
That's usually how it's diagnosed.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
And this is a complicated condition and it's not easy
to get over but it can be greatly helped and
resolved with the right type of care. And the right
type of care doesn't include it. It sounds like the
medical care that she's been getting it's not working. Why
go back there to get another drug as though some
man drug they're going to pull out. No, they if

(23:01):
they would have been able to help her, they would
have done it by now. So you need to get
to a fod MAP fod MAP diet.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
That's what needs to be incorporated for her.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
FODMAP fod MAP diet, and that could explain why she's
not responding. Fod MAP stands for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides and
monosaccharides and polyols. This is the type of diet she
needs to be on. Look it up, start that diet.

(23:37):
Fod fod fod MAP all one word. These are specific
types of sugars founded foods, such as fructose, lactose, fructens, galactins, polyols.
Because they're not absorbed completely by the human body, they're
easily fermented by the gut bacteria and can cause significant

(24:01):
gaster intestinal problems. That's the I meant to say, she
should not she should incorporate this food or it looks
like food.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
We look at it, but it's missing it. Oh, it's
a fodd Map diet.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
This is how you avoid these kinds of problems by
getting on that diet.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
Now, there are.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Supplements that she should also be utilizing Frank, including doctor
Ohira's probiotics.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
She should be taking a.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Supplement called Burberine Burberine MX MEDX Burberine MEDX by Terry
Naturally Vitamins. We're going to need to knock out that
bacteria overgrowth with a Reaganol oil which is basically a
regano oil with olive oil. A Reaganol oil by North

(24:54):
American Urban Spice Company. She'll need to take about ten
to twenty drop of grapefruit seed extract in three glasses
of water per day. We have had great results with
SEBO with using olive leaf extract which are basically herbal pills,

(25:15):
and then drinking maybe three to six cups of Potiarcho
tea every day. The foods that we tell people who
are who have this SEBO bacterial overgrowth to try to avoid.
There's diets that she needs to follow. The fod map

(25:38):
fod MAP diet will help to explain why she's not
responding to these certain saccharides which she's coming in contact with.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
And if she just follows that.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
And then gets under the care of a doctor who's
aware of SEBO, obviously she has not done that yet,
but they exist right there in Iowa. You'll be able
to find a doctor who is trained in functional medicine
or integrated medicine. That might be a nature pathic doctor,

(26:13):
a nature pathic physician, a chiropractic physician, a homeopathic physician.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
Different types of doctors.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
There's more than medical out there, because medical is not
the key in this particular case, and you've already figured
that out. But some people just believe that that's the
only game in town. It'd be like going out to
try to find a car and believing the only one
available is a Chevrolet. There's no other makes available out there,
or believing there's only one car company, the Ford Motor Company.

(26:41):
They're both good cars and they should exist, but they're
not the only game in town. You should shop around
the same thing, and that the same thing applies for healthcare.
This is not an emergency situation. Use medicine for what
it's supposed to be used for. Crisis management. But in
this case, it's not crisis management, even though she probably

(27:02):
feels like it is. It's just a chronic problem that
is not going to be resolved through medical care. This
requires a whole different approach, and you can apply this
to about a lot of other conditions too that people
are completely unaware of. All Right, time for the health
outrage of the week, Here we go.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
She's I don't believe it. Come on Easter for the
health abridge because it's nothing.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
But as it is, the big drug company MRK defrauded
the public for over a decade, falsely advertising their MMR Measles,
mumps and rubella vaccine as being safe and effective against
a against staggering evidence that's come out. Much of the
well established vaccine science that Americans trust is really just

(27:51):
fraudulent marketing and rigged trials put forth by pharmaceutical companies.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
The Third Circuit US Court of.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
Appeals in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, recently heard oral arguments for a
lawsuit alleging that MRKED, the drug company, fraudulently marketed all
these decades MMR, the measles, mump and rebella vaccines that
we have trusted them to give to our children, not mine.
Of course, I have six that have not had any
vaccines whatsoever, not bragging or complaining. For decades, the medical

(28:22):
community insisted vaccines are the most thoroughly studied pharmaceutical product
in history of medicine. However, there are no federally funded
studies comparing vaccinated populations against unvaccinated populations because scientists believe
it is unethical to withhold these life saving vaccines from children.
The proper double blind saline placebo controlled studies do not

(28:45):
take place because of a long standing bias that the
vaccines are necessary for human life and should not be
withheld from children. This supposition disregards historical evidence of populations
that were never subjected to these products, but did, however,
develop natural immunity to various infectious diseases. The Amish and

(29:11):
other groups could easily have been studied, but of course
they're not going to study them because they're going to
find the answer to this, and that is that natural
immunity is where you go. For most of the population.
Natural immunization meaning you get the momps, you get the measles,
you get the chicken pox. I got them growing up.

(29:32):
Many of you may have if you're old enough. But
now we're finding out about the fraudulent activity that these
drug companies have been foistering over the public all these years,
mirk being it. Now they're finally being sued in the
and we're exposing them. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is
why it qualified as the health outrage of the week.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
I'm doctor Bob Martin, s.

Speaker 4 (30:05):
So good.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
I'm a bush of number.

Speaker 7 (30:15):
Simon, the one never single, I'm most today.

Speaker 3 (30:31):
It's the Doctor Bob Martin Show. I'm doctor Bob. Thank
you for tuning into the program.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
And if you like what you hear, tell others about
this show so they too can hear something a little
bit different. Whether it's entertainment you're after or just truth,
We're here for you. We'll now move on to the
product recall of the week. The company Bissle Biscle recalls

(30:57):
three point two million handheld steamer cleaners across the United
States over a burn hazard. The Consumer Product Safety Commission
said that the three nine N seven and two nine
nine four series of the Bissle products have been affected

(31:19):
in the recall. They expel hot water or steam onto
users while heating or during use, which can cause burns.
Owners are affected by this should avoid the products and
get them back to where you purchase them for a refund.

Speaker 3 (31:38):
That would be the key.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
So if you purchase one of the Bissle handheld steamers,
get them back, get a credit, get a refund.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
You can go to.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Bissel b I, S S e l L dot com,
Forward slash steam Teams hot recall to learn more about it.
I guess there are a lot of them out there
floating around that could potentially cause skin damage by burning you.

(32:13):
Should you be a part of the problem. Don't be
part of the problem. That's the product recall of the week,
and we move right from the product recall the week
to the top ten cities with the best quality of life?
All right, So, which US cities are setting the gold

(32:35):
standard for quality of life? Well? Researchers compared five hundred
of the biggest US cities based on sixteen categories. They
considered life expectancy, unemployment rates, state ranking of workers' rights,
and food security among fifty three total metrics in order

(32:57):
to get the top ten cities in the US for
the best quality of life. See to see if the
city you're living in right now is one of the
top ten cities to live in for the best quality
of life. Here we go, Castle Rock, Colorado, number ten
on the list, Irvine, California, number nine, San Ramon, California,
number eight, coming in at number seven of the top

And you're living in.

A beautiful on the beautiful island, a big island of
Hawaii in Ocean Side. I'm familiar with it, been ta Kona,
Hawaii a lot.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
Now.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
One thing that people who have alcohol addiction need to
do is get rid of other addictions that can trigger
them back into their alcohol addiction. So if you're using
tobacco and caffeine and lots of sugar, those have got
to be eliminated. You've got to get your body's balanced back,
You've got to get your blood sugar balance back, so
you can't be on these substances that can mess your

(35:46):
blood sugar up and cause you to be on a
roller coaster ride all the day. Avoid coffee, caffeine, tobacco,
and anything that's highly refined processed foods. Eat whole foods,
eat frequently.

Speaker 3 (35:59):
That's the key.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
Now there's also a root that you may want to take.
It's almost like antibuse, except it's natural and it's safe.
You can get it right in the health food stores
down to Earth wherever they're in the state of Hawaii.
Kudzu root is the name of it Island Natural, by
the way, is the name of the health food store
there in Kona Island. Natural Island Natural, they'll have cudzoo root.

(36:23):
Kud Zu root be complex should be consumed by people
who have alcohol problems. They most people who are alcoholics
have low blood suger hypoglascemia, by the way, and you
should be outdoors exercising, oh, you know frequently. There happens
to be a doctor there too that you might want

(36:43):
to consult, Doctor Michael Traub who's there in Kona who
can deal with this as well, Doctor Michael Trump.

Speaker 3 (36:50):

Speaker 2 (37:40):
That number into the program, just like the previous caller,
Michael calling in from Ocean side HAWAIII on the Big
Island of Hawaii. He called in and so can you
with your health question. Our number eight hundred six zero
six eighty eight twenty two. Eight hundred six zero six

(38:01):
eighty eight twenty two is the caller hotline for health
related questions or health related comments. Oh gosh, the time
has just gotten away for I wanted to do more
today on the show. We had more content, But there's
always next week. For sure, we'll have the things that
we missed maybe and lots more phone calls next week
as well. But let's get to this week's installment of

(38:24):
the health Mystery of the Week, What's the last time
you blushed? Did you know that blushing is a gut reaction?
It's true. A new study may have helped teenagers reach
new levels of mortification, as it required them to sing

(38:49):
karaoke and then watch the video back. And you know
how embarrassed teenagers can be or get we have all
been there. As part of the research into the origins
of blushing, forty sixteen to twenty year olds first took
a part in the karaoke session. Participants sang four songs

(39:09):
Hello by Adele, Let's Let It Go from Frozen, All
I Want for Christmas Is by Mariah Carey, and All
Things She Said by tATu all right. So these songs
were chosen because several music experts judged these songs to

(39:31):
be very difficult to sing, ensuring that the participants would
be embarrassed watching themselves singing them. As they were shown
the videos of themselves and others singing their cheeks, their
cheek temperature was an indicator of blushing, and the brain
activity were measured. The results revealed that blushing was stronger
when participants watched themselves sing. What's more, brain activities suggested

(39:57):
this was linked to heightened self awareness, rather than worrying
about what others thought of them. Writing in the journal
Proceedings of the Royal Society be the team found that
Darwin proposed that blushing, the reddening of the face owing
to heightened self awareness, is the most human of all expressions,

(40:18):
yet relatively little is known about the underlying mechanisms of blushing.
The results show that blushing is higher when watching oneself
versus others seeing.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
These results are.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
In line with recent proposals suggesting that blushing may trigger
a surge of alertness when socially exposed.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
That's the health mystery of the week. I'm doctor Bob Martin.
