The #1 Thing We’re Ignoring — And It’s Killing Us | Karel Cast 25-131
We talk about money, politics, and power — but the one thing that truly matters to every human being is being ignored: our health. 💔
In this episode of The Karel Cast, Karel breaks down why our daily priorities have shifted away from the most essential thing we have — our own well-being. From the food we eat to how we move (or don’t), we’re letting modern life destroy the very thing that keeps us alive.
Why do we put work, tech, and distractions ahead of our bodies and minds? How did health become optional? Let’s talk honestly about what needs to change — starting today.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Show time is here. No time to fear. Corilla is
so near because show time is here. So on with
the show. Let's give it a go. Corilla is the
one that you need to know now, is show tide.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
It is the thing that most people care about the
most when you're asking them. But if the thing that
receives almost the least of our attention, what is it?
We're gonna talk about it today. Plus no more aid
for Gaza already.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Really uncensored, unfiltered, un hinged.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
It's the corall cast.

Speaker 5 (00:52):
Listen daily on your favorite streaming service.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
It is the crowd Cast. I am carel so very
glad you are joining me on this. What is today? Wednesday?

Speaker 4 (01:05):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Oh, the fifteenth October is almost halfway gone, child, Oh
my god, I'll be sixty three in under three weeks,
Lord have mercy. Wait fifteenth, wait sixteen, sixteen plus seven
is what twenty? It's twenty three days, three weeks and
two days, and I'm sixty three, O, Lord of me.

(01:27):
Time keeps passing done? What's that song? Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping?
Nowadays it any only time that's slipping but my back,
my hip, my neck, my puss and my crack, I'll
love it. So glad you are joining me today, before
we begin with what I really want to talk about,
which is something we talk about a lot, but you
don't really, most of you don't do a lot about.

(01:48):
We're gonna talk about that. But I read a just
disturbing headline this morning. You know, Oh, Trump's big peace
and blah blah blah. Already they're restricting aid into God
because Israel doesn't feel it's releasing the dead people fast enough.
You heard me right, not the live people, the dead people.

(02:10):
Israel does not feel that Gazans or the Hamas is
releasing the dead people fast enough. So now let's withdraw aid,
because that's what you do when people are starving and thirsty.
You use food and water as a way to bend
them to your will. You know, it is like they
are capt what Israel does to the Palestinians. I watch

(02:33):
enough serial killer shows. It's what serial killers do to
their victims. When they keep them alive for a while,
they throw them in a basement, you know, a basement,
or put them in a cage or whatever, and whether
they eat or drink relies upon how the captive acts
and that's exactly what Israel is doing to the people
in Gaza. Oh well, if you eat or drink depends

(02:56):
on how Hamas acts people that have nothing else to
do with anything. The average Palestinian has nothing to do
with Gaza, or with the dead hostages or their return. Nothing,
nothing but to Neet Yahoo and to Israelis. You know, oh,

(03:18):
you're not giving us what we want, so we're gonna
cut off food already day one, This is day one
of the peace agreement, and they are already cutting off
food because they one of the dead people returned, wasn't
to prison, wasn't one of the captives, you know, after
all this time. I don't know how they would know
what They got bones over there, they got doctor Niki

(03:41):
Alexander from Silent Witness over there. I mean, what how
did they know a bag of bones and one of
the you know, so anyway, it's just it's it's so
alarming to me that a human, a human being, would
withhold food and water from a starving, thirsty human being

(04:01):
over some ridiculous shit like you haven't returned our dead people.
I mean that that to me, you know, is just yes,
our disc be slipping. Amen, Someone in the chatroom at
YouTube dot com forward selesh rely krill disc be slipping back,
be aching head bee throbin. I could do a whole

(04:27):
dance song about aging. But at least I have food, right,
at least my food is not reliant upon the whim
of Benjamin nettan Yahoo, who hasn't missed a meal in
some time. Okay, Now I realize all the the hostages
that release looked like they were on ozempic when they
were there. Isn't that funny? The hostages look like Hollywood stars? Now?

(04:49):
Isn't that something ozembic or captivity? Which? Which? Which is it?
Nowadays we can't tell were you held prisoners somewhere or
are you on ozempic? Because if you look at Ryan Seacrest,
he looks like he's been held prisoner for two years
and barely fed no offense. I mean I kind of
know him, but I mean look at him. He looks

(05:10):
as frail as some of the hostages. So using food
as a weapon, food and water, you know, I mean
using housing. You know, all parents do it. My house,
my rules. You want to live here, you follow my rules.
But they don't say I'm not going to feed or

(05:30):
water you. So not a fun, not a fun situation
going on there. Our government is still shut down here
in the United States. They're going after what they call
liberal or democratic programs now and gutting them. The head
of Project twenty twenty five. Just a sad, sad state

(05:52):
of affairs in the world, and in particular in the
United States. We are a sad nation, all right.

Speaker 5 (05:58):
When we come back visiting really Corell dot com daily,
you're missing out. Get the podcast videos and the blug
including recipes at really correll dot com. That's really ka
r e l dot com.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
Show Time is here. No time to fear. Corell is
so near because show time is here. So on with
the show. Let's give it a go. Corell is the
one that you need to know.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
I got some serious questions for you.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
Now.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Look, I know the demographic of my show. I know
I'm talking to very few people that are eighteen or
twenty or twenty five whatever. Okay, most of you listening
are over forty. I get it. That's fine. I'm over sixty,
so you can be over forty. Go ahead. Uh, ain't
nothing wrong with it. I wish I was forty again, lord,

(06:55):
but it would have been the early two thousandth Ah,
guess nineteen or two thousand and two. I was forty
years old, right, yes, two thousand and two. Oh, it
seems like a lifetime ago. Taco Bell has a commercial
out and they're like, oh, it's so retro, it's like
from the early two thousands. I wanted to fucking slap them.
It's like that, ain't that long ago? But someone said, yes,

(07:16):
it this is a quarter a century ago. I'm well,
Jesus age Christ. But anyway, as you all know, and
there's an article on the huff Post this morning that
completely pissed me off because it said the one lifestyle
change that makes you insufferable, and of course it's being
a vegan, because they say vegans just feel a need
to share it with everybody. You know, why do they

(07:38):
say shit like that? Why do they say shit like
vegans feel a need to push everything down people's throat,
or gay people feel the need to push their lifestyle
and everybody when the exact opposite is true, the exact opposite.
Straight people pushed their life and their lifestyle choices down
everybody's throat all day, every day, through every bit of media,

(08:03):
every bit of everything. Everything shows straight people shoving their
lifestyle down our throat, some of them shoving other things
down our throat because they're not as straight as they
claim to be. And then with vegans, oh, vegans push
their lifestyle. Really, so we're the ones that have ads
on TV, ad after ad after ad after ad for

(08:27):
this burger or that barbecue or this chicken, this or
this fish. So really, where are the ones pushing our agenda? Really?
When every restaurant menu is geared towards non vegans, But
where are the ones pushing our agenda? Yeah? Okay, okay, okay,

(08:47):
whatever you sail on a huff Post, I'll stop writing.
You know, I'll stopped writing for them when Arianna left
because they ain't been relevant since. But anyway, so, in
America we spend more on healthcare than any other nation,
and yet we have the worst outcomes of any other nation.
That's just a fact. You can like that or not

(09:08):
like it whatever, I don't care. It's fact. Also, there
are more prescription drug ads than there are almost any
other kind of ad on television or radio. And the
healthcare industry in this country, not the actual healthcare industry,
like you know Kaiser, who is now on strike. But

(09:30):
you know the supplement industry and all of that, honey,
it's a twelve billion dollar a year industry. Now, you
would think, with all the money we spend and all
the information we have, that we'd be the healthiest mofos around,

(09:52):
but we ain't. In fact, we're one of the sickest
nations in the world. And I wanted to talk to
you too day about health, maybe even every Wednesday, I
don't know, because it really is the most important issue
in our world, more than any politics, more than Donald Trump,
more than anything our health because the minute your health

(10:16):
goes awry, everything you're thinking about. Trust me. When I
was in the er or I'm sorry, the ICU in
April with my aphib I didn't think about Trump or
world news or anything like that. My friend David who
had not David Ethridge, a different David who had a

(10:37):
brain stem stroke, could have killed him, should have killed him.
But he is alive. He doesn't he doesn't want to talk,
you know, current issues. When Charlie Kirk got assassinated, he
had just been a month out from his stroke and
he didn't want to talk about it. This is the
guy that used to run talk radio and He didn't

(10:59):
want to talk about any topics other than kids and
family and health and how lucky he was to be alive.
When your health is challenged, everything else goes out the window,
but not before. And that's where we have it backwards.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
You know.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
I get criticized a lot well, for a lot of things,
mainly my lisp and my neck wobble, but other than that,
other things too. And one of the things that people
take issue with is when I come down on my
friends for not spending enough time on their health, and

(11:40):
I always have to remind them, how long do you
spend it work? Now, for those of you out there
listening to me that still work, how long or even
if you don't, you can remember how long did you
spend it work? Eight to ten hours a day? Right?
And why why did you spend eight to ten hours

(12:03):
a day at work? We're going to say, first of all,
to be paid, to have money. Okay, what was that
money for? Your next thing you're going to say is food, clothing, housing.
So you would think that food, clothing, housing would get

(12:25):
the most of your attention because those are the basic
things that you're working for. But the truth is those
things often get the least of your attention. For instance,
how much time each day do you spend cooking and

(12:46):
preparing food, not just the act of cooking, but like
for me, I'm going to share with you my seven
day diet. For me, yesterday was spent making brown rice,
making lentils, making quen wha. You know, I had to
because I need all these things over the next three
four days for recipes that I have. So I had

(13:09):
to pre make a batch of lentils. I had to
pre make brown rice, I had to pre make quen
wa so I have those available to me to use
in recipes. I have to make nut milk a couple
three times a week, soy milk, nut milk, cashew milk,
almond milk to I don't make my creamer anymore, but

(13:30):
I do make the homemade nut milk using the meal mat.
How many of you have a home nut milk maker
or a blender? How many of you would even know
how to do it? So you see what I'm saying.
We spend the least time cooking of any culture. And

(13:50):
most of you do not spend an hour to two
hours a day preparing meals I do. Most of you
don't spend an hour and a half to two hours
a day exercising. I do. Most of you don't know

(14:11):
about your body and your labs and what they all
mean when you see these numbers. I do, And so
as I think about health in America, I think about
our first problem is we spend a lot of time
thinking about it. We spend a lot of time legislating it.
We spend a lot of time talking about it. Healthcare

(14:34):
premiums are why the government is shut down right now. Okay,
so don't tell me that this topic isn't important. We
have shut down the entire government because Democrats don't want
your health insurance premiums to triple. But here's the deal.
If Democrats spend more time on you being healthy in

(14:54):
the first place, you wouldn't have to worry about healthcare
premiums because you wouldn't be seeing so many doctors, says
the guy who sees more doctors, although I'm seeing less
and less of them these days, I really am. So
today I wanted to talk a little about health and
see if we could inspire you to spend more time
on it, you know, and see what's going on now.

(15:21):
I know, James Shabel and the thing he said, Beyond
Meat did a recent stock swap and shares of crashed.
Beyond Meat is not a health food, Okay, Beyond Meat
is a crutch to get all of you whiners off
of meat. I have a pound of it de thought
in my refrigerator and I seriously don't know what I'm
gonna do with it. I thought I wanted a burger,

(15:42):
but I don't eat beyond meat, and I'm not there
Beyond meat. Their target market is not vegans. Vegans do
not eat beyond meat, not many of us, not hardly
any that I know. And when I go to vegan restaurants,
there's only two restaurants I know that even have it
on the menu. Chef Kenny has a rare steak role

(16:02):
that he does with Beyond Meat, and Down to Earth
here in Las Vegas has a smash burger that they
do with Beyond Meat. But that's it. That's the only
two restaurants I know that even serve it. Beyond Meat
was meant to be a product to get meat eaters
to eat less meat, not for vegans. It's a nice

(16:23):
plus for a vegan, and that's their problem. They didn't
know who they were marketing to. They thought, oh, well,
market to vegans and that no, they should have been
marketing to people who eat hamburger, period and a story.
That's it. That's their market, not vegans. People who eat hamburger.
That's their market. But they they didn't ask me. I'm

(16:43):
not on their board. So I wanted to, first of all,
ask you a question, and I want you to be
honest about it. How many how how do I say this?
How many minutes a day? I would say hours, but
maybe it's just minutes. How long each day do you
spend cooking and eating? Okay, cooking and eating? How much

(17:10):
time per day? Because in the morning, I get up
and I have my oat groats and which has crasins
and walnuts in it. I have, Oh, I eat protein powder,
and now this new report about the lead in protein powders,
I'm gonna have to stop eating it. The one I take,

(17:30):
the one I eat. They only recommend three servings a week.
I have serving and a half a day. So I
got a xnay on the protein powder. Ay, But anyway,
how much per day do you spend cooking and eating?

(17:51):
You know a lot of people have half hour lunches
at work. That's that should be illegal for proper digestion.
You shouldn't. I mean a half hour lunch. By the
time you get your lunch, eat your lunch whatever, I mean,
it should be much much, much much long, at least
an hour. You should be able to sit and you know,

(18:11):
enjoy your lunch. Eating is not just about refueling. So
how long per day? So let's see, I spend a
half hour prepping breakfast, another half hour eating it. But
remember I'm prepping for two. I'm prepping Forember, and I'm
prepping for me because I prep her food. You know,

(18:34):
in the morning she gets an ounce of venison and bison,
an ounce of mixed vegetables, and an ounce of quenewa,
and then she gets that again in the evening and
it's raw. So I put hot water from my Zojerieshi
hot water dispenser in it, and that sort of cooks.
It doesn't cook it all the way. But you know,

(18:55):
so I've got that, I have to prepare her kibble
with her fish oil and her thistle, her milk thistle,
and her what else, fish oil and milk thistle. That's
it for her and her kibble. Oh yeah, and I
said fish oil so I'm preparing for two so preparing
even though I prepped the night before. My fruit cups
are already portioned out. The oatmeal is already in the

(19:18):
refrigerator in a bowl with the walnuts. And see do
you do that? Do you prep your breakfast the night before?
As much as you can.

Speaker 4 (19:27):
Do you?

Speaker 2 (19:28):
I do every day before I cook dinner, I do
two fruit cups, put them in the refrigerator a bowl
with my oatmeal that's already pre cooked in there with
the walnuts and the crasins. I portion up the soy
milk that I'm gonna put over the oatmeal. I do
the protein powder scoop and put it next to the blender. Yes,

(19:50):
then for lunch, at eleven thirty, I start to cook,
and by twelve we eat, and we're done by twelve thirty.
So an hour for lunch and then another thirty forty
five minutes for dinner. Only because I have to prep
for dinner, I usually just have a fruit cup and
some soup or whatever. So what is that one hour
two hour? I spend about two and a half hours
a day to three hours a day prepping food and

(20:12):
eating food. And if you don't have that time to
do that, then your life is scheduled wrong because eating,
outside of breathing, eating is the most important thing you do, period,
more important than work. You can live without going to work.
You cannot live without eating. You can live without many

(20:37):
many things that you do, but you can't live without
eating at all. Period. End of story. So eating and
breathing most important things you do. How much time do
you devote to that? Do you plan a weekly menu?
I'd like to know I do, and I'm going to
read it to you. Do you plan a weekly menu?

(20:58):
There are apps that will do it for you. They'll
generate shopping list for you. You can now use chat GPT
and tell them what kind of diet you want and
how many calories you want, and it'll just spit it out.
Do you plan? Okay? Do you plan a weekly men?
Do you know what you're having for lunch today, tomorrow,
the next? How often do you eat out? We're talking help.

(21:24):
When we come back, I'm going to read some of
your comments in the chat room and tell you what's
my week hoot.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
No is show.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
So here we have a seven day vegan nineteen hundred
calorie a day meal plan and it incorporates already what
I eat for breakfast. So for instance, today for lunch,
we're having a lentil and quen Wa power bowl. It's
five hundred calories. It's one cup of cooked lentils, great protein,
better than beef, half a cup cooked quene wa, one

(22:21):
cup chopped spinach, cucumbered tomato, one tablespoon olive oil, juice
of half a lemon, salt and pepper, and that's gonna
be my lunch. For dinner, we're having a tofu stir
fry with brown rice. We're gonna have half a block
of firm tofu, two cups of veggies which are broccoli,
bell pepper, carrots, and snap peas, one cup cooked brown rice,

(22:43):
one teaspoon of sesame oil, a teaspoon of soy sauce,
garlic ginger, and we're gonna make that tomorrow. Lunch is
a Mediterranean rap which has a whole grain wrap, which
I make from scratch, because everything's better from scratch. And
have you notice it, like spinach wraps in the store
are seven dollars a package, So yeah, no, so Mediterranean

(23:05):
wrap with three tablespoons of hummus, a half avocados, spinach, tomato, cucumber,
olive oil, pepper. For dinner is chickpea curry Tomorrow night
with one cup of chick peas and coconut milk, two
cups of veggies, curry powder, turmeric, chili all of that.

Speaker 4 (23:24):
Day.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
Three queno Wa bean salad for lunch, which has three
quarter cup cooke quene wa white beans, Avocado tahini which
is sesame paste for those of you that don't know,
maple syrups, and salt pepper parsley. Dinner that day is
tempe and broccoli soba noodles. I make my own soba noodles.
Four ounce of tempe, one cook, one cup cook noodles,

(23:47):
one cup broccoli, sesame oil all of that day. Four
spicy black bean soup which just sounds delicious. It's got
olive oil, onions, garlic, carrot, celery, red bell pepper, black beans,
two cups veggie, both broth, cumin, paprika which has just
ground up red peppers in case you didn't know, quarter

(24:08):
teaspoon chili. Dinner will be a sweet potato and kale
bowl which sweet potatoes are so good for you. The
next day, avocado toast for lunch. I'll modify that. I
don't do the avocado toast, but I'll modify it. And
then a Tai tofu bowl for dinner, and then day
six edammy and rice bowl. Edimmy is just choked with protein.

(24:29):
It's soybean, baby soybean. And then for dinner a lentil
loaf and a salad, and then day seven a vegan
taco bowl and then pasta with tofu and tomato. So
that is my next week of food, lunch and dinner
right there, all mapped out, already done, all the shopping.
It printed a shopping list for me. It'll even send

(24:50):
your shopping list to instacart so you can have Smith
or Kroger or whoever deliver if you want, or you
can order pickup. So yeah, it's quite thing. Why aren't
you planning your meals? And really they have to be scheduled.
Do you know we have found out for health purposes
it's not just what you eat, but when I also

(25:12):
eat two cups of fruit every day, every day, two cups,
two eight ounce bowls of fruit. And it's not one
kind of fruit. It's always mixed up. It's a melon,
it's banana, it's kiwi. I love Kiwi, all kinds of fruit.
Pick your favorite fruits. Two cups every day, every day,
every day, and I make and I'm regimented about it.

(25:35):
I make sure that I get two cups of fruit.
As for water, I have four thirty two ounce glass caraffes.
I fill them up every night and the next day
empty them out, two before noon, two between noon and
eight pm. And that way I drink a gallon of
water plus my afternoon and morning tea. Do you portion

(25:56):
out your water? You should be drinking about a gallon
a day now. If my perfection sounds just over the
top to you, it's not. That's what every human should
be doing, and it's what every human used to do
before the modern age. There was someone at home who
cooked three meals a day, who prepared the food, gathered

(26:18):
the food, went out to the field, and got the food.
Eating is the most important thing you can do for health,
above anything else. But wait, there's more. So I just
asked you, and I'd love to see your comments down below.
How long each day do you spend cooking? Most of

(26:38):
you are saying about an hour. It should be a
little higher than that because you shouldn't be buying pre
made food. Don't buy tortillas. Make tortillas. You realize it's
just salt, flour and water. Don't buy bread, make bread.
Do you not have a sour dough starter going? Why not?
And don't tell me you don't have the time. The

(26:59):
most important in your life is eating. If you don't
have the time to eat, you're in the wrong job.
If you don't have the time to eat, your life
is in the wrong direction, because it's the most important
thing to health. And that's my point. The reason we
are flooding the healthcare system is because we're not teaching

(27:19):
our children and our adults that eating proper amounts of
food at proper intervals during the day is the most
important thing you can do for health. Instead, people go
on these crazes that they see on TikTok. Oh I
need to eat like and I'm seeing them out of
protein today. I read it on TikTok. No you don't. Oh,

(27:42):
I've got to take fourteen supplements a day. No, you
do not. I take a multi vitamin in the morning.
In the afternoon, I take vitamin D, calcium and magnesium
and that's it. That's it. A multivitamin in the morning
along with the garlic capsule and two fish oils where

(28:04):
they're algae oil, not fish. I take two algae oils
in the morning with a multivitamin and a garlic capsule,
and then in the afternoon I take calcium, magnesium and
vitamin D. And that was designed by chat GPT who
I fed what I was eating into and what my
multi vitamin had in it, and it said this is

(28:24):
all you need to supplement These people that are like, oh,
you got to take twenty three supplements, so you gotta
take peptides, and you gotta take collagen, and you gotta
take this, and you no, you don't. You have to
eat better food. You should not be supplementing. You should
be getting it from food sources. The problem is most

(28:46):
of you don't know where all these vitamins and minerals
come from. If you're lacking an iron, eat more green leafies, spinach, kale,
all of that. You know. So food is medicine. And
so in the next half hour we're going to talk
some health stories. Did you know this morning scientists have

(29:06):
revealed that in mice they have found a way to
clear out the amyloid bodies in the brain that cause Alzheimer's.
That's incredible. Did you know that there is a spider
venom that they are developing in Australia that can stop
cell death related to stroke. So if first responders have
it and they give it to you as you after

(29:27):
you've had a stroke, within three hours, it reverses the
damage of the stroke and you don't get the paralysis,
you don't get the loss of function, and it comes
spider venom. To be aware of that, I bet there's
a lot of health stories you're not aware of, because
while health is the number one thing, everybody's.

so near because show Time is here, So on with
the show. Let's give it a go. Corilla is the
one that you need to know. Now, it's show time.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
Yep. The excuses they're pouring in in the chat room, Well,
if someone else to work eight hours and do a
two hour commute they don't have time for this, then
then you're in the wrong job. Your job on this
planet is to be healthy and.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
Eat uncensored, unfiltered un hinged.

Speaker 4 (30:50):
It's the Corral Cast.

Speaker 5 (30:52):
Listen daily on your favorite streaming service.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
Okay, someone just said something in the chat room that
pisses me off beyond belief. If you've got to work
eight hours a day and you've got to commute for
two hours of those days, and then you've got another
hour that you have to exercise, how are you gonna
fit food in? What the fuck are you working for?
Then you really want to be a sick shell of

(31:23):
a human being giving your entire life to corporate America
until you become old and broken and have to deal
with the healthcare system through your senior years because you
didn't pay attention to your health when you were young.
Excuses are like assholes. Everyone's got one, some aer bigger
than others. And I know you all think it's not realistic, Corel.

(31:48):
Not in the world we've created. Do you see the problem?
We have created a world that does not want humans
to be healthy. Nothing about the world in which we live.
Once you to survive, the news is so fucking bad
for your mental health. Social media is horrible for your

(32:10):
mental health and your physical well being, and yet we
just line up to do it. Ooh gotta get on,
gotta get on to social media, Gotta look at my phone.
I might miss something. Oh my goodness, Yeah, we have
a fucking problem. That's why I'm doing my topic today,
to make you realize it's all set up wrong. The biggest,

(32:33):
biggest priority of your life is your health. Not the
health of the company you work for, not the health
of your four oh one k, not the health of
your bank account, not that Your health. That's the most
important thing in your world, period, end of story. There
is no debate there. Your health is the most important

(32:59):
thing in your life. If it's not, you're living the
wrong life. Now you can tell me I don't have
the time, Corel. I don't even have the time to
barely fit in food. Then you're living the wrong life.
It's just that simple. You don't have to live the

(33:20):
life that everyone tells you to live. You have to
live the life you know. You can't worry about living
a long time until you're after sixty. So many old
people sixty sixty five, suddenly they turn vegan. Suddenly they
start exercising when they should have been doing it since
their thirties. It took me until I was fifty five

(33:44):
years old fifty, no younger than that. I moved here
at fifty five, two years fifty three. It took me
until I was fifty three years old to quit opiates
and become a vegan. Yep, almost ten years now. And
that's when I realized that I had been doing it
all wrong for fifty three years, because no one taught me.

(34:07):
No one told me that work wasn't the most important
thing in my world, that money wasn't the most important
thing in my world, that those two things, work and
money were actually in my world to help me pay
for my health. That my health and health means having

(34:27):
a stable place to live, by the way, that goes
to health. That's why I believe that housing is a right,
because you cannot be a healthy life liberty pursuit of happiness.
You can't be a healthy human if you don't have
a place to live and a place to cook your food.
So housing goes to health. But this notion that you're

(34:51):
so busy worrying about the health of your company, or
the health of this or the health of your bank
account of that while your health suffers is how we've
gotten it wrong, and why the healthcare industry is the
number one industry in the United States, because that's not
an accident. They make you sick. Work makes you sick. Television, politics,

(35:15):
the news makes you sick. How much time do you
spend a day exercises? Put it down below. How much
time I do this morning? I'll give you a saple
of my morning this morning thanks to Apple Fitness Plus
on Apple TV. This morning, after our oatmeal and fruit

(35:35):
and all of that, we come in the TV room,
which is my studio, and we do thirty minute We
ever sleeps, but I do thirty minutes of either weights
or yoga or both. This morning I did forty five
minutes of yoga with Jessica. It was lovely. Lots of
Warrior threes, my balance of cyber and so forty five

(35:57):
minutes of yoga.

Speaker 5 (36:00):
Visiting really cariill dot com daily you're missing out. Get
the podcast videos in the blug including recipes at really
Correll dot com. That's really ka r e l dot com.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
Show Time is here. No time to fear. Corrill is
so near because show time is here. So on with
the show. Let's give it a go. Carell is the
one that you need to know.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
Oh, I'm typing away, I'm typing away. So someone in
the chat room said, I have to agree with Ray.
It depends on each individual. As a single mom and
two kids, I had to work a job that provided
health benefits. With that came an eight hour day and
a commute and attending the kids' activities. Granted a divorce

(36:53):
was the tipping point, but there needs to be compassion
for people who have time limited daily. I want you
ask that person and how did your health turn out?
How did you as you aged? Did you age completely
healthy or did you end up having problems? And the
answer probably is I ended up having problems? Why because

(37:13):
you ignored your health? I mean, I sympathize with someone
that you know. I'm you all think that you know
that my entire life, I've had all day every day
to just lounge about in the kfive days we had
fourteen hour days. We had a ninety minute commute each way,

(37:34):
that's three hours. We had eight hours at the station
that's eleven hours, and then another three hours at home
doing prep. And I had to go out and do
man in the streets. And yet Andrew still insisted that
we have a breakfast, a lunch, and a dinner every day.
We had to take time out to do those three things.
We had to They had to be scheduled in because

(37:58):
Andrew had HIV and had he had things he had
to do, and he had medications he had to take,
and they had to be taken with food. And so, yeah,
there's a million reasons why you can't be healthy, Absolutely
there are. But it makes you die early, it makes

(38:19):
you not have a healthy retirement, and so yes, I
have sympathy for these people. I of course I do.
But if you can't fit in breakfast, lunch, and dinner
and some sort of exercise, then your life is wrong.

(38:40):
You know. You gotta find a way in your eight
hour day at work to fit in the proper food.
You gotta find a way to exercise, maybe during your commute,
I don't know, bring weights in the car, you know,
whatever it might be. You have to find a way.
That's what That's what drives me crazy. I can't believe this,

(39:01):
but it's such a sticking point with me that people
always give me reasons why they can't eat right and
exercise and they think those reasons are valid. They're not valid.
I'm sorry they're not. Because your whole life is your
health period that's your whole life. If you're not healthy

(39:23):
enough to go to work, what's going to happen? And
many people work sick. You've worked sick. Many people work
with cancer, Many people work with all kinds of things
because they've got to get up and go to work
and they're sick. During COVID people went to work sick.
Can you imagine having to work when you're sick. What

(39:44):
kind of system have we set up where people actually
have to work when they're sick. I'm not saying you're wrong.
I'm saying the system is wrong, that the system's priorities
are out of whack, because the systems priorities are for
you to give everything you have to the system. That's

(40:06):
the priority of the system. Billionaires their healthy as fuck.
The people that run your company, they got time for breakfast, lunch,
and dinner. They got time to exercise. They put in
gyms at their house, they put in gyms in their office.
They got the time. You, the worker, be you ain't
got the time, but you got to make the time.

(40:31):
You've got to take time for the most important thing
in the world, your health. After we do yoga here
this morning was forty five minutes we went off to
the park, and that's a one hour, two and a
half mile walk that includes running up and down the hills.
So by right now, at ten forty in the morning,

(40:53):
I have already eaten a hearty breakfast and exercised for
one hour and forty five minutes. I will cook lunch
from eleven thirty to twelve, then I will do my afternoon.
Then at four point thirty I will prepare dinner and breakfast,
and then at seven o'clock tonight we will walk another mile,
which takes another thirty minutes, making my total exercise for

(41:16):
today two hours and fifteen minutes, and making my food
time about three hours. That's five and a half hours
out of twenty four. Let's go at five. That leaves
nineteen hours. Let's go with seven for sleeping. That still
leaves twelve hours. So do you see what I'm saying?

(41:38):
There really is time in the day to do it all.
There really is. Let's say you're like me and you
exercise two hours a day on average with walking and
all of that, and you spend conservatively two hours on food.
That's four hours out of twenty four. Add in seven

(41:59):
for sleeping, that's eleven hours that leaves thirteen hours. If
you give eight to work, that still leaves five. If
your commuter is two, that still leaves three. It's you
have the time. You just got to make it, and

(42:20):
you got to make your health a priority before it
becomes a problem. As I said at the beginning of
the show, when your health becomes a problem, it suddenly
becomes a priority. Everything gets put on hold. But you've
got to make it a priority before it becomes a priority.
And you've got to make it a priority so it
doesn't become a priority. Because every day there's great advances

(42:44):
in healthcare. One of my favorite things to do is
read the healthcare stories in my news aggregator because there's
so many wonderful things happening in healthcare to help you
be healthier. There's just so much. Now, Yeah, there's a
lot of dangerous things in New York. There is this

(43:04):
mosquito born chickagunga disease, which we haven't seen here, but
now we have it. We're losing the war against drug
resistant infections faster than we can come up with new antibiotics.
That's bad. We have the measles outbreaks happening everywhere. That's bad.

Speaker 4 (43:24):
You know.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
Oh, zempic changes how our bodies handle booth. I don't
know if that's good or bad. Who knows? The zombie
deer disease is happening. Oh God, better not give them
by anymore venison. Don't need her to be a you know,
a zombie. Here's something really cool. They're targeting enzymes to
weaken cancer cells. They for prostate cancer, which Joe Biden's

(43:51):
undergoing treatment for. They are finding that if they weaken
these enzymes, it supercharges the cancer treatments. Really exciting. That's
very exciting. Almost seventy percent of US adults who would
be deemed obese based on the new definition. A new

(44:12):
definition of obesity means that seventy percent of the United
States is obese. Wow. The traditional definition of obesity is
a body mass index above thirty okay. In an effort
to tackle the issue, in January, medical experts from around
the world called for a new definition to be adopted.

(44:35):
This would encompass people either with a BMI greater than
forty or those with a high BMI and at least
one raised figure for such as waste circumference, waste to
hip ratio. All of that obesity should be split into
two categories, clinic obesity where there are signs of illness,
and pre clinical obesity where they're not. Wow, that means

(44:57):
that seventy percent of America could be obese.

Speaker 4 (45:03):
You know.

Speaker 2 (45:04):
Part of this topic came up because I and I
want to hear what you have to say about this too.
And by the way, I love you. That's why I'm
doing this topic today. I love you. If I can,
if I can just spur you to be a little healthier,
I've then I've done a good thing. I can't change politics.
I can't change Trump. But what I can try to

(45:27):
change is the way you view your health and how
important you view it and how high you rank it
in terms of things you must do during the day.
So I was at the Indian restaurant the other day, Laziz,
the Pakistani Indian restaurant that has a great vegan menu,
and someone said, if you could eat one food like

(45:49):
one oh miscember, Oh goodness. Someone said, if you could
eat one cuisine like every day, not one particular food
like you know, peas, But if you could eat one
food cuisine every day, what would it be? And I
said Mediterranean? You know, because I love Indian food and

(46:11):
Pakistani and just all of that. So Mediterranean food. Basically,
if you could eat one cuisine of food every day,
she's not going to stop. By the way, If you
could eat one cuisine of food every day, what cuisine
would it be? What kind of food.

Speaker 4 (46:32):
It?

Speaker 2 (46:32):
Would it be? Mediterranean? Indian? Would it be Italian? And
I mean like real Italian? Would it be Japanese? Would
it be you know what? What kind of food would
you eat every day? Cuisine French? You know what? What
would you eat? And as we were having this discussion

(46:52):
at the restaurant, no one said American, And so I
asked the four people in the dining area that we
and the owner of the restaurant who was there talking
to me, if you had to list, like if you say,
if you ask me like Mediterranean or Indian food, you
know what dishes? I would say, Oh, alu sag china masala.

(47:17):
You know, I would give you a list of all
the you know, veggie barani. I'd give you a list.
If I asked you to the list American food, American cuisine.
So let's say someone says you have to eat American
cuisine every day, what dishes would you consider American? What

(47:40):
food dishes do you consider American food? I will tell
you in the restaurant, people had to think about it.
When I said, what kind of food? When you think
of Chinese food, you think of noodles, You think of
stir fries. You know, you think of things from the sea.
When you think of Japanese food, you think a lot

(48:00):
of things from the sea. You know, sushi, noodles, yakasobi,
stuff like that, ramen. So if you think of American food,
what are some of the dishes that you think of?
And everybody everybody said hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza, barbecued meats.

(48:29):
And I said, isn't it amazing? And as we see
this health story, we're seventy percent of us or obese.
I said, isn't it amazing that every American food you've
listed is a food? We should eat everything that you know.
You should not eat hamburger period, just end of story.
You shouldn't eat it, It's filthy, comes from one hundred cows.

(48:50):
Shouldn't need it, you know, hot dogs, processed meat, should
not eat it. Sandwiches like a Turkey club or whatever,
shouldn't eat process eats, pizza, pizza can be great if
you make it from scratch, your own sour dough, crust,
whole ingredients on top. No cheese, even vegan cheese, it's

(49:13):
too fatty. So American food is bad. There's like not
a lot of healthy American food. And so when you
think of the American diet, you just don't think of
good food. And that got me thinking about American health

(49:36):
that here we are in America, we have no real
cuisine of our own. All of our cuisine basically is
a bastardization of the immigrants that came here and brought
their food. I love Mexican food. My second favorite cuisine
is Mexican food, Indian food, mediterran you know that sort
of food, Mediterranean. But then my second is Mexican. I

(49:58):
love Mexican from all over Mexico. Real Mexican food, by
the way, not you know, burritos and tacos, although those
are fine, but real Mexican food. What about you when
you think of American food, what dishes do you think?
And are they healthy? Because most dishes are not. Most

(50:22):
American food dishes are not good for you. So calcium
supplements and dementia. Okay, we're all over supplementing. Can we
at least put that out there. A majority of Americans
are taking too many supplements. You don't need them. You

(50:45):
piss most of them out. Some are dangerous. If you
take too many, you don't know where they come from,
where they're sourced. And unless you have a special diet
like myself, you don't really need them. A multi vitamin,
you know that, and a little extra. If you're I'm
a vegan, so I supplement with calcium, magnesium and vitamin D.

(51:09):
That's it. That's it. But if you're a carnivore that
eats fruits and vegetables as well, you shouldn't need anything. Certainly,
don't eat more protein. Finish up when we come back.
What a fun show today, I've had fun today. Does
coffees Cot help America?

Speaker 1 (51:44):
No show side?

Speaker 4 (51:48):
Oh yeah, yes, you know.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
Rachel Kapper brings up a great point. When she thinks
of American dishes, she thinks of a huge breakfast with
sausage and pancakes and a lot of fat and sugar
and salt. She said, when she lived in the Middle East,
which I didn't know you did, Rachel. When she lived
in the Middle East, they had salad for breakfast. Do
you know in India they have it's kind of like

(52:22):
cream of wheat. It's delicious. It's called suji Suji Halawa.
I eat it. It's wonderful. It's vegan, believe or not.
They have that for breakfast with pory, which is a
deep fried bread. It's delicious. It's cornflour based and it's
deep fried. It's called pory. So they have suji holloa

(52:43):
and pory for breakfast. Many cultures have salads and other
things like that for breakfast. You know, I have oatmeal
because oatmeal is really good for you, but I have
oat gropes, which are unprocessed oatmeal. But I think we
all agree in the chat room that American, the American
foods that we think of as American, are not good.

(53:07):
They're not good for us. So my point of the
show today was to talk health, to try to get
you to dedicate more time of your day to cooking,
cooking whole foods, to making your own dishes. You don't
need to buy bread, you don't need to buy tortillas

(53:28):
or wraps. They're so easy. You can put oats from
like oatmeal, like rolled oats. You can put rolled oats
in a blender with some water, some baking powder, some spinach.
Wiz it up, you know, and make a rap out
of it. It's so easy, takes five minutes. It's you know,

(53:50):
it's not hard to do. So if I inspired you
today at all to spend a little more time cooking,
to pay a little more attention and hey, use chat
GPT if you need to. It is good for something today.
I'm going to try to get it to hone my
diet to where I don't have to use protein powder.

(54:12):
That report today that a majority of protein powders have
just too much lead. I don't need that, you know,
I can just eat tofu for breakfast along with my oatmeal.
I don't have to have, you know, the protein powder.
I mean it'll be the same calories, so you know,
I could have something other than the protein powder. So

(54:33):
I'm going have to find a way to get the
equivalent of three scoops of protein powder in protein every
day have it redo my diet. So yeah, so that's
you know, that's something that I'm going to do. So
I hope I've inspired you to be a little healthier.

(54:53):
Eight healthy foods that millennials eat that boomers call poverty meals?
What rice and beans? I love rice and beans. I
don't call that poverty. Leftovers for breakfast. Oh a lot
of people have that breakfast rice bowl. Lentil soup, that's
not poverty meal. I love making lentil soup. I made
some yesterday. It's so good. Avocado toast that's hardly. Cabbage

(55:16):
based meals, that's not poverty. I don't know what they're saying.
I love cabbage soup and cabbage steaks, and those are
all delicious. Yeah, this article is on crack. Yeah, you
boomers call that poverty food. I don't know why they
pick on boomers so much. We gave them everything that

(55:36):
they have now. I don't understand why they're so mad
at us. What else is in the health news? Let's
see if the consumer protein craze health based or a
food fat. It's not health based, it's not you don't need.
They're now saying they're everything's everything's either gluten free, you

(55:56):
ain't gluten intolerant. One percent of you are gluten intolerant
one percent. The rest of you have convinced yourself your
gluten intolerant and that you need more protein dieticians agree
this is the healthiest time to eat dinner. Five o'clock
between four thirty and five the best time to eat dinner,

(56:18):
according to science. I'll read you the article right now.
Two hours prior to bedtime, of course, a well four
hours prior to bedtime. So yeah, you should eat four
hours prior to your bedtime. So five pm. If you
go to bed at nine or ten, five to five thirty, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep,

(56:41):
pep yep, yep, yep, yep. And that's the way it is.
You got to eat around five or five thirty. The
if people who eat dinner eight o'clock at night go
to bed at nine, uh huh, no, that is just wrong.
You got to eat hours before bedtime. You have a
little snack though, I mean truly, you have a little
snack before you go to bed. You don't have to
like stop eating. I stop eating at seven o'clock. At

(57:03):
six o'clock, six o'clock, I stop eating no more food
after six o'clock. That's the other thing you can do
for yourself. Don't eat right up against bedtime. You can
have a little bit, have a date or some nuts
or whatever, but don't eat a meal within four hours
of bedtime. I hope I have helped you today with

(57:24):
inspiring you. Fried cabbage with onions, vinegar, salt, and pepper.
Sign me up. Oh that sounds so good. Fried cabbage
with onions, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Yes, lord, Oh that's
so good. Oh and there are vegan corn dogs. But remember,
just because something is vegan doesn't mean it's healthy. That's

(57:48):
the other myth. There's a myth out there that being
vegan is all you eat is healthy food. Oreos are vegan. Okay,
there's vegan donuts. I know, I get one every Sunday morning.
So not everything vegan is good. And there are many
vegan hot dogs and vegan corn dogs. They're still processed,
so have a lot of salt, so sparingly. Once a

(58:13):
month if you have a Beyond burger or a vegan
corn dog, fine, you know, fine, really once a week.
If you want a vegan donut, have one, just not
every day. And that's the other thing. You know, life
is a balance. You can eat healthy two thirds of
the time and one third of the time. Hey, you

(58:34):
know you're you're off your you're off your meds. But
just try to do good each meal, and if you
do bad, try to do meal, do well in the
next meal. If you have a wedding to go to,
or if you're at some special event and there's delicious food,
if you're at a five star restaurant, you're being served
all this incredible food, eat it the next day. Just

(58:58):
get back on track. Eating is not about like one meal.
Eating is a totality of everything that you do. So
if one meal you have pizza, oh well, I mean
really once a month if you want pizza, wid cheese,
vegan cheese, but still have it, but don't do it

(59:20):
every day, all right? I love you all. Thank you
for joining me in the chat room. Does coffee count?
That is very American? Fourteen dollars a pound? I am
Krelde who you want to be fed to hurt anybody?
Thank you all for joining me today and our talk
about health and fitness life. And really I hope and

(59:41):
help some of you try to eat a little better.
