  Speaker 1: All right, let's uh, let's get Staveusic going here and
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: then we can get Elena on the phone. Yeah. Do
• 0:07

• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Hi, how you do it?
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: It's Elena Wood from Nightingale College. H Well, I mean
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: that's not where you were born.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: No, No, I was not born and raised at Nightingale College.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately you spend a lot of time there.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: I surely do. Yeah four years now.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Really, so what do we want to talk about today?
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: It's physical health?
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, physical health? Yeah? Well have I really these are
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: really some of the basics. And so I'll say these
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: and you'll probably think I've heard these all before. They're
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: worth repeating, I think. Okay, So the first point is
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: to move your body. And this doesn't have to be
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: doing huge races and powerlifting and all of that. Simple
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: movements like going on walks, stretching, maybe taking up pickleball
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: since everybody's doing it anyway, just anything to get some
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: movement in through the day.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: I like that. It doesn't have to be something big,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: it can be something small. I go from here to
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: my desk every day. I go from my desk to
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: my car every day. Pretty good and.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Do you park your car kind of kind of far away.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: As close as I can get it. I know, as
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: close as I can get it. As a matter of fact,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I try. I try to pull it right up to
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: the elevator, so when the elevator tore open the building, Yeah,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: that's the best. But it is important to do that.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: If if your motion is limited, that becomes starts becoming
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: your mobility. Your mobility is yeah, this is limited. That
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: starts to really cut into it for sure. And I'm
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: speaking from personal experience.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the more we move in healthy ways, of course,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: the more likely we are to be able to maintain
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: that ability to keep moving, of course, barring accidents and
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: injury things like that.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: But now muscle is important as well.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Right, yes, yeah, as we age, and this starts as
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: young as age thirty, so like for me, it's already
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: begun in my life. We start to lose muscle mass
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: each and every year, and one of the best ways
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: to prevent this is by doing some strength training each week.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: And once again, this doesn't have to be Olympic lifting
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: and just you know, wild stuff. You can do body
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: weight exercises, you can do light dumbbells to start off.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: With so just as always, kind of start where you
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: are and build from there.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty much to the end of her days. My
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: mother in law lifted these little like two pounds or
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: three pound oh thumbbells. I think she did it every
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: day or every other day.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I love that. That's so great.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: What else do we have here?
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: The next recommendation is to eat a healthy diet.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Pieces of the six red vines I had for breakfast,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: but probably not. It's not good.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: There's not a lot of nutrients in there for sure,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: and one of the pieces of a healthy diet is variety,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: and so that that can be part of a healthy diet.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: The goal is to also get some more nutrient dense
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: foods fruits, vegetables, grains and seeds, protein of course, so
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: that will also help with your muscle masks. O. Next
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: is to build healthy habits. And this just kind of
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: goes into this idea of starting where you are and
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: picking something small that you can do each and every day.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: So if you've never exercised before, probably don't try and
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: run a marathon tomorrow, try something like going on a
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: short walk. If you've never had a vegetable in your life,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: maybe start by trying something pretty safe, like baby carrots
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: something like that.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a you know, I'm fortunate. I've always loved
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: almost all vegetables. I grew up my parents. My parents
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: always had us, and I don't recall ever having to
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: be forced to eat vegetables. I like them to eat.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: But some I don't know if kids have some aversion
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: to vegetables. To vegetables. Gina will eat potatoes. That's a vegetable, right.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: That is a vegetable. Yeah, all right, Happy birthday, Jis, congratulations,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: thank you.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: What else do we have here?
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: The next recommendation is to change your surroundings, so doing
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: things just to kind of increase your environmental wellness, me
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: cluttering and making sure there's not dust and mold and
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: things like that in your space, as well as making
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: the easy choice more accessible, so having your fruits and
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: vegetables at the very front of the refrigerator, having easy
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: access to your exercise clothes, things like that. That will
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: just help you to engage in those habits that you
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: want to do but are sometimes hard.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: To be proud of. Me, I have an apple with me.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: It's in my backpack and I'm going to eat it
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: right after I get off the air, red vines in
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: an apple. Okay, what else, let's see we've got what
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: is this set? A regularly scheduled visit, oh, to see
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: your doctor.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, with a primary care provider. And there's there's something
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: to be said for having kind of a consistent person
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: who knows your health history, who knows maybe even your
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: family history, so that way you don't have to go
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: in and recap over and over with every new doctor
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: you visit. And also just going in and getting that
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: annual physical, getting your regular seasonal vaccines, things like that.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Just really building and having that relationship with a primary
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: care provider can be really instrumental in maintaining good health.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: And if you manage to do all of these things,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: you'll probably live a much longer and healthier life, exactly
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: in any accidents, you know. Yeah, So if you want
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: to find out more about this kind of thing, Elena,
• 6:32
