Segment 1:

Today’s show is all about life and health advice for the next generation. Later this hour we have John Allcock joining us. He is the author of FORTY THINGS I WISH I’D TOLD MY KIDS: Mindful Messages About Success, Happiness, Leather, Pickles, and the Use and Misuse of Imagination. Let’s get started with things we wish we knew about health and about life when we were 18.

• What did our generation get right? Wrong?
• What do we see is the biggest challenges in life and health for the next generation?

MUSIC FOR DOC SHOCK (JIM)

THAT MUSIC MEANS IT’S TIME FOR DOC SHOC. A TIME WHEN WE FIND SOMETHING SHOCKING IN THE NEWS OR WE’RE SHOCKED IT MADE THE NEWS.

New research out of UT Southwestern Medical Center and Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas shows that middle age exercise can actually protect the heart from aging, reduce damage, and protect the heart from heart failure. Here’s what they found: you need to start the exercise before age 65 when the heart has the most ability to repair itself. The exercise needs to be four to five times a week for at least 30 minutes. Warm up and cool down is in addition to that 30 minutes. In the study they looked at 50 participants and divided them into two different groups. After two years, those that had exercised showed 18% improvement in oxygen intake during exercise and greater than 25% improvement in the left ventricular muscle of the heart. My advice, don’t put off exercise, start today for a healthier heart tomorrow.

Immortal Minute

Allcock has seen first-hand how mindfulness can transform our lives. As the co-founder of Sea Change Preparatory - a school that incorporates mindfulness into it’s curriculum - he has witnessed how this essential practice has helped students achieve the unthinkable. Continuing to break records in swimming, students at Sea Change Prep have learned to use mindfulness to overcome fear, dismiss limiting beliefs about their abilities, and achieve the goals that they set for themselves.

FORTY THINGS I WISH I’D TOLD MY KIDS was written to help adults and children alike achieve peace, self-acceptance, and self-realization.

• How to let go of the “I’ll be happy when…” fallacy
• How to identify the false narratives that prevent us from achieving our goals
• How to drop the mental habits that do not lead to genuine happiness
