| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr. |
| 0:07.7 | Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. |
| 0:12.3 | Now, I saw this study on push-ups in relationship to the group of people who can do more push-ups, |
| 0:28.5 | have less heart disease. It was a cohort study involving over 1,000 people, and they showed |
| 0:34.5 | a significant negative association between baseline push-up capacity and incidence in cardiovascular |
| 0:41.5 | disease risk for over 10 years. So, they compared participants who can do 40 or more push-ups |
| 0:48.7 | to people who can only do 10 or less push-ups. Now, personally, I don't think that being |
| 0:57.5 | able to do more push-ups will decrease your risk for heart attacks, but I think people |
| 1:03.6 | that can do more push-ups are more fit. Usually, they're more healthy, and just as a side note, |
| 1:09.8 | I'm very curious how many push-ups can you do put it in the comments down below. I want |
| 1:14.2 | to read that and check it out. What I am more interested in is how much of this study |
| 1:18.2 | cost and who pays for these studies, because what they should be studying, which is way more |
| 1:22.4 | important, is the causation of heart disease, since it's the number one killer. They should |
| 1:27.4 | be doing studies in the relationship between how cardiovascular disease starts. It starts |
| 1:32.9 | with inflammation in the inner lining of your arteries. The inflammation develops placking, |
| 1:39.4 | hardening of the arteries, and it starts to obstruct blood flow. Now, you also have clots |
| 1:44.0 | that can develop and cause heart attacks, which is slightly different, and those clots |
| 1:47.3 | can break off and go right into your brain and give you a stroke. So, the question is, |
| 1:51.7 | push-ups reduce inflammation, and the answer is, I don't think so. What does increase inflammation |
| 1:59.7 | is the chronic consumption of refined sugar. Now, by the way, when you consume sugar with vitamins, |
| 2:05.9 | the vitamins protect against inflammation, FYI. Not that I'm telling you to do that, but the fact |
| 2:11.7 | is that the majority of the population is consuming the refined sugars. They should study |
