1:20
because anything fancy you think Joe
1:23
Rogan just right what do you think
1:24
quality you think Joe Rogan when you
1:26
think health you might think of these 10
1:30
things
1:30
that's right Ruben so 10 ridiculous
1:33
health miss document redonk is but
1:37
science Ruben says they're actually true
1:39
ok let's get started let's get going now
1:42
Ruben when I was a baby when I was a
1:44
young child I was allergic to a lot of
1:46
food at her I don't know if you recall
1:48
this I've heard this before
1:49
ok it sounds familiar but yeah I don't
1:53
think you were born yet like literally I
1:55
was a toddler and yeah but I was
1:57
allergic to a lot of food and so I was
2:00
raised on for many months carrots and
2:04
watermelon Wow
2:05
it's interesting Ruben I have the best
2:08
eyesight in the family it's amazing ok I
2:11
was not raking carrots in watermelon
2:14
which by the way is my favorite African
2:16
food what's that carrots no watermelon
2:20
oh they have a lot there that's where
2:24
it's from I didn't know that really is
2:26
brought Oprah it was brought over by
2:27
slaves
2:28
well bless them because I love
2:30
watermelon this little tidbit I put out
2:33
there any time any bleak really no it
2:36
sounds like you're being offensive and
2:40
you're not you're literally saying
2:41
watermelons from Africa
2:43
yeah if you actually read about why we
2:45
don't know why watermelons back Africa
2:47
that's the fence apart right that's
2:50
maybe for a different episode yeah so
2:52
the ten best slave foods refused here's
2:58
okay
2:59
carrots ribbon do contain many compounds
3:02
that do improve the health of your eyes
3:04
including beta-carotene go figure it
3:07
helps the body make vitamin A which then
3:11
in turn helps your eyes to convert light
3:13
into signals understood by the brain I
3:15
used to think it helped your eyes be
3:18
whatever stronger the surface part of
3:20
the eyes but it actually it helps the
3:23
processing of sight to be better
3:25
converts the light into signals that the
3:29
brain can better understand so vitamin A
3:31
is what is directly responsible for your
3:34
ability to see in low-light deficiency
3:36
vitamin A it can lead to a degeneration
3:39
of the cornea that's the physical part
3:40
which may then cause permanent blindness
3:42
so get your vitamin A boys and girls yes
3:45
interesting
3:46
remembering the episode of Gilligan's
3:48
Island
3:49
no do I remember do you well I've seen
3:52
every episode I just don't recall which
3:55
how did Gilligan mess up the rescue this
3:58
one I think somehow they got some type
4:01
of like radioactive seeds there's like
4:04
that it's you're washed up on shore so I
4:06
don't know
4:07
they grew some food there some carrots
4:09
and they were like ginormous big carrots
4:11
and I think Gilligan ate the carrots and
4:15
he could see is oh there's a ship coming
4:17
you know binoculars don't we could see
4:20
anything we could see could see so far
4:21
but what good would that do that he
4:24
could see a ship so far away that they
4:26
can't signal the ship I don't think it
4:29
did any good mainly just more
4:31
frustration yeah it just adds to the
4:32
frustration uh-huh that's great Gilligan
4:35
you can see a ship a hundred nautical
4:37
miles away which then to disprove the
4:39
curvature of the earth yeah I just
4:43
googled it to send me first epic world
4:45
but radioactive carrots what I love
4:50
about the internet Rubin the Internet
4:52
doesn't make up this information
4:54
something provided
4:56
this information - I know somebody
4:58
kicked this out like that's what I love
4:59
about Google people have to understand
5:01
that when you google something it
5:03
doesn't automatically appear a human
5:06
being with their own brain had to input
5:09
that information so if the Google was up
5:11
for me and you to input information I
5:13
don't think I would ever gotten to the
5:15
Gilligan's Island synopsis anytime soon
5:17
for somebody but some low water yeah it
5:22
somebody took that time and probably
5:23
more than one person I'm impressed I
5:25
remember I probably have this in the
5:27
show and 30 years I just could never
5:30
figure out how the professor could make
5:32
a radio out of bamboo and Sam they
5:33
couldn't fix the hole in the boat number
5:39
nine eating just before sleeping
5:41
gives you nightmares so again these are
5:44
myths that are true so when we read the
5:45
headline it's already true and we'll
5:47
tell you how it is go ahead roof eating
5:49
late meal can be nightmares
5:51
sounds like inaccurate advice from that
5:54
one guy he knew many studies have found
5:56
a link between eating late and bad
5:58
dreams so we don't understand the exact
6:00
mechanisms behind why that is it might
6:03
be dude your metabolism being overly
6:06
active when we go to sleep immediately
6:07
after dinner which could make the brain
6:10
more restless a result in increased
6:12
activity it's not just when I eat but
6:15
what you eat also some food items are
6:17
especially good and do see nightmares
6:19
like Gary or spicy foods interesting
6:22
yeah I was prone to neighbors as a kid
6:24
like heavily prone I know so much
6:26
anymore is that oppa me this is I don't
6:28
snack before bed no we just had lost
6:31
spicy food growing up we never eat spicy
6:34
ever we did we never can you picture
6:37
that every eaten anything spicy I
6:39
remember the first time I had salsa it
6:42
blew my mind right much like our pal
6:45
milk experience we talked about one of
6:47
our episodes where we eat powdered milk
6:48
and we had you know normal 2% milk from
6:51
the the carton
6:52
as a kid he at a friend's house we
6:54
thought we were drinking the nectar of
6:56
yeah it was like I remember saying to my
6:59
friend how can you drink this is so
7:01
thick I thought I was drinking you know
7:02
flavored glue it was so thick
7:06
Wow so Reuben does your wife ever
7:09
complain about
7:09
being cold when my wife and I first
7:11
started dating she would mention that
7:13
she was cold and I could give her my
7:15
sweater or get a blanket or turn up the
7:18
heat in the car just kept on happening
7:21
every day every single I'm cold I'm cold
7:24
I'm like alright this seems to be that
7:26
could reincarnate in your life why don't
7:28
he just dress appropriately yeah cover
7:31
up thank you
7:32
my goodness anyway so yeah it happens
7:34
you're where if as well fact today in
7:37
the house we got the air conditioned on
7:38
the house here and it's working but it's
7:41
not cold but Becky is often in a blanket
7:44
in living room and I'm like it's 30
7:45
degrees outside how do you enjoy this
7:47
air but ribbon science has shown that
7:49
this isn't just girls being weak
7:52
researchers found that comfortable
7:55
temperature for a woman is about two and
7:56
a half degrees Celsius or four and a
7:58
half degrees Fahrenheit warmer than it
7:59
is for men so they'd like to be between
8:02
24 to 25 degrees Celsius and it's
8:04
because of the hormone estrogen which
8:06
slows down the flow of blood to the tips
8:09
of the toes and fingers during cold
8:10
months and that is also why ovulating
8:13
women tend to feel colder than usual
8:14
well I'll be sure to mention that you
8:17
must be awful lady yeah so now we can
8:19
ask when they're cranky and cold if we
8:24
have two opportunities honey are you
8:26
ovulating or are you just are you just
8:29
hungry or you just cold are you just I
8:32
will need that by the way I will use it
8:35
we know what's unfair life well yeah in
8:38
general but the thing is you and I
8:40
correct me if I'm wrong but men in
8:43
general we're not allowed to be grumpy
8:45
we have no reason I don't know if I'm
8:47
ever grumpy or having a bad day my wife
8:50
would like Ryan what's you know what's
8:51
your problem and I'm like I don't know
8:53
I'm just feeling lousy today I'm having
8:55
a bad day or whatever that's not a good
8:57
enough reason it's like well buck up and
8:58
man up but if a girl's blouse is because
9:01
she's honey I've been with the kids all
9:03
day or I'm it's that time a month or
9:05
they have legitimate reasons to be
9:07
feeling not positive men do not have
9:10
reasons to not feel positive just
9:12
throwing that out there
9:13
any of our listeners where I disagree
9:14
with me send send me a message sounds
9:17
like you understand it perfectly right
9:18
Reuben how smart are you enough that I
9:21
sometimes exercise
9:23
why-why-why exercise makes you smarter
9:25
do tell
9:26
sure if you look into some recent
9:29
research writing on the subject maybe if
9:31
he's are exercising you would you find
9:33
that that's not wrong exercising or this
9:36
is a protein called
9:37
Ireson which improves the neural
9:39
connections between different parts of
9:41
your brain as well as our memory and
9:44
tingling skills
9:45
moreover it also reduces the risk of
9:47
Alzheimer's and other types of dementia
9:49
I would talk a lot more about it but
9:52
just in case you have been exercising
9:55
you know that I'm an avid runner and I
9:57
do exercises but I appreciate that in
9:59
fact you have criticized me posting any
10:03
kind of fitness on my facebook I think
10:07
criticize you posting all I said is I
10:09
hide the runtastic where was called
10:14
posts that's very well not only do you
10:17
not need my permission to do whatever
10:18
you want on your Facebook that's fair I
10:19
understand happy for you well thank you
10:22
but it's I haven't been posting it
10:27
lately I'll tell you why cuz I actually
10:28
on my wrist right here I have a Fitbit
10:30
the Fitbit tracks my steps and my
10:32
running I love my Fitbit I don't post
10:34
the so I did a run yesterday in the day
10:37
before I didn't post the results because
10:39
it's yeah it was easy on the app is the
10:41
app just has on the phone like I'm sure
10:43
the Fitbit has the same app on the phone
10:45
but I just don't bother I finish my run
10:47
hit and and I just I'd like the tala
10:49
that because you thought the day that I
10:50
don't bother posting the run because I'm
10:52
working throughout the day if that makes
10:53
sense so but my day ends at the end the
10:55
day so that's how I look at yeah you're
10:57
spared you can if am was listening that
11:00
was on my facebook rest assured Ryan's
11:02
still running even I don't post anymore
11:04
just want to let it let all my listeners
11:05
know that yeah bothered by it I know I
11:11
know
11:11
I think as well as if you hear you're
11:15
gonna remember it sure we're talk about
11:18
spicy food right we're talking about we
11:20
were not raised on spicy food did you
11:23
know Ruben that spicy food does help you
11:26
lose weight now I could argue without
11:28
going further into this that if it's so
11:30
spicy Houston might not eat very much
11:33
sure I recently was given a spicy oh
11:37
yeah my in-laws came by they brought me
11:40
some with the spice was but really spicy
11:43
potato chips and I do look spicy potato
11:45
chips and so bless their hearts they
11:47
Proximus by secretary first it was so
11:50
spicy right there's no way that you like
11:53
yeah I'm really enjoying this right but
11:56
yeah you like spicy but I guess the
11:58
theory is is that if you spicy potato
12:00
chips it should even each other right
12:02
well yeah yeah every spicy chip that you
12:06
eat is just days away it fades away this
12:10
is how it works when you eat spicy foods
12:11
Reuben especially Chili's the caps and
12:15
Isis capsaicin and it raises the
12:20
metabolism rate and triggers
12:22
thermogenesis which is just a fancy word
12:24
for the production of heat inside the
12:26
body so essentially it works the same
12:27
way as the old wives tale says it does
12:30
by burning the fat away except now it's
12:32
backed by peer-reviewed research rather
12:34
than hearsay now I don't know how much
12:36
spice you have - yeah we're talk about
12:38
the spice too bad calorie ratio like I
12:41
that's probably yeah I would recommend
12:43
just eating healthy and on top of it
12:46
evey spicy healthy food then you're just
12:48
there double dipping into the health for
12:51
those wondering capsaicin say again
12:53
capsaicin is everything I say I know
12:57
this is the Google capsaicin
13:00
that's creepy stop chasing capsaicin Oh
13:11
capsaicin alright now we know the more
13:14
you know you didn't even exercise it now
13:16
you feel a little bit smarter is you
13:18
know how to pronounce it if I keep jog
13:20
and I'll remember that pronunciation and
13:22
by the way if I know how to pronounce it
13:24
I would have not used the Google root
13:27
its garlic do anything for you helps the
13:29
toothache brother garlic is actually
13:30
effective for believing toothache due to
13:33
its antibacterial properties garlic can
13:36
also provide quite a few other benefits
13:38
to the body like fighting infections
13:40
were reducing blood glucose levels and
13:42
even anti-tumor properties for active
13:46
you
13:47
the information before I had cancer
13:49
whenever you diagnosed again what year I
13:51
was diagnosed 2011 but the effects of it
13:53
were affected my life like where I
13:56
couldn't walk in 2000 September 2010
13:58
September to March 2nd I was hoping it
14:02
was 2012 because I would have helped me
14:04
with my CERN the fact that you got
14:06
pushed out of a parallel universe from
14:08
having cancer to not having cancer or
14:10
vice versa great do I wonder you put the
14:17
garlic right on the tooth or bloodstream
14:20
or I don't know I'm kind of surprised by
14:22
this because not too long ago I had a
14:24
tooth extracted at the dentist's office
14:26
and in the cavity of where the truth was
14:30
and my gums they packed it full of
14:32
cloves but again that's not a toothache
14:35
that be the cavity but yeah it tasted it
14:39
were quite great actually a little too
14:40
close in there I didn't really know
14:42
about the toothache King garlic yeah
14:44
that's the first time I've ever even
14:45
heard that so yeah next time you brush
14:48
your teeth through but just throw a
14:49
little bit of a little bit of garlic on
14:51
your mouth before you kiss the way
14:52
Oh God
14:53
they should have brought ya car
14:55
toothpaste I would work yeah but
14:58
brothers clove oil for toothache pain or
15:00
popular because of the smell
15:02
so Ruben you and I work very hard you
15:05
have long days of work you work five to
15:07
sometimes seven days a week six days a
15:09
week for sure yeah you don't have this
15:11
option as much as even I might have it
15:13
on the regular work schedule that
15:14
sometimes you can have but you can Ruben
15:17
catch up on lost sleep on weekends also
15:20
I did today
15:20
nice how did you catch up go to Asia
15:23
wake up up 5:30 and woke up by 8 today
15:28
nice no I was on purpose
15:32
yeah this week was a little brutal it
15:35
was like 12 14 hour days six days a week
15:39
so Ruben according to one study that
15:41
looked at sleeping habits of over 38,000
15:44
Swedish adults the Swedes Swedes love
15:47
the Swedes
15:48
well who didn't get enough sleep every
15:50
day had a higher mortality risk because
15:53
of course they did so surprisingly
15:56
however the people who caught up on
15:57
their sleep lost sleep during weekends
16:00
had the same or
16:01
karissa as those with a regular sleep
16:02
schedules so now it doesn't mean that
16:04
you can stop sleeping during the week
16:06
altogether and make up for it by
16:08
sleeping 40 hours straight over the
16:09
weekend though it does prove that let's
16:12
say college kids or workers like us or
16:14
nightshift workers that they can get a
16:16
little bit of catching up on the weekend
16:18
look the end the day just sleep as much
16:20
as you can when you can without over
16:21
sleeping that let's see if had a busy
16:23
Monday to Friday and you've got a couple
16:25
days off they're saying go to bed early
16:27
and or sleep in and catch up and you do
16:29
recover interesting yeah cuz sometimes
16:31
you hear all you got to keep your same
16:32
schedule you know over the weekend to
16:35
train your body and they're saying no no
16:37
if you have a time off and you're tired
16:39
sleep yeah but I actually never believed
16:41
it I was like no when I'll sleep when I
16:43
can how I can and it's it's worked
16:45
throughout my life I've I'm a pretty
16:47
good sleeper can sleep five hours I
16:49
could sleep seven hours it doesn't
16:51
matter you know as long as I just go to
16:53
bed when I can't go to bed and wake up
16:54
when I wake up I'm I'm usually pretty
16:56
good about focusing on an average of six
16:59
hours a day
16:59
personally huh seems interesting that's
17:02
weird it's weird that we need sleep
17:04
it is weird and it's weird that you
17:06
could catch up on it yeah it is we're
17:09
sleep it is weird it's I know you've
17:11
probably done it like or thought of it
17:12
like I have but every time I'm about
17:14
falling asleep I think of myself this is
17:16
weird I'm literally time is my body let
17:19
go and I know you're putting yourself
17:21
into a comatose state and I know it's
17:26
natural I know but it's a kind of a
17:27
scary thought people died in their sleep
17:29
yeah it's very vulnerable
17:32
obviously oh yeah yeah people could
17:36
touch you somebody could climb in your
17:40
window and you don't know it it's
17:42
terrifying but there have been house
17:43
break-ins where people literally will go
17:44
with somebody said you know for their
17:46
bed yeah that actually happened to me
17:51
not a break-in but I was taking a course
17:55
in different city I asked people that
17:57
knew anybody that I could say at their
17:59
house and I did and I woke up in the
18:03
middle of the night I'm not making this
18:04
up this is completely true this is as an
18:07
adult I woke up a sleeping on a mattress
18:10
like an air mattress in the living room
18:12
I woke up the hosts
18:14
the house was sitting on a kitchen chair
18:17
staring at me this is true with
18:20
headphones then will seem to heavy metal
18:22
in the dark and I mean the chair was
18:25
like rate to the bed just staring at me
18:29
where was this sure is New Brunswick
18:33
city of Moncton when we're living near
18:35
mushy I went to a course there because I
18:38
wanted to start my own business there
18:39
was a course that I went wanted to go
18:41
but I have no idea I have no idea
18:46
and I was like in the fog asleep yeah I
18:49
don't sit there yet no wow so everybody
18:52
ever hear people say oh the weather's
18:54
change I can feel it my joints holes on
18:58
the book there a lot of older people
19:00
having to say this one too I feel start
19:02
going who's the first to say that well
19:05
somebody was because a study has found
19:07
Rubin the changes barometric pressure
19:10
room temperature and humidity have a
19:12
noticeable impact on arthritis pain and
19:14
the more they changed the horse that
19:16
pain gets these parameters vary most
19:19
during monsoon seasons which is why
19:22
there are many more medical visits for
19:25
arthritis during this time than any time
19:27
of the year so if you live in a monsoon
19:28
riddled area arthritis people should not
19:31
live in places like Florida ironically
19:34
that is weird so don't grow old in the
19:38
monsoon areas just for the young guys
19:40
weird you like eating right most of time
19:44
yeah
19:44
what do you talk about the next one if
19:46
you have a heavy dinner looks like that
19:50
if you see supper as well some people
19:51
it's funny and I see it because some
19:54
people consider dinner at lunchtime I
19:55
know so
19:56
last meal today last meal the day people
19:59
who have over 33% of their daily caloric
20:02
intake in the evening of a much higher
20:05
chance of being overweight as opposed to
20:07
have their heaviest meal early on the
20:09
day like breakfast that a heavier
20:11
breakfast or any breakfast really lowers
20:14
the chance of being obese suppertime I
20:17
love the food at supper right breakfast
20:19
isn't always so much you can have a
20:20
break like I don't know why you get
20:22
here's the funny thing why don't you
20:23
just eat whatever you want whenever you
20:24
want there's no rule that says you can't
20:26
have a turkey dinner at 8:00 9:00
20:27
morning I don't know maybe it's like the
20:30
morning you're in fresh and you're
20:33
rushed to your rush I know for me and I
20:35
know for you to do you have time to sit
20:37
there and make a huge meal you know so I
20:40
think that's what the Supper does is
20:41
people have time to make that bigger
20:43
meal they're just saying look don't
20:45
overdo it at supper that's all now this
20:48
one I want you to go over because I've
20:52
heard that it makes you sick
20:54
I've heard it doesn't make you sick look
20:57
follow something to it and that is of
20:59
course the cold the cold does actually
21:01
make you sick is what the study has
21:03
found
21:04
oh so the cold weather yes it's not the
21:07
cold my apologies sir yeah the
21:09
temperature cold if it's cold outside I
21:11
put a jacket on you'll get sick okay
21:13
apparently this is true so cold weather
21:17
Reuben doesn't actually make you sick
21:19
because we know that having a having a
21:21
cold it's like it's a virus but it's
21:24
complicated because the frigid weather
21:25
does have a lot to do with it but it's
21:27
the virus that causes the sickness even
21:29
if the cold weather itself can't make
21:31
you sick flu viruses actually thrive in
21:35
cooler temperatures
21:36
so the absolutely love low humidity too
21:38
so combine that with the fact that
21:40
they're able to survive outside their
21:41
human hosts for longer periods in cooler
21:44
environments you have the perfect recipe
21:46
for a good old flu epidemic so moreover
21:49
our bodies also react in a different way
21:51
during when it's cold outside making the
21:54
common cold even worse the immune
21:56
response in the nasal cavity doesn't
21:58
work as well at lower temperatures
22:00
though we don't quite understand why
22:02
yeah interesting it is interesting the
22:05
temperature itself is not what's making
22:08
you sick so like if you just went inside
22:09
a freezer that was a vacuum-sealed
22:12
freezer you're not going to get a cold
22:15
virus but introduce the virus in that
22:19
temperature your body has a harder time
22:21
fighting it and the virus itself thrives
22:24
in that cooler temperature outside of
22:25
your bodies put this way hot temperature
22:28
because you hear the two you think you
22:29
live in the desert you probably are
22:30
gonna catch cold because those viruses
22:31
don't like the heat weird yeah weird
22:35
weird weird put on your jacket honey or
22:37
catch a cold
22:38
that's the debunked myth the jacket has
22:40
nothing to do with
22:41
the virus likes the cold and I'm going
22:43
out to meet the virus whether I have a
22:45
jacket on or not yeah well I hope you're
22:47
a member of this this cold season sir
22:50
what is the worst one I think for the
22:52
worst one for me because these are all
22:53
quote unquote scientifically studied so
22:55
far as we know it to be true these myths
22:57
that we hear or we've heard through the
23:00
grapevine or whatever either pew or
23:01
response by that one though just one I
23:03
think for me the worst one is one that
23:06
the one I would apply to my life the
23:09
least but the one that I would be like
23:11
even though it's true like I would
23:13
definitely use the weekend at catch up
23:15
on my sleep I'm sure if I had arthritis
23:18
you know the monsoons would affect my
23:20
you know joints I agree you shouldn't
23:23
eat a lot before bedtime in general you
23:25
should you know not do that so all that
23:26
stuff is so the one that I'm like is
23:28
least interested in even applying or
23:30
trying is the garlic on the toothache
23:32
yeah you know maybe when I have a
23:35
toothache I'll I'll be interested okay
23:37
but for me it is eating spicy food to
23:41
help lose weight I've never heard of the
23:44
spicy food diet
23:45
Canon's wait do I would have recommend
23:47
to lose weight per say but I I'm not
23:49
opposed to eating spicy food and why not
23:51
have it burns my calories at the same
23:53
time as it's lower on my list too but I
23:55
would rather eat a spicy food then apply
23:58
garlic to my tooth because I have a
23:59
dental plan all right all right well
24:05
thanks for listening everyone remember
24:07
in front of every silver lining there's
24:09
a cloud and Ruben and I are here to help
24:10
you find the thanks for listening
24:13
[Music]
24:37
