Dr. Martin: Well, good afternoon everyone, and once again, welcome to another live this afternoon. Okay, we got at least 10 studies that I've got. Well, I shouldn't say they're all studies. I think there was at least six or seven new studies. I want to comment on that. Okay? One of them was an article just on dehydration. It was amazing to me when I was in practice, guys, okay? I know I've mentioned this in the past, but how often I saw dehydration. People don't realize that unfortunately, there's no little light that goes off in your body that tells you that you're dehydrated. It would be nice to know because a lot of people, like I used to measure blood viscosity, and boy, I'll tell you, 50, 60% of people were dehydrated. You have to assume if you're on any medication at all, you're going to deal with dehydration, and it's really, really important.
And I used to tell people, look, okay, you might not have symptoms. Well, most people didn't even know the symptoms of dehydration. But for example, I said, well, one of the most common symptoms of dehydration is a headache. I'm not saying all headaches are dehydration, but the vast majority of the mark, it's amazing. When I used to give a little bit of salt water, like 99% water and a dash of salt, people said, my headache has gone away like incredible. So that and heart racing a little fast, even an increase in blood pressure a lot of times was fixed by hydrating properly. Dizziness when standing up quickly oftentimes is a sign of dehydration. And here's one, a lot of people get this. This is much more common today than it ever was, by the way. You know what it is? Muscle spasms, cramps. A lot of times you get up in the middle of the night and you got a cramp and it can be very painful.
But that's dehydration guy. And you know this. I say this all the time, okay? I say this all the time. Dehydration isn't just water. It's mostly water. I like a little bit of sodium. I like a little bit of minerals in there. And some people are using electrolytes. I got no problem with that. But your sodium potassium pump are really important when it comes to your kidneys, your heart, your blood pressure. So the headline on this would be dehydration, much more common than people think. And like I said, you must assume any medication at all, and the vast majority of people are on medication. You're going to be dehydrated. You need at least two liters of water, 64 ounces for my American audience at least. Now, I posted this one last week, massive study. 28,000 people followed over a period of 25 years. And here's what they found.
People who ate the most high fat cheese, Kareem had a decreased risk of Alzheimer's that goes against the grain guy. That goes against the grain. But you guys, my audience who are not saturated, stupid, that's what I call it, saturated stupidity, is people who vilified fat. And today, you still got lots of gurus vilifying fat. Over the years, I've said, well, first of all, fat don't make you fat. And fat is good for you. Fat is the best fuel. Fat does not give you cholesterol or bad, what they call bad cholesterol. And fat is only good for you. You don't get problems with diabetes because you're eating fat. You don't get problems with uric acid because you're eating fat. You get it because you're eating sugar. Sugar. Massive study, eating more full fat cheese and dairy cream decreases the risk of Alzheimer's. 25 year study findings, this is in the headline findings, challenge decades of low fat dietary advice.
Yeah, big time. So we posted that and I love it, Fathead. Hi guys. How are my fellow fathead? When you look at Alzheimer's, by the way, when they look at Alzheimer's in autopsies, the brain has shrunk. Looks like a prune. It's fat free. Is that what you want? It's cholesterol free. Is that what you want? And by the way, the number one fat in your brain is DHA fat. That's why I love DHA for your brain, for your heart, for your circulation, for lubrication, for your eyes, DHA Omega-3, the best of all the fats, the fatty acids, omega threes. Okay, new study number three, new study on magnesium and breast cancer. And this study said those with increased magnesium levels, very hard to measure. By the way, magnesium in your blood, it's not a good indication because magnesium belongs in your tissue. A new study showing increase in magnesium intake, a decrease in breast cancer.
And the study went on to say that it was probably due according to the authors in magnesium's ability to lower inflammation. Now, magnesium does a lot of things, guys. Okay? Whenever I think magnesium, I think relax, it relaxes your blood vessels. It's a very important part. Magnesium is involved in, I don't know, about 600 things. Magnesium is very important for blood sugar. Magnesium is important for the absorption of vitamin D. Probably the reason that they're saying that magnesium intake, if it increases, decreases inflammation, yeah, probably through its ability to help the body absorb vitamin D, but magnesium is very good for blood sugar too. It helps your insulin and magnesium of course, and sleep very important, right? Okay, so a new study says magnesium intake decreases your risk of breast cancer. So I love magnesium, okay? I really do. And I've been talking about magnesium for well over 40 years, probably more than that.
And we love it. It decreases inflammation, it decreases oxidative stress, it helps with your uptake of vitamin D, and it does a lot of things. This is a new study on walking, especially after you eat at nighttime. So the study says that walking just 10 minutes after eating at night will help to improve your blood sugar levels and help to regulate insulin. Now, we usually, we got it upside down a little bit in North America. It's our lifestyle. I think that's pretty common that people usually have a very heavy supper compared to, I'm not saying everyone, okay, but we have it sort of upside down because you're better off having a heavy meal in the morning or at lunch. A lot of people fast in the morning and have their big meal at lunch better. You got lots of time to digest it, but let's be practical.
Most people have their heavier meal at night, and what this study is saying is if you just go for a walk 10 minutes, you don't have to go far. It really helps to regulate blood sugar. So that's a nice practical point. I like walking, by the way. Very much. Walking is so good for you. Is there anything negative about walking? Okay, now, I talked to a former patient that slipped on the ice and broke her leg and broke her wrist. So she'd say, well, walking doc, yeah, maybe not on the ice with such a good idea. Happens a lot. It's amazing. Anyway, but there're nothing negative about walking. It's so, so, so good for you. It is so good for you. And what they've shown too in the studies, it not only regulates blood sugar and decreases the amount of insulin that you need. Thirdly, it helps your blood vessels at the endothelial.
That's your Teflon layer of your blood vessels, and it helps 'em to make your blood vessels even more slippery. Wow, who knew that? So that's a study on walking. Do I have a few more? I think so. This is an article, butter consumption down 62% over the last a hundred years. Crazy, right? Obesity's up heart disease is up, and yet they'll still blame butter, and they don't even take into consideration the vegetable oils and how inflammatory those things are. I know there's pushback on that. Now I see it. Well, vegetable who said they were bad? Dr. Martin, he's a quack. There really is pushback because it's a big industry, okay? I can tell you in Canada it's a huge industry. The canola oil industry. It's a big industry in Saskatchewan, and I think Saskatchewan's probably the number one province in Canada that produces canola. They just signed a deal to get it back into China.
The Chinese love Canadian canola oil. Now listen, I'm not against trade or free trade, okay? I'm just saying that when it comes to your health, canola, oil versus butter, not even close canola oil, you can literally run an engine on it, try using butter in your engine. It won't work, guys, but your body knows exactly what butter is, okay? Your body knows. Your body really doesn't know, and that's why you get the inflammatory response. I believe it's one of the reasons besides being higher in omega six, your body doesn't know what it is. It is a manmade oil. Your body cannot process it properly. So that's a big issue. So butter consumption down 62% over the last a hundred years. I knew it was down. I didn't know it was down 62%. It's crazy. And here we have more heart disease than ever. We have more obesity than ever.
Can't be the butter. Can't be the butter. Butter. I tell you these so-called vegetable oils, a perfect trifecta is sugar, bad oil turned into bad fat? IEA donut, think donut. How do they make 'em anyway? Okay, butter consumption down 62% and every chronic disease that you can think of is up by way over 62%. Can't be the butter. Okay? A new study showing 11 autoimmune diseases linked to low levels of, I'm going to ask you to answer that question. Okay? 11 autoimmune diseases linked to low levels of, let's see if anybody can give me on the scroll. The answer to that autoimmune is 100%. By the way, leaky gut, I've never seen an exception to it, but what vitamin is low? Roxanne, you're 100% bright. Okay, Margaret, B12, you're close. Kevin, you got it. Vitamin D, Janet, vitamin D, Jean, vitamin D. I love you guys because you think along the way, I do.
Okay, there says B12, Georgi vitamin D roses says B12. You guys in your B12 and vitamin D, Laura or Laurie, vitamin D, Anna, vitamin D, Andrea, vitamin D. You're right, you're right, you're right, Donna. And they're probably low in B12 too. I agree with that. Leila, you're right, Francis, you're right, Lisa. Marie. You're right, Simone. You're right, Jean. Oh, I love you guys. You know why I love you so much, Paul. You're right, Gina, you're right. Imagine being a teacher. Paul's saying probiotics too. Well, you're absolutely right there too, because a hundred percent Veronica, Kathy to Kathy's in a row, and Kathy said, I saw the scroll. I love you so much, Fred, you cheated. You saw the scroll. Margaret was going to say vitamin D, but guys, Milica. Okay, now put yourself in my position for a minute, okay? Pretend for a minute. You're Dr. Martin.
Okay? You're Dr. Martin. You're giving me a quiz and I get it right almost every time without exception, hardly. What do you think that does for a teacher, guys? Okay, what do you think that does for a teacher? I go, man, I don't want to trick you. I want you to learn. And even if I try and trick you, I can't even trick you guys. You're too stinking smart. I love that. You see how encouraging that is. I knew I could give you that little quiz and you guys would get it. You would get it. Holy smokes. What a crew we have.
Okay, guys, a little bit of a shortened version today. Why not, right? We'll just keep it short and sweet. Friday, send you questions in. Okay, question. Somebody asked me about trace minerals right now. I think I saw it this afternoon. I like trace minerals, okay? I like trace minerals. If you put a Himalayan salt into water, you are getting trace minerals, 84 of them. So yeah, I love trace minerals. If you want to get drops and put drops in your water up, trace minerals, I got no problem with that. People ask me about electrolytes. Well, electrolytes have become popular. Do I like them? I like electrolytes. I do. I really do. Okay?
Anyway, you guys smart, smart, smart, smart. I love it. What you guys know in nutrition, in natural medicine, I tell you guys all the time, but I'm going to say it again. I put my audience up against anybody else's audience. And I mean that it wouldn't even be close. If we had a contest, it wouldn't be close. I'd say, my students are going to win, and sure enough, you get it right. That is so encouraging for me. You have no idea. Okay, guys, we love you. Thanks for tuning in on the afternoon. We're going to do this again Thursday afternoon. At least that's the plan. Okay? Tomorrow, Wednesday is our morning time, as usual. Okay? 8:30 Eastern time. Okay, love you guys. Talk to you soon.
