0.03 -> next thing we're gonna do we're actually
1.17 -> going to talk about nuts nuts and seeds
4.29 -> because actually it turns out that nuts
6.299 -> and seeds are critical for protecting
8.55 -> our telomeres so what's the telomere I'm
10.83 -> no idea it's super important for
12.599 -> protecting our DNA it's a happy sounding
14.969 -> word attea here so look a telomere it's
18.09 -> actually like the plastic cap on the tip
21.21 -> of a shoelace and what it does is it
23.189 -> actually protects our DNA shields our
25.26 -> DNA from wear and tear as we age so
28.439 -> aging is another kind of part of this
30.51 -> and look at this on this shoelace this
33.12 -> is protected if the shoelace is DNA and
35.13 -> this code is coated and protected now
37.079 -> look what happens if you don't have the
39.12 -> cat wheels are off the bus again that's
41.34 -> right and look at look at all this
42.84 -> damage if this is your DNA you would be
44.399 -> in trouble
45.149 -> train Mac very bad so research has shown
48.96 -> that people who eat more nuts and seeds
50.67 -> have longer telomeres which means that
53.07 -> eating nuts can slow down our cellular
55.23 -> aging and after all is know what we want
57.239 -> we want to slow down our agent
58.559 -> absolutely and you're not doing this
60.09 -> with chemicals or surgeries you're doing
62.52 -> this from the inside out exactly and
65.25 -> another reason that nuts are good for
66.39 -> you is that they have a lot of fiber
67.32 -> which activates our healthy gut bacteria
69.27 -> which boosts our immune system and what
71.52 -> I like to do is I take a bunch of
72.75 -> roasted nuts like walnuts here and some
75.509 -> cashews I love and then some almonds
79.08 -> here almonds are my fave right so then
81.33 -> you just mix it up this is a trail mix
82.71 -> okay and then what I like to do is I
84.509 -> could throw in some chocolate chips dark
86.67 -> chocolate charged chocolate chips are
88.86 -> you get at the grocery store 70% or
91.02 -> darker mix them in and then throw in a
93.18 -> little bit of dried cranberries there's
95.189 -> a little extra antioxidant is ink let me
97.68 -> just just look at this research has
99.15 -> shown that our food can help our body
101.4 -> protect its DNA so one of the foods that
104.549 -> we're gonna talk about is not just a
106.619 -> chicken but actually oysters
108.979 -> specifically Pacific oysters right so
112.259 -> this is like not what you hear about
113.549 -> when you talk here about food and health
114.869 -> but now I'm telling you something brand
116.31 -> new turns out that oyster meat contains
118.59 -> an amino acid called tar ena protects
120.869 -> DNA now you can often always absolutely
127.44 -> you know I'm just trying to protect my
129.24 -> DNA so you can actually have oysters
133.44 -> robbed but most people don't live by the
134.94 -> ocean and if you're do you're probably
136.29 -> not shucking the oysters in your kitchen
138.39 -> but here's amazing news you can actually
141.03 -> get the same benefits from oyster sauce
143.42 -> which everybody can get to make their
145.68 -> own take out in the regular grocery
146.82 -> store it's right next to the soy sauce
148.26 -> usually so here's what you can do with
149.94 -> the stir-fry you got some chicken thighs
151.86 -> stir frying up here on some garlic and
153.96 -> some olive oil all you got to do is like
155.4 -> pour some this oyster sauce in there hmm
157.92 -> and we're providing the recipe online
159.9 -> just stir that coating it okay chicken
163.95 -> my flying the coop and then what we're
166.53 -> gonna do is we're gonna actually think
168.42 -> about it olive oil garlic chicken thighs
170.67 -> moisturize I wish it now we're just
172.5 -> gonna put some basil in there and you
175.92 -> know the reason we're using chicken
177.09 -> thighs is because even though most the
179.04 -> time we're taught that the breast is the
180.63 -> healthiest part of the chicken
181.98 -> turn up the thighs are not the sides are
184.29 -> right right cuz they contain a special
186.57 -> kind of vitamin called vitamin k2 that's
188.25 -> good for the heart it could even help
190.35 -> fight cancer less expensive they're
192.42 -> moister they're tastier exactly pretty
194.82 -> cool now think just just smell these
196.98 -> beautiful flavors that actually coming
198.63 -> up that smells amazing it yep soy sauce
204.36 -> and then let's go ahead and just add a
206.25 -> little tiny splash of chicken stock all
209.34 -> right that'll pick it right down that's
215.01 -> done I mean basically now all we got to
216.54 -> do Brown healthy brown rice so just just
222.209 -> keep eating why you tell them okay taste
224.73 -> this brown rice and basil Oh mmm
231.81 -> amazing right and your DNA is thinking
234.15 -> you - mmm
235.37 -> [Applause]
