Well, my healthy revelation of this week is 20 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 2: that I've decided the reason I'm so dehydrated at the 21 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 2: moment is because I haven't been having iced coffee. I've 22 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 2: been having regular, like hot coffee. I know there's no 23 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 2: science behind this, so I used to drink I drink 24 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,759 Speaker 2: it like every day through summer. Yeah, and I've decided 25 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 2: that that extra bit of water and ice is maybe 26 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 2: what's been keeping me more hydrated than usual. This is 27 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 2: it's pseudo scienceless water. No, I don't drink much water, 28 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 2: but I think that the iced coffees have been keeping 29 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,119 Speaker 2: me afloat, and now I'm not having them. 30 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 3: We better go back to it. 31 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 2: I have, I got one this morning. I think that's 32 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,119 Speaker 2: my health tips for everyone for the week. 33 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 3: Coffees. Yeah, bring back summer exactly. What's your health story 34 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 3: of the week? 35 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 2: My topic for the week. It's a story by contributor 36 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 2: Ashley Low and the headline is a definitive guide to 37 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 2: the health test you should have at every age and stage. 38 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:53,559 Speaker 3: I love this one. 39 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 2: It's great. It is such such a good thank you, 40 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 2: such a good story. So for most of us, it's 41 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 2: not often until we experience some sort of like health scare, 42 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 2: whether that's yourself or it's someone else in your family, 43 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 2: that we give much thought to our ongoing health. And 44 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 2: I think we know that certain screenings and tests that 45 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 2: we know we should get them, but they're quite a 46 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 2: nebulous concept until you get a prompt from the health 47 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 2: department or until something goes wrong. So this story is 48 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 2: basically your one stop shop. It atlines every health test 49 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 2: and screening you should have in your radar for every 50 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 2: decade of your life. When to get them, how often 51 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 2: you need to go back, which ones you need to 52 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 2: like you know self, motivate to go and get, and 53 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 2: which ones you'll get reminders for. It's amazing, it's a 54 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 2: great story. Can you give us a few yes. So, 55 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 2: some of the check ins that you should do at 56 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 2: every age include skin checks, So you should see your 57 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 2: GP at least once a year for a full skin 58 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 2: check or six months if you have a family history 59 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 2: or a higher risk. Dental checks every six month to 60 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 2: a year, which is bad news for people like me 61 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 2: who absolutely despise the dentist. And then in your health checks, 62 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 2: you should do once a year just to check in 63 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 2: on like wait, blood pressure, things like that. And then 64 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 2: for example, in your thirties and forties, you should start 65 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: checking in on heart disease and cholesterol, type two diabetes, 66 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 2: and breast cancer. 67 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 3: That's just a tay breast. 68 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 2: Always check your breast and actually it totally it is. 69 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 2: And she gives a really good tip on the breast 70 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 2: checks as well, is that you should get into the 71 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 2: habit of checking every time you have your period, just 72 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 2: as like a monthly calendar, almost reminding you of when 73 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 2: to do it. 74 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: So I actually got to chick just after my period 75 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: because I find they're less lumpy. Oh yeah, the week 76 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: after that's good. 77 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 3: I mean the shower. I do it once over. 78 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 2: It's a special treat for finishing your period, and then 79 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 2: you get to check your boobs. Go for it. 80 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,839 Speaker 3: If that's what's going to Yeah, you remember. 81 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 2: Whatever it is. But it's a great piece. It's definitely 82 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 2: one that I would like bookmark personally, just as a 83 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 2: reminder for what you should have on your calendar and 84 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 2: on your radar. 85 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: And because often they are the one thing we just 86 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: let go so much else going on, and we you know, 87 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: we need to get to Pilate's, and we need to 88 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: buy a new pair of running shoes, and we forget 89 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: that we need to check out risks exactly. 90 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 2: And with the national screening programs, then you get reminders 91 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 2: for those ones from the Health Department. But there are 92 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 2: so many things that you don't get reminderus for and 93 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 2: unless you have it on your radar, they just fall 94 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 2: off the list. Yeah. 95 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: Absolutely, I actually have checks I have. I've put some 96 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: of them into my diary. Yeah, it's good so that 97 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: I remember. 98 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 2: I have a friend and every year on her birthday 99 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 2: she gets perhaps mere, which frankly sounds like my idea 100 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 2: of hell, but it's a good way to remember. 101 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: Well, I want to talk today about a well it 102 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: was a new it's called a meta analysis, and I'll 103 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: explain what that is in a second. But the headline 104 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: of this study got me because I want to know 105 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: we'll drinking your fruit and vich actually give you the 106 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: same nutritional punch as eating it. 107 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 2: The ongoing question it is to juice or not to juice? 108 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 2: And what type of juice cold pressed or I don't know? 109 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 3: Well I don't have an answer for that. 110 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 2: Okay, Well come back to that one, okay, But we do. 111 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: Know that ninety five percent of Australian struggle to eat 112 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: their fruit and veg each day, and as adults, we 113 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: should aim for five servings of veggies and two servings 114 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: of fruit each day. So perhaps that thing that we've 115 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,239 Speaker 1: always wondered is how much does juice count to this quota? 116 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 3: Well, this was interesting. 117 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: It's a recent umbrella review of meta analysis. 118 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 3: Now, this is a type of research that. 119 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: Combines data for multiple studies of multiple outcomes into one paper. 120 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 2: So it's a super study. It's what I'm here, super 121 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 2: size study. 122 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: So it looked at the relationship between one hundred percent 123 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: juice and a range of health outcomes. Now, basically, the 124 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: thing it found is that most of the evidence showed 125 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 1: juice has a neutral impact on health, meaning no or 126 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: a positive one. Okay, yes, yes, so pure one hundred 127 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: percent juice was linked to improve heart health and inflammatory markers, 128 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 1: wasn't clearly linked to weight gain, multiple cancer types, or metabolic. 129 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 3: Markers such as blood sugar levels. 130 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: So positive even nothing or good yeah, one hundred percent 131 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: cheese Okay, we're talking no sugar here, Okay, just juicing 132 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: in a juicer. 133 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 3: Now. 134 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: One of the research is doctor Emma Beckett. She's from 135 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: UNSW in Sydney. She's also been on the podcast. She's 136 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: actually got a great book coming out that I did 137 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: a little review off in August. She actually did this 138 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: study or was she friend of one of the many 139 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: friend of the poet? Yeah, yeah, And she wrote in 140 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: the conversation she wrote up about the study, and she 141 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: also wrote some words of wisdom which I want to 142 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: share with you because I thought they were valuable And 143 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: basically smooths and juices aren't a silver bullet, and there 144 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: is no evidence that they work as a cleanse or detox. 145 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,239 Speaker 1: But with societies low levels of fruit and vegetable eating, 146 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: having the option to access nutrients and bioactives is in 147 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: a cheap and easy and tasty way shouldn't be discouraged. 148 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: So she's saying, drink your juice because we all need 149 00:06:59,120 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: to get. 150 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 3: More fruit and vega in our diet. 151 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: Absolutely juice helps, but it will never replace the original thing. 152 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 2: Okay, that's a good reminder, I think. So have your 153 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 2: juice if you can't get it in other ways, but 154 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 2: try to get it in other ways. Yeah, exactly, Still 155 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 2: have your broccoli with dinner. But if it. 156 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: Fits into the context of your diet and your life, 157 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: juice it perfect. And the other thing is you do 158 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: get different nutrients through often. You know, for example, I 159 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: put keyway through my breakfast this morning, and I cut 160 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: off the skin. I throw in the blender, still got 161 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: the skin on it, clever, So do get more nutrients. 162 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: Okay sometimes in that respect. 163 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 2: There you go hot tips flips. 164 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: Anyway, just quickly before we go, give us a quick 165 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: rundown of the most clique story. 166 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 2: Of the week.
