[Music]
the and welcome back to the dean show
and with us all the way from California
Hy and Gracie how are you sir I'm doing
amazing thank you now before we get into
this very important topic just uh we've
had uh some of the Gracies on the uh on
the dean show before Hy and Gracie tell
us a little bit about yourself have you
heard of this big event now because we
know your your family uh is into the
martial art I trained the Gracie
Brazilian J Jitsu most effective martial
art in the world by far now there's this
up and coming it's a huge big event it's
called The Ultimate Fighting
Championships have you ever heard of
it I heard about oh I'm sorry I'm sorry
you started it is that right that's
right uh when I came to the states uh
first time in 1969 I had a very unique
experience here my ticket was stolen uh
what was going to be a trip for about a
month ended up to be a trip for one year
he gave me the the passion for the
United States I made some good friends
and then I went back to Brazil in 1978
after I finished law school I decided to
come back to the states with the
objective of establishing jitu and
sharing with the rest of the world that
was my my dream then so I put some Mets
in my garage and every person I met
anywhere I invited for a free class and
the guy loved it of course and if he
came back and brought a friend I'll give
him another free class if he brought 10
friends I'd give him 10 free classes and
that's how the word start spreading
around it was not uncommon that
sometimes a student would say hey h my
former Kung Fu instructor or karate or
tie boxing or whatever does not believe
in he wants to challenge you to a fight
would you accept that I said of course
so he will bring their former
instructors or different martial arts to
challenge me on the garage and of course
I would tell my students you know
Tuesday night 8:00 you know there's a
challenge match against this and that
guy and they St will pile up and love to
watch that kind of
stuff and repeatedly because Jujitsu is
indeed the most effective form of
martial art it would allow me to control
my opponents without having to bloody up
anybody or hurt anyone in a very loving
way hug those guys put them on the
ground squeeze their necks a little bit
twist their arms a little bit and
ultimately they would give up and say W
this stuff is amazing I want to learn
this so the large majority of people
that came to challenge me eventually
became friends and students and that's
How the West Was one over and over
hundreds of times I had those
challenging mats in my garage during a
period of over 10 years when I was
teaching on my garage and eventually it
dawned on me that if I came to the
United States with the objective of
sharing the art of jutu developed by my
family with the rest of the world I
could not be in a little tiny Garage in
Hermosa Beach I have to think big and
that's when I came up with with the
concept of creating a tournament which
is the Ultimate Fighting Championship to
compare different styles of martial arts
against one another I put ho in there
little tiny skinny little ho goes in
there does the job shows everybody the
effectiveness of graj and the rest is
history you know and uh now we're here
yeah we we had ho your brother not too
long ago on the program uh tell us we
see in this clip now is this a Kung Fu
guy it seems like you're giving him one
of these Gracie hugs he's rushing at you
it seems like this is from the graci in
action and now you're stepping back then
you step in you give him a hug what's
going on here um I'm don't not see
exactly what you're seeing there but the
idea is that's the trick you know you
want to avoid the distance where they
can be dangerous with their strike and
as soon as there is an opportunity you
close the gap take him to the ground and
ultimately you look for submission so
that's the plan every single time it
works like a charm now now let's talk
about something I mean it's so
detrimental I mean uh this is something
that I'm I'm just blown away I'm I'm I'm
flabbergasted uh the more I look into
this it's like a whole Oran a whole new
world is opened up to me I can see now
that I've changed my diet I'm I'm eating
different I'm I've I've eliminated
certain things from my diet you know um
it's just amazing and I want to really
share this with uh you know these basic
things that people can do uh that can
really dramatically change their life we
see diabetes heart disease you know
Cancer all these things that were you
know basically unknown at a certain time
now it's an epidemic obesity uh and you
you're somebody who's also you've taken
out this Challenge and you're also
educating like you were people on the
most effective martial art now you're
educating people on
diets well it's not exactly a diet first
of all um I think that people don't
understand the real secret of the
success of the graci family is not our
Jujitsu it's our health that's the trick
and uh it shouldn't be called a diet any
because you're not restricted from
eating basically anything you can eat
anything you want the trick is how to
combine the foods within a certain meal
and Uncle Kos my father's older brother
he spent 65 years of his life studying
food combining he was not a doctor he
was a self-thought nutritionist but he
read The Works of scientists and doctors
and experts in all kinds of Errors of
health and nutrition to finally come up
with his own conclusions of what should
be mixed within a meal in order to avoid
acidity on your system because acidity
is what causes all kinds of health
problems so if you can have a meal
in which the the ingredients or the
items of that meal when combined
together when mix together in that same
process of digestive process they bring
about alkalinity in your body instead of
acidity then you're you're doing good
but if by accident or by habit or
because you don't know about it by
ignorance you mix certain ingredients on
that food that are not combining
properly those ingredients might cause
acidity in your system and therefore you
can have your heartburn your headache
your cavity your stomach aches and
gastritis and all kinds of health issues
that we are just not aware of you know
eating is something almost very much
almost cultural your great grandmother
taught your grandmother your grandmother
taught your mom your mom teaches you and
you're probably going to teach your kids
things to eat things that you enjoy
eating in my family instead of eating
just eat something because it tastes
good we have all been taught to eat
something because it's good for you it's
good for your health so ultimately
that's the trick you have to learn to
like what's good for you the person who
likes to cigarettes or likes to you know
crack cocaine the fact that he likes it
doesn't make good for him so the trick
is to learn to choose things that are
good for you ultimately beneficial for
your health that's the key have you
heard this statement let food be your
medicine and Medicine be your food what
do you think about this what do you
think about this statement I had a I had
a staple in my head when I was a little
kid are you kidding me of course I heard
I grew up with that hipocrates is
amazing that's that's the father of
medicine he was saying stuff like that
you know thousands of years ago and way
ahead of his time you know and that's
what the whole idea is about people
usually eat and let and are Guided by
the flavor by the taste of certain foods
that's what determine what they eat the
trick is like I said learn to like
what's good for you that's the magic you
know once you grasp that concept and and
change your perception or your way of
looking at food as something that must
be beneficial for your health instead of
something just to stuff your face and
fill up your belly it changes everything
life is is beautiful you know now
someone says okay I agree with that
Horan Mr Gracie I like to Super siize it
okay I like a lot of sugar I like uh you
know uh brownies and twinkies and uh
super siize it sometimes I I'll give it
a a a t different taste I go to Burger
King right I mean uh what do your
thoughts on this well again if the
person is not aware the person has you
have to be you have to change your
perception of food have you tried a
calou juice squeeze you know a fresh
squeeze canalou juice with four or five
bananas and a couple of little bars of
asai as a breakfast you know as smoothie
and if you don't know that kind of stuff
you don't know what you're missing so if
you want to have the brownies and the
sugar and the fat and the coffee and all
that kind of stuff because it tastes
good you're not taking consideration
another aspect of your of your life that
could eventually uh pay big benefits by
eating and just stuff in your face with
stuff that taste good but not very good
quality stuff not good for your health
eventually you will pay a price for that
you know and then it's just a question
of choice life is about choices I would
I would suggest them to get a hold of
the book the GRE diet book look at some
of the recipes and and and suggestions
of meals we have there probably a lot of
stuff that you already eat and already
like you're just not mixing them right
that's the key we're going to take a
break you heard that with the Gracie
diet we're going to be talking about
more of that here on the dean Ramadan is
right around the corner we're going to
get some advice on how you can start
your day eating right because long days
fasting here with Hy and Gracie when we
come back don't go anywhere right
back this Ramadan brings with it 18-hour
fast at the peak of Summer a challenge
for the body and mind in this short
video we look at what happens to your
body when you
fast less blood will be flowing to your
digestive system when you fast so more
blood will be sent to other tissues in
your body in addition your body will use
the fasting period to remove deposits of
cholesterol that line the blood
vessels when you breathe your body can
absorb thousands of toxins which are
infused in the environment around us
fasting helps us remove the toxins that
are built up within your
lungs your stomach uses a time during
fasting to clean itself and remove any
waste matter to allow for more efficient
digestion
your intestines also use the time during
fasting to clean themselves and remove
any waste matter to allow for more
efficient
digestion your liver provides the body
with glycogen the secondary energy
source and breaks down fat to provide
glycerol another energy
source when you are fasting your kidneys
increase the amount of diuresis the
process of excretion of salt and water
which leads to lower blood pressure
the month of fasting can be extremely
beneficial for us mentally spiritually
and physically as long as you eat the
right foods and don't push yourself too
hard physically you may find yourself in
a healthier State at the end of the
month please subscribe to the dean show

below back here on the dean show with
hor and Gracie from the legendary Gracie
family by far there's no doubt about it
again going back and we'll come back to
we're going there is it's it's proven
most effective Marti in the world is
that without a doubt by now there's no
speculation in that is
it oh F I'm talking about the the Gracie
system the martial arts system
absolutely there's no doubt I mean there
it changed the world once and for all
you know nobody Ventures into a fighting
competition nowadays unless they have at
least the basics of Jiu-Jitsu they can't
do that they know they don't have a
chance fights ultimately are going to
end up on the ground they're going to
get into a clinch after a few punches
and kicks and if you don't have the
knowledge on the ground game you have no
chance so my dream of sharing J with the
world was absolutely accomplished uh
since the creation of the USC now the
world is getting around the Army the
armed forces are using it every branch
is embracing this concept and every
major federal law enforcement agencies
now more and more utilizing the
techniques of jujitsu and we're very
happy with that so this is a fact family
that has a very good track record this
is proven uh by science leverage this is
now something you said the key to that
we're talking about the food now this is
another aspect that is rarely touched
upon most people are uninformed in this
area and I think now hopefully we can
reach out a whole new audience and
people I I have found just by
eliminating F certain thing I personally
I mean people don't have to uh do this
but I read a a fabulous article and one
of the leading heart um uh surgeons he
talked about one of the leading causes
for heart heart disease was sugar so uh
I call Sugar poison the real problem is
the food companies who load their
products up with sugar which critics
called dangerous and addictive sugar is
poison diabetes heart disease lipid
problems Strokes cancer those diseases
are being driven by Sugar am I home I i'
i' I've replaced it with other
substitute raw honey with stevia talk
about can we talk about sugar a little
bit
well refined sugar is not good for you
absolutely but people like sweet things
I personally I like a sweet things I
love if you put in front of me I'm in I
know but the trick is like you said
select not only the kind of sugar you're
eating but more importantly how do you
eat that sugar I have meals for example
if I have a fish or some Roto or some
vegetables I'm not GNA eat that with a
sweet dessert even though people are
accustom of having a little dessert
because it tastes good it satisfies your
sweet tooth sugar when combined with fat
which is the ingredients that is use to
prepare your fish or your rice or your
vegetables whatever it is sugar in fat
that's the real that's the bomb that's
the problem to have sugar alone or mixed
with the right things it's bad for you
especially if it's refined sugar but
it's not as damaging as if you mix sugar
with fat if you have it for dessert so
if I'm having like I said fish and some
rice and some vegetables as a meal for
lunch for example I'm not going to have
dessert on that meal but I will have a
sweet meal later on in the day last
night for example I had watermelon juice
I had some rye crackers I had a slice of
cheese and I had some dates so that's a
way for me to satisfy my sweet tooth in
a meal that does not conflict with the
previous meal because it's 4 and half
hours apart which is one of the basic
concept and then you can have your sweet
uh satisfy your sweet tooth in a way
that's very healthy you know it keeps
you going forever with good health and
all the the energy that you need so so
we can do we can take out this what you
said refined sugar and replace it with
the natural sugars you mentioned one
thing the
date dates are a great substitute is
that right yeah dates and honey and
raisins I mean there's other ways you
can absolutely find you know eat sweet
things and then combine it properly and
have the great results there's a clip
right now that they're seeing of a
journalist showing the cocacola
president how many packs of sugar are
actually in and this is one thing I want
you to take off with just eliminating
and this is also another acidic food uh
uh um falls under acidic is the pops
right the sodas if we eliminate now uh
this from our from our from our U
fridge um absolutely me Coca-Cola people
is not interested on your health I mean
the last thing they car is about your
health there's 12 uh spoons of sugar in
each Coke I mean we know it's bad for
your health it's horrible so the
question I have is to the parents out
there at what age you've seen people use
Coca-Cola to drink to to clean you know
uh the stains and to clean uh uh how do
you say what do you think Rusty yes
materials and stuff like that at what
age is it okay to give Coca-Cola to your
baby when he's a year old or 6 months
old or two years old at what age it's
okay we know Coca-Cola is poison
everybody knows that but it tastes good
and like I said the people at Coca-Cola
the last thing they want is to worry
about your health they just want to sell
another Coke so if a parent knowing that
Coca-Cola is bad for your health feeds
the kid at Coca-Cola I mean what the
heck what is he thinking you know what
I'm saying it's known that one glass
your body works on the acidity level
between
6.75 and 7.25 that's the range that they
body try to maintain itself in terms of
acidity versus alkalinity right there if
you drink a glass of
soda it has a 2.5 acidity in it you need
to drink 32 glasses of good water to
wash off that one glass of
Coca-Cola you literally have to drown
yourself 32 glass of water Nobody Does
that so knowing that stuff is really bad
for your health next time your kid is in
a restaurant and say Dad I want a Coke
I'm telling you now
if you say Hey kid waiter bring the
little kid a Coke you're actually
helping to poison your own child don't
do that eliminate the the sodas in
general it's the best thing you can do
for your health do you recommend I saw a
very I mean this is like u a documentary
I I was excited about purchasing and
giving out to people it's called Fed Up
have you seen this documentary called
fed up it's been called Dangerous it's
been called addictive and it's in almost
everything we eat sugar tonight the food
industry is up in arms over a
controversial new movie accusing big
food of pedaling unhealthy sugar-filled
products especially to our kids what if
our whole approach to this epidemic has
been dead wrong the new movie Fed Up I
heard a lot about that I have not seen
yet but it's I heard it's really good
there's a whole bunch of those out there
right now very informative stuff yeah
this is um and and that's the thing
really getting educated tell us some of
the concepts now of the great of the
Gracie um way of
eating okay this is the basic concept
number one you you should only have
three meals a day or better yet you
should space your meals at least 4 and a
half hours apart so if you have
breakfast at 8:00 in the morning you
should not eat anything within four and
a half to five
hours so you have to allow your meal to
be completely digested before you eat
anything else the idea of eating every
three hours like many nutritionists
suggest is not good for your health at
all so number one space your meals at
least 4 and a half to 5 hours apart more
than that is okay but never less than
four and a half to 5 hours so that's
number one rule number two when you have
cooked food something that is prepared
with fat or oil or butter you should not
have sweets with it in other words after
eating your cooked meal do not eat
dessert not even a fruit nothing like
that if you're hungry ask for another
steak have another pizza but do not eat
fat or sweets or I'm sorry do not eat
sugar or sweets with as a dessert for
that meal a glass of juice nothing like
that okay and rule number three you
should have one starch per meal in other
words if you're having bread you should
not have french fries bread and potatoes
are different stares they should not be
mixed in the same meal so you can have
bread pasta pizza and crackers because
they're all made out of wheat it's okay
but don't have potatoes and bread
hamburger and french fries bad
combination don't do that so those are
the three basic concepts that of course
we explain more at length at the gra
diet book or the.com website we can have
much more information on that but those
are be the big Concepts that people have
to get I found I found now you know that
uh the creator has put all of this
wonderful food in the earth you know the
fruits and vegetables and I mean if we
anything that uh would you advise
staying away from anything that's gone
through the human process now and going
more towards the natural way we call it
processed
foods uh that would be a wise thing to
do Eddie but it's not realistic you know
what I'm saying you can say people don't
eat anything that is processed I mean
you just can't do it everywhere you go
there's you don't have access unless you
lived in a farm in the middle of nowhere
and you had ability to plant everything
and raise everything that would be ideal
but this is Utopia we can't do that
realistically more importantly than the
quality of the food that you're eating
in other words you don't have to eat
everything organic only I don't do that
I eat some things organic and some
things I just don't have access to have
organic to that so I eat the food even
though it's not organic like I said more
important than just having organic of
everything is combining the foods
properly
that's the trick you can't have a
hamburger and you can't have french
fries just don't eat the hamburger with
the french fries because the bread and
the potatoes are bad combination now we
all know that if you McDonald's sell a
hamburger for a dollar for 99 and
they're literally making a killing with
that by making a lot of profit with that
you know the quality of the meat is the
worst the quality of the bread is the
worst we know all that so it's up to you
to be become more informed and start
selecting do I want to have that meat
that is very cheap is very convenient
and I drive by and it tastes good
because got a lot of fat and sugar in it
or do I want to be a little more
concerned about my own health or my
family's health and start being a little
more selective on the process so that's
the trick you have to become more aware
of it and again changing your current
eating habits is probably one of the
most difficult things there is but it's
worth looking into it and uh it's an
easy read the G book is a very easy read
you'll read it in a couple of days and
it'll give you so much information and
you can take very gradual changes you
can take one step at a time make one
little change every day you'll make a
huge difference wake up in the morning
you got a glass of water first thing in
the morning do that will make you feel a
lot better it will be a big difference
on your so substitute more more uh more
water instead of the pop and the sodas
and the yeah of course we're going to
take a break and we're right back with
more we want some advice from you we're
going to be starting Ramadan this is the
fifth pillar of Islam uh and we need
some advice for all those who are
fasting uh we're going to get it from
you is that okay absolutely we're going
right back here with h and Gracie from
the legendary Gracie family here on the
dean show don't go anywhere
misconception Muslims are
terrorists this is by far the biggest
misconception of Islam given unfairly by
stereotyping and the Public Image that
the media gives has anyone else noticed
how when a specific group of people
attack another group of people it is
labeled as a hate crime but when a
Muslim opens fire on anybody it is
quickly regarded as terrorism many
political dictators and officials or
extremist groups use the name of of
Islam as a strategy to Garner followers
and attention when many of their
practices go against the true basis of
Islam the media has also portrayed Islam
as a cult or a club where if you join
you become a terrorist and that is now
part of your agenda however all over the
world people practice Islam in the true
form and use it as a way of life there
are many verses in the Quran that go
against the idea of terrorism some of
these verses include fight the way of
Allah those that fight you but do not
transgress limits for God does not love
transgressors this basically means do
not fight except in self-defense and
even in doing so do not go beyond
defense another verse States if they
seek peace then you seek peace which
means do not attack people for no reason
or kill innocent people there is nowhere
in Islam whether it be in the Quran or
the teachings of Muhammad that promotes
the killing of innocent
people I want you to imagine you wake up
and in front of you are a bunch of guys
running around kicking a ball no goals
no lines no rules what would you
think but is that your life surely every
sport has its goal every game has its
end it has its objective it has its
rules how about life how about our life
isn't there a goal to life isn't there a
purpose an objective that we have to
reach we think so the Quran tells us
that we exist in order to worship God
and worshiping God means knowing god as
the Quran
says worship though is not some narrow
small thing it's wide it's vast it
encompasses everything that the human
being does everything that you do
everything that you think everything
that you feel can be done thought said
felt
in a way that is either pleasing or
displeasing to God the purpose of life
is to try and do everything in a way
that God loves and God is pleased with
that is your goal please subscribe to

below back here with Hing Gracie now
many people they think look you go super
siize it and it's it's pretty cheap it's
it's pretty uh uh affordable but uh you
know people think wow you know if I want
to eat healthy it's it seems very
expensive what do you have to say to
this well first of all people have they
don't take in consideration a couple of
things number one when you eat fast food
and that kind of stuff you keep have the
habit of nibbling throughout the whole
day so if you think about how much money
you spend on snacks and little tiny
things like that it does add up number
one number two in terms of eating
healthy if you're more selective on what
you're eating it might cost you a little
bit more money now but you save on
doctor bills and hospital bills in the
long run trust me it's pay now or pay
later you know the fact that you might
spend a couple more bucks and select a
food that is healthier for you now you
make you feel so much but so much better
so much more energetic so much more
ready to deal with everything than if
you eat just anything stuff your face
with stuff that you don't like I mean
food that you like but it's not good for
you before you know you have to spend
money on medicine you have to take your
alha celsus and your tongs and your
anti-acids and all that kind of stuff
you know doctor bills and everything
else it's not worth it spend two weeks
experience I mean experimenting with the
graas diet and you're going to feel so
much better you never turn back I mean
this is it I am so excited and so sure
about this stuff that uh I want to
announce to you right here Ed listen to
this one this is serious please go ahead
get the Gracy diet book from grac
diet.com website get the book try the
grac diet for two weeks
if you don't feel better send me the
book back and I'll give you the money
back that's I mean that sounds like a
great uh deal nobody gives you them go
to Barnes & Noble buy any book you want
read it and say I didn't like it I want
my money back they're gonna say get lost
but I'm so confident and so committed to
this cause of helping people to have a
better life that I'm willing to give you
the money back if you try to that for
two weeks you don't feel amazing and I
know that you're going to try it you're
going to feel better and you're going to
say gosh this is great I need another
book to give to my rest of my family do
it Horan tell us now we're coming across
the time of the year uh that we fast uh
Muslims fast uh Islam is based on Five
Pillars one is to uh to acknowledge that
the Creator created us and to be
thankful for all the wonderful blessings
and he alone do we worship and Muhammad
is the last final mess that's the first
pillar then we pray five times a day
give to the poor then we have Hajj once
in a lifetime and fasting everyone knows
about Ramadan I'm sure you've heard
about it right so we wanted wanted your
advice as a as an expert in this area we
start off just to give you some
familiarity we start off before the
break of dawn we'll we'll get up we can
eat okay and typically traditionally
we'll have dates water and whatever else
so what would be your advice uh when we
get up to hydrate ourselves because all
day we stay away from drinking eating
relations with the spouse wife and then
when the Sun goes down at the break uh
at the sunset then we can go ahead and
many people they instead of they up
feasting now they end up just overdoing
it so that what would be your advice uh
starting the fast and then what to break
it with to get ready again we got to do
this for 30 days
Horan well of course you want to have
enough uh enough food that is energetic
enough to keep you to the whole day
that's no doubt on that so you have to
have a good hearty meal I'd say before
in the morning so that you can hold you
off the rest of the day I'd recommend
that you break the fest with something
lighter with something with some fruits
and and and something a little more
light to break the fast after the whole
because it allows your body to hydrate
better instead of just stuffing your
face with you know meats and all that
kind of stuff too much I would have that
before the fast you know that's my
suggestion so that you have enough fuel
in your body to let you hold longer
throughout the day and then break the
fast with some fruits and meals and
cheeses and stuff like that a little
more D dates and stuff a little more
light to break the fast that way if
Ramadan which with no for sure has the
objective of cleansing the person's body
and spirit that's the idea exactly um in
a way fasting is not just a physical
fasting but fasting in all aspects of
your life I mean really looking into
appreciating and and and showing
gratitude and understanding and
accepting the whole uh uh leadership of
the Creator or whatever you want to say
that way if that's the objective What If
instead of looking at your way of eating
only during Ramadan a person would
consider what they're eating in other
words be a aware of it not just during
Ramadan but during your whole life in
other words why would you just piig out
and eat everything if it's not Ramadan
season stuff your face with everything
else instead of considering every meal
almost as a holy as a holy experience as
a holy opportunity I prepare a meal at
my house here for the kids for us it's
almost like a ceremony that happens
every single day so I don't wait for one
specific day of the year or a specific
time of the year to really be careful
with what I eat once a once a month I
fast I don't eat anything for 24 hours
just as a way not only for me to help
you cleanse my body but away from me to
detach from the need of eating something
the idea I have to stuff my face all the
time by spending a day a month without
eating anything it just reminds me that
there's much bigger things out there
than just eating eating is just a way of
nourishing my body not a way to stuff my
face so if we take seriously and look at
the device and the objective of the
Ramadan as a way to cleanse your body
during that period why not look at every
single meal for the rest of your life as
a way to nourish your body an
intelligent way in a positive and
healthy way you know so I think it for
me it's much more profound than that
doing it for a month is brilliant is
important and a way to embrace the whole
world that follow the guideline to do it
that way but my step my suggestion is
look at every meal with respect and
appreciation for your body your body is
your temple we don't have the right to
mess it up by feeding at the junk and
wrong stuff and I don't care how I feel
I just want to stuff my f don't do that
that is in a sense you're breaking the
laws of the Creator you know he gave you
the temple it's your obligation it's
your responsibility to do the best you
can why would you get sick why would you
accept the idea of eating a meal and
then feeling so bloated and sick and and
with heartburn that you have to take a
medicine to P to pfy to to calm that
down I have to take a medicine to to
take away a heartburn why don't you eat
something that does not give you the
heartburn
this is a a wonderful brilliant advice
this is also in our tradition that we
are not supposed to be stuck exactly
what you're saying exactly but it's a
shame that you know it's one thing what
uh we're told to do and it's another
thing what people are doing before we
conclude we got a couple more minutes
it's see uh we see in this diet uh
wonderful thing you stay away from
alcohol also uh pork uh also uh this is
uh amazing it's very similar to you know
what we we supposed to stay away from
here I'm on right direction I guess yeah
this is amazing so closing comments and
advice what you want to say uh you
mentioned get the book where can they
get it and what what else you can tell
us from your years of experience I mean
you you you got a lot of experience
you've uh over the years tell us um I
think this of course to get the book at
gra.com the website is available there
or Amazon you can also have the book
over there my advice is this all bad
things happen for a good reason so if
anybody out there is feeling any kind of
health issues don't take a medicine to
solve that problem the same way if
you're driving your car in the freeway
and a little red light blinks on the
panel do you put a Band-Aid over it or
you pull over to a mechanic and have the
guy fix it so if your body ever if you
feel a heartburn or headache or C if you
have any kind of health issues if you
have to take a medicine for that instead
of taking a medicine which would be a
Band-Aid looking to the way you're
eating and fix it so that your body can
heal itself it's the best present we can
get from the Creator is that healthy
body so gra.com get your book if you
don't like it send me the book I'll give
you the money back i' like to thank you
again so much uh for all the wonderful
work you and your family been doing over
the years thank you God bless you thank
you so much all right thank you very
much and thank you very much Horan
Gracie for being with us here on the
dean show to cover this very very
important topic it is so important like
I said when open up I mean the food that
we're eating look could be a medicine
for you that's right you're putting the
right Foods in your body this blessed
body the crater's given us and we take
care of it it take care of us put the
wrong things in the body that's right
you're going to be end up going to the
doctor who's just going to prescribing
medications that's just going to get you
hooked and probably with 20 30 different
side effects and that's it it's a Down
Road roller coaster and hopefully we can
get get this uh book that he had
mentioned the Gracie diet watch get
informed eliminate a lot of the
junk Foods processed foods the foods now
that are not good for your body the
sugars replace it with some of the
substitutes we talked about raw honey
dates Stevia eliminate the pops Coke
this poison and drink more water the
fresh fruits and the vegetables that the
crater has given us and really get
hydrated when you start the day with the
fast and when you end and look he had
given some brilliant wonderful advice
that from the tradition from the last
and final message Prophet Muhammad peace
be upon him who had said the son of Adam
feels nothing worse than the belly was
he not saying it look overindulging in
food we need to make this a way of life
that's right then we see the benefits
making this way of eating a way of life
so not overindulging and not feasting
after the fast and not just watching
what we eat during R but your whole life
and then the Hadith goes on enough for
the son of Adam is to to fill his belly
look with a few morsels of food if he's
overtaken then one one3 air one3 water
one3 food this is from the last and
final message peace be upon him I hope
that you got the B I surely did was
honored thank you again Horan for being
