00:00have you ever wondered why some men die in their 60s while others stay sharp strong and steady
00:11well into their 90s i'm going to tell you something that most doctors are too scared to
00:17say out loud it's not your genes it's not your medications it's not luck it's the first five
00:24minutes after you wake up yes five minutes 300 tiny seconds as a doctor who has spent seven
00:33decades watching men fight for their lives some winning many losing i can tell you this
00:40what you do the moment your feet touch the floor will determine how long you live how clearly you
00:46think and how much dignity you keep most men don't realize it until it's too late in this video i'll
00:54reveal the six brutal life-altering morning habits that determine whether you stay independent
01:00or end up in a hospital bed wishing you had listened sooner stay with me until the end
01:06because habit number six is the one that separates men who reach a hundred from those who fade far
01:13too early let's begin number one gentle movement the difference between strength and a fall that
01:20changes everything let me tell you the truth the first 30 seconds of your morning are the most
01:25dangerous seconds of your entire day why because when older men wake up their blood pressure is
01:31unstable their joints are stiff their balance is compromised and one wrong movement one single
01:38step can lead to a fall that destroys everything you've built your entire life i've seen men survive
01:45heart attacks i've seen men survive strokes but i've seen a simple fall take away their mobility
01:51their confidence their independence and in many cases their will to live that's why your day must
02:00begin with gentle movement not heroics not push-ups just slow steady activation point your toes circle
02:09your ankles roll your shoulders loosen your spine wake your body like you would warm an old engine
02:16carefully patiently respectfully i remember a patient named victor strong man former construction worker
02:25worked with steel his whole life but every morning he would bolt out of bed like he was still 25
02:32one morning his legs didn't catch him and his life changed forever after rehabilitation i taught him
02:39this gentle morning routine he told me doc i wish someone had forced me to learn this 20 years ago
02:45you're hearing it now do not ignore it number two water the difference between clarity and confusion
02:55here's a medical truth very few will tell you most seniors wake up dehydrated
03:01and dehydration is one of the fastest ways to age your brain dehydration causes morning confusion mood
03:09swings poor circulation dizziness heart strain brain fog memory lapses and falls again falls the solution
03:19is painfully simple drink water the moment you wake up not coffee not juice not soda water think of it as
03:27giving your body a jump start like oiling a machine that's been running for nine decades i knew a woman
03:33named carolina 79 years old who walked into my clinic feeling tired forgetful and weak she thought she had
03:42early dementia her problem she wasn't drinking water in the morning within a week of fixing this she said
03:48doctor i feel alive again sometimes the simplest habits are the most powerful if you want to stay
03:57sharp if you want to stay independent if you want to stay you start your morning with water if you're
04:05still here comment number two below so i know you're watching no three mindful breathing the weapon
04:13against an overactive mind let me say this bluntly most men wake up already losing the battle of the day
04:21why because they wake up stressed before they even sit up their heart is pounding their mind is racing and
04:29their cortisol levels are spiking like a siren and that constant stress it eats your brain it shrinks your
04:37memory centers it weakens your immune system it accelerates aging but there is a powerful weapon you
04:44can use against it deep mindful breathing the moment you wake up not meditation not spiritual practice
04:53just slow intentional breathing inhale pause exhale five times that's it i've used this technique on
05:03patients who were on the verge of panic men who buried their stress for years until it nearly destroyed
05:09them one man thomas told me he hadn't felt peace in 40 years he started this breathing ritual each
05:16morning and he cried in my office because he finally felt calm don't underestimate this this calms your
05:23nerves lowers blood pressure improves heart rhythm and steadies your mind so you don't walk into the day
05:30already defeated number four setting a daily intention men who don't do this age faster
05:37some mornings you wake up tired some mornings you wake up angry some mornings you wake up wondering why
05:45you're still here but here's the truth if you don't tell your mind how to behave it will choose the path of
05:52least resistance and that is always negativity i've seen tough men veterans firefighters fathers
06:00break down not because of physical illness but because they woke up every day carrying emotional
06:07weight setting an intention is not positive thinking it is a psychological anchor a mental compass a
06:13declaration say something like today i will move with patience today nothing will shake me today i choose
06:21peace today i show strength once you choose your intention your brain begins filtering your entire day
06:29through it this is how you regain control of your mood your reactions your dignity number five light the
06:36most underrated medical treatment on earth doctors don't talk about this enough so i will sunlight is
06:42medicine yes medicine without morning light your brain ages faster your sleep schedule collapses your
06:50hormones become imbalanced your immune system weakens your memory dulls within the first five to ten minutes of waking step outside or stand by a bright window just two to five minutes is enough to reset your internal clock i once treated a retired police officer who lived in darkness curtains always closed lights dim television glowing late into the night he aged ten years in just two once we fix the
07:20his morning light exposure it was like watching a man resurrect light is power light is life do not start your day
07:28without it if you're still here comment number five below number six cognitive activation the habit that saves your mind from decline this one this one is personal i have watched countless
07:42men proud capable men proud capable men lose themselves to memory loss and let me tell you something horrifying most cognitive decline doesn't start in the afternoon it starts in the morning when you fail to wake up your brain you must activate your mind immediately after waking not with television not with the news not with worry use something simple but stimulating recall three things you learned yesterday solve a small
08:12puzzle read a puzzle read a paragraph write one sentence count backwards think of it like turning the key in an old engine and letting it warm up my patient harold did this for twenty years at eighty nine years old his memory was sharper than many men in their sixties your brain is a muscle use it or lose it but use it early or you'll lose it fast final thoughts listen to a ninety one year old doctor who has seen too much if you remember nothing else remember this one of the
