Hi, everybody from Nashville. I'm Skip Oram, and this is the Anchor Point podcast. Hi, everybody from the Nashville Studios of the X BHS Radio Network. I'm Skip Oram, and this is the November 11th, 2022 episode of the Anchor Point Podcast. This is Veterans Day today in the United States. So let me give a quick shout out and a thank you for your service to all of my fellow veterans listening to Anchor Point today. Anchor Point is the Faith and Fitness podcast with the goal of helping us older folks, baby boomers, in their sixties and seventies and beyond, stay faithful, stay fit, and live alone, healthy, happy life. Just a quick reminder that the Anchor point disease, fighting and fitness model has seven elements, faith, diet, exercise, attitude, positive imagery, music and research. We focused a lot on the positive imagery element over the last several episodes, and then last week we moved into the diet element and we're gonna continue to focus on that diet element on today's episode.

A few days ago, I was thinking about this month of November, and so I started going through my music library to search any songs about November. What I found is I went through my iTunes library that there are quite a few songs about November, and some of them are pretty good, but almost all of them are, well, they're sort of downers and I really want us to think of the month of November in a more positive and uplifting way because after all, having a positive attitude is one of the seven elements of the anchor point disease, fighting and fitness model. Everybody, I think that we should move through this month of November thinking of it as a month of blessings, healing, and renewal. Let's do this. Let every drop of November rain and especially the November snowflakes, remind us of people in our life past and present who we'd love so much. I think November is like sitting in a theater. The orchestra's tuning up,
A hush coming over the crowd, the lights are darkening. Can't you feel the anticipation? Our next act is about to begin. Something wonderful is going to happen to us. November is the prelude. I want you all to have a great November everybody.

This is anchor point's medical news for seniors. The four hidden dangers from sugar. Every older adult needs to know, and we're focusing specifically on added sugar. That's sugar that's either added by you or by the manufacturer. Think table sugar, brown sugar, agave, corn syrup, honey, molasses, danger number one, it's loaded with calories, but those calories are useless. They have no nutritional benefit. Danger number two, sugar's harmful effects get worse with age. Since we're older, it's more difficult for our bodies to burn calories, so why do we wanna add useless calories with sugar? All that does is make our efforts to stay at a healthy weight that much more difficult. And as we get older, our bodies become less effective at regulating sugar in the bloodstream and high levels of sugar in our bloodstream can damage organs in our bodies danger. Number three, listen to this. Sugar intake can shorten your lifespan and danger. Number four, eating sugar is habit forming. The more you eat, the more you want. Sugar can kill you, everybody, and that is your anchor point. Medical news for seniors for today,
