Welcome to My House My Foundation with your host Dr. Maryam Yurad. Dr. Yurad will discuss the many issues that cause us to submit to a life that's less fulfilling and less healthy.
Maryam will investigate this national dilemma of poor health and lack of time for physical activity and offer simple yet concrete solutions to this growing problem. So now please welcome the host of My House My Foundation, Dr. Maryam Yurad. Welcome friends.
Welcome to BBM Global Network and Tune in Radio. The station has been bringing you shows for the past 25 years. And from the Health and Wellness section, we have a fantastic show here for you today called My House My Foundation. And I'm your very passionate and devoted host to my cause, Dr.
Maryam Yurad. And on My House My Foundation, we have a purpose here. We need to reach out to each person individually in America. America is a very health conscious nation.
Everywhere you turn, you see people that are physically fit in the media, lots of pictures on the media, on the magazine. Everywhere you turn, there's physical fitness. And when you look at the average American, it sort of doesn't match those front covers and all those magazines and videos and sport looks that you see. The average American actually does not fit into the picture of health.
And so this is my aim over here to talk about your house as your foundation. So we were looking to the life of each person individually. And today we're looking into fatherhood. So our case study guest today is Jim.
He's 48 years old and he's got two sons. He's very proud of his two sons. And one is already into a second year of college. And his younger son is going to be a freshman this year.
So Jim has a huge, huge financial burden on him. And you know what? To pay for a sense to a two sense education. They're going to get that wonderful education and get proper jobs.
He's adding on another job. So he works two jobs. And my goodness, when I talked to the family, the stress definitely shows through dad working two jobs is definitely not easy. And I ask him, what do you do?
How do you take care of yourself? And he was like, the conversation was all about his children. And dad was sort of missing from the picture. And I was trying to tell him the importance of having a father, not only in college, but you want to be there when the kids get married and for the grandchildren and they want to have a healthy grandfather.
So if you cannot do anything, you look at my house, my foundation. It provides you with a little basics of your house, the walls and the roof, they stand on a foundation. So if they're the minimum health and wellness that you invest in, it should be into your body's foundation. And you sort of didn't understand that.
But as we go along our conversation with him today. So I will, I will tell you in more detail of what my conversation was with his father, who's burdened with this huge financial load of putting his two sons through college. And his children, they want to get jobs, but he's like focused on your studies and any extra time you have a learner instrument. So they're musically inclined to learn a language, get taken extra course, you know, so he's pushing his sense academically without burdening them financially to get a job.
So so they will have a brighter future and be very talented. And his focus is on, on a good internship for his elders, and who will be going into his internship next year and third year of college. That's where they do the internships third and fourth year. So he is like taking all the burden on himself.
And as far as he goes, he has minus all of his needs. So he does not go to the gym, he does not take a walk in the park, they're the treadmill, they don't have any fitness equipment in the house. And so I was telling him that he needs to put himself on on his family map, he needs to be there for his wife, he needs to be there for his kids, he needs to be there a picture of health when the kids graduate. So he has, he's really troubled by the huge costs.
And so he is not putting himself into the pictures yet. And as we go on, I will explore over here the parenthood and fatherhood, because we're talking about fatherhood. And this father takes the stress of the family, his two sons going to college is on all his shoulders. And this is, he's not alone.
We have so many fathers out there, very responsible parents, very responsible fathers that want a good education for their children. And they're willing to go to any lengths, any sacrifice that they have to put in their time. I mean, he has no time at all. He works two full time jobs.
And you know, he's not alone. The percentage of people that work two full time jobs are amazing. And it's all for the family. They want to provide for their family, the children's needs their education, their extracurricular activities, their hobbies, their schooling, their growth in the future.
So he's putting himself out of the family picture and his kids are taking center place and we're trying to instill a little health and wellness into every situation. He got to have a little balance there because he can't be working two full time jobs that expect good health in the future. It takes its toll. Maybe he doesn't feel it now.
But 10 years, 20 years down the line, if you don't exercise continuously, your health is what suffers and the consequences you have to pay for them later on. So we're discussing Jim. He's 48 and he's a father of two very intelligent sons and his eldest son is now in his third year of college. So he is already into college and his second son this father will be starting his first year of college.
So he's got two sons and he's very proud of them. And he's taken on two jobs. So his health and fitness is really suffering at the cost of sitting on these two office jobs for the whole day. I mean the stress shows on his face and the smile has sort of vanished and all he is mind is like a calculator.
So he's calculating and adding in all the college costs, all the tuition, all the books, all the things the kids will need. And I'm like, well, they need all those things, but the children also need a father. So you have to take care of yourself. So if you can't do anything, you do a basic minimum that's take care of your body's foundation.
And that really is the minimum exercise necessary for everybody every day. So if you don't get up and about, you need to take care of your feet because you see the whole body stands on the feet, just like the house stands on the foundation. So the whole body's weight is on the foot and when you have an office job, which we will be talking a little bit later in detail, you sort of neglect your feet and everything is above the desk and your hands are moving and your feet definitely take the burden. And in a sedentary lifestyle is definitely definitely not what is desired, especially with two jobs.
So you don't even get that little movement that most people, they get up to in their house. So no movement, he's gaining weight, his clothes don't fit and he's not buying anything for himself. So it's definitely shows. His stress shows and his weight shows it.
Those dark circles under his eyes show and of course, medication is adding up and I was telling him that you need to put a little physical fitness into your routine because the kids, they of course, they need the tuition to be paid and they need the books and all those things, but they also need the father to be there. So we will be continuing our discussion on this fatherhood today and you're listening to My House, My Foundation on the BBM Global Network and Tune in Radio and I'm your host Dr. Maryam Murad and we'll be right back after this break. So stay tuned.
The earliest human societies worshipped a female goddess. Little is known about this time because we did not always have a written recorded history. It was around 3100 BC when the Sumerians invented the first written language and everything that preceded this time is prehistory. The prehistorical record includes all of women's unwritten history from 30,000 BC to the time that men began achieving political power around 3000 BC.
Male feminist artist Kimberly Berg maintains a strong position in educating and inspiring both men and women through his devotional art to the goddess and all women. Studying their history is paramount to understanding who women were and who they would become later living in a patriarchal society.

And I'm your host Dr. Miriam Merad and today's show is a wonderful show. It's a very serious and a very common topic today. We touch his fatherhood, you know, parents so we're looking at fatherhood and we're discussing Jim.
He's 48 years old with two sons. One in college and the younger one is going to be a freshman this summer and so Jim, he's taken up two jobs. He started that two years ago when his eldest son joined college and now his second one. So he definitely feels the pressure and if he could take a third job, believe it he would.
So but you know parents, parents was very special and definitely fatherhood. And it's very surprising that the word parent is a new word. It just came into the English vocabulary in 1663 and amazing. And so did the word granny.
So in 1663 the English language got two words. One was parent and the other one was granny. And I was thinking boy that's only 16th century. I mean, what did they call parents and granny before that?
And then parenthood. You know, parenthood is a state of being a parent and fatherhood is a state of being a father and our father, he became a father fairly young. And now he's 48 years got two young adult boys and very proud. And so the word actually parenthood is a very, very recent word.
It only came into the English vocabulary into the dictionary 1853. And that's really surprising parenthood came into the English language in 1853. I mean, that was a shocker to me also. And at that time, so did the word boredom and brain fog.
Those words also came into the English vocabulary in 1853. And I hope they're not related to the parenthood. But so did the words checklist and conservation of energy. So these are new terms that they're constantly being added as proper words and they're placed into the dictionary.
So these words came with parenthood in 1853. Can you believe that? Parenthood came into the word as a proper noun, as a proper English word found in the English dictionary in 1853. Parenthood isn't that a surprise?
Well, I tell you, when you become a parent, everything sort of goes off the mind. And all you can think about are your children and what's good for your children. Like our father here, he's got his two sons going to college. And all he thinks about is his eldest son getting good grades and they should have no distractions.
So they don't need, you know, the children don't need to work because dad is working two jobs and they need to get a good internship, which will get them a good job. And then they will get into a reputable company and hopefully get a good salary, good bonus, good benefits, health and insurance pension plan, refund plans. So he's got everything calculated out and he's always got this mentalist and this mental calculator going on, all the cost and he's got a list of companies and what they offer. And he and men is eldest son.
They frequently have these long discussions and I don't really have much time, but whatever community he has here and there on the weekend or in between his two jobs, he spends with his children, which is just fabulous. And I was telling his children that you need to, instead of sitting down and talking with dad, when he talks to you, why don't you take a little stroll outside your driveway just walk and talk because he sits all the day and that says it's sort of hard for him to talk and walk at the same time. He sort of is better focused on conversation when he's sitting down, but gosh, he stays sitting down the whole day, not one job, but two jobs, two full time jobs. And so he's sitting down the whole day and I was telling us that next time he wants to talk to you, just grab his hand and pull him up and go walk outside.
He needs some fresh air, you know, so whatever few minutes you get to talk with dad on the weekend or evening, it doesn't matter what time it is, you know, it's your house. So get out there on the driveway and even late at night, it feels good. It's a nice breeze blowing, the temperature's nice, the sun's not there and just walk. So whatever few minutes you have spent talking with dad and walk.
And so you will also develop this habit of walking because it's like father like son. So whatever habits and character and choices, the father has the same likes and dislikes, the son also sort of has those same social habits. So that's probably why both of them are not walking because they both like to sit and talk. And so he nods his head, his elder son, and he says, okay, I'll try.
That's a good boy. Your father needs a little physical activity, he needs to spend some time on his feet. So whenever any definitely, whatever time he has, he will talk to his son and ask how his day was and how actually how the grades are going. And you know, what his plans are for the future and what everybody else is doing and what the teacher mentioned and did they have any job fairs.
So he's very directed toward the future. And so now this little small habit, so five, 10 minute walk at the end of the day because he's old school, you know, Jim is old school. He likes to talk at the end of the day with his family. And he was telling me that when he was young, his father used to do the same thing around the dinner table.
They used to talk and it was a conversation of how school went and how the homework was and what assignments they had. And generally talk about the positive aspects and if the kids were having any trouble, dad would help them. And so he also likes to talk, but he doesn't have that much time. And he comes home late.
So the kids have already had their dinner. And it's just a few words of checking in onto his two sons and seeing how their classes are progressing and what assignments the professor has given and any words of advice or any school fair or they're having some special teacher come and give a talk or they're having a guest speaker. So he's really into not only the education but their extracurricular activities. So this is a little bit new habit forming in their family, the post-dinner walk and talk.
So you just hold dad's hand and sort of direct him out the door and while he's still talking in. And you have a casual stroll of five, 10, 15, how many minutes you talk, just sort of a light walk. It doesn't have to be stressful, but you just need some slight movement put into the day and actually dance having trouble breathing. His son was telling me that he can't talk while he's walking it.
That's really not the good sign. So we're looking into the life of Jim in fatherhood on My House, My Foundation, on the BBN Global Network and tune in radio. And I'm your host, Dr. Maryam Merad.
And we'll be right back after this short break. So stay tuned. From Inside Kitchens Across the Globe, he also teaches traditional French baking by hosting demonstrations in classes. And his passion for baking is reflected in his delicious confections.

Welcome friends. Welcome back to my house, my foundation on the BBM Global Network and Tune in Radio. I'm your host, Dr. Mary Maran and today we're looking into the life of a fatherhood, one father who's 48 years of age and he's got two sons going to college, working two jobs and has absolutely no time for the gym or any other type of physical activity.
I mean, the time he doesn't, the thought doesn't cross his mind. So I have asked his son because he likes to talk to his children. So when dad wants to talk to you, hold his hand and slowly walk out the door and just walk five, ten minutes on the drive while dad is talking to you know, you got to get dad up and about. And actually, you know, dad is not, was not born in the US, so he is hard working.
And I tell you ethnic parents, the father has double load on his shoulders because lots of ethnic moms, they're homemakers. So the wife doesn't work, you know, she, well, not to say it doesn't work. There's a lot of work around the house also, but she's a homemaker. So she does the cooking, the cleaning, everything around the house.
So dad is the one who brings in the income. And there's a disparity in the first-ended second-generation immigrants. So the second-generation immigrants, they generally have lived here longer and they have sort of more, had some education into the American system and they have higher paying jobs rather than the first generation immigrants. So those immigrants that are born in the US, they actually have a better education and they have better jobs as compared to the first-generation immigrants.
So it really doesn't matter which ethnicity you have. It just matters that if you were born here, you have a better education because you've been through the education system from schooling and college, so you end up with a better job and your English is better. So those immigrants that come the first generation, English is the second language and lots of moms, they don't speak English. So it's generally the father who speaks English and he's the one, he's a bread-durner and the wife, they stay home.
And that's generally how most of the immigrant families are, that the husband works and the wife sort of is a caretaker. She said home and so there's a lot of stress on the father because he provides for the entire family and mom is doing the budget. Well that's also stressful but she's at home and dad is the one that's working. So the stress on the fathers is phenomenal.
They carry the burden and here's one interesting fact is in 2010, the minimum wage of $16.79, so about $17 an hour was what was required to support a family that had one teenager, one college going adult, young adult and one in school. And that was about $17 and it's a big type but that was a minimum wage threshold for immigrant men workers. And by 2015, would you believe 7.8 million people? They have two full-time jobs?
Yeah, 716 about the same by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a two full-time job so that's extremely extremely stressful. And my aim here is to tell you how to incorporate one exercise, how to incorporate some physical activity in your day. So we're talking to dad over here, fatherhood, very serious. And so I was telling him, you said, and he says that I can't think, so when I'm in the office, my concentration is on my work and I can't really think about my health.
And I said, well, you sit two full-time jobs at 16 hours sitting and then you sit in the car driving and coming back. So you put a half hour an hour going to work and coming back. So you basically sit entry most of the day. So I'm trying to get him to do these small things like he's got a beeper on his watch.
So every hour the watch is wristwatch beeps and I want him to stand up. So if you're doing something, whatever you're doing, you just stand up and you stand up. So the foot takes your weight and you stand up, the body aligns and you stand up and then you can sit down and continue your work. And I suggested that he put his printer scanner everything a little bit farther from him.
So if he needs a little stapler or a pen or pencil, he has to physically get up and go get it rather than have everything around you so you can quickly use it. So you have to stand up and take a few steps to the printer. Take a few steps to the scanner. If you want your mail, put it a little bit farther so you have to get up and walk around your desk and you put these little movements in the day.
So you don't sit completely. It's like you go to work at eight in the morning and you sit the lunchtime and there's absolutely no movement. And so this allows you a little bit of physical activity because you need that. And he's still young.
He's only 48. So we want dad to be in good health 10, 20, 15, 30, 40 years from now. And I was telling him, okay, come lunch time. So what you do is he works right through lunch time.
And I said, well, that's excellent. But lunch time, you need to spend a little bit of time to yourself. And so what you do is have a glass of water at lunchtime and go to the staircase and go up the stairs and down the stairs. And if you don't like the staircase because the staircase is not air conditioned.
So if you want to stay within the building, just walk down the corridor, walk up and down the long corridor, at least for 15, 20 minutes. So you get some physical activity and then you can come sit down and enjoy your lunch. And that sounded like a good idea. You know, he didn't say anything, but I can tell from his expression, and he was shaking his head that yes, that's a big possibility that at lunchtime, that was more likely instead of doing a little small things at lunchtime, he would actually go.
And I told him if you can, if you want to walk up and down the stairs, what you do is have another pair of shoes. So you're not walking in your office shoes, which is not that comfortable. And he says, okay, you'll keep a second pair of sneakers there. And I said, you know, Jim, what you do is put your sneakers on.
Go to the top floor, his office is six floors high. Go to the top floor and walk around the corridor. Go to the elevator, come down one floor, walk the fifth floor, take the elevator down to the fourth floor, walk around the corridor and the fourth floor is like a circle. Come down, take the elevator to the third floor, walk around the third floor is a circle.
So you walk the corridor, get down to the second floor, you walk around in a circle, come down to the ground floor, you repeat that circular walk, and then you can take your elevator back to your floor. And this way you will stay within the air conditioned building and you won't really have to go to the staircase, which is not air conditioned. So he sort of like that. And we're looking into the life of fatherhood.
One father here on My House My Foundation on the BPM Global Network and Tune in Radio. And I'm your host, Dr. Maryam Murad. And we'll be right back after this short break.

Welcome to My House, My Foundation on the BBM Global Network and Tune in Radio. I'm Dr. Mary Maran, your host. Today we're talking about fatherhood.
How one father can put in physical activity into his busy schedule of working two jobs while he's trying to put his two sons into college without burdening them to go find a job and he wants his sons to ace it, perfect, ace students, they're very intelligent, hardworking and he doesn't want them to work at these low paying jobs which take a lot of time and put in lots of distractions to being a straight ace student. But the children are very interested in finding a job and actually so the elder son is looking into a job on campus as assistant to his professor, his teacher there, so that's very good. And since he's such an intelligent student, his computer teacher has offered him a part-time so dad approves of that and he says yes, it's in your line of work, not at one of these fast good places, that's good. So he'll gain from it and he'll have good experience and he's a good student, so more power to you and I wish him all the luck.
But you know the children, they work very, very long hours and it's sometimes hard to when you're studying, you have so many credits, so much homework to do and then the children take the burden on themselves of finding a job and I tell you in 2018 the second generation children that were born in the US so that means that they had at least one foreign born parent, 88 percent, you know, they were about 18 years of age. So that's a very, very large percentage of students that are looking to have their college tuition paid and lots and lots of students are appearing on the job force today and you know, so the whole thing sort of works together because now how jobs are going, instead of having a full-time job, people are looking into part-time jobs. So his sense, even though the focus is dad says you don't need a job, they still search it out the other way, the corner of the eye, they're still looking at every type of job that they can get and so dad's working but they want dad to not have two full-time jobs, maybe he have a full-time job and a part-time job. So dad can at least rest and so his elder son feels the responsibility that he needs to work but so dad doesn't want him to work and he wants him to focus on his academics and so now since I met him, I've been working with this family and he sort of waits for his father to come home and and they have their evening talking and he's his duty to walk his dad whether dad has dinner or not, you know, he probably has had it in the office because he works two full-time jobs and when he gets home it's pretty late but I mean his elder son is waiting and his dad, I'm sure you didn't get up and walk in the office and and no he's got you know but in the evening he walks and he talks to his son so they've added that little stroll outside at night before they go to bed and so that's since 15-20 minutes a walk and so he sort of you know you change into after that office attire which is not really comfortable for a walk as Ty is built and a little bit more comfortable with t-shirt shorts and and some easy walking shoes and it's nice and breezy outside at night so they're enjoying a casual stroll and his younger son is now looking into a part-time in the summer because in America the trend now is having smaller jobs so people are sort of getting into part-time jobs instead of having long full-time jobs and and the employer is seeing the trend here they have put up more money into smaller jobs, smaller part-time jobs rather than full-time jobs because in full-time jobs they don't come with the health benefit the pension plan that they used to and the perks are sort of gone and now it's more the wage so they add up the wages so the wage goes up a little bit and it's part-time employment so that is the trend now and that makes it easier for the young people to get jobs because the requirements aren't really there they don't really have to have so much qualification and they're not really getting the health insurance or the pension plan or the benefits of the bonuses but what the employers do is they perk up the salary a little bit so now you get a little bit more salary and the jobs are more available and they're offered on a part-time basis so his younger son in the summer he's looking you know he's like Dan says okay for the summer so he's looking for a part-time job there and I was telling him that you know this is some time that you need to spend with your father also because the younger son will be going off to another stage you know it's another university in a distant in a distant state so he won't really get that time with dad and and I was like um if you're looking for a job why don't you look for a job in your dad's office uh this way at least he can have lunch together and and at lunchtime you know you can walk with him and and he sort of likes that idea so he's looking into a job in his dad's office and hopefully the elder son might also get a job his internship in the dad's office so the father and the two sons they really have a very good relationship and and they correlate and talk to each other daily and I was telling them that you know you voice a little bit what's your exercise in a dad and get much exercise but neither do you uh you're young and handsome right now so you feel you don't feel the need to exercise but that's the thing exercise is a habit and you develop your habits at the younger age of life and if nothing else they're they're young they're active so nothing else uh take up some some soft exercise like walking with dad or take up a little stronger aerobic exercise like the stairs so um you go up the stairs up and down once and up and down twice and we used to do this and we used to do 14 steps so you go up and down once and then two sets so a couple of sets and and try doing that and it's sort of like a vigorous exercise and I was telling the two boys then even when you're in college try to take the stairs and anything have a little bit of time go up and down the stairs a couple of times before you finally make it up and so you incorporate little exercise in the day and and make it your habit so think around like lunchtime so uh before you have your lunch you know lunchtime is coming and drink some water there and then you put in some exercise so we'll continue talking about this after the break here and we're talking about Jim here on my house my foundation on the BPM Global Network and Tune in Radio and I'm your host Dr.

Maryam Marad and today we're looking into the life of one person and that is my aim to improve the life of one person at a time I may not be able to change the entire world but I can change the world for that one person so today we're looking into Jim's life he's 48 years old he's got two sons going to college and the stress of financially putting two sons into college this is academic so they're into a solid four years of engineering and that's taken a toll on his life and he doesn't really get the time for physical activity and I was telling him that you know you need to incorporate like you eat your lunch wherever you are you know you don't really have to go to the restaurant you have your sandwich there with you so your bot is with you you got your internals you don't really have to go to the gym learn to use your internal gym and your gym is with you so I know you're wearing your your tie and suit and got your good office clothes and good shoes on and you don't really want to have a full workout but but put movement in there so by the hour stand-up and if you cannot stand up you sort of move your feet so people don't realize that when they're working the hands are moving but the foot and the legs they just don't move and a lot of people tell me oh you know I take my shoes off and at the end of the day I can't get my shoes back on my foot is swollen and and that's a poor circulation for you because gravity holds everything down and all you got to do is stand up and when you can't stand up move your toes you know wiggle your toes and move your feet or change the position of your feet a little bit and a little goes a long way so improve your posture every hour you might want to stand up but every 15 minutes some sort of wiggle your shoulders you know stretch your back and just sort of improve on your posture and I was telling Jim you know what put a side mirror there one of these stand-up ones so you can see yourself slouching over the desk because we don't see ourselves but we see other people doing it and it's easier to comment on the other person than to improve ourselves so I was like one of these narrow long mirrors that you have with the stand just put it so you can see yourself on the side and that's like a check so the best check is when you check yourself and and as you grow older you know you cross around 50 your posture is the best thing that you need to keep it in check and order because that is what your body is and if you let your posture go the whole body sort of slouch is and slumps over and and once you let it go it becomes harder to to get back up and some people they cannot even hold their head straight because the neck is not not strong and there's so many neck problems and all from poor posture so if you just as I was telling him put one of these standing mirrors at the side of your your desk so you can see yourself and and it gives you you can check yourself so that's like positive criticism coming without any negative you just check yourself and you check your posture and at the same time you need to keep your posture because when we age we sort of shrivel down you know this hunch we were always hunched over office desk and that's where our poor posture comes in because we stay in that posture this hunched over posture for hours without really being conscious of it and so by putting this little mirror on the side you will see yourself and sort of correct your posture and when you stand up you will be able to stand up tall like your house the foundation supports the walls and the roof and the foundation cannot be crooked it has to be properly aligned very solid and stable otherwise the walls won't stand and the roof and were like the tall skyscraper so so you need to keep your your body in the correct alignment just like a house and you focus on if nothing else your feet so you keep moving your feet wiggle the toes it gets a movement in there and if you want to take the shoes off and you know you can and a lot of people have these these foot rests so elevate the foot a little bit and and you know that's good and and move the position of your feet we don't think about that but if you put that beeper on your watch like Jim has so by the hour it beeps and and you stand up and you and you get up and do something so you if nothing else you know if you don't need to go to the printer or the scanner or fax machine get up and go get a few sips of water and and put your water bottle not on your desk put it down the side tables you actually have to get up and walk over a few steps and take it so I'm trying to incorporate some physical activity which which he needs to do because he works two office jobs two full-time office jobs and he sits the entire day without movement and sooner or later something will catch up with you so you need to incorporate a little something and the minimum that you do is take care of your feet because you want to be mobile and active and so he likes the idea of walking at lunchtime so kind of lunchtime he's now drinking his bottle of water and then he walks he puts on his sneakers it takes off his good office shoes and he walks around the office either on the same floor or goes up on the elevator he sort of just likes to walk on the same floor as okay you know whatever works he just need to move if you want to walk on different floors he can or if you just want to go in circles on your own floor because it's a long circle and his office building is circular and it has a corridor so he he can just walk in there so he walks 15-20 minutes and and then he will come to his desk sit down and have his lunch so he's sort of incorporating a little physical movement in the office at lunchtime and then when he gets home in the evening he likes to talk to his elder son who's a little bit more advanced than the younger one who's just starting off in fall in college and his older son has got a job now in the computer lab working with his teacher and so he's also looking into internships next year so there's lots of discussion between father and son they have excellent relationship and and so the son now holds his dad's innocence that let's go walk outside and it's a casual stroll and and now Jim he sort of he likes it you know i'm a little bit fresh here he does not get any fresh here at all and so i'm so happy to be able to have made the difference to a father who's so devoted and his health was going down because of his two full-time jobs and we're talking to Jim over here about fatherhood on my

tune in radios my house my foundation and i'm your host dr maryam marad and today we've been talking about jim about fatherhood and this relates to a lot of fathers who take the stress the financial burden onto their shoulders increasing their workload taking on an extra job i mean they're already working a full-time job then they take a second full-time job and that's to pay their their children's college tuition those numbers keep rising but those uh... tuitions they have to be paid so the children can have a bright future and his two sons his eldest son is now third year and he's looking into an internship next summer and he's already got a job on campus and that does not want him to work anything in the fast food restaurants and the younger son will be joining college this fall and both of them are straight-A students and that's what dad wants them to be able to focus on their their studies and not to think about money but it's hard not to when dad is working two full-time jobs and and the kids are sort of focusing on their education but but this is the price of fatherhood uh you want to give the best to your children and this is how the children can repay them by by having good grades and and having a good job you know uh and and dad's happy when he sees you successful he'll be happy and and and what i've done today is um i've been talking to jim how he can incorporate some physical activity because the stress is so much and he's not going to go into a jim membership and he's not going to invest in any of these fitbit gadgets but the old-fashioned way of walking so he's keeping a pair of sneakers next to his office this year and come lunchtime he likes the idea of having a bottle of water so when lunchtime comes he takes a bottle of water and then he walks around the office corridors for the next 20 minutes and that's his exercise and then he comes back and sits down he enjoys his luncheon and then he takes it easy for a little bit and well there's this 40-45 minutes of lunch well used and he puts his exercise into lunch time and for him it's sort of hard to put a beeper on his watch and stand up by the hour and i have suggested for him to walk in and and you know by the hour go to the printer and print and for him he just likes to sit so once he comes he's not getting up to lunchtime but come lunchtime he's going to get his bottle of water and walk around the office so that's a good habit that he has it has learned over here and you know what since he works two full-time jobs so when this job finishes his first job he also takes another second bottle of water and he walks at least 15 minutes so so that's good i i put in the lunch walk time and this at the end of the day and i'm trying to keep the dads healthy because dads take the stress of sacrificing themselves for their families they have the choice between paying for the gym and spending time at the gym and improving their health and fitness but you know when fathers they take on a second job so so they don't pay for the gym memberships but they're paying for the children's needs the children's institutions their books their extracurricular activities and what don't the kids have now so they know dad loves them and and and this is what the kids can get back and this is when his son is giving back to him he waits for the father to come home in the evening at late at night and they have a stroll outside in the driveway you know outside and they talk about the day how was your day so instead of sitting down just have a little small walk outside and a little a few minutes a 10-15 minute walk it goes a long way you walk every day the steps add up and this is my aim my aim is to incorporate some physical activity into the lives of busy people who do not have the time to get to the gym and i say hey why did you use your internal gym and today we're been looking at the life of gym and he's a father and so this was our show today
