In this episode, Dr. Jack dives into the health difficulties from the “holiday diet.” From Thanksgiving through the New Year’s celebration, there is an uptick of sugary foods at the ready and an over indulgence, throwing a curve ball to the immune system. Additionally, Dr. Jack discusses heart disease and ankle swelling. If you didn’t know, your ankles are not suppose to swell. Now, if one ankle is swelling, that’s likely more of a lymphatic issue. Dr. Jack addresses these issues and how they pertain to high blood pressure.Next up, Jack covers bone density, how to measure it and when to know if there could be an issue.  Tying into the topics addressed, Dr. Jack also addresses Big Pharma’s advertising to convince 90% of people in America that there are blood pressure issues running rampant and the only way to address it is with medications for the rest of your life. This raises the question, “Are the standards outdated?”Lastly, Doug joins to answer listener questions with Dr. Jack, including warnings about the risks of taking melatonin and how it correlates with an increased risk of heart disease, what sleep aids work with minimal side effects, and more. Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks
