housecall". >> welcome.h2 joinsing us as alwaysi÷.ñ marc siegel and author of "the inner pulse unlo$i'g the secret code of sickness and health". >> and dr. david samadi, chief of robotic surgery. good to see you both. >> hello. >> doctors, hello. >> we start today with a breakthrough, they say. a new study about aspirin. you take one of those baby aspirins? >> i took one two days ago. >> you do it almost every day. >> i know. >> talk to your doctor about it. >> here they are. >> a new study about aspirin therapy. they say it does help prevent heart attacks andw3 colorectal cancer. but they say the guidelines aren't without serious side effects. dr. siegel, first, we've talking about baby aspirin, popping one acwl day is a miracle potential live. should you take baby aspirin and what does this new study show? >> i want to start with a word of caution out there. aspiriy is an over-the-counter medication. no matter what8#f we say, no mar what davidóú

9:33 am
and i use it in those areas. plus, the risk of colon cancer goes down by about 40% a year because it's an anti-inflammatory. >> dr. samadi,2íñ you're shakin your head. >> i think this is big news. whenever u.s. task force make a bigqárecommendation, it's important for people to pay attention to this. because now they're talking about public. but everyone's risk is different when it comes to tocolon cancer everyone's risk of bleeding is different.cso you have to pay attention who what's going on. they look at thousands in)sn th clinical trial. if you're between the ages of 50 to 59, this is the group that if they have 10% risk of heart attack and they're planning to be around for the next ten years, and if you take aspirin for anñ long period, over six t ten years, you may have lower risk of getting colon cancer.
9:34 am
how do they find out about this? it's observational study, meaning they are using aspirin to prevent heart disease and then they said, wait a second, this group that was on aspirin had lower chance so maybe it will help them. over the age of,vlthere was notf2dt a lot of help. and this has nothing to do with 5 o under the age of 50. you have to be really careful. i'm not necessarily convinced that this is really the big gun over here. we know that a lot of times when there's cancer in the colon you need a vehicle to get it out, which is something called profit toe glandens. aspirin prevents it. there is some truthe5 don-%vthi. i think if you're at a high risk of colon cancer, if you have genetic s+áq"isposition, which arthur brings up, i think it's a good discussion with your doctor, should i go on aspirin? by the way, this wasn't always 81 milligram aspirin. in this particular study it was 325 and ]aóht mixed one. so when you start taking higher doses, bleeding from ulcers, as
9:35 am
you get older, you have higher side effects. >> i want to hone back in. you're rigw i want to ask about the genetic predisposition. i start with you, dr. marc, on that one. dr. samadi said if you're in that group i think from 50 to 59 -- >> that's the highest benefit from taking the aspirin. >> because if you have a high risk for heart attack. how do you know if it's not in your family. >> actually, 50 to 59 is the better group because over 60 your point about genetic predisposition, that's very interesting. it's family history. it's whether you're a smoker. it's whether you're a drinker. it's what your cholesterol is. let me tell you what's actually happening on the artery level. arteries are filling with plaque, whether they're arteries feeding the heart or arteries feeding the brain. they're filling with sticky plaque. when that plaque breaks, guess what forms on it?:/ñ a clot. when a clot forms, you get a heart attack or stroke. guess what prevents this? there comes the aspirin.
9:36 am
it prevents the platelets from forming clot. >> aspirin thins your blood ff prevents the clot from forming and thereby decreases your risk of heart attack or stroke. >> there are cells in thee)á÷ c that may be prevented by aspirin that reduces inflammation and reduces colon cancer. these are theories out there that no one knows for sure. i think the big take-home message is number one make sure you understand that aspirin is not toocwñ replace your colonos. this is an important message to &-jjjdt aspirin so i won't go for my screening. that's a big pfeno-no. have a discussion with your doctor. and i think the u.s. task force is looking at the ch7mgpublic, that's 90% of colon cancer, which is the third leading cause of !k8 year, happens over the age of 50. that's when weuñe think that aspirin may help. personally, i don't know if you take aspirin or not. >> i take it because i have a family history ofpã heart disea and i have high cholesterol. >> good point. >> i want to emphasize something
9:37 am
david is saying, which is the first time any guidelines have done this for the point of view of colon cancer. exciting. 21v] not instead of a colonoscopy. >> my father died of colon cancer. you have family hiss friday ofx heart disease. bottom line, you should tell p &h(lc% i think aspirin is a miracle. >> 81 milligrams. >> 81 mill glams. if you have it in your family absolutely and you have other risk fact rz. >> dr. marc says doctor because the blood thinner could c medications. >> get a colonoscopy, please. >> but long-/ effects of aspirin, is not to be ignored. livtoxicity, bleeding, et cetera is important. don't take it casually. >> thanks, docs. you think you recovered from that sprained ankle. a new study is showing that you actually could have lifelong consequences. we're going to talk about that oíth the docs when we come back. why do so many people choose aleve?

9:50 am
we talk about everything that worries us every week. i don't shower every day. should i worry? they don't shower every day? don't sit next to them. >> i don't think they should worry. i have to say full disclosure i shower every day. i have very oily skin. not everybody has very oily skin. let me tell you what the dermatologists would want me to say. very hot water leads to bleaching out oils of the skin. same thing with detergent soap and sulfate shampoos. all of that will bleach you out and you lose your oils and the good bacteria. so moisturizer right after you
9:51 am
shower. take short showers. do not use excess hot water. only soap areas like under your arms, groin, places that get kind of smelly. that is where you want to soap. >> it's great to have nice long hot shower. >> sure. >> i'm glad he is taking showers on sunday morning. otherwise it is possible over here. it is good that all the oily areas are cleaned up. i think it depends on exactly what your skin is and depends on your age. as we get older the fat under the skin gets shorter. we will not have oil glands. the secret behind this is if you are taking a long hot shower you are going to have dry skin and you want to use moisturizer. the biggest thing i want to know is the cloths in the shower,
9:52 am
make sure that you don't leave them there and also because that is a source of bacteria. if you use them every month you should get rid of them. that is a good investment in yourself and keep them dry. don't leave them in the shower. for your hair especially for your hair if you have thin hair get rid of the sulfate shampoos because that really messes up your hair especially when you use a lot of conditioner and fragrant shampoos and soap is not good for you. >> if you were taking care of an aging parent you notice their skin starts to slough off. what do you do to help them? can you do a wipe down? >> moistureizing creams are really important because you are presenting this in just a right way. the skin is a barrier against infection. skin starts to get excessively dried out especially in an older
9:53 am
person they can get infected. want to add one other point to using the puffs, you can use a wash cloth. just keep changing it all the time. >> i think bathing is much better than hot shower because it dries them up. what mark was talking about, certain places like arms and legs you don't need to continue to scrub because that is not where the concentration of oil is. >> antibacterial soap. >> i'm glad you brought it up. if you look for these natural soaps don't waste your money because a lot of the ingredients are absolutely waste of your time. don't go for fragrance ones or any colors. those are not good. look for sulfate. that is a no-no. >> the ones that say this is special. you pay a fortune for that. get the ones that don't have detergent in them. >> telling me we got to go. could it be the new superfood?
9:54 am
doctors weigh in on benefits of beet root juice. we always were told we were german. we were in a german dance group. i wore lederhosen. so i just started poking around on ancestry. then, i decided to have my dna tested through ancestry dna. it turns out i'm scottish. so, i traded in my lederhosen for a kilt.

9:58 am
>> you ask out of all the sunday housecall segments, major superantioxidants and one of my favorite ones is beet root juice. it can reduce inflammation and purify your liver. it has a lot of nitrates which your body converts to nitric oxide. this is a treatment for blood pressure which is tremendous. in women it's amazing. they can increase your iron level so if you are in your menstrual cycle this can be helpful. it can help with your good cholesterol. it can help with your cholesterol and reduces an inflammatory process in your heart. my favorite. >> you buy it. >> these are beets or beet root?
9:59 am
>> beets itself is good for you. beets when you cook them a lot of nitrates you lose some of those nitrates. nitrates help you with muscle function and lower your blood pressure. i am also a fan of beet root juice. it has folate, potassium and loaded with fiber so the sugar in your body is absorbed in the right place. >> you would rather do the root? >> buy it in the health food store. don't get only the commercial kind. >> you have a lot of vitamin c which for this time of year winter is coming up, try to build up your immune system. also for a lot of athletes. since they use a lot of their muscles this is a great relaxant for athletes. >> it looks like it may work for
