BDO: When you found out you were at risk, was it easy for you to make those necessary lifestyle changes?
Rev Run: It kind of scared me knowing that I’m at risk. It put me in a position of “Wow, I’m getting older.” I’m always thinking about my health all day, every day, all day as I’m getting older, so it prompts me to change my diet. Someone asked me today, what did I want to eat and I said, just get me a turkey burger. Years ago, I would have said, just get me a burger. But now it’s a turkey burger. Not that big of a difference, but big enough. If I’m eating breakfast, I’ll ask for turkey bacon. Anything I can do to change. Or if I’m going to drink something with a sweet taste, just give me a diet cola or I’ll just take water. Or if the waiter will come, I’ll say no bread please. We don’t fry anything in the house anymore. My wife came up with these great recipes that you can find on AskScreenKnow.com where we have this unfried chicken. She also has these great crispy brussel sprouts, so there’s a lot of things.
Then there’s Diggy. He’s super healthy, so we have a food police in our house. These days our kids are pushing us and reminding us. Everything on social media is health is wealth. People are filming themselves lifting weights and all this great health conscious talk. I’ve been saying health is wealth for years and now it’s a big deal to everybody. I’m just happy I made some changes. I’m not saying I’m in the perfect health, but I walk everyday. I’ve seen someone say, “You need to lift some weights Rev,” but I don’t let them push me. I’m not in a health competition. I’m going to make my way around this track four times. Maybe not as fast as you Diggy, but I’ll get there. I walk every day. I have my stepper. No carbs for you? That’s cool, you have your nutritionist. I’m gonna have a little. Its always something where I change a little and the gradual changes are good for me. And I’m not in competition with anyone.
Justine: We also learned about brown rice pasta from Daniel. It’s much lighter and its really great. We have the chicken where we kinda bake high and it tastes just as good. They’re crispy. We used to have potato chips on our counter where you can walk by and grab some, but now we have fruit. Like bananas. We have grapes. We have watermelon already cut.
