NBA Legend Goes Vegan, Wants to Live Another 60 Years | John Salley | The Exam Room Podcast

John Salley was one of the "Bad Boys" of the NBA and one of the stars of the Bad Boys movie franchise. But he's also doing good things to improve his health and inspire others.
The 60-year-old has a goal to spend the next 60 years of his life teaching the world about health and wellness. And for Salley, that begins with his plant-based diet.
He joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to peel back the curtain on his transition from the basketball court to Hollywood and health world.
Topics discussed:
- Has he ever gotten Bad Boys co-stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence to try vegan food?
- Detoxing with food to get healthy
- Barriers to optimal nutrition in NBA
- Betta Life Nutrition
- Comparing the body to a Formula 1 car
- Juice vs. whole fruit
- Chinese sweet potatoes
- Are fake meats healthy?
- And more!

12 years strong plant-based and it's been the best decision I made!

Just 60 more years? As a Christian, WF omni., I get great food + eternal life.🤓🙏

[@chiyerano]

You are talking about the afterlife which is fine, but he is talking about here and now which is important, too.

[@Unmasking_Viandalisme]

​@@chiyerano Planet boat has hit the ice cube & is sinking, as foretold. V is irrelevant. Eternal life begins with the acknowledgement of Christ Jesus, so isn't separate from 'here & now'.

[@chiyerano]

@@Unmasking_Viandalisme Actually, the 'here & now' is separate from eternal life. I don't know what 'Planet boat' you are talking about but the Earth is God's footstool and isn't going anywhere, it is just changing. Plenty of people who accepted and acknowledged Christ Jesus and may have eternal life but are dropping dead like flies in the 'here and now'. They cheated themselves of time here on Earth even though they may have an eternal afterlife. You don't have to look very far to see examples of what I am talking about.

[@chiyerano]

I don't know what 'planet boat' you are talking about but according to the Bible, the Earth is God's footstool and isn't going anywhere, it is just changing. It is also written that everyone dies and will be up for judgement. Some will be given eternal life, others not. Plenty of people who have acknowledged and accepted Christ Jesus who are dropping dead or have dropped dead like flies here and now. So eternal life is separate from here and now.

[@Unmasking_Viandalisme]

@@chiyerano Planet boat is the collection of previously, fairly stable nations, which are being dismantled; politically, economically & societally. Babylon is falling & nothing will prevent it! Accepting God's offer of eternal life, through faith in Christ Jesus, means an instant transition from the fleshy state, to the spiritual state. I know the material. You're interpretation of my comments is too literal.

[@KJSvitko]

Go vegan for your health, whole food plant based. Go vegan for the animals. Go vegan for the planet. Go vegan and be healthier and happier. A lower risk of heart disease and cancer for you and a better planet for everyone, human and animals. Eating healthy is not a diet it is a healthy life style. Go out and look around. The vast majority of people you see are obese or al least over weight. People do not need to be fat shamed BUT being over weight is not healthy and leads to a host of illnesses. When you look around you can see all the unhealthy people without taking a blood test or a fitness test "NORMAL" for the average American is "UNHEALTHY" The health of society is in decline.

[@Unmasking_Viandalisme]

WF omni. has better provenance (Blue Zones) & has been serving me well. Eating 'healthy' is simply a diet.. but "You do you!".👍

[@HarlemGreatest]

John did a whole lot of useless nonsensical rambling

[@Combative_Dissident]

Do you mean dribbling?🏀🤭🤣🏀

[@adelineamador8832]

He was preaching! Maybe you missed it?
