00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:01.241
Think about that for a minute.
00:00:01.241 --> 00:00:02.201
What are they saying to you?
00:00:02.201 --> 00:00:05.865
This is the future of foundational nutrition.
00:00:05.865 --> 00:00:07.668
One scoop once a day.
00:00:07.668 --> 00:00:08.368
Did you hear it?
00:00:08.368 --> 00:00:15.336
They're making you feel like you're old fashioned if you're still eating your veggies the traditional way, according to them.
00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:19.086
Hey sister, welcome to the Power on Plants podcast.
00:00:19.086 --> 00:00:24.417
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?
00:00:24.417 --> 00:00:29.809
Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?
00:00:29.809 --> 00:00:36.110
Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?
00:00:36.110 --> 00:00:43.765
Hi, we're Jared and Anita Roussel, Christ followers, healthcare professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.
00:00:44.247 --> 00:00:55.951
We, too, tried exercising more, eating natural and clean foods, but we still found ourselves struggling with what we thought were changes that come with age or bad genes, and we weren't finding answers the traditional route.
00:00:55.951 --> 00:01:03.194
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant-based living.
00:01:03.194 --> 00:01:07.001
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods and it's not hard.
00:01:07.001 --> 00:01:14.302
You just need the way that's realistic and delicious so you never feel deprived If you're ready to enjoy your meals.
00:01:14.302 --> 00:01:20.385
No longer be held back by your health struggles and actively live your life, then you're in the right place.
00:01:20.385 --> 00:01:25.647
So grab your favorite plant-based cup of happy pop in those earbuds and let's get started.
00:01:26.260 --> 00:01:31.171
Have you ever felt like your health was holding you back from the life you were created for?
00:01:31.171 --> 00:01:40.189
There was a season in our lives when our bodies kept saying no and it felt like everything we wanted to do had to be put on hold because of it.
00:01:40.189 --> 00:01:54.153
It was frustrating, it was heartbreaking and really overwhelming, because we wanted to fully show up for the people we love and to live out our purpose, but because of our health struggles, we just didn't have the energy or the strength to do that.
00:01:54.620 --> 00:02:00.754
That's when we started searching for answers, looking for the simplest ways to nourish our bodies and get back on track.
00:02:00.754 --> 00:02:04.209
During that time, one of the things we came across was greens powders.
00:02:04.209 --> 00:02:10.382
They kind of seemed like the perfect solution, a quick, easy way to pack in nutrients, but here's what we discovered.
00:02:10.382 --> 00:02:12.211
There's a big problem with that approach.
00:02:12.211 --> 00:02:19.920
If you're wondering what could possibly be wrong with greens powders, you're in the right place, because today we're going to break it all down for you.
00:02:20.181 --> 00:02:24.645
But before we dive into the details, we have something really special to share with you.
00:02:24.645 --> 00:02:26.806

00:03:14.580 --> 00:03:25.349
But here's the thing this is an extremely limited opportunity, because we're only opening up 10 spots for this round of the accelerator programator program.
00:03:25.349 --> 00:03:26.171

00:03:33.481 --> 00:03:44.492
So, while the doors are officially set to close on August 20th, they're actually going to close the very second that the 10th person reserves their spot.
00:03:44.492 --> 00:03:48.281

We want you to start experiencing the benefits right now.
00:05:44.029 --> 00:05:51.685
That's why today, we're sharing some key insights that will help you take action immediately and start accelerating your journey to vibrant health.
00:05:52.206 --> 00:05:59.732
So you've probably heard all the hype about greens powders, but have you ever stopped to ask is this really the best way to nourish my body?
00:05:59.732 --> 00:06:16.408
Today, we're uncovering the truth about greens powders what they really do, what they don't do, and how to make choices that optimally support your health, and the first concern is the additives and unhealthy ingredients that are often in there.
00:06:16.408 --> 00:06:23.517
Now what I always tell you when it comes to choosing a product, what's one of the first things you want to do?
00:06:24.341 --> 00:06:25.305
I've got my hand raised.
00:06:25.305 --> 00:06:25.908
What is it?
00:06:25.908 --> 00:06:27.348
Turn that puppy over.
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:29.552
TTPO, turn that puppy over.
00:06:29.552 --> 00:06:48.416
And when you do that, what may surprise you with some of these greens powders is that, while they sound healthy, if you actually read the ingredients that are on there, like many other things, you'll find flavorings and sweeteners and fillers and other things that are unhealthy additions that just don't have any business being there.
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:51.009
I wouldn't even be surprised if there were preservatives there.
00:06:51.339 --> 00:06:54.932
It's true, and these additives can do more harm than good.
00:06:54.932 --> 00:07:02.483
Not only are they not what your body needs in order to thrive, a lot of times they're sabotaging ingredients that you just don't want to be eating.
00:07:02.483 --> 00:07:06.199
So the first concern is the additives and unhealthy ingredients.
00:07:06.502 --> 00:07:15.440
And the second concern is that these could be used as a substitute for fresh greens, leading to a false sense of security that you're getting what you need.
00:07:15.802 --> 00:07:20.612
It's so tempting to think, if I add this into my daily routine, it's all I need.
00:07:20.612 --> 00:07:25.411
In other words, you might feel like these powders are an acceptable substitute for fresh whole plant foods.
00:07:25.411 --> 00:07:30.569
You might even find yourself eating fewer whole plant foods, like Jared said, thinking I'm getting my greens.
00:07:30.569 --> 00:07:35.543
I've had my powder today, and this happens more often than you might think.
00:07:35.543 --> 00:07:35.923
Why?
00:07:35.923 --> 00:07:43.084
Because we're being led to think this way by advertisers who want to sell you their greens powders.
00:07:43.084 --> 00:07:46.932
Now, you almost have to hear this to believe it.
00:07:46.932 --> 00:07:53.673
So I want to share with you some direct quotes from greens powder ads that I've personally heard myself.
00:07:53.673 --> 00:08:00.673
I think you'll quickly see how we're being intentionally led to believe that this is a singularly great way to get our greens.
00:08:00.673 --> 00:08:07.970
Here are some of the quotes Giving your body what it needs can sometimes feel really complicated, but it doesn't have to be.
00:08:08.232 --> 00:08:17.307
We're here to make healthy habits beautifully easy for you by designing our product to give your body the support it needs every day, combining the highest quality ingredients.
00:08:17.307 --> 00:08:20.283
So we have to ask ourselves are these really the highest quality ingredients?
00:08:20.283 --> 00:08:22.266
This isn't just a shortcut.
00:08:22.266 --> 00:08:24.833
It's the future of nutrition.
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:28.730
Everything you just said, though, is how I feel about the way that we're eating.
00:08:28.730 --> 00:08:36.245
Except for the one scoop part, everything else giving your body what it needs can sometimes feel really complicated, but it doesn't have to be.
00:08:36.245 --> 00:08:38.191
That's what we teach every day.
00:08:38.191 --> 00:08:39.380
It's totally what we teach.
00:08:39.701 --> 00:08:42.990
But the difference is what we teach is the foundation.
00:08:42.990 --> 00:08:48.875
I mean, this is the way that it's been done since the beginning of time by those who want to be healthy.
00:08:48.875 --> 00:08:57.333
Right, we just need to know how to get our mindset right so we don't hear these things about stuff like greens powders or things that have been ground up and put into a bottle.
00:08:57.333 --> 00:09:06.163
It's not that we're against supplements Supplements aren't bad but when you think that is the foundation of your nutrition, you're going to run into health problems.
00:09:06.163 --> 00:09:07.225
It's just a given.
00:09:07.806 --> 00:09:17.605
Or that you can use this to undo the effects of a bad diet, like you can just kind of sprinkle some powder on it, exactly, and then it undoes all the other effects.
00:09:17.605 --> 00:09:26.101
But I do feel that this approach speaks to another angle, and that's convenience, because so many people think that whole food plant-based has to be difficult.
00:09:26.101 --> 00:09:34.153
So if they're going to get their veggies, going to get their greens, then they have to get it in this way for it to be quick, to be easy.
00:09:34.514 --> 00:09:34.735
Right.
00:09:34.735 --> 00:09:46.642
And that leads to the next thing I heard on one of the ads and they said this what's the easiest thing the easiest, okay, the easiest thing for you to do for your health that makes the biggest difference?
00:09:46.642 --> 00:09:51.524
Do you really believe that eating a powder is going to make the biggest difference in your health?
00:09:51.524 --> 00:09:53.671
I guess it depends on how bad their diet is.
00:09:54.881 --> 00:09:56.647
Well, I guess so, but you just said it yourself.
00:09:56.647 --> 00:10:01.849
You can't sprinkle a little green powder on something and expect it to change your whole outlook.
00:10:01.849 --> 00:10:04.721
It could help a little bit, I mean, if there's certain nutrients you're not getting.
00:10:04.741 --> 00:10:09.688
You could get some benefit, but I don't think it's going to completely reverse those dietary choices.
00:10:10.070 --> 00:10:10.330
Right.
00:10:10.330 --> 00:10:19.043
And if it's something you're not eating at all and you think I'm going to drink greens powder but I'm not going to eat any whole plant foods, you're probably going to find yourself struggling.
00:10:19.043 --> 00:10:28.149
Because, number one, it's not really as enjoyable as whole plant foods can be when you know how to do it, when you know the way to make it sustainable and lasting, because it's exciting.
00:10:28.149 --> 00:10:39.553
The meals, the snacks, the drinks, all these things, the desserts that you thought you couldn't have, they actually taste good and you like them just as much or better than your old favorites.
00:10:39.553 --> 00:10:43.110
You just set yourself up for amazing wins and successes.
00:10:43.110 --> 00:10:47.566
The way we cook foods is so convenient now, Some of the foods we even eat raw.
00:10:47.566 --> 00:10:49.985
I mean, how much more convenient can you get than that?
00:10:50.388 --> 00:10:51.230
Zero prep time.
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:57.187
And you Waking up every day feeling great because you get a lot of really good whole plant foods.
00:10:57.187 --> 00:10:58.961
You're filling your plate with the great stuff.
00:10:58.961 --> 00:11:09.006
Yeah, maybe you have some greens powders later on Nothing wrong with that, and we're going to get into that in a little bit but we don't want you to see these things as the foundation of your meals.
00:11:09.006 --> 00:11:12.586
That can lead to trouble when optimal health is your goal.
00:11:12.586 --> 00:11:17.826
The ad went on to highlight all the benefits of plant extracts.
00:11:17.826 --> 00:11:31.634
They literally said that All the benefits of plant extracts and if you've been listening to us for long enough, you understand that we know that it's not just about one extract or two extracts from a plant.
00:11:31.634 --> 00:11:33.943
It's actually about the whole package.
00:11:34.115 --> 00:11:35.701
How has God created this thing?
00:11:35.701 --> 00:11:50.018
That extract was actually inside a plant when it was originally designed by God, surrounded by all these other things many of which we probably don't even know or recognize yet that are there helping our bodies to use those things that have now been extracted.
00:11:50.018 --> 00:12:01.405
So, if you think about that, extracts are not going to provide optimal nutrition because they've been stripped out of the original package that was designed to most optimally use those nutrients.
00:12:01.405 --> 00:12:14.070
So our point here is we don't want you to have a false sense of security by using these greens and thinking this is going to be the foundation for optimal health, because it's not a good foundation.
00:12:14.070 --> 00:12:17.500
You know you can have solid foundations and you can have shaky foundations.
00:12:17.701 --> 00:12:18.864
These greens powders is a good foundation.
00:12:18.864 --> 00:12:21.089
You know you can have solid foundations and you can have shaky foundations.
00:12:21.089 --> 00:12:22.451
These greens powders is a shaky foundation.
00:12:22.451 --> 00:12:23.674
Think about that Powder is a shaky foundation.
00:12:23.674 --> 00:12:24.876
Again, we're not against powders.
00:12:24.876 --> 00:12:36.688
We're not against supplements when used in combination with a whole food, plant-based diet, done in the way that you actually enjoy, so that it lasts.
00:12:37.029 --> 00:12:40.535
The third concern with greens powders are processing issues.
00:12:40.535 --> 00:12:43.162
How did those greens become powdered?
00:12:43.162 --> 00:12:44.424
They did not grow that way.
00:12:44.424 --> 00:12:46.961
You did not find them in the garden in powdered form.
00:12:47.022 --> 00:12:51.399
We seriously need to be asking these questions, because they're the questions that are going to make all the difference.
00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:53.767
How did this become a powder?
00:12:54.274 --> 00:13:04.879
The main ways that the greens will get processed will involve heat and dehydration, where they will actually heat these plants up and try to get rid of enzymes in them, and this helps to increase shelf life.
00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:09.020
Now the problem with the dehydration is you can lose some of the water-soluble vitamins.
00:13:09.020 --> 00:13:11.307
You can lose some of the natural cofactors.
00:13:11.307 --> 00:13:13.179
Some of the minerals may not absorb.
00:13:13.179 --> 00:13:20.726
Well, even though the minerals aren't eliminated, you need some of the cofactors, like you need vitamin C to help you absorb the iron that's left in it.
00:13:20.726 --> 00:13:25.706
So up to 50 percent of the vitamin C is gone with this type of processing system.
00:13:26.174 --> 00:13:33.605
And our fourth concern with these powders is that they can be super expensive, putting a huge strain on your budget.
00:13:33.605 --> 00:13:43.851
Think about this If you bought a huge bag of greens powders, how many actual whole plant foods could you buy for that same amount of money over the course of a month?
00:13:43.851 --> 00:13:56.903
So again, we want to look at getting those foundational foods into your life first, and then adding things like the green powders that can give you extra supplemental nutrients that you might not be getting any other way.
00:13:56.903 --> 00:14:00.961
So this leads us into how do you use green powders the right way?
00:14:00.961 --> 00:14:06.100
Is there a way to harness these powders and use them to naturally improve your health?
00:14:06.100 --> 00:14:07.182
And the answer is yes.
00:14:07.182 --> 00:14:07.964
Here's how.
00:14:07.964 --> 00:14:11.437
Step number one is read the ingredients label.
00:14:11.437 --> 00:14:12.219
That's right.
00:14:12.219 --> 00:14:20.037
Turn that puppy over Avoiding powders with additives, artificial sweeteners and things you cannot pronounce.
00:14:20.337 --> 00:14:24.491
Step number two scan that label again, looking for beneficial plants.
00:14:24.631 --> 00:14:27.383
This is one reason that we love greens powders.
00:14:27.383 --> 00:14:31.337
I know we sound like we hate them throughout the rest of the podcast, but we don't.
00:14:31.337 --> 00:14:54.735
One of the reasons that we really love a good greens powder is because you can get things that you would never eat, because, number one, they might not be found in your area grocery store, might be something that's grown in another part of the world and therefore would have nutrients in it that you would never get with your foundational plate from your area, so it could be beneficial for you to get these things into your life.
00:14:54.735 --> 00:15:08.198
So, again, we don't want you eating these foods as your foundational foods, but what we do want you to do, if you're going to choose to add green powders to your nutritional plan, is to make sure you're getting one that doesn't just have the same things you're already eating on repeat.
00:15:08.198 --> 00:15:19.206
Choose the ones that have clean ingredients again, no artificial sweeteners or additives things you can't pronounce but that do include a lot of whole plant foods that you're not getting on a regular basis.
00:15:19.385 --> 00:15:28.557
And the key here, though, is that you're adding this on top of a great variety of greens that you're getting from your local supermarket, that you're getting on a daily basis.
00:15:28.557 --> 00:15:45.005
So you're getting all the nutrients the minerals, the vitamins, the phytonutrients but then you're adding these greens on top of that, perhaps getting some nutrients that you might not otherwise, because, just as Anita said, some of these plants may be found from other areas of the world and will give you even a wider variety.
00:15:45.375 --> 00:15:51.567
The third way to optimize your use of greens powders is to check the processing method.
00:15:51.567 --> 00:16:02.280
Now, we talked about this before as a negative with heat process powders, but what if you looked for a raw, freeze-dried option to maximize your nutrient content?
00:16:02.441 --> 00:16:09.471
This is an excellent way to go, because with freeze-drying they don't have to heat them to get rid of the moisture in it.
00:16:09.471 --> 00:16:15.966
They actually freeze them, pull them under a vacuum and then, as the ice melts, it becomes a gas.
00:16:15.966 --> 00:16:19.595
So then the food is left dry, but not at high temperatures.
00:16:19.595 --> 00:16:28.447
They're able to do it at lower temperatures and maintain a much higher percent of the nutrients, sometimes 80 to 90 percent of the original content, and that's exciting.
00:16:28.534 --> 00:16:35.264
So there's going to be a big difference between greens powders that have been heat processed versus the ones that are raw and freeze dried.
00:16:35.264 --> 00:16:46.475
And step four choose organic, because the reality is a lot of these powders have various ingredients in them and you don't know which ones have been sprayed and which ones have been treated this way and that way.
00:16:46.475 --> 00:16:54.509
But if you choose organic, you're much less likely to get unnecessary pesticides and chemicals in your food.
00:16:54.509 --> 00:16:58.203
And step five research the company.
00:16:58.203 --> 00:16:59.307
Why is that important?
00:16:59.514 --> 00:17:01.283
You want to look into their philosophy.
00:17:01.283 --> 00:17:03.121
How are they processing the food?
00:17:03.121 --> 00:17:04.619
Why are they doing this?
00:17:04.619 --> 00:17:08.669
Is it for a genuine concern of health or is it for profit?
00:17:09.009 --> 00:17:20.064
And the other thing you want to consider when you're researching the company is has it been bought out by a larger corporation that's known for cutting corners like a mainstream corporation?
00:17:20.064 --> 00:17:23.721
Because a lot of times these smaller family companies are great.
00:17:23.721 --> 00:17:27.361
They have a fantastic name, fantastic reputation.
00:17:27.361 --> 00:17:29.737
You know they're not putting mess in their food.
00:17:29.737 --> 00:17:30.480
It gets sold.
00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:33.317
You don't realize it because you haven't looked back at the company.
00:17:33.317 --> 00:17:41.278
And now it's owned by some big conglomerate that really doesn't care about getting the best nutrients and the best ingredients.
00:17:41.278 --> 00:17:43.777
They're just trying to line their pockets, make a profit.
00:17:44.097 --> 00:17:45.866
And this happens way more than we realize.
00:17:45.866 --> 00:17:55.953
I remember an example of a specific toothpaste a while back that was independently owned and had great ingredients and then got bought out by a large company.
00:17:55.953 --> 00:18:01.894
And they do that because they know that these brands have a specific reputation and they have a certain following.
00:18:01.894 --> 00:18:08.277
But if they can grab that because it's a premium product, higher price tag they start cutting corners.
00:18:08.277 --> 00:18:14.662
And then now these companies are making even bigger profits because many people don't turn that puppy over.
00:18:14.662 --> 00:18:21.795
That's why we recommend every so often whatever you buy, take a quick look just to make sure that things haven't changed on the ingredient list.
00:18:21.955 --> 00:18:24.541
And then step number six is consider the cost.
00:18:24.541 --> 00:18:26.134
We talked about this a little bit before.
00:18:26.134 --> 00:18:36.338
These powders can get quite expensive, and so you're going to save money in the long run and enjoy better tasting options by focusing on whole plant foods as your foundation.
00:18:36.338 --> 00:18:42.042
Even making veggie juices and smoothies, you can pack so many nutrients into one thing.
00:18:42.042 --> 00:18:45.200
No, we're not anti-juice and we're not anti-smoothie.
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:49.996
As long as we're talking about vegetable juice and the majority of your smoothies being green smoothies, you are good to go.
00:18:49.996 --> 00:18:57.115
We'll be talking more about that in an upcoming episode, but just know that getting that foundation right is great.
00:18:57.115 --> 00:19:16.612
And then, if you have extra funds or money isn't a concern for you go ahead and buy some of the ones that follow the guidelines that we've given you here, so that you can choose the best powders for you by reading the ingredients label and avoiding additives, artificial sweeteners and preservatives.
00:19:16.612 --> 00:19:22.070
Looking again at the label for beneficial plants that you don't normally get in your life.
00:19:22.070 --> 00:19:24.276
Check out the processing method.
00:19:24.276 --> 00:19:34.403
Avoid heat process powders and choose instead raw and freeze dried options, and don't use powders as a substitute for real whole plant foods.
00:19:34.403 --> 00:19:44.580
Always choose organic whenever possible and research the company to make sure it hasn't been recently bought out, and to discover the company's philosophy about nutrition.
00:19:44.580 --> 00:19:49.782
And finally, consider the cost, because green powders can be quite expensive.
00:19:49.782 --> 00:19:58.137
So your first priority should be to load up your plate with delicious, nutritious, whole plant foods in the way you actually enjoy.
00:19:58.417 --> 00:19:59.380
Here's the bottom line.
00:19:59.380 --> 00:20:04.238
Greens powders can be a helpful booster, but they're not the foundation of good health.
00:20:04.238 --> 00:20:10.099
The real key is building the sustainable whole food, plant based lifestyle that you genuinely love.

00:00:08.368 --> 00:00:15.336

00:00:29.809 --> 00:00:36.110
00:00:36.110 --> 00:00:43.765
00:00:44.247 --> 00:00:55.951
00:00:55.951 --> 00:01:03.194
00:01:03.194 --> 00:01:07.001
00:01:07.001 --> 00:01:14.302
00:01:14.302 --> 00:01:20.385
00:01:20.385 --> 00:01:25.647
00:01:26.260 --> 00:01:31.171
00:01:31.171 --> 00:01:40.189
00:01:40.189 --> 00:01:54.153
00:01:54.620 --> 00:02:00.754
00:02:00.754 --> 00:02:04.209
00:02:04.209 --> 00:02:10.382
00:02:10.382 --> 00:02:12.211
00:02:12.211 --> 00:02:19.920
00:02:20.181 --> 00:02:24.645
00:02:24.645 --> 00:02:26.806
00:02:26.806 --> 00:02:30.610
00:02:30.610 --> 00:02:37.097
00:02:37.097 --> 00:02:47.040
00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:50.973
00:02:50.973 --> 00:03:14.501
00:03:14.580 --> 00:03:25.349
00:03:25.349 --> 00:03:26.171
00:03:26.171 --> 00:03:33.481
00:03:33.481 --> 00:03:44.492
00:03:44.492 --> 00:03:48.281
00:03:48.281 --> 00:04:04.330
00:04:04.692 --> 00:04:09.224
00:04:09.224 --> 00:04:16.411
00:04:16.411 --> 00:04:24.026
00:04:24.026 --> 00:04:29.266
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:35.389
00:04:35.389 --> 00:04:40.031
00:04:40.031 --> 00:04:43.069
00:04:43.069 --> 00:04:50.627
00:04:50.627 --> 00:04:58.786
00:04:59.047 --> 00:05:13.391
00:05:13.391 --> 00:05:22.172
00:05:22.172 --> 00:05:27.889
00:05:27.889 --> 00:05:37.244
00:05:37.244 --> 00:05:40.982
00:05:40.982 --> 00:05:44.029
00:05:44.029 --> 00:05:51.685
00:05:52.206 --> 00:05:59.732
00:05:59.732 --> 00:06:16.408
00:06:16.408 --> 00:06:23.517
00:06:24.341 --> 00:06:25.305
00:06:25.305 --> 00:06:25.908
00:06:25.908 --> 00:06:27.348
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:29.552
00:06:29.552 --> 00:06:48.416
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:51.009
00:06:51.339 --> 00:06:54.932
00:06:54.932 --> 00:07:02.483
00:07:02.483 --> 00:07:06.199
00:07:06.502 --> 00:07:15.440
00:07:15.802 --> 00:07:20.612
00:07:20.612 --> 00:07:25.411
00:07:25.411 --> 00:07:30.569
00:07:30.569 --> 00:07:35.543
00:07:35.543 --> 00:07:35.923
00:07:35.923 --> 00:07:43.084
00:07:43.084 --> 00:07:46.932
00:07:46.932 --> 00:07:53.673
00:07:53.673 --> 00:08:00.673
00:08:00.673 --> 00:08:07.970
00:08:08.232 --> 00:08:17.307
00:08:17.307 --> 00:08:20.283
00:08:20.283 --> 00:08:22.266
00:08:22.266 --> 00:08:24.833
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:28.730
00:08:28.730 --> 00:08:36.245
00:08:36.245 --> 00:08:38.191
00:08:38.191 --> 00:08:39.380
00:08:39.701 --> 00:08:42.990
00:08:42.990 --> 00:08:48.875
00:08:48.875 --> 00:08:57.333
00:08:57.333 --> 00:09:06.163
00:09:06.163 --> 00:09:07.225
00:09:07.806 --> 00:09:17.605
00:09:17.605 --> 00:09:26.101
00:09:26.101 --> 00:09:34.153
00:09:34.514 --> 00:09:34.735
00:09:34.735 --> 00:09:46.642
00:09:46.642 --> 00:09:51.524
00:09:51.524 --> 00:09:53.671
00:09:54.881 --> 00:09:56.647
00:09:56.647 --> 00:10:01.849

00:10:43.110 --> 00:10:47.566
00:10:47.566 --> 00:10:49.985
00:10:50.388 --> 00:10:51.230
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:57.187
