Oatmeal
Here’s the recipe for the perfect oatmeal. Dr Oz recommended oatmeals on some occasions:
I stumbled on this Wikipedia entry about Maqui Berries. It seems that Maqui berries have more anti-oxidants than Acai berries.
In 2007, Oprah and Dr. Oz explained what a momentum is. It is an organ that is split into greater and lesser omentum. The greater omentum is right in front of your stomach, while the lesser omentum covers the liver. The omentum stores your fat. When you loose weight, your omentum will also decrease in size. It can also stores hormones (cortisol). So if you have a lot of stress at work every day you will have a hard time to reduce the size of your omentum.
Omentum explained on Wikipedia
Measure around your body, crossing the belly button. Your values should not exceed 32 inches for a woman and 35 inches for a man.
We enjoyed watching Dr. Oz and Oprah for a long time – the segment “Ask Dr.Oz” was so successful that HARPO productions decided to create a show for Dr. Oz. He’s a talent, so he deserves his own show. He will be talking about health topics that matter, his diet plans and of course there will be plenty of room for questions. Dr. Oz questions and answers is a mandatory for his own TV talk-show.
Dr Oz has been signed to Sony Pictures Television. His show will simply be called “The Dr. Oz Show” “Dr. Oz”. The show will premiere on Monday, September 14.
“I’ve been so fortunate to have learned from Oprah Winfrey and worked with the best television team in the business over the past several years as the health expert on ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show,’” he said. “To have been invited to share the stage with Oprah has been exhilarating, educational and the experience of a lifetime.”
Former “Today” show producer Amy Chiaro is going to be the co-executive producer of “Dr. Oz”. Everything will be filmed at the Rockefeller Center.
“This will be our focus for fall 2009,” SPT president Steve Mosko said. “All of the resources of Sony will be behind this. We think Dr. Oz is a phenomenal talent, and every part of our company will be involved in making sure the show is a huge hit.”
Calorie-restriction refers to a lifestyle where people eat less calories than they normally should to live longer. It is a strict diet that only few people actually can do.
The Dr. Oz diet includes a lot of raw foods, fruits, veggies and nuts. When done correctly, you can slower the aging process and add many years to your life. Oz put it this way: When you are on a calorie-restriction diet your body gets really efficient and your body activates a gene called sirtris. This gene can help you to live longer.
To lose a lot of weight, fasting and raw food might be great, but would you want to live like that forever? Actually, I believe this diet won’t work for the majority of all Americans and it would be a pretty expensive diet too. Eating only organic foods can be costly.
Luckily, science can help us. Resveratrol, a natural compound found in red wine, also activates the gene sirtris. Why would you stay on a calorie-restrictive diet if you can take Resveratrol? In certain tests it helped animals to live up to 56% longer. That’s not everything, it also has a lot of other health benefits: It can increase your energy and metabolism, improve your mood and endurance and help you to lose weight. Resveratrol is *the* wonder pill of 2009. Actually, it has been discovered years ago. I even read an article about it back in 1998! It only became so popular when David Sinclair promoted his discovery on TV (CBS, 60 minutes, etc). Sinclair’s company has been bought for $720 million. Do you think anyone would spend that much money if Resveratrol wasn’t a really important discovery? Resveratrol might change our future!
Make Long-Term Changes, but Don’t Berate Yourself When You Fall Short
After helping the men of the “Good Morning America” fitness challenge work on the Top 5 things that will
age them, Dr. Mehmet Oz returned to “GMA” today with a little help for the ladies.
Call it tough love, but the “You: Being Beautiful” author did not pull any punches when he told the women
why it was so important for them to stay in shape.
“Women are particularly challenging because women generally will not take care of themselves and not for
the reason men give,” he said. “Men don’t take care of themselves because they’ve got other things going on.
Women don’t take care of themselves because of self- esteem issues.”
“That sounds harsh, but it’s actually true. We’ve looked at it in multiple studies. And you don’t think of it in
that way, but you’re always willing to put others first, because that’s what mothers think they need to do.”
But Oz said this habit could be harmful, not just for women, but for their children.
“They’re going to treat themselves the way you treat yourself,” he said. “If they don’t see you taking care of
yourself, when they become your age, they will do the exact same thing to themselves.”
To help women kick bad habits and get back in shape, Oz offered five simple tips.
According to Dr. Oz Meditation and Yoga can help you to add a couple years to your lifespan.
Meditation can stimulate your sinuses to release gases that will help your body to relax. That’s why a very effective treatment for sinusitis is humming. It will dilate your blood vessels effectively and as good as antibiotics. The gas that is produced is called nitric oxide. Inflammation causes an increase of nitric oxide as well and is your natural answer to sinusitis.
On this website: http://www.yogabasics.com/yoga-postures.html you will find many meditation yoga poses that will allow you to meditate effectively.

Dr. Oz believes that an active sex life can keep us young. Sex creates chemicals as we all know, men have increased testosterone values and women have increased oxytocin.
Those chemicals keep us going and make us stay young. Therefore it is recommended that lack of sex and sleep should be avoided.
Sleep plays a critical role too. To keep our vitality sleep is very essential, because that’s simply how we recharge our energy. Lack of sleep can make you age dramatically faster.
On Wikipedia I found an interesting statement that two things should be fulfilled when you sleep:
The optimal amount of sleep is not a meaningful concept unless the timing of that sleep is seen in relation to an individual’s circadian rhythms. A person’s major sleep episode is relatively inefficient and inadequate when it occurs at the “wrong” time of day; one should be asleep at least six hours before the lowest body temperature. The timing is correct when the following two circadian markers occur after the middle of the sleep episode and before awakening.
- maximum concentration of the hormone melatonin, and
- minimum core body temperature.
Dr. Oz also recommended to floss your teeth before going to bed. He says that it might cause gingivitis and irritation of the gums if you don’t. Oral health can also prevent cardio-vascular related diseases.
Leptin is a protein hormone that plays a key role in regulating energy intake and energy expenditure, including appetite and metabolism.
