Healthy Ideas and Food Supplementation Suggestions!
Dr Oz suggests adding various food supplements to the daily diet but he DOES NOT endorsed any particular brand. Below are notes based on a one of his shows. The links lead to helpful suggestions. There are several well researched articles here at Eco-Focused! I practice what I preach and my weight has not fluctuated more than ten pounds in twenty years. Out with Ms.O'pray & Dr. O'hum's pictures (explanation below) and in the the new! Here goes...
Junette the Mini triathlon lady - that means little "t" for triathlon. Sprint - they call it. Being a big fan of Marie Osmond and especially Valerie Bertinenelli (same age, height, and weight) I will continue walking in their healthy lifestyle footprints! Just as they are representatives of Nutrisystem® & Jenny Craig respectively, I am an Independent Distributor for Shaklee.
Here is an article about the importance of avoiding a high percentage of body fat, especially during middle age. Yes, if you have it, the chances of making it to the golden years AND being healthy are SLIM
....in lieu of just staying slim...
Notes From a Dr O Show...Antioxidants are found in blueberries. You should select fruits and vegetables with bright and deep colors. The colors are an indicator of nutrient rich fruits and vegetables. Broccoli is loaded with antioxidants and beneficial for thyroid function. Broccoli has a specific chemical that protects the body against cancer. Tomatoes contain lycopine which is good for the heart.
Acai is a fruit from the Brazilian rain forest that pack twice the punch for antioxidants as blueberries! These berries are easier to find in the states now. Word is out!Red wine can prevent your body from aging as well. 80% of the benefit comes from the alcohol and 20% from the resveratrol & CoQ10 , which is another antioxidant. Cinnamon can lower cholesterol. Ginger reduces risk of cancer, decreases blood pressure, and reduces pain of arthritis. Turmeric found by itself or in curry, prevents Alzheimer’s Disease. Here is a supplement that contains tumeric. Paprika and Cayenne pepper improves circulation and reduces high blood pressure. Rosemary can make you smarter and is recognized for its alleged ability to strengthen the brain and memory. The dried form is ok too. Fiber is an important aid in elimination. Go for steel cut oatmeal is a great source. The longer it takes to cook it the better. He also said taking fiber supplements containing psyllium is OK.
Fiber supplements - 'cause eating psyllium sounds nasty!
Beano is a good product to use stir into beans before eating. It aids in digestion and cuts down on the gas problem. Chia are whole grain seeds, full of fiber, calcium, and magnesium. You can use these in cupcakes! Omega 3 can be found in flaxseeds. Be sure and grind them up first before adding to foods! Walnuts are a good source of Omega 3 as are fish. The fish get Omega when they feed on spirulina algae. You can also make guacamole from this algae! You can get DHA omega in capsule form. These are much smaller than the flaxseed oil capsules. Before frying foods in olive oil, toss the veggies with olive oil first, then fry them. This prevents some of the oxidation of this delicate oil. Look at your waist measurement more than your weight measurement. Your waist measurement should be less than your height divided by 2. If you are 70 inches tall, your waist measurement should be less than 35 inches. It is possible to gain muscle weight and also lose inches around the waist. This is a good thing! The ideal heart rate is: 220 minus your age times 80. Get the heart rate up 3 times a week. You should strength train at least 30 minutes a week. Strengthen the core muscles first, before you do pull ups. You should also practice yoga to enhance your flexibility. Yoga is also good for the mind. Some meditations require making a Yummmm, or similar sound. These vibrations are good for the body. Sleep: 7-8 hours every night. Sex: 2-3 times a week. This creates more oxitosin, which is a hormone in women that creates a feeling of a loving bond and well being. Sex creates more testosterone in men. Vitamins you should add to your diet: Multi Vitamins- a note to pre-menopausal women, you need your iron. Men and post menopausal women, no more than 2500 iu vitamin A. Iron is not necessary for this group of people. Vitamin D – 1000 IU – More than 50% of people are deficient in this vitamin. Vitamin D prevents cancer, reduces heart problems, and reduces infections. The deficiency of vitamin D is linked to MS. This video shows the importance of calcium as an
important building block with vitamin D
Most people over 40 should take 2 baby aspirin a day. This practice will help ward away wrinkles. It is also an anti-inflammatory. Take Omega 3 (helpful suggestion) – 600mg a day, preferably DHA omega capsules. (Dr O forgot to warn people about possible mercury contamination of salmon and other fish. Here is a way to get around that problem: A video about mercury free and purified source of omega fish oil)
Smoking increases your real age by 10 years. Having a passion in life has a positive affect on your real age by 8 years. It keeps your mind young. White tea hasn’t been dried at all. The leaves have been steamed. This preserves the medicinal benefits. These contain a small amount of caffeine, too. Refer to my Holistic Doc page and my Inflammation page for more info about adding pro-biotics to reduce inflammation. See your doctor if you have questions on personal health matters or issues relating to you.

If you just came to my site through a Google search for Dr.OZ, I am so sorry his pictures and video had to be removed. I got boinked on the head by some legal beagles representing Ms. O’pray and Dr. O’hum. Apparently, I lost Ms. O'pray's and Dr. O'hum's phone number and failed to get permission to post their pictures and a couple cool videos. They complained about the affect of my page. Meaning it appears Dr. O is recommending O' Shakee supplements. After inspecting my web page, my daughter who is a researcher, author, and writer of several textbooks and medical websites thought they were acting like bullies. Oh well, what can you do? Delete, Delete. Also, even though the company, O’Shakee has been featured on their show several times, I’m not supposed to mention names. Still love these two, Ms O and Dr O, and moving forward now.

Toss the white rice, opt for the brown Rice – Jerusalem artichoke pasta provides high fiber, too! When buying bread go for the 100% whole grain instead of whole wheat.
