If you missed today’s episode of Dr. Oz, September 24th, this is your recap. Today, Dr. Oz talks about why we have a lack of energy.

Why We Have No Energy

Anger, anxiety and hormones are the three key reasons why women have no energy. However, magnesium is the key to fix it. Three out of four people are magnesium deficient and lack of energy is a key sign.

Signs of Magnesium Deficiency

Irritability, anxiety, lethargy are three signs to this deficiency. When there is low magnesium, your body works harder to replace it, which causes low energy. Most multivitamins don’t contain magnesium because it would make the pill too large, and you can’t take it just once a day, instead you have to eat food that contains mass amounts of magnesium.

Magnesium Grocery List

You must have a balanced diet to get your daily magnesium and Dr. Oz recommends five servings of any of these:

  • 1/2 cup boiled spinach
  • 1/2 cup quinoa
  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 1 cup black beans
  • 1 cup kidney beans
  • 1 cup lentils
  • 1 cup raisin bran
  • 1 cup shredded wheat
  • 1 cup oatmeal
  • 2 slices whole wheat bread
  • 2 bananas

Don’t eat all five at one time, but instead at different times. You can choose any of these, but make sure one can be a breakfast food.

Healthy Fast Food Challenge

Dr. Oz has a three-day healthy drive thru diet challenge. All meals are under 500 calories, zero trans-fats and have less than 1,000 mg of sodium for Daymon Patterson to try.

His favorite breakfast meal came from Subway: the egg white with American cheese on 9 grain wheat bread. 320 calories with 3g saturated fat.

Lunch went to McDonald’s the premium caesar salad with grilled chicken and apple slices with 205 calories and 3g saturated fat.

Boston Market took his favorite dinner with the rotisserie chicken, quarter white, no skin, sweet corn and fresh steamed vegetables. 420 calories and 1g saturated fat.

Dr. Oz Helpful Tips

If you have bad constipation problems, eat 1 cup of raspberries. They have 8 grams of fiber and will help keep you regular. You can also eat them with live culture yogurt because the yogurt wakes up the intestinal system.

If you missed Dr. Oz on Tuesday, April 10th then this is your full recap. Today, Dr. Oz has on AJ Jacobs author of Drop Dead Healthy: One Man’s Humble Quest for Bodily Perfection who tested every diet and health products reveals what works and doesn’t work.

What Diets Work

AJ has taken the best advice from all the experts to create his own diet. His top three

1. Shop the perimeters of the grocery store for healthy food.
2. Eat the rainbow of fruits and vegetables
3. Eat like a baby.

His favorite motto is “Eat an apple a day to keep the appetite away.” Eating an apple will suppress the appetite as well as eating a bowl of soup. 

Fidgeting can burn 300 calories a day. Sitting still according to AJ is the worst thing for your health.

Boost your Energy
Try the Sport Drink Spit – instead of drinking the sports drink that has tons of sugar, just swish it around and spit it out.
Chewdiasm – at least 20 chews per bite burns off more calories.
Play the Didgeridoo – this strengthens the throat muscles and reduces snoring.

Reprogram Your Taste Buds

A spoonful of brown sugar can make vegetables taste better if you don’t like vegetables.
Add anything crunchy, like cheetos on vegetables because we like crunchy food more.
Puree vegetables like squash or cauliflower and add it to cheese when making mac and cheese to get your extra vegetable servings for the day.
Eat in a quiet place. Studies show eating in a loud environment makes food taste worse.

Ultimate Antioxidant Guide

Kristin Kirkpatrick from the Cleveland Clinic is here to show us the benefit of antioxidants.
Vitamin A family enhances red blood cell function and prevents cancer. Find it in yellow and orange foods like carrots and squash. Cook the carrots whole so more nutrients come out. Bananas that are riper have higher antioxidants.

Green foods – broccoli, cabbage, parsley hold tons of iron to help the body. This is the most important group to eat everyday.

Purple foods prevent damage and help heal damage and you can find it in prunes, plums, berries. These also help eye health and prevent heart attacks.

24-Hour Antioxidant Diet Plan

Whole foods, not supplements is the way to go to get your daily dose.
Breakfast Power Smoothie: 1/2 cup wild blueberries, 1/2 cup blackberries, 1/2 cup strawberries, 1/2 cup raspberries, 1 cup unsweetened pomegranate juice. Berries need to move freely when you buy them.
One-Two Punch Lunch: 1 cup tomato soup with a green salad with kale and 1 cup broccoli florets. Combining this can help prevent prostate cancer.
Double duty dinner: Poached sallmon and artichoke and sweet potato gratin. 2 tomatoes, 2 1/4 cup artichoke hearts, 1 bunch scallions, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp salt, one can 15 oz cannellini beans, 1/2 cup chicken stock, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes. This reduces risk for heart disease.

Doctor’s Favorite Kitchen Cures

Donnica Moore is a doctor who says great cures come from your kitchen.
Splinters – A well ripened splinter can be taken out with a ripe banana peel. Cut the peel to the affected area and secure it to the area overnight. It breaks it down and makes splinters easier to remove.

Dandruff – Apple cider vinegar (Bragg – Apple Cider Vinegar, 32 oz liquid). 1/2 cup vinegar and 1/2 cup water together, spritz on scalp and wrap head with towel for 15 minutes. Wash, rinse and repeat. The first week do it three times in a row, then se 2x per week.

Muscle Cramps – Pickle juice has acid that help. Drink 2.5 oz at onset of the cramp and it’ll work in under 2 minutes – it’s been tested.

Calluses – Actual Madina Licorice Stick Natural Flavor - no not the candy, can get rid of calluses. Grind 4 sticks up and add 1/2 tsp sesame oil. Rub on the calluses at night

Three Bonus tips: Chew on sage to prevent bad breath. Lime juice and water put on bug bites can get rid of the itching. Raspberry tea can get rid of canker sores.

4. Just stand: Standing can give you 50 extra calories a day. Squatting for 10 minutes a day burns 140 calories a day as well.

What’s Under Your Eyelid?

Here are four tips for lazy girls to do a quick health test. Grab a mirror!
1. Check your tongue: White, yellow, or orange coating can show acid reflux, which can be bad.
2. Check your nails: Horizontal white stripes can show kidney disease. The lines show low protein levels, which means your kidneys aren’t working the same. If you’re fatigued as well, you should see a doctor.
3. Check your eyelids: Little bumps on the inside of your eyelids can show allergies. It can show you’re congested in the morning, and you have allergies to dander or common seasonal allergies.
4. Check your elbows and knees: Red rash shows celiac disease, which means you’re allergic to gluten.

Is It Really Safer To Buy Organic Food?

New recalls for brown rice syrup has worried Dr. Oz about the healthiness of organic food. It’s used in organic products, mostly found in breakfast bars and kid’s cereal, and has now been found to contain arsenic. The arsenic is found in soil, water, and fertilizer and some crops, organic or not, suck up arsenic. Rice, apples, grapes, and pears, will suck up arsenic in the soil.

Cheap Organic Food

This is a list of organic food Dr. Oz recommends to buy:
1. Potatoes: Regular potatoes grow on vines, which exposes them to pesticides and fungus from the ground.
2. Peppers and celery: Both suck up pesticides and hold on to them.
3. Spinach, lettuce and collard greens: Bugs love these leafy greens, so more pesticides are used in regular produce.
4. Dairy: There’s less hormones and antibiotics in organic dairy products.

If you missed Dr. Oz Show for February 6th, this is your full recap. Today Dr. Oz looks at 5 fat busters for 5 different body types with instant results.

5 Fat Busters for 5 Body Types

1. Fat butt
2. Belly Bulge
3. Big thighs
4. Flabby arms
5. All over

By regulating hormone levels, and altering one meal a day, you can change your shape in just five days.

1. Big behind; 2/3 of Americans have a big bottom, and it’s not as dangerous as many think because it can prevent heart disease, but it’s also the first place you gain weight and it’s the hardest to lose. Any diet you’re on to change this you have to have complex carbs and little fat. Pasta primavera is a great meal with Red Clover Tea – Caffeine Free, 30 bags,(Alvita Teas). Drink 2 cups of the tea during dinner. For the meal, add 1 cup whole wheat pasta, 1/2 cup cooked chicken strips, 2 cups vegetables, 1 can crushed tomatoes and 1/2 cup edamame. Edamame is also very important because it has a hormone shifting combo in it. Also sitting on hard, firm seats, it will give you a workout without working out.

2. Big belly; over 50% of American women have extra belly fat which can cause cancer, diabetes and heart disease. It’s easier to lose fat from here than anywhere else, and trimming just 2 inches can reduce your chances of these diseases by 50%. Breakfast with a lot of CLA, as well as MRM CLA 1250 High Potency,180 Softgels as a supplement will bust this. Breakfast like a whole wheat English muffin with olive oil and avocado with a poached egg and Swiss cheese and tomato is great because it has healthy fatty acids. Tomatoes are an extra bonus because they’re a natural diuretic which will take away the bloating.

3. Big top with big chest, arms and back, which can danger your heart. Stress and lack of protein makes it worse. Dairy and Twinlab Acetyl L-Carnitine 500mg, 120 Capsules helps. The meal for this is a Tex-Mex sald with spinach, 1/2 cup corn, 1/2 cup black beans, onion, salsa, 1/4 avocado, top with 1 tbsp sour cream. L-Carnitine stimulates the growth hormone which will burn off the excess weight on top.

4. Big thighs; big thighs doesn’t hurt your health, but it’s a pain trying to fit into jeans and walk without chafing. The fat in the thighs don’t burn at all, so to help, you have a liquid lunch with White Kidney Bean Extract – 100 – Capsule. Low fat and high protein diets help burn the thunder thighs away. A great protein drink with these ingredients help. 1 cup water, ice cubes, 1 scoop whey protein, 1/2 banana, handful of frozen blueberries, 1/2 pack milled flaxseed, 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa.

One Stop Pill For Fat All Over

Best Naturals Raspberry Ketone with Green Tea, Anti Obese Action Formula, 500mg, 60 Veggie Capsule is Dr. Oz’s number one pill to burn fat all over. The ketones slices up the fat and makes it easier to burn the fat. This also has the number one hormone that tricks your body into thinking it’s thin. You want a 100mg at breakfast, and then another 100mg at lunch. You would need to eat 90 pounds of raspberries a day to have the same effects. You can get results within five days, and the longer you use it, the better the results. You still have to eat healthy and exercise daily, but this helps get over the hump.

5 Ways To Dress Thinner

The biggest mistake is wearing clothes too baggy, when they should be minimizing parts they don’t like and maximizing the parts you do like on your body.

Big bottom: use your fingertips as a yard stick to wear tops that long, to hide the bottom and wear flaired jeans to take away from the bottom.
Big belly: A sheath dress brings the curves in and hides the belly by elongating the body.
Big top: Charms – which is shapewear for your arms, smoothes the bulge and makes the arms smaller.
Big thighs: Bright colored and rouched tops, and dark pants hides the thighs.
Big all over: Get rid of baggy, but accentuating the curves and wear pops of bright colors. Create a waist with a wide belt.

Dr. Oz Show Today Busts Health Myths Your Doctor Believes And Conquering Dairy Allergies

If you missed the Dr. Oz Show for January 30th then this is your full recap. Today Dr. Oz looks at busting the most shocking health myths your doctor believes and tackles exhaustion.

Myths

Myth 1: Don’t read in the dark or you’ll hurt your eyes. Your eyes have muscles that can strain, which will cause bloodshot eyes, but it doesn’t hurt your eyes. When your eyes burn, it’s the muscles working, but it won’t damage your eye sight.

Myth 2: Lean back during a nose bleed helps you. When you tilt your head back, the blood goes down the back of your throat and into your stomach, which irritates it and you can vomit. Instead, tilt forward a little, and hold onto the soft part of your nose.

Myth 3: Let your wound get air to heal faster. When you don’t use a bandage, your body has to make its own covering, which is a scab, which makes the healing process longer and it gets larger.

Myth 4: Icing your burn helps it heal. No matter what kind of burn, first, just red, second, scabbing, or third degree burns, when you lose the structure of the skin, and you’ll know if the burn doesn’t hurt you anymore, it’s bad to use ice. It’ll create a chemical reaction and form little icicles. You still want cold, but instead, use cold water and hold it in for 20 minutes, and take ibuprofen. 

Exhaustion Myths

Myth 1: The more vitamins you take the more energy you have. Two vitamins are the best and will make a difference, B-Complex at 50mg and Vitamin D3 1000u. Take them at breakfast and it’ll help you in the afternoon.

Myth 2: Buying non-drowsy cold medicine keeps you awake. No matter what it says on the label, it can still make you drowsy, depending on height and weight, and what affects you. Taking the 12 hour doses can help this problem.

Myth 3: Nightcaps can help you sleep. Alcohol does make you sleepy, but as you metabolize it, it won’t allow you to go into a deep sleep. Clear colored alcohols like vodka and gin is better if you drink later.

Myth 4: Longer afternoon naps give you more energy. Naps can make you more tired if not done properly. More than a half hour causes you to go into a deep sleep and it’s hard to get your brain in gear. To take an afternoon nap, do 25-30 minutes between 1-4pm.

Diet Myths

You can pack onto 30 pounds due to a hidden food allergy, which will cause you to be unable to lose weight. Dairy allergy is a common food allergy, and unlike the hives and swelling, 60 percent can have hidden food sensitivities that can appear hours and days later. Dairy products are everywhere (eggs are not included), but hidden sources are sometimes harder to find.

Desserts like cookies, cake, muffins, all include dairy (also whey).
Canned meat like tuna and packaged deli meat can have milk.
Bread has whey protein which is dairy.
Energy bars also have whey. You can do soy protein to substitute it.

Dairy Detox Plan

There are 3 R’s in this plan.

The first R is to Remove all dairy for a week. To substitute, use unsweetened almond milk to replace milk and extra virgin olive oil for butter.

The second R is to Repair your digestive track. This is when you add probiotics, only in pill form. Food that claims to have probiotics hasn’t been shown to have that much probiotics in it.

The third R is to Reboot your body. Introduce dairy back into your life and see if you have any symptoms like migraines, weight gain, bloating, joint pain, memory fog.

Superfoods for a Super Mind

Dave Farrow the two-time guinness record holder for sharpest brain, is here to talk about the superfoods that he eats.

Beets! They lower blood pressure and increase blood flow to the brain.
Cashew Nuts and butter because they’re a good source of thiamine to boost brain memory.
Avacadoes are high in good fat and also have vitamin E, K and folate which reduce the hardening of the arteries.

The bonus tip of the day is to take this Vitamin Shoppe – Bacopa, 100 capsules Bacopa 150 mg a day to promote a healthy lifestyle!

Dr. Oz Show; Is Shock Therapy Coming back? Food That Fights Fatigue, And How Your Lungs Can Make You Tired

If you missed the Dr. Oz Show today, January 25th, 2012 this is your full recap. Today he discusses electro-shock therapy, now called electroconvulsive, and how it’s coming back. Also Dr. Oz looks at how your lungs can make you tired, and what foods can help you fight fatigue.

Electroconvulsive Therapy

Around 100,000 Americans undergo the procedure a year, and it’s now an approved treatment. Dr. Keith Ablow is on the show to discuss the procedure. It induces a seizure in the brain, which resets the chemical balance. Now, you’re asleep and your muscles are relaxed because of a muscle relaxer, and it’s far less volts used (brief pulses). It’s up to 80% effective. Ideal candidates are:

  1. Rapid climax of antidepressants
  2. Suffering delusions
  3. Haven’t gotten better from other treatments

It’s done six to twelve times, and is covered by insurance. There are a few drawbacks, such as memory loss – but that’s very small. You may still have to take an antidepressant after, but instead of several or high doses, it would be much less.

What Organ Causes Your Fatigue?

Your lungs can cause your fatigue, something no one would expect. If you’re easily fatigued, you can tell if it’s the lungs by this easy test: Every year at your birthday, put 10 candles on a  cake, and see how many you can blow out at one time. If you can’t get two, there’s a concern. Here are a few tips: when you wake up, one deep breath, blow into a balloon. Next, when you’re driving, roll the windows up when you’re sitting in traffic. Air pollution is worse in the evening than morning.

Best Carbs To Drop A Dress Size

Carbs make you tired, and make you gain weight, but if you swap a few, you can drop a dress size.

For pasta lovers, swap for shirataki noodles and you can drop 11 pounds a year.
For potato lovers, use the purple potatoes, because you won’t gain any weight, unlike real potatoes. If you swap that, you can use 3 pounds a year.
For white rice lovers, use pearl barley instead. It has 4 grams of fiber, so it’ll keep you regular and help you lose 3 pounds a year.
For potato chip lovers, use pretzels, but the thinner ones, not the bigger pretzel rods. If you swap those, it’ll help you lose 6 pounds a year.

Simple Food

Rocco author of Now Eat This!: 150 of America’s Favorite Comfort Foods, All Under 350 Calories is here to help with a high protein enchilada.

  • ground turkey (or for 5 more calories 96% lean beef)
  • Four 9-inch low-carb toritllas
  • 2/3 cup fat-free spicy black bean dip
  • one 12 oz jar tomatillo salsa
  • 1 cup reduced-fat mexican cheese blend
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Sautee the meat and add the bean dip. Meanwhile, you’ll want to warm the tortillas. Spoon it into the middle, and roll it up. After you fill the casserole dish, add the tomatillo sauce and top with cheese and cilantro
