women – PMS and all the stress, imbalances, and discomforts that
come with it beginning with puberty and then hits again as we age.
Dr. Oz PMS Stress Buster #1: Chaste
Tree Berries

chaste tree berries, 150mg daily when you experience PMS symptoms to
help balance hormones. Studies have shown, she explains, that taking
this supplement daily can support a decrease of irritability
associated with PMS symptoms.

or liquid form under the names vitex or chaste tree berries or agnus
casus.]

Dr. Oz 5-Minute Body Make-Overs
Get thin in only 5-minutes – well,
look thinner in 5-minutes, with these tips posted to Dr. Oz's
Pinterest page.
Dr. Oz 5-Minute Make-Over: Color
Block Dress
It's all the rage on the runways and
the red carpet – color block dresses. Become two sizes smaller,
visually, with a dress featuring dark color paneling on the side and
a lighter color panel in the center. This color combination gives the
illusion of slimmer hips and thighs by drawing the eye inward and
visually slimming the figure.
Dr. Oz 5-Minute Make-Over:
Greensations
Orange Peptide Cellulite Butter
It's a secret thigh slimmer, says Dr.
Raj. Greensations
Orange Peptide Cellulite Butter is not a fix for cellulite,
because there is no such thing, but it will help to reduce the
appearance of cellulite with caffeine that will draw out water from
and tighten the area applied. Antioxidants in the butter cleanses and
tones the skin.
Cost for Greensations
Orange Peptide Cellulite Butter: about $29.99.
Dr. Oz 5-Minute Make-Over: Josie
Maran 100%Argan Oil
This tip is one of Dr. Oz's favorite
products, argan oil. From Moroco, argan oil comes from the argan tree
and has been used for hundreds of years to support brittle nails, dry
skin and dry hair. Josie
Maran 100% Argan Oil can be used all over the body to moisturize.
Dr. Oz says to be sure to look for argan products that are 100% oil.
Cost for Josie
Maran 100% Argan Oil: about $48.00.
Dr. Oz Top Diet Mistakes
There are as many diet mistakes made as
there are diets out there. Many women, including Dr. Oz's audience
assistant, go from diet to diet trying to find something that works.
If they don't get results, they stop in as short as 2 weeks – it's
called Two-Weeking.
Dr. Oz Diet Mistake #1: Thinking
Gluten-Free is Healthier
Dr. Oz says the marketing trend in
gluten-free products drive him batty. When something is taken out of
the gluten-containing food something has to be added and often that
is more calories, sugar and fat. Some gluten-free foods have more
calories than their gluten-filled counter parts.
If you're going to eat foods labeled
gluten-free, Dr. Oz said, you better have a gluten problem. He
recommends to eat foods that contain whole grains and there are many
available that are naturally gluten-free like amaranth, buckwheat,
quinoa, and teff. Stay away from the highly processed foods labeled
gluten-free.
[While I agree that there are many
over-processed, calorie-laden gluten-free foods, there are also many
that are labeled gluten-free that also have whole grains. Many people
who choose gluten-free products think they are getting a healthier
cookie because of the label however, a gluten-free cookie is also
going to be high in sugar and carbohydrates and contain bleached
grains. Tinkyada brand offers
pasta with brown rice that is also gluten-free.]
Dr. Oz Diet Mistake #2: Over-Fruit
If fruit is good then more fruit is
better, right? That's an idea getting many dieters in trouble. Some
fruit are low on the glycemic index while others are quite high.
Foods that raise blood sugar levels are pineapples, melons, and dried
fruit so keep serving sizes small and have them as an occasional
treat.
Dr. Oz Diet Mistake #3: Over-Relying
on Protein Bars
Protein in protein bars has been over
processed then lost of sugar and fat is added. If you want protein,
Dr. Oz recommends eating protein. Beanitos
chips are a different take on tortilla chips. Beanitos
is based on black beans instead of corn and they are low in low in
calories and low in sugar with fiber and protein.
Dr. Oz Diet Mistake #4:
Making Juice Your Go-To Drink
Many people are moving away from soda
but replacing it with high sugar fruit juices. If you're working to
lose weight, Dr. Oz recommends drinking only 8 ounces of fruit juice
a day. Another option is Herbal Tisane tea. Black and green teas are
made from the leaves while Tisane is made from other parts of the
plant. Brew a pitcher of Tisane, add lemon and/or lime and enjoy the
caffeine-free fruity flavor.
Dr. Oz Fast Fixes for
Embarrassing Problems
Dr. Oz Fast Fix for Female
Facial Hair
This is a commonly asked question, says
Dr. Oz. Female facial hair can begin as peach fuzz then quickly turn
into a female mustache or even a beard. As women age, we produce less
estrogen and more testosterone which encourages more hair growth
during menopause. Genetics also plays a role in how much facial hair
a woman may have. Dr. Oz has two great ideas to help reduce female
facial hair.
Dr. Oz Fast Fix
for Facial Hair #1: Sugar-Based Hair Removal
A sugar based hair removal product can
be used at-home and, says Dr. Oz, is not as irritating as wax-based
removers. The product he showed was more like a thick honey then a
wax but it's applied just like wax and pulled off with cloth.
Cost is about $30.00.
Dr.
Oz Fast Fix for Facial Hair #2: Facial
Hair Removal Cream
In a two step process, facial hair
removal cream is applied to the area and allowed to sit and weaken
the hair then simply scrap off the hair. Use every few weeks as
needed.
Dr. Oz Fast Fix for Night
Sweating
A member of the audience shared that
soon after falling asleep she wakes up and her head is hot and
covered in sweat. Dr. Oz explained that when you lie down more blood
goes to the head creating more heat and lots of sweat. It's a fairly
common problem. Dr. Oz recommends using an antiperspirant around the
hair line to prevent sweating.
[Antiperspirants contain aluminum which
has been associated with health concerns and increased risks of
disease. Putting an antiperspirant on the scalp doesn't appeal to me,
in fact, makes me extremely nervous. Looking into ways to naturally
support the balancing of hormones may be a safer solution.]
Dr. Oz also recommended using a
rejuvenator fan at your bedside which features a timer and delayed
start to keep you cool after you go to sleep.
Dr. Oz Fast Fix for Bloating
and Gas
To help ease the discomfort of bloating
and gas and support digestion, Dr. Oz recommended drinking ginger
tea. He also recommended Beano,
in either liquid or capsule form, to support the breakdown of
starches.
When eating a meal such as a chicken
sandwich and apple for lunch, most folks start with the sandwich then
end with the apple. Hundreds of years of ayurvedic medicine
recommends eating the apple first then the protein. Upon entering the
digestive tract, proteins slow the entire process down which is good
to help you feel full but when you an after after that protein the it
gets caught up in the slowed traffic causing gas and bloating. Switch
the order and have the sugar first and then protein.
Dr. Oz Secret Weapons to Fight
Fat and Fatigue
Our metabolism changes as we age but
that doesn't mean we have to live with it. Dr. Oz has two tips to
fight fat and two tips to fight fatigue and all the tips come from
food.
Dr. Oz Secret to Fight Fat:
Riboflavin
Riboflavin, or Vitamin B-2, helps other
vitamins to do their job. Dr. Oz recommends getting your B-2 from
three 8 ounce glasses of 2% milk daily. He says to buy milk in an
opaque container as milk in a clear bottle exposed to two hours of
light can destroy the natural Vitamin D.
Dr. Oz Secret to Fight Fat: Calcium
Calcium can help to rid the body of fat
by binding with excess fat and drawing it out of the body. Dr. Oz
recommends turnip green, 1 cup daily, to prevent the absorption of
fat.
Dr. Oz Secret to Fight Fatigue: Iron
Iron is the most common vitamin
deficiency in America. Meat is one source of iron but 1 cup of
lentils has twice as much iron as a steak. Iron carries oxygen
through the body to produce energy. Add Vitamin C with your turnips,
in the form of a drink or a food, to help aid in iron absorption.
Dr. Oz Secret to Fight Fatigue: Corn
An energy drink will give you a high
and an even stronger low. Dr. Oz recommends corn to provide long
lasting energy from magnesium which also supports vital metabolic
processes. He recommends 1-1/2 cups of sweet corn daily to boost
energy so you'll feel less tired.
Dr. Oz Girl's Night Out
Anti-Aging Cocktails
The best
medicine for women is cocktails and a night out with the girls. But
those libations pack a whole lot of calories. Dr.
Mixologist Darryl Robinson, host of the Cooking
Channel show Drink Up, and Julieanna
Hever, RD, The Plant-Based Dietitian and author of The
Complete Idiot's Guide to Plant-Based Nutrition, combine to
turbo charge your diet while enjoying cocktails.
Dr. Oz challenged Dr. Robinson and Ms.
Hever to mix up the perfect anti-aging cocktails that are low in
calories. The kept it fresh with antioxidant powerhouse berries and
Mr. Robinson used healthier sweetener options by focusing on agave,
maple syrup, and honey.
Ms. Hever wanted to make sure the
drinks were high in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to give the
necessary nutrients to support collage production and to remove
harmful free-radicals that make the skin age too fast.
Their three drinks met all the
nutritional criteria Dr. Oz set while satisfying the taste-testers
with sweet and complex flavors.
The wine and blackberries in this
cocktail are rich in antioxidants, while the vitamin C in the fruit
helps to fight wrinkles.
1 bottle Pinot Noir
4 oz Reposado Tequila (agave plant
base)
4 oz peach nectar
2 cups orange/pineapple juice
2-3 plums
1 whole pineapple
2.6 oz cartons black berries
2-3 oranges
Fill large pitcher with ice and fruit.
Pour in bottle of wine. Add tequila and peach purée. Add
orange/pineapple juice. Garnish with orange slice and serve.
The ginger in this drink helps to
protect the brain from damage and relieves stress. The key to mixing
up this drink is the smack the mint and muddle, or mash, the fruit to
release the flavors.
1.5 oz rum
8-10 mint leaves
2 slices mango
2 slices ginger
1 oz fresh lime juice
1 splash club soda
1 natural sweetener packet
In Collins glass, muddle the ginger and
mango. Add mint leaves without muddling. Add rum, ice and sweetener
packet. Pour into to shaker and shake. Pour into glass and top with
club soda.
Green tea contains ECGC, an antioxidant
that supports both health and beauty by stimulating circulation to
give the skin that attractive glow. Dr. Oz says green tea is also
great for weight loss. The Green-Tini also features liquid
chlorophyll to not only color up the drink but helps to oxygenate the
blood and provide energy.
2 oz vodka
2 oz green tea
1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
2 drops chlorophyll extract
1 splash agave nectar
Pomegranate seeds
In a shaker, combine ice, vodka, brewed
green tea, lemon juice, chlorophyll extract and agave nectar. Shake
and serve in martini glasses with pomegranate seeds at the bottom for
garnish.
Dr. Oz Bonus Tips! Simple Foods
for Common Complaints
Dr. Oz Simple Foods Tip #1: Sesame
Seeds
Sesame seeds are rich in magnesium and
a support the production of serotonin in the brain, one of the
feel-good hormones. Sesame seeds are also high in Vitamin E and are
recommended to reduce the risks of migraine headaches.
Dr. Oz Simple Foods Tip #2: Water

Dr. Oz talked about a drinking more water. He said to add grapefruit, tangerine, mint and two other fruits? Please advise if you know what they are?
ReplyDelete1/2 sliced cucumbers to help you stay full. I wrote this down and didn't list 2 other fruits. If you're talking about the episode with Kim Lyons...10 day fat loss...drink 3 8oz glasses before meals so you won't eat as much.
