Dr. Oz's Dream Team Summer
Survival Guide
Dr. Oz has brought together his dream
team of four experts to provide the tips you need to stay healthy
this summer season.
Dr. Oz Summer Survival Guide:
Keep Bugs At Bay
David Mizejewski, naturalist with the
National Wildlife Federation [as well as author
and host of Animal
Planet's Backyard Habitat], says one of the biggest
misconceptions is thinking bug lights will keep them away. Bugs
attracted to light are beneficial bugs therefore a bug light is
making it harder to keep the biting bugs away.
Dr. Oz Survival Guide for Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are not great fliers. Mr.
Mizejewski recommends using a fan to keep most mosquitoes away. For
the rest, he suggests bug spray with no more than 30% DEET
concentration or a natural bug spray with lemon and eucalyptus oils.
Dr. Oz Survival Guide for Ticks
Ticks, related to spiders, can carry
Lyme Disease. If you are bit by a tick, Mr. Mizejewski says it's
important not to smother them with petroleum jelly, don't rub them
off, and don't try to burn them off. Those methods will simply cause
the tick to regurgitate into the open wound potentially causing an
injection.
Mr. Mizejewski recommends to pluck out
the tick as soon as possible using tweezers as near the head as
possible. The longer the tick is in the skin the more likely it is to
spread disease. If the head is still in the skin he says not to worry
about it. Disinfect the area with alcohol and keep an eye on it. If
the area turns red and looks like a bulls eye that's an indication of
Lyme Disease and requires immediate attention.
Pets can carry ticks inside the home so
Mr. Mizejewski recommends using a tick repellent on pets if you live
in an area with lots of ticks.
Dr. Oz Summer Survival Guide:
Fast First Aid Fixes
Leigh Vincour, MD, emergency physician
[and regular blogger
on DoctorOz.com] of shares her first aid fixes for common summer
problems.
Dr. Oz Survival Guide for Heat
Stroke
It doesn't have to be hot for people to
experience heat stroke. Dehydration, taking prescription medication
that have a diuretic effect, drinking alcohol are all factors that
increase the risk for heat stroke even when it may not seem that hot
outside.
Signs of heat stroke:
- Dehydration
- Excessive sweating with goosbumps
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Disorientation – when a the condition progresses to disorientation it becomes heat stroke and and emergency situation, call 9-1-1 right away.
The key to minimize the early symptoms
of heat stroke before it progresses to a serious condition is to get
the person out of the heat and into a cooler area ideally with
air-conditioning, if that's not possible then using wet towels or
instant cool packs can help to reduce body temperature. If the person
can drink it's important to rehydrate, Dr. Vincour recommends
electrolytes to aid in hydration.
Dr. Oz Survival Guide for Swimming
Risks
If swimming in a chlorinated pool don't
think that the chlorine will kill all bacteria, says Dr. Vincour. The
amount of chlorine in the pool may not be strong enough to kill every
contaminant. Leaves in the pool, changing a diaper near the pool,
people with intestinal issue swimming in the pool can all introduce
bacteria into the pool.
Sea water can harbor contagions such as
e. coli and flesh-eating strep. A sewage plant near a beach could be
polluting the water and other runoffs near the beach could cause
problems.
If you have an open cut, Dr. Vincour
recommends washing the wound with soap and water after going in the
water.
Dr. Oz Survival Guide for Poison Ivy
Leaves of three, let them be. It may
not be so simple to avoid poison ivy. Resins in the poison ivy can
last for weeks on gardening tools and on pets too. Dr. Vincour
recommends spraying and aluminum-based antiperspirant on the body to
keep poison ivy resins from touching the skin. Wash thoroughly with
soap and water after being outside. If you are exposed to poison ivy
and develop a rash, Dr. Vincour says to not scratch, that could cause
an infection.
Dr. Oz Summer Survival Guide:
Food Poisoning Prevention Plan
Dr. Oz Summer Guide to Marinating
Marinades may boost the flavor of foods
but it does nothing to kill bacteria, says Celebrity
Chef George Duran. To prevent bacteria from forming, Chef Duran
recommends marinating foods in a resealable plastic bag in the
refrigerator.
Dr. Oz Summer Guide to Cooking
Temperatures
Chef Duran explains that a thermometer
is the best way to check if meat is fully cooked. There are new
thermometer products on the market that will contact your smart phone
when food reach a set temperature.
Dr. Oz Summer Guide to Eating
Outdoors
The standard belief is that food can be
kept out of the refrigerator for two hours before bacteria begins to
grow. Chef Duran says in 90F temperatures, food can only be out for
one hour before the dreaded bacteria reproduces. To extend that time,
he recommends putting the bowl of food on top of a bowl of ice to
keep foods cold longer.
Dr. Oz: Sun Screen Survival Guide
Dr. Ellen Marmur, MD, dermatologist,
discussed four ways to avoid a sun burn. The skin is our largest
organ so how can it be protected while trying to understand the
changing FDA rules for labeling sunscreen?
Dr. Oz Sun Screen Survival Guide Tip
#1: Look for “Broad Spectrum”
The FDA has made a few changes to the
words used on sun screen labels. Instead of “UVA/UVB” on the
label, the FDA has said sun screens need to use the words “broad
spectrum”. As the language is phased in, you'll see both “UVA/UVA”
and “broad spectrum” on
products.
Dr. Marmur recommends Nia24
Sun Damage Prevention 100% Mineral Sun Screen SPF 30, cost: about
$45.00. This mineral based sun screen goes on white and goes clear
when rubbed into the skin.
Dr. Oz Sun Screen Survival Guide Tip
#2: Don't be Foolded by High SPF
SPF stand for Sun Protection Factor.
The math to figure out SPF coverage can be daunting, says Dr. Marmur.
She says the SPF sweet spot is between 30 and 50. Know that SPF 10
means that you can stay out in the sun for 10 times longer without
getting burned [it all depends on your personal sensitivity too]. SPF
50 is the maximum number that the FDA has tested.
Dr. Marmur recommends Solar
Sense Clear Zinc. She explained that when the FDA tests sun
screen it is applied thick, as thick as icing on a cake. If you're
applying sun screen and rubbing it on the SPF coverage is reduced. A
product with SPF 50 applied thin will only provide an SPF of about 15
so you'll have to reapply much more frequently to prevent sun damage.
Dr. Oz Sun Screen Survival Guide Tip
#3: Know The Truth Of Water Proof
Dr. Marmur explains that there is no
such thing as water proof sun screen. The product has to say water
resistant. Know that a water resistant sun screen will be sticky,
that helps it to stay on skin when wet or while sweating. Look on the
label for the reapplication time, often it is 40 or 80 minutes.
Dr. Marmur recommends Neutrogena
Pure & Free Baby Sun Screen SPF 50+ tear free. It's not just
for baby but for all ages. Tear free means it is less likely to
irritate the eyes so it's appropriate for the face.
Dr. Oz Sun Screen Survival Guide Tip
#4: “All-Day Protection” is a Lie
There is no such thing as a sun screen
that can provide all-day protection with only one application, it
must be reapplied. Tanned skin is a sign of sun damage, damage is not
only getting a sun burn.
Dr. Marmur recommends using L'Oreal
Sublime Sun Advanced Sunscreen SPF 30 Crystal Clear Mist. It's
easy to spray it on the kids and those, she calls, in sun screen
denial.
Dr. Oz Deals with Biggest Diet
Destroyers
Dr. Oz shares slim down secrets to keep
you healthy and get you swim suit ready. Kristen Kirkpatrick,
Wellness Manager for the Cleveland Clinc [and regular blogger
on DoctorOz.com] says summer is the perfect time to slim down
with abundant fruits and vegetables from stores, farmers markets, and
your own garden.
Dr. Oz Diet Destroyers: Junk
Food Junkie
Junk food junkies are mindless eaters
who typically eat throughout day never realizing they are taking in
tremendous calories. Ms. Kirkpatrick recommends swapping out higher
calorie foods with ones that are lower calorie, will satisfy and keep
you feeling full so you're less likely to keep grazing.
For potato chips, Ms. Kirkpatrick
recommends homemade turnip chips.
Turnip Chips
1 turnip, sliced
A drizzle of olive oil
A sprinkle of sea salt
Slice 1 turnip. Place slices on a
cookie sheet; drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake
a t 425F for about 25 minutes.
Ms. Kirkpatrick recommends starting the
day with a consistent meal. She says one hard boiled egg on a whole
wheat English muffin with ½ teaspoon of black pepper will provide
healthy fat, metabolism fueling protein and the black pepper will
help to stop the formation of new fat cells, according to new
research.
Dr. Oz Diet Destroyers: Stress
Eating
Stress
eaters are eating comfort food, looking for pleasure from food. Ms.
Kirkpatrick says to eat foods that fuel the body not the stress. She
recommends eating a combination of sweet potatoes and parsley in a
hummus. The sweet potato is a complex carbohydrate that will keep you
satisfied and keep the stress levels down by effecting
neurotransmitters to help you feel calm. Use it as a spread or as a
dip.
Sweet
Potato Hummus
15 ounce baked sweet potatoes, skin
removed
1 (4 ounce) jar roasted red peppers,
drained, blackened skin removed
3 tablespoons lemon juice
½ teaspoon fresh garlic, fine dice
½ teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
In a food processor, purée the sweet
potato, roasted red peppers, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, cayenne, and
salt. Process, until the mixture is fairly smooth. Transfer to a
serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Sprinkle the hummus
with chopped parsley before serving.
Stress
eaters often turn to ice cream for a comforting treat. Ms.
Kirkpatrick recommends swapping the ice cream for a summer slim down
peach popsicle. Almond milk provides the creaminess and peaches
supply the sweetness as well as fiber, the key to losing weight.
Peach
Poolside Popsicle
1 cup almond milk
1 banana, chopped
2 large peaches, diced
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp agave nectar
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
Blend all ingredients together until
smooth. A few chunks of fruit are fine for texture. Pour into a
popsicle mold. Freeze for 3-6 hours and enjoy
Dr. Oz Diet Destroyers: Portion
Control
Ms.
Kirkpatrick recommends a resistant starch that is found in beans and
fruit and is also available in a powder to keep you full and help to
reduce how much food eaten each meal. She recommends making a Greek
yogurt and berry slurry as a mid-afternoon snack, before dinner, or
before an event to limit calories.
Greek
Yogurt and Berry Slurry
6 oz plain Greek yogurt
10 oz of frozen mixed berries
1 tbsp resistant starch powder
1 tsp agave nectar
Microwave frozen berries until thawed;
add agave nectar and blend together with berries. Add berries to
yogurt and mix together all remaining ingredients.
Along
with portion control comes the ability to access
hunger and understand
when you should eat and when you shouldn't. Ms. Kirkpatrick explained
the hunger scale, a way to measure hunger on a scale from 1 to 10.
1 –
3 represents an empty stomach and to eat with caution to not avoid
overeating
4 –
6 is neutral, the best time to eat when you feel a little hungry and
it's been several hours since eating last
8 –
10 is when you feel uncomfortably full, ask yourself why you are
eating
