Dr. Oz: The Top Cancer-Fighting
Foods Dr. Oz Wants on Your Grocery List
Four women were sent to specific aisles
of the grocery store to find the foods they thought would help reduce
cancer risks. Dr. Oz specified their food choices must be inexpensive
and easy to find.
Dr. William Li, President
of the Angiogenesis Foundation and an expert in cancer-fighting
research, joins Dr. Oz to discuss some of the latest research into
foods and their power to reduce cancer risks. Dr. Li says some foods
cut off the blood supply to cancer cells causing them to starve and
die.
Dr. Oz Cancer-Fighting Foods from
the Dairy Aisle
In the dairy aisle, the Dr. Oz shopper
chose Chobani Greek yogurt.
She's ahead of the curve, said Dr. Oz, because probiotics have been
shown to prevent colon cancer. [But yogurt didn't make his
cancer-fighting grocery list. Hmmm...]
Dr. Oz's choice for cancer-fighting
food from the dairy aisle is cheese and Jarlsburg
cheese in particular. Specific kinds of cheese, he said, is getting
attention because they have been shown to reduce the risks for lung
cancer, the number one killing cancer for both men and women. If you
don't smoke you could still be at risk for lung cancer. Twenty
percent of women diagnosed with lung cancer have never smoked.
Dr. Li says Jarlsburg cheese tastes a
lot like Swiss cheese with a nutty, buttery flavor. The key to
Jarlsburg's cancer-fighting power is the Vitamin
K2 produced by the bacteria that makes the cheese. Studies
show that eating foods rich in Vitamin K can provide a 62% reduction
in lung cancer risks.
Dr. Oz Cancer-Fighting Foods from
the Produce Aisle
Blueberries was the cancer-fighting
food chosen by Dr. Oz's shopper from the produce aisle. Blueberries
is on Dr. Oz's Cancer-Fighting Grocery List. Dr. Oz highlighted
bananas from his grocery list. Dr. Li explained that catechins [an
antioxidant] as well as Vitamins A and C found in bananas have been
shown to prevent breast cancer. In a study, people who ate bananas
saw a 40% reduction in breast cancer risks.
Also from the produce aisle, Dr. Oz
recommends tangerines and clementines. Dr. Li says the citrus fruits
are both sweet and juicy like oranges but are more intense with
hesperidin,
a flavanone. Studies showed that 490,000 people who drank two glasses
of tangerine juice daily saw 42% drop in esophageal cancer risks.
Dr. Oz Cancer-Fighting Foods from
the Frozen Aisle
The next viewer chosen cancer-fighting
food, this time from the frozen aisle, is broccoli. Broccoli is on
Dr. Oz's cancer-fighting grocery list but it's not the item he wants
to highlight. Dr. Oz featured frozen squash saying it can reduce the
risks of a serious cancer, Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Dr. Li explained
that show people who eat yellow and orange vegetables, such as
squash, that contains lutein and zeaxanthin saw a 28% reduction in
the risks for Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The advantage of frozen veggies
is they are available all year and the foods retain their nutrients.
Dr. Oz Cancer-Fighting Foods from
the Seafood Aisle
Trina, audience shopper, said she was
going to choose shrimp but went with salmon instead because she loves
the flavor. Dr. Oz says if you like the taste of these healthy foods
it provides a huge step forward as you're more likely to go back to
that food often.
Salmon is a great choice and it's on
Dr. Oz's grocery list yet he featured squid as a less expensive
option. Most people are familiar with squid in the form of fried
calamari – not the healthy form he's talking about, grilled or
baked squid is preferred. Dr. Li explained that squid contains heart
healthy omega-3 fatty acids that can also help women reduce their
risks of breast cancer. In a study of 35,000 women who ate a 3 ounce
serving of squid, half the size of your palm, regularly their breast
cancer risks were reduced by 26%.
Dr. Oz wanted viewers to understand
that the studies mentioned in this segment were conducted with
thousands of people who saw huge reductions in cancer risks that have
not been achieved with drugs. Dr. Li added that the studies were
commissioned by public healthcare organizations and not can drug
manufacturers showing that real people eating real foods can make
power impacts to their health.
Dr. Oz Cancer-Fighting Meals and
Kitchen Tools
Dr. Oz Cancer-Fighting Kitchen Tool
#1: Stainless Steel Saute Pan
Dr. Li shares that stainless steel
cooking pans are a healthier way to cook. Stainless steel heats fast
and seals in flavor. Cost for stainless steel saute pans average
about $40.00.

#2: Zester
A zester is used to scrape the skin of
citrus fruit – lemon, orange – which has a high concentration of
cancer-fighting nutrients. If you're concerned with pesticides found
on conventional fruit, Dr. Li recommends opting for organic fruit.
Cost for a zester averages about $10.00.

#3: Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Dr. Li recommends using extra virgin
olive oil EVOO but not just any oil, he says the best olive oils come
from the best olives, super olives in fact. Dr. Li explains there are
three super olives:
- Picual olives from Spain,
- Moralio olives from Greece, and
- Koroneiki olives from Italy.
These super olives contain high
polyphenols antioxidants. How can you tell if your EVOO has these
super olives? Dr. Li says you can tell by the color and taste of the
oil and look at the label.

Dr. Oz Vitamin D Diet for Weight
Loss
Vitamin D has been known to play a role
in reducing the risks of osteoporosis, high blood pressure, and
cancer. Dr. Oz says Vitamin D has been called the nutritional
darling. Over 3,000 studies have confirmed that Vitamin D is critical
for bone health, plays a vital role in immune functioning, and
supports healthy inflammation.
New information shows that Vitamin D's
most critical role may be in weight loss, appetite control, and
burning fat. Dr. Keri Peterson,
MD, medical contributor to Women's
Health Magazine and one of the authors of The
Vitamin D Diet, says Vitamin D makes fat cells more
metabolically active, which means burning fat more effeciently
particularly belly fat.
Dr. Peterson joins Dr. Oz to share, as
her book does, how to incorporate Vitamin D into your diet. She
explains The Vitamin D Diet is a five-week plan to shift people from
a fat-storing mode to a fat-burning mode. Most people will lost the
most weight within the first week and by then end of the diet may
expect to lose as much as 15 pounds.
The Vitamin D Diet, explains Dr.
Peterson, provides a variety of food all rich in Vitamin D to
stimulate the hormone leptin which tells the brain that the stomach
is full while limiting calories to about 1,400.
Dr. Peterson takes Dr. Oz and viewers
through a typical day on The Vitamin D Diet.
Dr. Oz Vitamin D Breakfast
– Get Fortified
Dr. Peterson says to look for foods
that are fortified with Vitamin D to eat for breakfast. Two fortified
eggs with fortified bread can rack up 300iu of Vitamin D. If cereal
is your favorite breakfast food then going for fortified cereal with
two cups of fortified milk and orange juice can still give you 300iu
of Vitamin D.
Dr. Oz Vitamin D Lunch
– Go Fishing
Go fishing for lunch to get your
Vitamin D. One serving of fresh salmon can provide 1,000iu of Vitamin
D. A salad topped with 5 ounces of canned salmon provides 775iu of
Vitamin D and pair that with 6 ounces of yogurt can to bring in
another 80iu. If you don't like salmon, canned tuna or shrimp are
good options as well.
Dr. Oz Vitamin D Dinner
- Pick Mushrooms
A unique solution to increasing your
Vitamin D intake is to eat mushrooms that have been treated with UV
light at end of harvest to increase the amount of D in the food. The
Monterey brand mushrooms
are treated with UV light and can provide 400iu of Vitamin D in a 3
ounce serving.
Dr. Peterson shared her Mushroom
Artichoke Penne from The
Vitamin D Diet, a great
dinner to boost your Vitamin D and it has only 350 calories per
serving. Click
here for the Mushroom Artichoke Penne recipe from DoctorOz.com.
Dr. Oz Vitamin D Supplements
Dr. Peterson says for people who may
not want to be on the The
Vitamin D Diet plan every day Vitamin D comes in several
supplement forms from capsules and chewable to liquid. Dr. Oz also
recommended getting Vitamin D the natural way, from the sun. Ten to
fifteen minutes of sun exposure, without sunscreen will provide a
daily dose of Vitamin D.

Dr. Oz Diet Rules You Should
Break
When it comes to weight loss it may
look like a bunch a rules. More rules, the more you want to break
them. Dr. Oz says rebellion has advantages. He shares five old rules
for weight loss that should be broken.
Dr. Oz Weight Loss Rules to Break
#1: Eat 7 Servings of Fruits and Veggies
New Rule: Fill
half your plate with produce
That's an outdated model of eating
instead, Dr. Oz says you're better off filling half your plate with
fruits or vegetable or both. It doesn't matter if your eating a
frozen dinner, eating out, or making your meal make sure half the
plate is plants.
Dr. Oz Weight Loss Rules to Break
#2: Avoid Red Meat
New Rule: Eat
lean red meat in moderation
Dr. Oz says you don't have to avoid red
meat just eat it in moderation and choose the healthiest cuts of
meat. He recommends sirloin, top round, and ground meat and make sure
it is at least 90% lean.
Dr. Oz Weight Loss Rules to Break
#3: Drink 8 Glasses of Water Daily
New Rule: Eat
Your Water
Many foods that are good for us have
lots of water. Watermelon is 90% water. Other water filled foods
include lettuce, citrus, and soups. Instead of counting glasses of
water, Dr. Oz says another good measurement is if you're urine is
clear you're getting plenty of water or if you're urinating 6-7 times
a day you're doing well on water intake.
Dr. Oz Weight Loss Rules to Break
#4: Exercise 60 Minutes Daily
New Rule: 30
minutes 5-6 times a week
Take a walk, move around, do simple
things like fidgeting that add up a lot of movement through the day.
Dr. Oz recommends incorporating more simple activities into your day
to complete the 30 minute exercise goal. Move the garbage can further
away to force you to get up, use the stairs instead of the elevator,
and park further away from the store to encourage you to walk more.
Dr. Oz Weight Loss Rules to Break
#5: Skip Dessert
New Rule: Eat
Something Sweet
Dr. Oz has said many times that
deprivation to lose weight never works. He suggests having your
dessert but make it just sweet enough to satisfy without going crazy
with calories.
Dr. Oz made a Chocolate
Berry Parfait with only 105 calories per serving.
¼ cup low-fat ricotta cheese – the
creaminess will satisfy the taste buds
1 teaspoon of cocoa powder
¼ cup fresh berries
Mix the cocoa powder with the ricotta
cheese then top with berries.
