The Answer: Coconut water
On the 5/15/12 episode of The Dr. Oz Show, Defy Your Age, Dr. Oz challenged his audience to guess the age of his next guest Dr. Rovenia M. Brock, PhD, nutrition coach. Known as Dr. Ro, this doctor figured out the right form of food to take years off her face. How many years?
The average age the audience guessed
was 34. Dr. Ro's actual age is 56! Remarkable, says Dr. Oz. Age is
from the neck up, says Dr. Ro, and she shared her age-defying secrets
with Dr. Oz.
Dr. Oz Defy Your Age: Fountain
of Youth Shake
Dr. Ro drinks her Fountain of Youth
Shake daily to hydrate the skin, detoxify and prevent premature aging
that makes you look older, and provide antioxidants that prevent
wrinkles from forming.
1 cup coconut water
2-3 wheatgrass ice cubes
2 handfuls spinach
4 pineapple spears
Half lemon, peeled
1 small green apple
1 tablespoon ginger
Mix up ingredients in a blender and
enjoy.
Onion
On
the 4/27/12 episode, Dr. Oz featured several of his
favorite kitchen items and on that list was onions. Flavonoids in
onions are beneficial to heart health. Dr. Oz recommends eating red
onions for their greater nutritional content. When using onions, peel
off the paper layer but leave that first fleshy layer right beneath.
That layer is the most important part of the onion and should be
eaten immediately to get the greatest concentration of flavonoids.
Store onions in a cool, dark area of the kitchen or pantry and
refrigerate them after cutting.
Celery
Drinking celery juice, a natural
diuretic, can play a role in removing excess fluid from the body.
Celery has also been recommended for heart health, blood pressure
support, and as a health water-filled snack.
Seaweed
On the 12/12/11
episode, Dr. Oz talked about brown seaweed and its potent powers
to burn belly fat, if you take it in pill form he clarified.
Containing fucoxanthin, brown seaweed is supposed to super charge the
metabolism.
[Dr. Oz says that this is new, however
Garden
of Life has been selling a product called FucoTHIN for years
which contains fucoxanthin. Brown seaweed is not new, it's new to Dr.
Oz.]
Dr. Oz recommends taking 500mg of brown
seaweed daily to support losing belly fat, liver fat and support
healthy cholesterol levels in the blood.
[LiveStrong.com has an article about brown seaweed extract with a caution for people who experience blood clotting issues. Brown seaweed slows the body's ability to clot. Read more here.]

Seaweed has also been recommended for
skin care as a facial scrub and for soaking in the tub. On the
10/27/11 episode, Dr. Oz recommended soaking in seaweed once a week.
Add four sheets of seaweed to the bath, he explained, to help reduce
the appearance of cellulite.
