Dr. Oz:
Recharge Your Body 5 Ways in 5 Days
This episode is
dedicated to recharging your energy. Tired? Can't focus? Trouble
losing weight? Dr. Oz said he's got the solutions for energy, time
savers, and tips to lose weight.
Dr. Oz asked online
fans, which day of the week do you feel most tired? Fans responded:
- Monday 36.1%
- Friday 18.3%
- Other day 45.6%
So, pretty much the
entire week. Dr. Oz says his recharge program is best started on the
day you feel most tired. Each day of the five day program, add one
new thing to support energy so that by the end of the week, he says,
you'll be recharged and full of energy.
Angelina, a mom of
three, says she struggles with keeping up with her kids, housework,
and starting her own business. She's tired every day of the week
however Monday is her lowest energy day as she recovers from the
weekend of running the kids around, laundry, and cleaning.

Day 1: Astragalus
Day one begins with
what Dr. Oz calls the perfect supplement that can target a main
driver of aging. Dr. Oz explained that there is a special chemical in
astragalus that slows down the aging process. With an animation, Dr.
Oz showed that aging causes a breakdown of DNA at the cell level
which plays havoc with our DNA replication. Astragalus slows down
that burning of the DNA. Dr. Oz recommended taking 200mg of
astragalus twice a day, once in the morning and once at night.

Day 2: Brewer's Yeast
Which meals boost your energy? Brewer's
yeast can provide steady energy throughout the day. It contains
chromium which plays a role in balancing blood sugar. Sprinkle one to
two tablespoons of brewer's yeast on all your foods throughout the
day. Add brewer's yeast to salad, top popcorn, add to baked good,
sprinkle on toast and eggs.
Dr. Oz Recharge
Day 3: Papaya Juice
Replace your coffee with papaya juice
to support energy throughout the day. Papaya contains an enzyme
called papain which supports digestion and the breakdown and
assimilation of nutrients, protein in particular, in your meal. After
eating, if you're feeling sluggish it could be related to an
inability to get those vital nutrients from food.
Dr. Oz Recharge
Day 4: Brazil Nuts
For a healthy snack, Dr. Oz says to
reach for Brazil nuts. Filled with magnesium, fiber, protein, and
healthy fats, Brazil nuts can be a energizing and satisfying snack.
Eat a few Brazil nuts everyday to boost energy.
Dr.
Oz Recharge Day 5: HGH
Dr. Oz says this step can double your
energy. Can you get the energy you had 20 years ago? HGH – human
growth hormone – is produced by the pituitary gland. HGH is
necessary to grow from a child to an adult but it also plays a role
in muscle health, skin health, even the metabolism. Scientists have
found that a special blend of amino acids support natural levels of
HGH.
In a study, participants found that
their HGH level increased 6 times over their pre-study level and they
reported faster metabolism and an increase in endurance. With an
animation, Dr. Oz explained how HGH powers the muscles and gives our
skin that bounce. Aging causes a decrease in the natural production
of HGH causing fat to accumulate faster and allows the skin to sag.
Dr. Oz: Build HGH Naturally
Since the day he started The Dr. Oz
Show, Dr. Oz said he's been trying to find a natural way to produce
HGH. He has found three ways to increase HGH naturally with the help
of Leslie Bonci, sports nutritionist and Directory of the UPMC Center
for Sports Medicine.
Dr. Oz HGH Builder #1: Muscle
Resistance
Ms. Bonci said that muscle resistance
exercises are one of the keys to increase natural levels of HGH.
Lifting weights, body weight exercises, and exercise bands are all
great ways to increase muscle strength and encourage the body to
increase its production of HGH.
Dr. Oz HGH Builder #2: Deep Sleep
Sleep is vital to so many natural
processes. Sleep is the time when the body restores itself. During
the first hour of deep sleep, explained Ms. Bonci, the body restores
and increases HGH levels. To encourage better sleep, Ms. Bonci said
that two hours before going to sleep: no exercise and no eating. Be
sure to create a comfortable and cool environment in your bedroom to
encourage sleep. [On previous episodes, Dr. Oz has said that a room
temperature of 66F is ideal for falling asleep and staying asleep.]
Dr. Oz HGH Builder #3: Amino Acids
Amino acids are the building blocks of
protein and they also play a role in HGH production. We get amino
acids from both animal sources of protein as well as plant sources of
protein. Eating a healthy and well-balanced diet can provide most of
the amino acids needed to create HGH but if your HGH levels are
dwindling then supplementation may be needed...read on...
Dr. Oz: Amino Acids for HGH
Production
The latest health news says a special
blend of four amino acids can naturally support the creation of more
HGH. Dr. Oz said your GOAL is to find the right amino acids and you
can get them all in one product. Use the acronym GOAL to know you're
getting the right amino acids.
Dr. Oz: Amino Acid GOAL
G is for Glycine to help build
muscle, store energy, and support good sleep.
O is for ornithine to support
energy production.
A is for arginine to help build
energy by regulating blood pressure, taking stress off the heart, and
may play a role in fat metabolism.
L is for lysine which helps turn
fat foods into energy instead of storing it.
Dr. Oz: Self-Test for Immune
Support
A strong immune system is linked to
better energy levels. Dr. Oz says there are four self-tests that can
be done anywhere at any time to determine which vitamins you may
need.
Dr. Oz Immunity Self-Test #1: Breast
Bone Tenderness
Take the thumb and press it on breast
bone, be gentle now. If this area feels tender to the pressure from
the thumb, Dr. Oz said there could be a Vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin
D is related to bone health and plays a big role in immune health.
Dr. Oz Immunity Self-Test #2:
Balance
Stand up, put the feet together, close
the eyes and stick out the right foot holding it out for 3 seconds.
If you can't hold your balance for three seconds, Dr. Oz said there
could be a B12 deficiency. Vitamin B12 plays a role in nervous system
function as well as immune function.
Dr. Oz Immunity Self-Test #3: Mouth
Sores
Look closely in the mirror for cracks
at the corner of lips. Then look inside the mouth for any sores under
tongue, on the cheeks, on the inside of the lips. Collette, from the
audience, said she had a sore and Dr. Oz took a closer look. She had
a little bump, or blister, in the mouth Dr. Oz said was a canker
sore. Canker sores could be a sign of Vitamin B6 deficiency. Low
levels of B6 are linked to low immune system function. Other signs of
a possible Vitamin B6 deficiency is dry, rough, cracked skin;
brittle hair; as well as peeling and splitting of the nails.
Dr. Oz: Super Power Protein for
Weight Loss
Dr. Oz had three viewers try pea
protein powder in an effort to curb cravings for carbs and sweets.
All three viewers tried pea protein and found that their cravings
were reduced and hey ate fewer calories.
Pea protein is full of fiber and
protein which balances blood sugar levels and helps you to feel full.
Karen cut out 660 calories by not
jumping into the ice cream carton. Michelle cut down 1,500 calories
by not craving muffins. Tanya ate 575 calories by not craving sugar.
Each scoop of pea protein powder has
about 65 calories. Dr. Oz said he likes to mix two tablespoons of pea
protein powder with one cup of fruit, fresh or frozen, one cup of
low-fat milk with a handful of ice cubes.
Karen asked why she gained weight when
she tried whey protein and yet lost weight when she tried the pea
protein. Dr. Oz explained that many people are allergic to whey and
when have whey protein it creates inflammation in the body and causes
the body to hold onto everything not allowing for weight loss.
Dr. Oz: Super Charge Memory
Nelson Dellis, two time USA Memory
Champion, joins Dr. Oz to share the tools that have helped him to
sharpen his mind. Three years ago, Mr. Dellis' grandmother passed
away from Alzheimer's disease. Since then, he has worked to
strengthen his memory with the result of winning the USA Memory
Championship two years in a row.
Before setting his mind to improving
his mind, he said his memory was terrible. In one short year, then,
Mr. Dellis was able to improve his mind to such a degree that he
became, and maintained, a national championship.
During the commercial break, Mr. Dellis
memorized the birth dates of the people in the first two rows of the
audience. That's ten dates connected to ten people. And he got all
the dates correct.
Mr. Dellis said he practices and
exercises his memory everyday and uses visualization to help him
remember anything and everything he needs to remember. One technique
is called the memory palace. Picture rooms in a house and create a
visual cue to what you need to remember.
The right foods can also support a
super memory. Mr. Dellis said he eats a variety of fruits and
vegetables in a rainbow of colors. His favorite memory food is goji
berries.
Goji berries are high in beta carotene,
which is also found in carrots, and they are higher in vitamin C than
oranges playing a role in fighting the aging of the brain. B vitamins
in goji berries also help to keep homocysteine levels down which
plays a role in brain health.
Dr. Oz says eat at least 5 tablespoons
of goji berries daily. Add goji berries to salads and yogurt or snack
on them straight from the bag. [I love goji berries on my oatmeal.]

Dr. Oz: Super Fast Solutions from
Super Moms
Dr. Oz talked to three super moms to
get their super time saving tips the help you be more efficient in
the kitchen.
Dr. Oz Super Fast Kitchen Tip for
Peeling Garlic
Save time in the kitchen with this
super fast solution for peeling garlic. Place the garlic clove in the
microwave for 20 seconds to make soften the peel and make it easier
to remove. [I'm anti-microwave and I don't own a microwave (and
haven't owned a microwave since 1992). I place the flat side of my
knife on the clove of garlic and smash it. This breaks the skin and
makes it easy to peel right off. No microwave required.]
Dr. Oz Super Fast Kitchen Tip for
Fresh Food
Cut off top of plastic bottle and use
it to close up plastic bags of food after opening. Place the bottle
top over top of the plastic bag and bring the top of the plastic bag
up through the top of the water bottle. Fold the plastic of the bag
over the bottle top and then screw on the cap of the bottle top to
seal the plastic bag and keep food fresh.
Dr. Oz Super Fast Tip for Removing
Band-Aids
Removing a band-aid can be more painful
the injury it covers. Use a hair dryer to warm up the band-aid, don't
get the area too hot or it may burn the area. The warmed band-aid can
be easily removed. The mom who shared this tip said her kids don't
scream and run away when it's time to remove a band-aid! [This is
brilliant! I'm going to try this the next time we need to remove a
band-aid.]
Dr. Oz: Bonus Tips
There were a series of bonus tips shown
just before or just after commercial breaks during this episode.
I've put them all together in this one section.
Dr. Oz Bonus tip: Supercharged Taste
Buds
The ability of the taste buds to taste
foods and drinks declines as we age but a decrease in the ability to
taste can be related to a zinc deficiency, says Dr. Oz. If you find
your buds aren't as friendly as they used to be, Dr. Oz says to take
30mg of zinc lozenges daily. Getting the right amount of zinc each
day can also play a role in fine tuning the sense of smell as well.
Dr. Oz Bonus Tip: Supercharged Heart
To support the functioning of the
heart, Dr. Oz recommended taking lycopene which he explained could
cut risks of heart disease and stroke as well as play a roll in
keeping arteries flexible to encourage blood flow.
Dr. Oz Bonus Tip: Supercharged
Hearing
Dr. Oz explained that magnesium
protects the little hairs in the ears which can encourage better
hearing. He recommended taking 400mg of magnesium daily to support
hearing.

Dr. Oz Bonus Tip: Supercharged
Joints
To support the joints, Dr. Oz
recommends eating apples which are high in quercetin. Quercetin
supports better joint movement and plays a role in healthy
inflammation levels in the body.
Dr. Oz Bonus Tip: Recharged Skin
To bring back bright and healthy
looking skin, Dr. Oz recommended a facial scrub from a mix of nutmeg
powder and honey.
Dr. Oz Bonus Tip: Supercharged Bones
Dr. Oz recommends eating broccoli to
supercharge the bones as it's a great source of easily absorbed
calcium that can help maintain bone density.
