Miracles From Around The World: Coconut Oil
The smell of
coconut oil may conjure up memories of 70's and 80's “sun tan”
lotion but the healthy antioxidants in coconut oil have been
recommended to support healthy and glowing skin and supports a
healthy waist line. Cook with it or spread on butter like butter with
a nutty flavor. Coconut oil has the power to help people lose weight.
Dr. Oz How
Coconut Oil Burns Fat #1: Feel Full for Hours
Coconut oil can
help you feel fuller longer. Fats in general take longer to digest
and causes the stomach to send messages to the brain that you're full
and don't need any more calories. A recent study showed that people
who used coconut oil in their diet consume about 60 calories less per
day. Over a year, that can translate to six fewer pounds packed on.
Dr. Oz How
Coconut Oil Burns Fat #2: Fires Up Metabolism
Most fats in our
diet from sources like olive oil and butter and these fats can take a
long time to get the metabolism moving. When coconut oil is consumed,
the metabolism is immediately stimulated to burn calories in the
coconut oil and then to burn other calories consumed. In another
study, Dr. Oz explained that women who were given two tablespoons of
coconut oil daily revved up their metabolism and lost weight.

Dr. Oz How
Coconut Oil Burns Fat #3: Cooking with Coconut Oil
Fats from butter
turn into fat cells immediately but less than half of the calories
from coconut oil turn into fat and the rest of the calories are used
directly and immediately for energy.
Dr. Oz: What to
Remember About Coconut Oil
- Eat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil daily in place of other fats such as butter on toast or cooking with olive oil.
- Eat coconut oil in moderation, two tablespoons is great but 12 tablespoons is bad.
- Look for virgin coconut oil for the highest quality.
- Avoid partially hydrogenated oils that turn into trans fats in the body.
Eating two
tablespoons of coconut oil daily isn't going to make all that excess,
troublesome weight go away overnight however, explained Dr. Oz,
making these small shifts will support healthy and sustained weight
loss over time.
[If you're like me and can't stand the smell of cooking with coconut oil or the taste, there are supplements available:]
Dr. Oz:
Cooking With Coconut Oil
Pina LoGiudice,ND, Co-Medical Director
of Inner Source Health,
said that coconut oil has previously been demonized for its high
saturated fat content however studies are now showing that the fats
from coconut oil, including the saturated fat, are actually
beneficial.
Coconut oil has been shown to increase
the metabolism, it's great for the skin, and it's been shown to be
wonderful for heart health.
Dr. Oz: Coconut
Pancakes
Dr. LoGiudice shared that her daughter
loves pancakes and she loves to make them for her daughter using
healthy coconut oil. To whole wheat pancake mix, Dr. LoGiudice adds
flax seeds, herbs and spices, and coconut oil. The pancakes are also
topped with a little coconut oil before serving. Two pancakes have
only 100 calories and only 5g of fat.
Dr. Oz: Coconut Oil Popcorn
Melissa Clark, food writer for the New
York Times, said coconut oil is versatile because it's great for
high heat cooking and baking too. Coconut oil can be used in place of
butter to make a rich, flavorful, and sweet pie crust. Ms. Clark
likes to use coconut oil to make a healthy and low-calorie popcorn
snack.
Popcorn is filled with fiber and makes
for a great, filling snack and making it with coconut oil provides
only 64 calories and only 4g of fat.
In a big pot, place a thin layer of
popcorn kernels and coconut oil. Turn up the heat and shake the pot
while the kernels pop. When the popping stops the popcorn is done.
Pour the popcorn into a bowl and top with coconut oil, coconut
flakes, and cayenne. Popping popcorn in a pot allows for even and is
faster than an air popper.

Miracles From Around The World: Chia Seeds
A small seed (Cha-Cha-Chia!) can help
cut cravings for sugar and carbs. When placed in water, chia seeds
can absorb as much as nine times its size. Eating chia seeds, they
swell up in the stomach signaling that you're full and don't need
anything to to eat.
To test the power of the tiny chia
seed, Dr. Oz asked three women who have struggled with stress eating
and stress snacking to see if they can cut their cravings simply by
eating chia seeds.
The first woman said she was shocked
that she didn't reach for her daily chocolate after drinking chia
seeds in water. She found she wasn't even hungry for dinner after
feeling satiated all day.
Dr. Oz recommended taking two
tablespoons of chia seeds in water two hours after breakfast and
again two hours after lunch time to cut cravings and support a
healthy weight loss program.
When buying chia seeds, Dr. Oz said to
look for “raw” on the label. Chia seeds are widely available at
health food and grocery stores.

Miracles From Around The World to Conquer Sleep Problems
This next product has been around for
hundreds of years but it's only recently that it has come to light as
a super health food. Dr. Oz used to pick tart cherries on his
father's farm and eat them straight from the tree.
Tart cherry juice has naturally
occurring melatonin, just the right amount in fact that Dr. Oz says
it can be the key a healthy night's sleep.
Mike
Dow PSY.D., author of Diet
Rehab: 28 Days to Finally Stop Craving the Foods That Make You Fat
[and host of TLC's Freaky
Eaters], said people can replace
harmful sleep medications by swapping them for tart cherry juice.
In
addition to the natural melatonin, tart cherry contains healthy
carbohydrates which play a role in balanced serotonin levels also
contributing to a good night's rest.
Dr.
Dow explained that tart cherry juice is for people who find they wake
frequently during the night. In a study, Dr. Dow said people were
found to sleep as much as 39 minutes longer when the drank tart
cherry juice before bed.
Dr.
Oz: How To Take Tart Cherry Juice
Dr.
Dow said to look for Montmorency cherries on the label to be sure
you're getting the right type of cherry. There are four different
ways to ingest tart cherry juice, explained Dr. Dow, and a product
that is right for everyone.
Dr.
Oz: Tart Cherry Juice #1 – Straight Juice
Drink
eight ounces of straight tart cherry juice 90 minutes before bedtime.
The 90 minutes will allow the melatonin in the tart cherry juice to
process through the digestive tract and reach the brain.
Dr.
Oz: Tart Cherry Juice #2 – Concentrated Juice
Dr.
Dow explained that when using concentrated tart cherry juice to mix
one ounce of concentrate juice with seven ounces of water. One ounce
of concentrated tart cherry juice is equivalent to hundreds of fresh
tart cherries.
Dr.
Oz: Tart Cherry Juice #3 – Frozen Berries
Eating
two cups of frozen tart cherries 90 berries before bedtime will
provide the same amount of naturally occurring melatonin as tart
cherry juice and concentrate.
Dr.
Oz: Tart Cherry Juice #4 – Dried Berries
Eating
¼ cup of dried tart cherries not only provide naturally occurring
melatonin but also provide some fiber to support balanced blood sugar
levels and may also play a role in getting a good night's sleep.
One of Dr. Dow's patients shared that
tart cherry has helped her insomnia. She was prescribed
pharmaceuticals but didn't like how they made her feel. Dr. Dow
recommended tart cherry juice and she was surprised it was something
so simple and she gave it a try. She went from waking up to three
times a night to only waking once.
Dr. Dow said that tart cherry juice can
be used every day. Each eight ounce serving of tart cherry can
provide from 20 to 25g of sugar and from 80 to 120 calories. Swap out
a late night snack for a glass of tart cherry juice to not only
support better sleep but also support weight loss. Dr. Dow said that
tart cherry juice may also be linked to reducing risks of sleep
apnea.
An typical serving of tart cherries can
provide an average of 0.08mg of melatonin as compared to 1-9mg from
supplements.
Dr. Oz talked about the dangers of
melatonin on the 9/25/12 episode [click
here to read the post from the 9/25/12 show] where it was stated
that the recommended dose of melatonin is 1mg yet the average user of
melatonin uses as much as 9mg creating a sleep-fog and other memory
and concentration issues.
Tart cherry juice is a natural food
source of melatonin and therefore, explained Dr. Dow, the body can
use it more effectively. Dr. Oz said he likes his tart cherry juice
with a splash of vodka.

Dr. Oz Miracle Five-In-One Skin
Care Product
How much do you spend on facial skin
care products? Cleanser, serum, moisturizer, sun screen and on and
on...all these products can add up to a big bill at the check out
counter.
Marcia Kilgore, founder of Soap
& Glory and Bliss Spas,
said that BB Creams are really five products in one. BB stands for
beauty balm, it's not a brand but a product.
BB creams typically contain:
- Primer to brighten the skin;
- Foundation to even skin tone;
- Moisturizer for well, moisturizing;
- Sunblock to prevent damage to the skin from sun exposure;
- Anti-aging ingredients, typically a variety.
Different brands of BB cream can
provide slightly different benefits. Some products may contain
Vitamin A to support the regeneration of skin cells. Others may have
Vitamin C to brighten the skin tone.
Hyaluronic acid
can also be included to support the firming of the skin. Sun screen
is in most BB Creams because sun damage causes the greatest amount of
skin damage.
Ms. Kilgore explained that BB Creams
typically don't cost a lot of money and a great product can be found
at the lower end of the pricing spectrum. Different foundation colors
are available to match your skin tone.
Ms. Kilgore applied BB cream to two
women from the audience before the show. Edie, the first audience
test subject, doesn't use moisturizer [my skin is drying just hearing
that], she also doesn't use sunscreen or make-up. Her skin is very
red and she has areas of hyper-pigmentation with some acne and broken
capillaries. Red areas around the temples often show up on women
after they have children.
The before picture of Edie was indeed
red-faced. Ms. Kilgore applied a BB Cream on Edie and the result was
even skin tone that was, as Ms. Kilgore described, luminous. The BB
Cream also provided much needed moisture to Edie's dry skin.
Christy, the second fan test, had very
red cheeks in the before picture. She also has the lovely reddening
at the temples after having children and her skin was very dry. After
applying the BB Cream, Christy said her skin immediately felt
moisturized and soothed. She would often feel burning on the red
areas of her skin.
Dr. Oz: The Greatest Miracle of
All
Dr. Oz shared that he was present for
the birth of each of his four children and said each experience was
the biggest miracle and the biggest joy of his life. For the first
time ever, Dr. Oz assists in the birth of a baby. This was the first
baby for the couple, Stacey and Lance, and both were feeling nervous
and fearful of the unknown. Cameras were there when the mom-to-be
pushed out her miracle baby boy.
The proud parents brought their new
baby boy onto the stage and shared his name, Christian. Stacey said
it was surreal to have The Dr. Oz Show at the birth. As the first
baby born on The Dr. Oz Show, Dr. Oz have Christian a little onesie
that said “I was born on The Dr. Oz Show!”
