Dr. Oz: How
To Get A Super Brain
Deepak Chopra is an
expert in mind-body medicine and he's behind new science that says
you can improve and rebuild your brain at any age to create a super
brain. How you think and what you eat can reshape and retrain your
mind and it only takes a few minutes every day.
Along with Harvard
Professor Rudolph Tanzi, Mr. Chopra has written a new book, Super
Brain, that explains how the mind-body connection is really
one super system. Mr. Chopra says that we can each actualize full
potential of our brain by making a conscience effort to build our
brain power.
Dr. Oz: Three
Brain Myths Holding Us Back
We tend to believe
the old stereotypes that our bodies fail us as we age and that is
especially true about the brain and the memory. What if we were
simply getting in our way by believing these stereotypes and living
up to them instead understanding how the brain works and working
daily to build our brain power.
Dr. Oz Brain
Myth #1: We lose brain cells daily and
can not replace them
False. While it's
true that we lose cells daily in the natural process of cell life
however we can create new brain cells and new neuron connections
within the brain at any age. Mr. Chopra presents in his new book the
idea that losing our memory with aging is simply a cause of not using
our brain to its full potential.
Dr. Oz Brain
Myth #2: Brain hard wiring cannot be
changed
False. Changing a
habit or instilling a new habit can rewire the brain. Wearing your
watch on the other arm or using your non-dominate hand to eat are
activities that can help rewire the brain at any age.
Dr. Oz Brain
Myth #3: Memory loss with age is
irreversible
False. By attaching
emotions to a memory we can build a stronger memory and can more
easily recall any and all memories and information.
To demonstrate, Dr.
Oz brought out two closets which represented the young brain and the
old brain. In the young brain closet, all the brightly colored shirts
were hung neatly on hangars. Each shirt held a memory that was
attached to an emotion such as a first kiss or a first dance. These
memories have strong emotional connections and will not be forgotten
or misplaced within the information clutter of the brain.
In the old brain
closet the mostly dark colored shirts were haphazardly tossed and
disorganized. Dr. Oz explained that as we age we simply view
information as being tossed in a closet yet when we need to bring up
that information again it's hard to find among all the mess. By
attaching a feeling to the information or event a stronger memory can
be created.
Dr. Oz: Super
Food For Super Brain
Dr. Oz Brain
Boosting Food #1: Wheat Germ
Wheat
germ can play an important role in reducing homocysteine levels.
Homocysteine is a naturally occurring amino acid that at high levels
can increase risks of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular
health concerns. Sprinkle a little wheat germ on cereal and yogurt
for a daily dose of cardiovascular support.
Dr. Oz Brain
Boosting Food #2: Black Currants
Black currants
support the brain by nourishing hypocanthus which records and
organizes our memories. Dried black currants taste like raisins and
can be used in cooking. Black currants are also available frozen and
in jams.
Dr. Oz Brain
Boosting Food #3: Acorn Squash
Acorn squash is
high in folic acid which increases transmission of information
through nerve cells enhancing brain function.
Dr. Oz Brain
Boosting Food #4: Gooseberry
Amalaki jam or
gooseberry is a natural detoxifier and purifier that supports
digestion as well as the memory. Mr. Chopra recommends eating 1-2
tablespoons daily or drink a shot of juice.
Dr. Oz Brain
Boosting Food #5: Sage
We use the term
“sage advice” to describe sound or wise advice. We call a person
a sage when they are wise. Sage directs oxygen to cerebral cortex to
support brain function and memory. Sprinkle the herb over soup or
take 30 drops of the extract in water daily.
Dr. Oz:
Deepak Chopra's Secret To A Young Brain
Deepak Chorpa's
secret to a maintaining a young brain is to meditate. Studies have
shown that people who meditate have a brain activity level closer to
someone who is 10-15 years younger.
Sit up straight and
close the eyes. Become aware of your breathing. Visualize the age you
want to be and picture that age as a thermostat that you can set at
will. Dr. Chopra calls this the biostat. Repeat the mantra: Every
day, in every way I'm increasing my physical and mental capacity. My
biostat age is [state the age you chose]. I look and feel a healthy
[say the age you chose].
Dr. Chopra says to
repeat this mediation process five times a day to keep the brain
young. What you think, you will become.

Dr. Oz: The
Best Advice Dr. Oz Ever Received
Dr. Gerald Lemole has been at the
forefront of cardiology and a holistic approach to health for the
past 30 years. Dr. Lemole was the youngest chief of cardiology in the
United States and performed the first heart transplant. Rolling Stone
magazine called him the Rock Doc back in the 1970's for his unusual
practice of playing rock music in the operating room to keep doctors
and nurses focused.
Dr. Lemole is also Dr. Oz's
father-in-law and has been inspiring Dr. Oz as a doctor, as a man, as
a husband, and as a father.
Much of what is discussed on The Dr. Oz
Show has been inspired by Dr. Lemole. In fact, the entire show was
inspired by Dr. Lemole. Dr. Lemole's wife would clip articles about
prevention nutrition and share them with her husband. He was amazed
to learn that seemingly little things like women taking folic acid
during pregnancy could improve the health of their babies. If that
information had been discovered and utilized years earlier, it could
have saved the lives of thousands of infants.
Dr. Lemole said his approach to these
new ideas was really a pragmatic outlook. If the risk was low and the
benefit was high he would try it out. He used to recommend a diet low
in fat and high in fruits and vegetables before it was the standard
which was a point of contention with his peers in the medical
community who had not yet embraced a healthy diet and healthy
lifestyle.
Dr. Lemole has been doling out advice
to the Oz family for years. Dr. Oz asked Dr. Lemole to share his
favorite advice on the show today.
Dr. Oz Best Advice #1: Colloidal
Silver
Colloidal silver has anti-bacterial,
anti-fungal, and anti-microbial properties. Dr. Lemole like to use
colloidal silver at the first sign of a sore throat.

Dr. Oz Best Advice #2: Probiotics
Dr. Lemole recommends using a probiotic
that provides 10-50 billion beneficial bacteria to help balance out
unhealthy bacteria. New studies are showing that probiotics can also
support weight loss. Dr. Lemole says taking something like a
probiotic daily is a way to build wellness tools into your lifestyle.
Dr. Oz Best Advice #3: On
Finding Balance
The key to being a family man and
having a career is balance, says Dr. Lemole. Four things keep him
grounded to his family and centered on his goals
- Love
- Feeling Useful - either through charities or work
- Expecting Something – having something to look forward to the next day, week, or year
- Gratitude - can't be happy without it
Dr. Oz Best Advice #4: On
Failure
As a cardiologist and a pioneer of
by-pass surgery, Dr. Lemole has experienced failure and that failure
can be as large as losing a patient. Dr. Oz asked, having lost
patients how do you get back up? Dr. Lemole said as a doctor he wants
to improve the science and without failure there is no progress.
Overcoming the failure and the situation allows for advancement so
that others can benefit.

Dr. Oz: Look Half Your Age
Bobbi
Brown, celebrity make-up artist and author of the new book Pretty
Powerful joins Dr. Oz to
share some of her best make-up tips to help you look half your age.
Dr. Oz: Look Half Your Age with an
Instant Eye Lift
To avoid looking tired and feeling
washed out, Ms. Brown says to add definition to the eye making the
eye appear bigger. Use a dark color eye liner, in black or brown, on
the top lid. Next, apply a dark mascara and before it dries hold up
the eyelashes for a wider eye look. It may be harder to apply liner
to the top lid and many women opt to only apply it on the bottom but
that makes the eye look tired. Take the time to learn how to apply
liner to the top lid for a fresh look.
Dr. Oz: Look Half Your Age with an
Eyebrow Lift
Create a natural eyebrow lift with eye
shadow applied with a brush to the eyebrow. Choose a shadow that
matches the hair color – except black, never use black says Ms.
Brown. Apply a small amount of shadow to the brow accentuating the
contour. For a wider, brighter look of the eye Ms. Brown said to add
a lighter colored eye shadow under the brow.
