Dr. Oz:
Turbocharge Your Metabolism For Your Body Type
Do you carry our
weight in your belly? Bottom heavy? Fat all over? Knowing your body
type allows you to turbocharge your metabolism to support weight
loss.
Jeffrey Morrison,
MD physician and nutrition specialist. No new news here, your
metabolism slows as a result of aging and hormones. Dr. Morrison
explained that fat will accumulate in the body dependent upon where
hormones are out of balance. Where you store fat also provides
insights into what diseases you may be predisposed to.
Dr. Oz wants to
fire you up! Your metabolism, that is. It's doable, he said, if you
know your body type and work with your body shape to fuel your
metabolism.
Dr. Oz: The
Apple Body Shape
50% of women hold
fat in the belly. Estrogen increases with aging and the stress
hormone cortisol contribute to packing pounds in the mid-section.
Apple shape people
have round faces, fat accumulated in the back, and small leg and this
shape is primarily influenced by cortisol. This fat also surrounds
our organs causing concern for the organs ability to have a steady
supply of oxygen. Fat around the belly leads to fat around the liver
and also reduces the amount of oxygen that can get to all the organs.
Daryle, from the audience, said it's
hard to burn fat from the belly even when doing exercises that target
the mid-section.
Dr. Morrison said
that apple shapes should not go on a low-calorie diet and should not
over-do exercise because both situations are stressful to the body
causing the body to release more cortisol sending messages to the
body to store even more fat in the mid-section instead of releasing.
Diseases specific
to the apple shape are heart disease, diabetes, and breast cancer.
Each of these disease are all related to high levels of stress and
linked to people who have greater fat around their mid-section.
Dr. Oz: The Pear
Body Shape
Dr. Oz says the pear body type is
plagued with cellulite. Does everything you eat get stored in your
butt and thighs? 2/3 of all women hold their weight in this pear
shape and know that this area is the first to gain and last to lose.
Dr. Morrison said
the pear shape is related to low levels of estrogen. When their body
sees a spike in estrogen level, during menstruation and pregnancy,
the body stores fat in this area. It's a genetic predisposition to
preparing for pregnancy, a bit of an out-dated effect but it's still
there.
Holding more weight
in the between the hips and the knees puts more pressure on the skin
and collagen structure of the skin increasing the appearance of that
darn cottage-cheese-looking cellulite.
Osteoporosis,
cellulite, varicose veins, and joint problems are all related to
people with an apple shape.
You can change your
body type over time with changes in diet that lead you back to a
natural body weight and reducing health risks associated with each
body type.
Dr. Oz: Fat All
Over Body Shape
If you're body
looks like a mix between the apple and pear, gaining fat all over.
It's called the box body shape and is linked with an under active
thyroid gland.
The box body type has the greatest
health risks such as, depression, memory loss, and high cholesterol.
Dr. Morrison said
the thyroid gland is responsible for metabolism throughout the body.
When the thyroid gland is sluggish it results in problems throughout
the body body including memory troubles, depression, and dry skin
too.
People need to be aware that mood and
depression can have strong links to the functioning, or lack of
functioning, of the thyroid gland. More and more people are finding
the thyroid gland is the key to their health troubles. Having the
thyroid tested can provide a clue into it's role in mood issues and
stubborn weight.
Dr. Oz: Solutions for Problem
Areas
No matter what your body is, the right
foods are the key to rev up your metabolism along with exercise and
proper sleep. Knowing which foods will provide the most help for the
metabolism will allow the body to target those problem areas.
Dr. Oz Solutions for Apple Shape
Cortisol levels are to blame for the
apple shape so reach for low-gylcemic foods. These foods will not
create big blood sugar spikes up and down that cause stress in the
body and lead to accumulating fat in the body. There are many
external stress but there are also internal stressor and carbs are
the biggest stress food for apple shape.
Lentils are a high protein carb that
can rev up the metabolism of the apple body shape. Hummus and
eggplant are also key foods for the apple shape. Eating these types
of food will help you to counter act the impact of external stessors.
Dr. Oz Solutions for Pear Shape
Pear shape body types are connected to
estrogen levels. Pear shapes need high fiber foods to collect all
that excess estrogen from around the body and release it.
Edamame is a key food for pear shapes.
These beans contain a natural plant-based estrogen which can help to
balance your own natural levels of estrogen. Swap out white pasta
with whole grain pastas to reduce the sugar ups and downs that come
with processed flours. Figs are a key fruit for the pear body shape.
[Figs support alkalizing of the body and provides a steady source of
energy.]
Dr. Oz Solutions for Box Shape
The box shape is regulated by the
thyroid gland. Turbocharge the metabolism for the box shape by
focusing on foods that are high in iodine and selenium.
Foods from the ocean are a great source
of iodine. Seaweed has gone beyond sushi and is becoming the new hot
snack food. Shrimp is a great source of muscle building protein for
the box body shape. Sunflower seeds will provide steady energy all
day helping the box shape to snack smart and burn that fat.
Dr. Oz: Foods To Turbocharge All
Body Types
Ashley Koff, Registered Dietitian, has
brought together the best nutrients to the support the metabolism, to
stimulate digestion, and to increase elimination to keep those
calories from being stored.
Dr. Oz Turbocharge Your Metabolism
Foods: Harrisa
Harissa is a spice blend high in
antioxidants to support the digestive system. Harrisa is a Moroccan
spice flavor blend that is easier to use than having to gather a
number of different spices. Harrisa features hot chilies, garlic,
cumin, and coriander.
Cumin supports production of pancreatic
enzymes that supports digestion. Coriander supports bile production
also playing a role in digestion. Mix the spice blend with olive oil
which brings out the flavors of the spices. Us about a ¼ teaspoon
for one serving size in a dish, or start off even lower if it's too
strong.
Dr. Oz Turbocharge Your Metabolism
Foods: Grapefruit
It's the quintessential diet food but
grapefruit is also very supportive of breaking down and digesting
protein and it can also burn fat. The white pulp of fresh grapefruit
contains fiber so it's important to eat a fresh whole grapefruit.
Skip the grapefruit juice which is simply liquid calories high in
sugar without all the important nutrients that will speed up the
metabolism.
Dr. Oz Turbocharge Your Metabolism
Foods: Jalapenos
Jalapeno peppers are a hot food that
stokes the fire of the metabolism. Remove the inner seeds to reduce
the heat of the pepper or cook with a small portion to bring down the
heat while retaining the nutrients. Pair hot spices with dairy
products to balance out the flavors.
Dr. Oz Turbocharge Your Metabolism
Foods: Sardines
Sardines may not be your favorite food
but they are a powerhouse of nutrients. Sardines are high in protein,
Vitamin B12 as well as CoQ10. CoQ10 supports oxygenation of the cells
to fuel the muscles. Sardines are also a carb-free food, not that
people should necessarily reduce their carbs, but this can help to
balance out food choices for the day.
Dr. Oz: 5-Minute Workout to Fuel
the Metabolism
Research shows that a quick targeted
workout can indeed rev up the metabolism. Geralyn Coopersmith,
personal trainer, says these bursts of movement that leave you a
little breathless will get the metabolism fired up. Combining the
movement with two pound weights supports the building of muscle which
will fuel the metabolism for a greater period of time – more
muscles means a higher metabolism.
This 5-minute programs alternates
between 30 seconds of all out cardio exercises then to 15 seconds of
moderate exercise and back to the 30 seconds of cardio.
Geralyn Coopersmith joins Dr. Oz to
share a five-minute workout that boosts the metabolisms for each and
every body type.
