Turkey Bacon vs. Real Bacon

Both bacons have the same amount of calories and sometimes even the same amount of fats. Turkey bacon has more sodium, therfore the real bacon is a better choice.

You should always keep in mind if your daily sodium intake is very low, you can still eat the turkey bacon, especially if the brand you buy has less fats than the regular bacon.

Turkey Bacon Nutritional Value:

Total fat is 23g per serving, which is 35% of the recommended daily value.

How to measure your waist?

Measuring your waist is the first step to get your ideal waist size. By the way, the ideal waist size for women is 32 inch and 35 for men.

First of all take a deep breath and suck your stomach in, then measure your waist size at the belly button. According to Dr. Oz you would measure your waist size that way, but there are other people who have different opinions. However, the rule that 32 inch is the perfect waist size applies to that way of waist size measurement. You can’t suck in your omentum, so this method should be working just fine. (The omentum is the place where you store all your fats)

Sidenote: If you own the book YOU: On a diet, you’ll find the information about waist measurement on page 11.

Dr. Oz on foods that affect your mood

Foods can have effects on our mood. Every food has a chemical effect in our body.

A piece of cake or donuts can make you feel sad, depressed. First you will experience an energy boost and possibly a better mood, but afterwards when your blood levels go down, you will also have a “low” mood, feeling tired and fatigued.

Foods that can improve your mood are:

Nuts, 1 banana per day, fish and other foods that contain a lot of Omega 3. You should consider taking Omega 3 supplements, e.g. fish oil supplements.

According to Dr. Oz, Omega 3 can also help you to reduce stress. Fatty fishs and Walnuts contain a lot of Omega 3 vitamins. Fatty fish might not sound “healthy”, but sardine and mackerel are a really great source of omega-3 fatty acids!!

A lack of Vitamin D can also have effects on your mood.

Dr. Oz Show: September 14th

Finally.

On September 14, 2009 we will be able to see Dr. Oz on Tv again. He will be back, discussing popular health topics, answering questions of people from all over the world and bringing attention to health issues that we deserve more attention. An author of more than 400 publications surely has a lot to talk about.

If you want to see the Dr. Oz Show you should mark that day in your calender. It can be seen on Fox. You can still request free tickets:

212-664-3056 select Option 4 between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM Eastern, Monday through Friday.

I surely won’t miss the Dr. Oz Show and will keep you updated.

Contact Dr. Oz

If you would like to contact Dr. Oz, you can do so via Twitter, Myspace and Facebook.

He is regularly answering questions, but you have to keep in mind that he’s a busy man, so there is a very low chance that someone will respond to you. Most likely someone of his PR team will contact you if you should ever receive an answer via Mail.

Dr. Oz is just like Oprah an active user on Twitter and you can find out what he’s currently up to there.

From time to time he is answering health questions via YouTube. If you have a question that might be a common one, one that is really popular, then he might be able to answer it. Of course Dr. Oz is also answering not so common questions, but I suppose it would make sense to answer common questions first, simply because he can help more people that way.

I believe that Dr. Oz really loves the possibility to help so many people out there and he’s doing a really great job. Let’s hope he will stay with us for a while. His Show: The Dr. Oz Show will premiere on September 15th and will probably be a huge success. I am looking forward to it! We all are!

Dr. Roizen Quote:

The solution to cure depression might not be in a bottle.

Eating a banana every day and listening to music can help you to improve your mood if you are in a bad mood right now.

Aside from that here is another tip:

Omega 3 and Vitamin B are essential for emotional health. Taking a Omega 3 supplement or eating nuts and fish can help you to treat depression.

The Real Age Test of Dr. Oz

Many people have health issues nowadays. If you can add more fiber to your diet to keep your blood sugar levels balanced it can significantly help you to stay healthy and lower your real age.

Smoothies can be a great addition to any diet to get your daily intake of vitamins and fiber.

On the site www.realage.com Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen put together a site with a lot more diet tips and the real age test.

There is no so called secret to weight loss, it’s actually quite simple if you eat the right things.

Stress can also be a major factor, both for aging and weight gain. If you can avoid stress that’s a big plus and will help you to stay young.
