Dr. Oz and Cranky People: The Remaining Three Reasons for Crankiness and Healthy Solutions
Dr. Oz gave six reasons in total about his idea about why people are cranky and moody. We talked about the first three yesterday and today we’ll go over the remaining three reasons and how to resolve one’s moodiness through healthy living and nutritional support.
Fourth…Dr. Oz suggested that The Bedroom was the culprit for lacking enough restful sleep and distractions that make you wake up cranky the next morning. He told his audience that he threw out his digital alarm clock and suggested that you face yours away from your visual field to prevent any light from affecting your pineal gland while you sleep. The pineal releases melatonin which takes you into the deeper states of sleep, including REM where you dream and where your body replenishes neurotransmitters. If you miss this crucial stage of sleep, you will be moody and most likely in a BAD mood at that…
You should make sure that all light is off in your bedroom and that there are no noises like the TV or music to distract you unless you are listening to subliminal audio tapes to reprogram your Subconscious Mind. That is the only exception. Although, many new parents should keep a monitor open for their infants in another room. They will hear them crying when they wake up in the middle of the night. It’s a good idea to take turns getting up with newborns, so both parents get sufficient sleep at least three or four nights each week along with cat naps during the day.

The fifth reason is Diet. That is somewhat different from not eating enough food and having hypoglycemia in reason number three. A diet that has soda pop, processed foods, too much salt, too many fats, too many stimulating ingredients, and too many unhealthy affects on your body can keep you very cranky. Your brain’s biochemistry is altered, your endocrine system is out of whack, and your body is in a state of rebellion from horrible food and beverage choices. Dr. Oz showed a table of burgers, fries, donuts, and other processed foods as examples of what NOT to eat.
Dr. Oz also told one of his audience members to drink more Green Tea to cut down on caffeine from too much coffee and to help her avoid soda pop and sugar-laden fruit juices. Not all Green Teas are created equal, so when you go for the Green; buy the best Green Tea in the world.

Later in the episode, he shared five exotic fruit which you can eat to embellish your health.

When you eat a whole foods plant-based diet, your mood will improve and you will be more of a happy camper. His expert shared her best suggestions with popped amaranth, cous cous and mushrooms, salmon with hemp seeds, tart cherries, and her favorite chocolate sweet treat.

The only serious flaw in that advice was about the popped amaranth. Most people don’t like plain rice krispies or popcorn, so take my hint to jazz up your popped amaranth to entice your taste buds to crave this healthy option.
You can find your amaranth and your other whole foods, spices, teas, bulk foods, herbal teas, essential oils, organic foods, and other healthy items from Frontier:

You can pop the amaranth in the skillet and immediately after a few teaspoons have popped, take them into a pan filled with cinnamon sugar or orange sugar. You can vary the way you flavor the organic cane sugar or organic powdered sugar with citrus zest, the Essential Oils of Lemon, Orange, Tangerine, Lime, and even Bergamot. You can also use clove, ginger, nutmeg, and other spices to perk up the puffed amaranth. You can also make clusters when you add fresh organic juices to the powdered sugar mixture and form a cluster with a spoon or your hands or shape it like the traditional rice krispie square. The kids will beg you to make this as will the older members of your family!
