Dr. Oz and the Preventative Power Pack: The Hour of Empowerment for Healthy Lifestyle Changes
This episode on Dr. Oz today was one hour that you cannot afford to miss. Dr. Oz invited experts in Preventative Medicine to speak about the value of making healthy Lifestyle changes which can prevent disease and degeneration in the human body.
It was pointed out that drugs cannot do what healthy choices can do when it comes to the percentages of reducing the incidence or risk for a degenerative disease like Heart Disease, Diabetes, or cancer. No…this raises the odds of living longer with a greater Quality of Life by as much as 50% to 80% in their estimates. I would go all the way up to 100%.
During the hour the experts talked about the key Lifestyle choices that really make a difference in your health. Diet, Sleep, Exercise, Smoking, and other factors enter into the picture.

First, the five colors of your fruits and vegetables do matter. Red, purple, yellow, orange, green, and white (which the experts forgot to mention) are all much more important than the brown of burgers, hamburger patties, and fries.
When you eat sweet potatoes, you can apparently reduce your incidence of cancer. When you drink ‘brain cubes’ which are frozen smoothies made from blueberries, bananas, apples, flaxseed oil, and hemp nuts and allowed to melt into liquid form while you are on your way to work. It’s much better to take two minutes to take fresh fruit and use that blender on your kitchen counter top to make your fresh Brain Smoothie. We recommend that you get the Versativa Hemp product to eat and nibble upon which is going to give you far more nutrition than hemp nuts alone.
The best flaxseed oil is Barleans and the best flaxseed meal is from ANA. You cannot just throw some raw flaxseed into the blender for a minute in ‘mix’ and expect the seed to be masticated sufficiently. You can make salad dressings with flaxseed oil. While these ‘brain cubes’ are a cute idea for saving you some time in the morning, the Brain Toniq ‘Think Drink’ will keep your brain functioning at its peak and it only takes ten seconds to open a can of BT!
Now…the good doctor told his audience to drink coffee without cream or sugar and to get up to 4 ounces of vinegar in their daily diet to prevent Diabetes. The quality of the coffee is relevant in this equation. Free Trade Organic Coffee is much better than ground beans that have been sitting on the grocery store shelf for a year and in a warehouse for who knows how long before that… Balsamic vinegar, rice wine vinegar, red wine vinegar, white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, malt vinegar…the list goes on and on. We prefer Balsamic and apple cider vinegar to the others. A salad dressing with balsamic, olive oil, mustard, sea salt, oregano, cilantro, freshly-ground black pepper, and garlic is our favorite way to dress a salad of fresh organic greens.
Next the herb grinder was shown as a tool, but what a huge waste of time and herbs that thingy is… You waste too much in that contraption and the herbs will oxidize more rapidly than when you take a nice sharp knife to chop your herbs. You can also tear the leaves of basil and other leafy greens to prevent bruising them. Doctors are not experts in the kitchen! It shows in this segment.
I did like the cleaning putty for computers, cell phones, doorknobs, and other surfaces. I hadn’t seen that before. And when Dr. Oz tells you that it’s OK to use dried herbs to replace fresh herbs, he is yet again mistaken. There are very few dried herbs that provide as much nutrient value and Life Force when compared to their fresh counterparts. I am telling you to go with fresh herbs and spices with few exceptions.
There are hundreds of other healthy Lifestyle changes and choices that you can avail yourself of to prevent disease and extend your Life, but we will take on these topics one by one as they are raised by physicians who are just entering the field of Longevity and Wellness. Live and learn…
