Dr. Oz and DNA Diets: Eat a Salad, Eat a Legume, Eat a Bean, and Eat for Your Ethnicity
Dr. Oz shared his stage with some folks who discussed the dietary needs of different ethnic DNA profiles and gave examples of foods that will help you in your quest to become healthy by changing to a DNA Diet that is appropriate for your genetics and ethnic heritage.
Although some experts don’t know the difference between legumes and beans, we do encourage people to eat lentils and black beans, quinoa, and burgers made from whole grains, vegetables, nuts, and seeds…right along with those who do better with their slabs of beef, their filet of salmon, their root vegetables, or their salads and side dishes that derive from a variety of ethnic cuisines and cultures. It’s a good beginning to look at cultures and calories when making a determination about which DNA Diet might be best for your body.
It’s was oversimplified, but the DNA Diet ideas are useful for helping people sort out why they can have such a hard time finding success with certain types of diets. The three diets given for three DNA types was limited in my opinion and didn’t account for all ethnic groups. Yet the three choices presented are better than the usual diet diatribes that you get from dieticians or doctors in the traditional fare that they dish out daily in their offices. Look…until you embrace a genuine Lifestyle that gets you into the garden and the kitchen and the mind; you won’t get a complete picture of health and Wellness. Still…we’ll begin with what you’ve seen on Dr. Oz today.
The Balanced Diet deserves much more discussion than it got during this short segment. There are more risk factors than diabetes and high blood pressure for those who ‘fit’ into this category. In fact, the other two categories didn’t really get enough face time either. The low carb and low fat Diets deserve more details than they were given. People are more than a mere three DNA Diet categories and three ethnic types. Much….much…much more!
I would only like to say that if it gives you some direction, then this DNA Diet information will serve to orient you in a better direction than not having this input. However, we’re not done yet. It will wait for another day and additional discussion. This is what remains to be said about the advice you were given today:
A black bean is NOT a legume. A black bean is a bean.
Lentils are one example of a legume.
Oh, it seems that I am paying too much attention to the details… So enough of that for now! What’s important is what is missing from the DNA Diet visuals of foods that fit the three categories. Where were the sea vegetables? Where were the fruits, nuts, and seeds? Where were the condiments, spices, and herbs? Where were so many other types of foods like fermented foods? They all contain protein, carbohydrates, and lipids in different quantities! You need to integrate so much of what I have told you over the years.
One last BIG statement about DNA Diets: Your Body, Mind, Spirit Connection will teach you how to alter your DNA to conform to Thought and that is your ultimate KEY to optimal health and Well-Being. You are a Quantum Master of your own DNA by what you think, feel, believe, and do. Your mastery at this level is far greater and more powerful than any calorie, any genetic inheritance, and any food choice based upon a small research project and the crunching of a few numbers with some generalized conclusions.
Be WELL…
