Dr. Oz gave his audience a rather misleading Headline for his show today.

The 24 Hour Anti-Aging Plan is meant to convey what you start doing in one twenty-four hour period then becomes a daily routine. That’s a stretch…

Most people want Quick Fixes.

Most people want to do something once or twice and hope that’s it enough to fix their problem. That’s not usually going to be sufficient!

A healthy Lifestyle that lasts one’s entire lifetime is really the only way that you can guarantee that you are doing enough to live long and be well.

It’s a series of 24 hour periods that you use every hour of the day and night to enhance your health and well-being. It happens every day and every single night. It’s the quick fix that lasts until you take your last breath.

This is about so much more than a 24 hour period of time. Every second counts…

Every moment you get to make choices. Every thought and every action impacts your health. One thought that you harbor today may manifest in your body ten years from now. Imagine that! It all MATTERS.

Doctor Oz and his expert suggested that you start in the morning. Instead of refined sugar sweetened yogurt with fake fruit syrup or eggs with ketchup, you can eat real yogurt with organic fresh fruit and natural sweeteners like blue agave syrup or maple syrup. You can eat eggs with a hot sauce to replace your ketchup which often has added sugar in it, unless it’s organic ketchup with honey. You can find healthy food replacements online or at your local Whole Foods Markets.

Dr. Oz also recommended that you take supplemental chromium in addition to eating foods rich in this trace mineral. It helps to metabolize sugars and carbohydrates. We recommend ionic liquid chromium along with fresh organic tomato, broccoli, and other whole foods rich in this nutrient. Yes, blackberries, papaya, pineapple, and other whole organic fresh fruits help to protect your body from being ravaged by cancer out of control.

Dr. Oz did talk about Astragalus. It’s a traditional Chinese Herb. It’s not generally taken alone, but rather in a complete formula that is based upon how you present to your acupuncturist or specialist in TCM. There is a class of herbs that are described as ‘adaptogens’. These are special herbs, roots, barks, and other parts of a plant or natural material that supports the body’s ability to adapt to any stress which slows the aging process. Ginsengs are among the best known of adaptogenic herbs, but remember to take these in formulations, not separately! Please…we know more about this than the neophyte doctor.

It’s silly and rather ridiculous to cut down on refined sugar and stop aging. You MUST quit consuming ALL refined sugar and processed foods. Period.

You do need your rest at night and naps during the day to keep your brain chemistry balanced and your energy level steady as she goes. In addition to the elimination of nitrites and nitrates in foods, all processed meats or cured meats that contain synthetic compounds need to go away while you begin to replace all of these foods with whole foods and healthy beverages. A good vitamin/mineral supplement might be useful depending upon how well you eat…go ORGANIC!

Now, there’s more to anti-aging than this, but we’ll save it for another day and another dollar. If you implement some basics into your daily healthy Lifestyle, you will be making the most out of every twenty-four hours in a row…followed by another 24 hours in a row…and so on and so forth you go to a long Life filled with vim, vigor, and vitality.
