It’s becoming obvious to doctors that food plays a more significant role i healthcare than they ever imagined… Even Dr. Lisa carefully got on board this train!
Dr. Oz introduced rice bran oil to replace other oils today. He also dispelled a few food myths, the best of which was about caloric intake.
While Dr. Oz was lost in the 1980’s with bee pollen, yeast, and nettle tea, he finally mentioned sea vegetables, purslane, jicama, the ugli citrus fruit, and black garlic. He has a long way to go, but he’s on the right track.
He did a segment on pasta and condiments. A smaller portion of pasta the amount of which fits in the circle of your hand when you join the first finger with the tip of the thumb was a useful visual model of portion control. He really needs mario Batali to explain about the amount of gravy and condiment to blend with a pasta dish. The way you use aged cheeses and vegetables can add to the health of the pasta dish. Salads, greens, and side dishes round out the healthy meal. Too many people eat only a bowl of pasta…
Food is at the heart of a healthy Lifestyle when it’s Whole Foods. The doctors are finally getting the picture!
