Drs Oz & Roizen On Oprah With The Ultimate Anti-Aging Checklist

Drs Oz and Roizen were on the Oprah show today discussing their anti-aging checklist. Their list included a good night's sleep, healthy food with lots of antioxidants and fiber, exercise(strength training, aerobics & stretching), meditation, following your passion, sex and vitaimins including one or two baby aspirin daily.(studies mixed for women)

It's always important to try something and see how 'your' body reacts. Just because an expert says it's good, it doesn't mean that it will work for your body.

So you can take the information today and try one or two things at a time.  For my body, the relevant points on the list are sleeping well, exercising daily(I do Qi Gong/Yoga and build muscles that way), eating organic veggies, salads, drinking green tea with juiced ginger, laughing a lot and living my passions.

I don't agree with the grain part of his food suggestions.  I gain weight when my diet consists of more than a few bites of grains a day. 

Dr Oz said that your waist size is more important than your weight but the reason he gave was you'll look better..huh?  I've been writing about belly fat and how it is associated with heart disease and other health problems.  Today he didn't mention it, although he has on other shows.  He once brought an actual piece of fat which he called omentum and said how dangerous it is to our health.

I laughed when the audience started counting as Dr Oz did some strength exercises pulling his whole body up to the bar.  He also did a few yoga poses and Oprah asked him if his heels were supposed to be toucing the ground in 'Downard Facing Dog',   He said yes and below is a video with downward facing dog so you can try it at home.  There's a real dog in the video….
