Dr. Mehmet Oz, famous television host of the Dr. Oz show and heart surgeon, encouraged the 10,000 USANA Associates at their International Convention in August, to bring joy to people's lives in different ways.
His television show is aired in 118 countries, bringing light to lives around the world as he encourages the viewers to take care of their health and to pass on "Healthiness".
He shows people what an unhealthy lung looks like...bad bones...atherosclerosis...kidney disease...inflammation in the vessels....all to help them wake up to their responsibility to take control of their own health.
He went through the five life adjustments:
"You control 70 percent of how well you live and for how long," he cautioned. "I care about you. A healthy diet is easy to love. Stress control is so easy to do."
No cigarettes or toxins in the body or the home. Exercise 30 minutes a day.
"The battle is in our homes," Dr. Oz declared. "Obesity takes up 24 percent of the health budget. This is not a government issue. Biology always trumps over willpower. You are in charge of your diet. 100 extra calories a day leads to obesity."
He showed how cholesterol is because of belly fat pressure on the kidneys, which raises blood pressure.
He said so much more in his most dynamic talk. I'll cover that in the next post. Meanwhile, say no to junk food and yes to Dr. Oz' suggestion to always have nuts on hand for when you feel hungry.
