Lets Make
for THE
Getting what you really want from life isnt about having
making the most of what youve got. Heres
O
ne of the great balancing
acts in life is getting it all
donefulfilling our tasks
and obligationsand still
feeling like were living the
good life. And thats why
my goal for this magazine is
to continually offer you
inspiration to pursue a life that gives you what
you really want. That means seeing the people
you love (including yourself) thrive, feeling
invigorated by your challenges, and being
energized by what you eat. Basically, the good life
means youre hearing your own voice as you
make your life sing. But the world is full of
distractions that can take you off your purpose.
Maybe because Im growing more aware of the
speed at which life travels (having celebrated a
major life moment with the birth of my first
grandchild, Philomena), I find myself glancing at
one thing over and overmy watch. My time is
precious, just like yours, and for me fitting
everything inand keeping my focus on what
really matters mostcomes down to three keys.
MASTERING THE MORNING If I start the
morning strong and tackle my toughest tasks early,
I have the zip to handle just about anything else
that happens. Automating simple decisions, like
what to wear or eat for breakfast, saves my energy
and focus for more important ones. Its not just
about prioritizing. You can get a jump on the day
by feeding your body slow drips of oomph in the
form of food (find great recipes starting on page 97)
and exercise (page 141). Anything that helps you
manage energy will also help you manage time.
CREATING MOMENTS We can always do
more: more work more chores more, more,
more. But sometimes you need to take a break
from responding to those demands and create
moments instead. My family adventures
whether they come in the form of weeknight
dinners or quiet mornings fishing with my son,
Oliverare the most precious moments for me.
Regardless of what obligations arise, those are the
times we have to protect, because thats when the
watch stops. This isnt about heaping more
responsibilities on yourself; its about setting time
aside to remember whats really important. And I
can guarantee you that whatever it is, its not item
number 37 on your to-do list. When my children
were younger, it didnt matter how
much work or stress I had. We
spent time every night playing
together in our basement.
Dr. Oz From the Heart
When I go
fishing with my
son, Oliver, time
stops for us.

Time
GOOD LIFE
more timeor more of anything. Its about loving and
what Ive learned about doing less to get more.
I wouldnt trade one minute of those games. Now,
as they get older, were doing other things
attending sporting events, babysitting, cooking
meals togetherthat slow everything down.
TRUSTING THE TRIBE One of the ways I can steal
some time back is by surrounding myself with
people I trust. Dont underestimate the power of
others to help you. When you delegate some
control (and stop worrying about what you cant
control), you increase your own joy as well as
your ability to pass along joy to others, creating a
cycle that helps you live the good life.
Every once in a while, Ill glance outside my
office window. From there I can see two kinds of
roadsfast highways and gridlocked city streets.
It strikes me that we can learn from both of those.
Nobody wants to feel stuck, trapped by blocks of
immovable tractor trailers of responsibilities. But
when we get too busy trying to zip from point A
to point B as fast as we can, we sometimes forget
to take a look at the scenery along the way.
I suspect wed all feel better trying to live the
good life on those medium-speed roads where
youre always moving forward at a pace that feels
right. Sometimes youll need to pump the brakes,
and sometimes youll need to step on the gas. The
trick is remembering that no matter what, you
have license to choose any road you want.
After a morning
stretch, Im ready
to take charge
of the day.
My wife,
Lisa, helps
me focus on
one thing
at a time.
I made up ball
tag, a simple
game we could
play anywhere,
to bring the
family together
in the evenings.
Mehmet Oz, M.D.
My new
crushand
grandchild
Philomena keeps
me in touch with
whats really
important.

My typical workday

YOUR LETTERS
The couple that
reads together
I showed the Welcome to
The Good Life story to my
husband to introduce him
to you and your magazine.
We had planned to just
skim through the contents
that night, but we were
both so captivated that
before we knew it almost
45 minutes had gone by.
I know that every issue is
going to help improve our
lives and relationships.
Stacey Wickersham,
Fayetteville, NC
What the good life
really means
Im married to my
best friend and have
beautiful, healthy
childrento me,
this is the good life.
Its about being
content with what
you have. I may
not be rich with
money, but I am
rich in family,
friends, and love.
Tammy Glidden, Bristol, NH
DR. OZ RESPONDS: Great idea, Paulineactually, two great ideas! From now on,
well print reader tips here each issue. Please send them to meand share your
thoughts on the magazine, too. Write me at DrOz@DoctorOzMag.com.
Setting kids on a
healthy path
Dr. Oz, Im a coordinator for
your health education
programHealthCorps.org.
The high school students I
work with started a school
garden and learned valuable
cooking skills. And now
with your magazine, they
can read about other ways
to build healthy bodies,
minds,and futures. I cant
wait to share the next issue
with them.
Precious Fortes,
Stockton, CA
I can think of only one thing to add to your new magazine:
a place for ideas from readers. Everyone has a helpful tip or two.
My advice is to keep a bag of spinach in the freezer. It lasts
a long time, and the frozen leaves are easy to break into
small pieces to add to soups, salads, eggs, pizzas whatever.
Pauline Eikel, Las Vegas
You spoke, I listened. And I loved your reactions
to our launch issue of Dr. Oz The Good Life.

Meet Madison!
The power of positivity
I loved your Rx for Optimism. My strategy is
to take the focus off myself. I visit patients and

attitude! Im always amazed at how helping others
helps me, too. Jackie Purcell, Stamford, CT
Spread the love
I really liked what
you had to say on

about
putting I love you
to Lisa in the sub-

Life is all about balance, nding joy in even the most challenging times. And thats exactly what
a friend of mine did. Diagnosed with lymphoma, he was given six months to live and decided to
spend that time surng. Six months turned into seven years, and I really believe it was because
he was doing what he loved. City of Hope understands this. They dont just develop treatments
for cancer; they treat the whole person and give them a chance to live longer, fuller lives so they
can enjoy every day.

The scoop on news and trends that matter to you
BE WELL
INFORMED
Sales of these battery-
powered devices (flled
with liquid nicotine) were
about $1.5 billion last
year, and their use is
growing fast among teens.
The FDA is expected to
establish rules on e-cigs
soon. Until then, heres
what you need to know.
THEY LURE IN NON-
SMOKERS. Their safety
may tempt ex-smokers.
There are no age restric-
tions on e-cigs, and a new
study shows that middle
and high school students
who use them are more
likely to smoke tobacco.
THEY MAY NOT HELP
SMOKERS QUIT.
E-cigs arent proven or
FDA-approved to help you
kick a tobacco habit, and
their long-term health
efects are unknown. Still,
some quitters have been
helped by e-cigarettes,
says Dr. Oz. Anything is
better than smoking, so
if they can help you quit,
theyre worth a try.

McDonalds For a lighter and
thriftier Big Mac, order a double

ROBIN ROBERTS, FROM HER NEW MEMOIR, EVERYBODY S GOT SOMETHING
Many U.S. Olympians brought home more than medals from
Russia last winterathletes also rescued some of Sochis thousands of
homeless street dogs, pets who were abandoned by their owners after
their homes were destroyed to make room for Olympic venues. When
the news spread that the animals were being rounded up and killed,
the outrage spread too. Compassionate athletes, like the U.S. soldiers in
Iraq and Afghanistan who have adopted war-zone animals, stepped up.
Skier and silver medalist Gus Kenworthy saved four pups and their
mother. Snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis rescued a mutt. The captain
of the National Hockey Leagues St. Louis Blues, David Backes (above),
helped save two. When wed give these stray dogs a little attention,
they would follow us, says Backes, the founder of Athletes for
Animals. It made us want to help as many of them as we could.

Watch Out for Summers Itchers
POISON SUMAC loves the
water and is usually found
in peat bogs and swamps as
a small tree or tall shrub. The
leaves may have splotches
that look like black paint.
POISON IVY
has solid green,
pointed leaves that
hang from the stem
in groups of three.
In the spring, the
plant produces
yellow-green flowers.
Youll see it in
woods throughout
the country.
POISON OAK
leaves also cluster in
groups of three and
resemble oak leaves
hence, the name.
It grows as vines or
shrubs and is more
common in the West.

Since 2007, Greek yogurt has gone
from about 1% of the market to nearly
half of all yogurt we eata good thing,
given that it can have twice as much protein
per serving as regular yogurt and offers rich
probiotic benefits. Now its busting out of the
yogurt aisle and into other products. Theres
Greek yogurt butter, cream cheese, hummus,
baby food, protein bars, even a bodywash. But
unless you see contains live active cultures
on the label, you wont get any probiotic
benefit, warns Ingrid Kohlstadt, M.D., of Johns
Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
And when you add sugar or other carbs to
yogurt, its no longer such a high-protein food.

Poison ivy, poison oak, and
poison sumac all contain
urushiol, an oil in their vines
and leaves that causes a red,
itchy rash in about 85% of
people who come in contact
with it, says dermatologist
Bruce Robinson, M.D., of
Lenox Hill Hospital in New
York City. If youre exposed,
dont scratch. Use soap to wash
the oil off (some patches of
rash can take as long as 48
hours to appear), and apply
cold compresses to ease the
itch. And since the oil often
lingers on shoes, door handles,
gardening tools and under
fingernails, make sure you
wash everything. Y

10 Wacky Medical Cures
Next time youre feeling a bit under the weather, give thanks that your
treatment wont include caterpillars or malaria parasites.
4,000 YEARS AGO
CROCODILE DUNG
was used by Egyptian women
as an ingredient in birth
control. More oddball methods:
bamboo tissue in Japan,
clumps of grass in Africa, and
linen rags in Europe.
1917 SNAKE OIL, which was
being sold at fairs as a remedy
for all pain, was exposed as
quackery. Real snake oil was
brought to the U.S. in the 1800s
by Chinese railroad workers,
who used it to soothe sore joints.
650 HOT WAX was pushed
into teeth cavities in India
back when dentists believed
tooth worms caused pain
and decay. In Scotland,
fabric-wrapped caterpillars
were pressed against bad
teeth. Egyptians used
unwrapped dead mice.
1810 MERCURY,
now a known poison,
was used to
cure syphilis.
2009 HORSE PLACENTA was
used by Mariana Kovacevic, a
healer from Serbia, on European
soccer players, who spent up to
$4,400 for treatments to
supposedly heal injuries.
1163 BLOODLETTING, considered a
cure-all, was performed by barbers,
who added lancets and leeches to their
scissors and razors. The practice has
made a comeback, with leeches and
maggots classified as the first live
medical devices by the FDA in 2004
yes, they can help heal skin grafts.
1880s THE ELECTRIC VIBRATOR
was introduced by British physician
Joseph Mortimer Granville. It was
used as an aid in the treatment
of female hysteria. At the
time women were thought
to be incapable of orgasm.
1927 MALARIA
parasites, normally
spread by mosquitos,
were injected by
Viennese psychiatrist
Julius Wagner-Jauregg
into patients suffering
from nervous disorders.
He believed the fever
would cure them; instead,
up to 13% were killed.
1922 RADIOACTIVITY
was used in a radium-
lined jug, the Revigerator,
that supposedly made
drinking water healthier.

Would you consider spraying urine on
your neck? Or spreading arsenic on your lips?
Thats what you could be doing if you buy
impostor beauty goods, says Valerie Salembier,
founder of Dont Buy Fakes, an organization
devoted to fighting the counterfeit industry.
The FBI recently issued a consumer alert for
false cosmeticsmost of which come from
unregulated, unsanitary labs. Made with
carcinogens such as beryllium and cadmium,
these products often also contain dangerous
levels of bacteria, says the FBI.
How to avoid the scams:
Dont buy fragrances or cosmetics at flea
markets or mall kiosksa common move at
the holidays, says Salembier. Buy only from
the brands website, a major department store,
a major drug chain, or an authorized dealer.
Know what the real product looks like so you
can compare. Notice the color, the typeface, the
look of the packaging, the spacing between
letters, and check the spelling, says Salembier.

Q
Ive heard positive things about
coconut oil, but I see on the jar
it has 14 grams of saturated fat per
tablespoon. Is it really a healthy
thing? Jane Zentz, 64, Bourbon, IN
A
Youre right, coconut oil is about
90% saturated fat. So why do Lisa
and I spread it on toast and substitute it
for butter everywhere else?
Because not all saturated fats are the
same. Coconut oil contains a type of fat
called lauric acid, which your body can
process faster and more efficiently than
the saturated fat in a T-bone steak. So
less gets stored around your waistline.
You can use it in place of other fats;
its one of the most versatile ingredients
I know. It breaks down and smokes at
a higher temperature than many other
oils, so its better for cooking and
baking. At the supermarket, look for
virgin coconut oil and
avoid anything that
says partially
hydrogenated.
From gluten-free foods to
coconut oil to uncomfortable
personal infections and
more, Dr. Oz gives you all the
answers, straight.

Anything!

Q
Is it true that people who have lost a lot of weight need to exercise
more than others to keep it off? Annemarie Kautz, 52, Croswell, MI
A
Unfortunately, yes. Your body hates losing weight. When it does, its calorie-
burning furnace gets less efficient. So if you once weighed 180 pounds
and youre now 150, you burn fewer calories going about your day than your
150-pound friend who was never overweight. There is good news, though:
Once you lose weight, you naturally move more. And surveys of successful
losers say daily exercise helps keep pounds off.

Q
I heard something about
special steps women should
take if they want to prevent
strokes. Do I really need to do
something different from men?
Stroke is all over my family tree.
Mimi Kolb, 52, Reading, PA
A
Yes, you do need to do a few
things differently. Why?
Women have a higher lifetime risk
of stroke, and theres a growing
recognition that female-specific
factors like birth control pills and
pregnancy can raise your risk.
(In the past, most stroke research
was done in men.)
The American Heart Association
recently released extensive new
stroke prevention guidelines just
for you. But heres the thing: The
moves you should make depend
on your specific health history, so
you need to talk with your doctor
about which apply. Some biggies
you might need to pay attention to:
If youre having a babyor trying
not to with oral contraceptives
its essential to know your blood
pressure. High blood pressure
elevates stroke risk in either case.
If youre over 50, ask your doctor
if you should consider taking
aspirin to help prevent strokes.
Of course, the general stroke-
prevention and good life basics
still apply for everyone: Stay
active, eat well, and maintain a
healthy weight.

Q
Should I pick gluten-free bread over regular bread, even if Im
not gluten sensitive? Julie Christie, 42, New York City
A
I wouldnt. Its trendy to eat gluten-free foods even if you dont have
gluten intolerance or Celiac disease, but its unnecessary. No science
has shown that gluten-free bread offers extra health benefits or helps
with weight loss more than regular bread. Gluten-free loaves might use
buckwheat, rice flour, tapioca, and other substitutes for wheat. These are
healthy foods, but without gluten, loaves tend to be heavy and hard. So
how do companies compensate? They often add fats, sugar, and binders
to make gluten-free products softer and tastier. This means they may have
more calories than regular breadand youre losing out on the iron, zinc,
and B vitamins found in wheat. Why make that trade if you dont have to?
Q
I sleep 10 feet away from my WiFi router. Is that bad for my health?
Janet Fu, 35, Rockville, MD
A
I wouldnt call it my favorite health
strategy, but its not the worst
thing you can do, either. Heres the
deal: The electromagnetic radiation
from internet routers is weaker than
that from cell phones, and there isnt
conclusive evidence showing harm
from cell phone radiation. The router
also worries me less because youre
not pressing it against your head or
body. The cordless phone base station
on your nightstand is probably emitting
more radiation than your WiFi router,
so keep things in perspective.
My only asterisk: Id personally err on
the extra-safe side with small children,
since their bodies are more vulnerable
in every way. Just like I wouldnt let a
toddler talk on a cell phone for two
hours a day, I wouldnt let one sleep
two feet away from a switched-on WiFi
router, or even a laptop, every night.
Q

Does drinking baking soda in water really help fight urinary tract
infections (UTIs)? I dont like drinking all the calories in cranberry juice
or going on antibiotics if I dont have to! JoAnne Glenn, 41, Tampa, FL
A
Baking soda may give you relief from a mild UTI, but you have to catch it
early. At the first sign of oneburning when you pee, going more frequently,
dark or cloudy urinestir a quarter teaspoon of baking soda into eight ounces of
water and drink it down. This makes urine less acid and more alkaline, and the
bugs attacking your bladder really hate alkaline environments. Baking soda
seems harmless but can interact with prescription drugs or cause an electrolyte
imbalance if you overdo it (as little as one and a half teaspoons a day can be too
much if youre over 60). Talk to your doc if UTI symptoms dont stop or get worse.
WHICH CAN FIGHT UTIS?
a. Baking Soda c. Antibiotics b. Cranberry Juice

MEN WOMEN
Guys bodies activate a
smaller number of sweat
glands than womens do
when they exercise, but
those glands work harder.
So along with shedding
more water, men lose more
sodium and other minerals
known as electrolytes.
Women activate more sweat
glands during exercise. But
if youre not in shape yet,
you have to reach a higher
body temperature before
youll even start sweating.
Stay cool by being active
in the morning or evening,
when its less warm out.
WHO SWEATS HARDER?
Anxiety and tension
stimulate a sweaty mix
of water and fat thats
chemically different
from what flows on a hot
day. Stress-formula anti-
perspirants can mask its
odorat least so other men
cant smell it, says Charles
J. Wysocki, Ph.D., of the
Monell Chemical Senses
Center in Philadelphia.
Her stress sweatand its
odoralso differs from
hot-weather sweat. It may
have evolved to warn others
of danger, says Dee Anna
Glaser, M.D., a dermatologist
at St. Louis University.
But guys might not pick
up on your jitters, as
their noses are more easily
distracted by cover-up
scents like deodorant.
Women with hyperhidrosis
are slightly more likely to
have ultra-wet underarms,
often controllable with
prescription antiperspirants.
When those dont work,
some people have
underarm Botox injections,
which block the nerves that
trigger sweat glands.

squelches inflammation to ease pain and itching, fights bacteria to ward off infection,
and draws moisture to the area to help you heal faster, says Adam Friedman, M.D.,
director of dermatologic research at the Montefiore Medical Center. While most bites
are minor annoyances that can be alleviated with treatments like the salves above, if you
spike a fever or the mark is very painful, see a doctor. Kelly DiNardo

TRY ON
MAKEUP AT
A STORE?
Sampling cosmetics at the
makeup counter can feel as
indulgent as a day at the spa,
but it comes with a small risk
of contracting pinkeye, a
cold sore, or even a bacterial
skin infection. Unless the
salesperson opens a new
package, you may be exposed
to bacteria and viruses left on
the product by everyone whos
tried it before, says Debra
Wattenberg, M.D., of Mount
Sinai School of Medicine in New
York. If you cant get a single-
use sampleand a back-of-
your-hand test isnt enough to
help you choose the perfect
colorclean the surface of the
sample with an alcohol wipe to
help remove pathogens.
What Happens When You...
GO TO BED
ANGRY?
When you crawl into bed still
simmering about a fight,
your brain releases hormones
that raise your blood pressure
and disrupt your immune sys-
tem, explains psychiatrist
Gregory Fricchione, M.D., of
Massachusetts General
Hospital. It will take longer
for you to fall asleep, and
when you do, you might not
log the kind of restful slumber
you need. Over time, the
stress and poor sleep can
even increase your risk of
heart problems, Fricchione
adds. If you cant work out
a truce before bed, spend a
few minutes focusing on
something you feel grateful
for, which can stop the
stress response in its tracks.
pluck a
nose hair?
Even the most feminine
nostril can sometimes sprout
a grandpa-like hair. While
youll probably be fine if you
pluck it, theres a tiny chance
this will lead to an infection,
says Grant Hamilton, M.D., of
the Mayo Clinic. Pulling out
the hair can cause a wound
at the follicle, which can let in
some of the bacteria that
normally live in your nose,
he explains. Since veins in
the facial area lack protective
valves, the bacteria could
theoretically enter your
bloodstream and lead to
infections elsewhere in the
body. To be safe, groom with
blunt-edged scissors designed
to protect the skin.
peel off a
sunburn?
As vigilant as you are about
applying sunblock, you can
still miss a spot. A few days
later, when your skin starts
flaking like a croissant,
you might be tempted to
pick at it. But the new skin
cells underneath, which are
growing to replace the
damaged ones on top, may
not be ready for exposure
and will be extra-sensitive,
says Joseph Sobanko,
M.D., of the University of
Pennsylvania Medical
School. Instead, moisturize
with a product containing
aloe vera to create a slick
surface and make it easier for
dead cells to move up and off.

B. Flip-flops look natural and innocent, but they offer next to no support
for your heel and arch. That can change the way you walk, throw off all the little
mechanical workings of your foot, and aggravate heel pain, Achilles tendon pain,
and even other pains throughout your body, says Stephen Pribut, D.P.M., clinical
assistant professor of surgery at George Washington University Medical Center.
Skimpy flats arent much better (healthier flats have firm soles). Thats not to say
heels are heroes: If theyre higher than three inches, they can put you at risk for
strained tendons, broken ankles, and knee stress. Keep heel height to two and
a half inches or less, and look for chunkier heels like the ones on the boots above,
which absorb the force from the ground as you walk better than stilettos do.
c. Boots b. Flip-ops a. High heels
When do your feet not
get bigger?
a. When youre pregnant
b. At the end of the day
c. As you get older
d. Afer a long walk
D. A long walk wont change the size of your feet,
but plenty else will. Feet gradually get a little wider by
the end of the day as gravity pulls fluid down to them.
Thats why youll end up buying shoes that fit better if
you shop for them in the evening. When youre
pregnant, the same hormones that relax your ligaments
and joints to accommodate the baby also make those
in your feet a little looser. The result: You might need
a new shoe wardrobe along with that bassinet. The
new, expanded size of your feet can be permanent (but
this seems to happen only during first pregnancies).
Ligaments can also loosen with age, Pribut says, and foot
size may increase a half size every decade after age 40.
C. If you cant feel the spot on the bottom of your foot where your
doctor is pressing, or if you feel a tingling there, it could be a sign of
diabetes. This disease is known to damage nerves over time, and the trouble
tends to show up in your feet first. While diabetes is a common disease,
more unusual ones can show up in the feet as well. Doctors may also be able
to detect immune disorders like lupus (one symptom being cold feet).
Which common chronic
disease can docs detect
via your feet?
a. High blood pressure
b. Tumors
c. Diabetes
d. Arthritis
C. Not only do your feet
have 52 bones (26 each);
together they also contain
66 joints and about
100 different soft tissues,
making them two of the
most complex body parts
you have. So when your feet
have a bad day, so do your
knees, hips, and even your
mood. What happens with
your foot directly affects
what happens above it,
explains Leslie Campbell,
D.P.M., spokesperson for the
American Podiatric Medical
Association. So caring for
them right can keep your
whole body healthy.

D. For the best relief, try
two temperature settings.
Go as cold as you can stand
for 10 to 15 minutes, and then
alternate back to warm or hot
water for the same amount
of time. While the cold can be
a little uncomfortable, going
back and forth until you feel
relief constricts and then
dilates the blood vessels.
That shock helps milk the
fluid out, Campbell says.
And the fluid is what causes
the swelling and dog-tired
feeling you get from being on
your feet all day. Add Epsom
salts to the water to draw out
even more of the extra fluid.

a quick foot massage (see

A foot massage feels ah-mazing,
but pressing on the right parts
of your soles can do more than
relax you, according to the ancient
practice of reflexology. Every
organ of your body is believed to
be linked to a certain area on your
foot, so applying pressure in the
right spots could provide relief to
the corresponding areas, especially
if the spot youre working on feels
tender. Whether or not you believe
in the links, a DIY foot rub (or one
from a friend!) can be helpful.
To get started, reflexology expert
Michelle Ebbin, author of Hands
on Feet, recommends pressing on
the middle of your sole, where
the stress centers are (the solar
plexus point). Then follow the
diagram below to connect key
organs and symptoms throughout
your body to their related spots
on your soles.

To prevent stinky feet,
you should use:
B. Its not just for breakfast:
If you soak your feet in strong, tepid
black tea for 30 minutes a day, the
tannic acid can close pores and dry
out the feet in a good way, reducing
sweat, odor, and reluctance to take
your shoes off in public. If you like,
add a little peppermint oil to the tea
as an extra odor buster.
The most common
reason your heels hurt is:
a. Trouble in the tissue
that supports your arch
b. Plantar warts
c. Blisters
d. Legos camouaged by the carpet
A. Most heel pain is caused by a
condition called plantar fasciitis,
inflammation of the thick band of tissue
(the plantar fascia) that starts in your heel
and supports your arch. Putting weight
on your foot abruptly, like getting out of bed
in the morning, stretches the band and
hurts. Gently stretching your calves before
you start walking around can help reduce
and prevent this pain. Also useful: Roll your
foot over a frozen water bottle for a few
minutes to tame swelling, wear supportive
shoes (low wedges are good), and go barefoot
as little as possible.

42 DR. OZ THE GOOD LIFE MAY ^ JUNE 2014
O
On a warm evening last August, Glory Breitweiser
tucked her 5-year-old daughter, Ezrie, into bed and gave
her son, Logan, 20, an extra-long hug goodnight. Then she
and her husband, James, settled down to watch Sherlock,
though they were both too distracted to follow the plot.
The next morning, the 41-year-old Denver massage thera-
pist was scheduled to undergo major surgeryshe had
offered to donate her kidney to a strangerand though
she tried to focus on the unknown person shed be saving,
she couldnt help but have some last-minute fears. I
knew the surgery was safe, but I was afraid of not waking
up, of never seeing my family again, she says. Glory slept
fitfully, finally waking at 4 A.M., and she and James barely
spoke as they drove to the hospital in the dark. It was
our way of not breaking down, she explains.
Glory had come close to making a donation earlier
that year when Jamess diabetic aunt needed a kidney, but
Glory wasnt a match, and neither was James. Unlike her
husband, though, Glory had been thinking about becom-
ing a living donor for several yearsever since she heard
a story on the radio about a man who had given his kidney
to a stranger. I was struck by how a regular person can ac-
tually save someones life, Glory says. I want my kids to
grow up in a world where people take care of each other.
A few days after she was told she wasnt a match for
Jamess aunt, Glory made up her mind to continue trying

doing good

How This Mom
Saved 5 Lives
What would you do to rescue a
stranger? By donating her healthy

that offered new hope to families

to become a donor; if she couldnt help someone in her
own family, she would help someone elses family. She
walked into Porter Adventist Hospital and asked how she
could give her kidney to whoever needed it.
She didnt know it then, but Glorys generosity was
about to start a chain of surgeries that would bring hope
to five different families across the country.
Glory
I wanted to give an amazing gift.
Every healthy person is born with a pair of kidneys,
the organs that filter waste from your bloodstream and
remove excess fluid from your body. You can live a long
life with just one, but if both kidneys fail, your only
hope for survival is dialysis (a painful procedure in
which your blood is filtered by a machine or by a
cleansing fluid pumped into your belly) or a trans-
plant. In the past, anyone needing a transplant had to
hope and pray that a relative or friend with a compati-
ble kidney was willing to give up one of theirs, or wait
for a donation from a cadaver, which lasts only half as
long on average as a donation from a living person.
But in 2007, a passionate dad came up with a revo-
lutionary idea that offers hope to the nearly 100,000
Americans waiting for a transplant. Garet Hil, the
father of a 10-year-old girl suffering from kidney

failure, knew that there were husbands and wives, cous-
ins and friends all across the country who were eager
to donate a kidney to a loved one, but because they had
incompatible blood types or antibodies, they werent a
match. What if he could plug the info from all those will-
ing donors into a database to set up a pay it forward
chain? His idea became the National Kidney Registry.
Heres how it works: Each chain begins with an altruis-
tic donor like Glory, who gives out of the goodness of his
or her heart. That kidney is matched to a needy recipi-
ent, whose friend or relative can then donate to another
stranger identified by the computer as a perfect match.
The logistics can seem impossibly complicated. The sur-
geries must be scheduled as tightly as possibleideally
within the same weekto keep the organs healthy and
to make sure no one drops out. Though typical donation
chains touch five to 10 people, some have saved up to 30.
Agreeing to give a part of yourself to someone you may
never meet takes not only a healthy body but a strong
mental state, and Glory underwent several tests to prove
she was up to the sacrifice. Then, just days after her infor-
mation was entered into the registry, she got the call.
I want my kids to
grow up in a world
where people take
care of each other. Glory
It was like someone had given me a gift I really
wanted, but then I suddenly saw it in a differ-
ent light, Glory says. I was scared, but also
excited.
Despite her fears, Glory never considered
backing out, and on that August morning, she
checked into the hospital, where a surgeon
made four incisions in her abdomen and care-
fully extracted her left kidney. The organ was
packed in ice in a Styrofoam chest fitted with
a GPS device and placed on a two-hour flight
to San Francisco, where it was delivered to
Larry
I could feel my life slipping away.
The morning of his transplant, Larry Abel, 62,
woke up feeling hopeful for the first time in
years. He had been diabetic since age 11, and
his kidneys had given out more than a year
earlier. Dialysis was becoming less and less
effective, and left him with terrible cramps
and nausea. Though Larry continued working
as an auditor at a communications com-
pany through his illness, he felt so weak and
exhausted that he had given up all the other
activities he loved, including photographing
landscapes and wildlife. I could feel myself
slipping away, he says. His wife, Roberta, 63,
had desperately wanted to give him one of
her kidneys, but she wasnt a match. When Larrys doc-
tor told the couple about the registry, Roberta agreed to
give her kidney to someoneanyoneif it meant Larry
would get one in return. I didnt want her to go through
itI knew how difficult the recovery would be, says
Larry. But Roberta showed no fear.
Roberta never hesitated. Im not such a martyr, she
says with a laugh. Of course the surgery would be hard,
but I also knew that life would be so much better for
both of us if Larry was healthy. Plus, wouldnt you do it
for somebody you love?
So as Glorys kidney was arriving at the airport and
Larry was being prepped to receive it at the UCSF Medi-
cal Center in San Francisco, Roberta also went under the
knife to become the next link in the chain.
Roberta

You only need one good kidney!
Roberta and Larry had their surgeries on the same day
Roberta first. We passed each other as I was coming out
of the recovery room and he was going into surgery, she
recalls. We touched hands and said I love you.

Larry had been right to worry. Robertas recovery was
slow and difficult. The pain medications made her nau-
seous, and she couldnt get up and walk right away. Larry
had a long recovery ahead of him too, but he immediate-
ly felt the positive effects of Glorys kidney, which sprang
into action the moment it was connected to his body.
The day after surgery, he made his way down the hall to
visit his wife. We joked about how terrible we looked,
Larry says. But we were both smiling with relief.
Roberta stayed in the hospital for five days and then
spent weeks recuperating, but she was truly touched
by how her community pulled together to help her.
Our neighbors signed up to bring us food, and I didnt
have to take care of the dog or the cat, she says. Larry
doted on me; he kept saying, Youre the donor, you can
do whatever you want!
But what amazed Roberta the most was that even after
six decades of hard work, her kidney was healthy enough
to save someone elses life. As soon as it was removed, it
was picked up by a courier and raced across town to Cali-
fornia Pacific Medical Center to save
Sandra

I got the best birthday present ever!
I had no idea who my donor was, but I was so grateful
to her, says Sandra Vulis, who turned 25 just weeks after
her surgery. Sandra was born with double ureters, the
tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder; the condi-
tion caused her kidneys to fail when she was just 6. Her
fathera perfect matchgave her one of his, but by the
time she was 20, her body had started to reject the organ.
Like Larry, Sandra had been dealing with the pain and
life-changing difficulties of dialysis. I would get tired so
easily, she explains. I just wanted to stay in bed.
Sandras mother, Bella, 47, who had become a trans-
plant nurse 15 years earlier, wasnt a match, so she and
her daughter both joined the National Kidney Registry
and waited anxiously as Sandras health deteriorated.
After three potential matches fell through, Sandra and
Bella were both losing hope.
The family even considered buying a kidney for
$12,000 in Iran, where such sales are legal. But then
came the call about Robertas kidney, located not across
the world but just across town. When everything falls
into place, it feels like a miracle, says Bella. Mother and
daughter checked into the hospital that same day, and as
Sandra was receiving her lifesaving gift, Bella underwent
surgery to remove her kidney.
Bellas kidney was flown across the country to save a
26-year-old in Atlanta, and then the chain continued on,
circling back to California, where it gave new life to a
49-year-old father of five and a 61-year-old father of two.
There were five donors and five recipients, each pair un-
known to each other, but they now shared an intimate
connection that would last the rest of their lives.
An emotional reunion
When Dr. Oz The Good Life gathered the first five mem-
bers of the kidney chain for a photo shoot six months
after the surgeries, everyone still had scars, but they were
jumping back into life with a zest unthinkable the previ-
ous summer. Sandra, once too sick to get out of bed, has
started a masters program in public health. Larry has
picked up photography again, and he and Robertawho
recently fostered 11 high-energy puppiesare planning
a celebratory trip to France and Italy in the fall.
It was like Christmas happening in one millisecond,
says Glory of the groups reunion. It was a beautiful
moment that came at us so quickly. Roberta embraced
Sandra, thrilled to see the young woman looking so vi-
brant. I said hello, and then leaned down and said hello
to my kidney, Roberta says with a laugh. Sandra loaned
her scarf to Ezrie, who wore it all day long as the group
headed out to admire the views from San Franciscos Kite
Hill. They shared a joyous lunch, celebrating the gift of
life made possible by Glorys instinct to do one brave act.
It felt weird to have people say Thank you so much,
Glory says. I wanted to say it right back to them. I was
able to accomplish my dream and share it with all these
people. I just felt so grateful.

MORNING
U LIMIT CAFFEINE. It can dehydrate skin. Reduce
your morning caffeine by replacing coffee with
antioxidant-rich green tea to reduce the effects of
skin-aging free radicals.
U KEEP SHOWERS SHORT and water warm
but not hot, which is often drying. Apply
Eucerin Daily Protection Moisturizing
Body Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 15
while skins still damp. The light, fast-absorbing
formula provides 24-hour moisture while helping
against sunburn and long-term sun damage.
U TAKE A MULTIVITAMIN. It helps ensure skin
gets essential nutrients like Vitamins A (to
rebuild tissue), C and E (to ght signs of aging).
NOON
U SEEK SHADE. Be especially sun-sensible
between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when sun is
strongest, and wear a wide-brimmed hat
and long sleeves.
U TAKE THE STAIRS. Even if only for 10 minutes
at a time, being physically active increases
oxygen, promotes circulation and rids toxins
all of which keeps skin vibrant.
U OUTDOORS FOR LONG? Reapply Eucerin
Daily Protection Body and Face Lotions
to help skin stay protected from harmful UVA
and UVB exposure.
NIGHT
U COME CLEAN. Gentle, soap-free cleansers,
like Eucerins Gentle Hydrating Cleanser, remove
makeup,and dont strip skin of precious oils.
U DRINK UP. Keep a glass of water on your
nightstand to help stay hydrated through
the night.
U GET A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP. Your body
repairs skin cells and balances hydration
during sleep. Not getting enough sleep
produces more of the stress hormones that
cause inammation.

Your underarms arent the only
spot that gets unglamorous
on a hot dayyour groin is
pretty similar. Both areas
produce an odorless sweat that,
combined with everyday
bacteria on the skin, can result
in a stinky situation, says Libby
Edwards, M.D., a vulvologist
and chief of dermatology at
Carolinas Medical Center in
Charlotte, NC.
MAKE IT STOP: Simply rinse
with water (yes, reallydocs
say water alone is effective) or
mild soap. But be gentlejust
as overwashing hands can
leave them red and cracked,
aggressive cleansing can irritate
your vulva, says Edwards. If
you dont have time to hop in
the shower, use a sensitive-skin
baby wipe, says Streicher. And
if the issue lingers, you dont
need a stronger productyou
need to see a doctor. Persistent
odor can be a sign of bacterial
vaginosis, a treatable infection
that affects one in three women
of childbearing age.
Yikes! Your Summer Gyno
If your period is imminent or your cycle is incon-
sistent, you might decide to wear a just-in-case
tamponespecially if youll be putting on a swim-
suit. In fact, one in four perimenopausal women
use tampons or pads between periods because of
unpredictable cycles. If you dont bleed, though,
tampons absorb your natural vaginal lubrication
instead, making removal painful.
MAKE IT STOP: Choose the lightest possible
absorbency for a just-in-case tampon, and dab
a small amount of silicone lubricant (which
lasts longer and is less sticky than water-based
lube) on the tip before inserting it. Use the same
product to relubricate your vagina if you remove a
dry tampon, says Streicher.
Your vaginal walls have accordion-like
wrinkles, called rugae, which help the space
expand and stretch. When sand invades, it
can get trapped in these folds, causing
painful abrasion that can lead to infection.
MAKE IT STOP: Docs almost never recom-
mend douching for hygienebut this is
one exception, says gynecologist Lauren
Streicher, M.D., of Northwestern Universitys
Feinberg School of Medicine and author
of Love Sex Again. Youll need to rinse sand
out and help ward o infection with an
over-the-counter, fragrance-free medicated
douche. Then rell the botle with plain
water and rinse until all the sand is gone.
Lastly, to restore pH balance disturbed by
the douche and promote the growth of
good bacteria, Streicher recommends
RepHresh Vaginal Gel, an over-the-counter
gel in an applicator.
Uh-oh,
do I
smell?
I got sand where?!
If you shave or wax your bikini
line, you know all too well that
the hair will eventually return.
When it does, it can curl
inward and puncture the skin.
White blood cells rush in to
jump-start healing, resulting in
a red, pimple-like bump.
MAKE IT STOP: Every other
morning, exfoliate your bikini
line with a gentle scrub to
clear away dead skin cells that
can trap hair. Not helping?
An over-the-counter face wash
with benzoyl peroxide may
reduce inflammation, says Amy
McMichael, M.D., chair of the
dermatology department at
Wake Forest Baptist Medical
Center in Winston-Salem, NC.
And resist the temptation to
tweeze! It could make things
worse, she says. Your body
should push the hair out on its
own; if not, see a dermatologist.
As for preventing the bumps
altogether, the only surefire
measure is laser hair removal.

Dark
Yellow
Normal urine should be
so clear that you could
read a newspaper
through it, says Dr. Oz.
But if youre running
low on fluids, your pee
can get concentrated
and become dark gold.
The yellow hue comes
from the excretion
of urochrome, a
blood pigment.
Concentrated urine
also smells riper than
usual. So if you spot
dark-gold pee in the
toilet, drink some
water, stat.
Blue/
Green
Seeing a toilet full
of Gatorade-colored
pee can be freaky, but
its most likely the
result of food coloring,
vitamins, medications,
or even too much
asparagus (the stinky
asparagus smell is
due to the breakdown
of a sulfur compound
in the veggie). If you
pee blue, two possible
offenders include
methylene blue, a
substance used in
some medical tests,
andfor menViagra.
Yes, the sex pill can
cause this rather
colorful side effect.
Yellow-
Orange
High doses of the
B vitamin riboflavin
can turn your pee
yellow-orange, and so
can consuming large
quantities of carrots
or carrot juice. Some
antibiotics and certain
pills for bladder pain
(phenazopyridine, for
example) can also give
your stream an eerie
Halloween-like glow.
When your urine looks
streaky or clouded,
it may be a sign of a
urinary tract infection,
especially if youre
going more frequently
and experiencing
burning as you pee.
Floating particles may
mean your kidneys
arent filtering out
proteins properly,
which could be a
symptom of diabetes.
Your doc may order a
urinalysis or CT scan
to figure out whats
going on.
Red/
Brown
Eating lots of beets,
rhubarb, blackberries,
or fava beans can turn
your pee anything
from pinkish-red to
brown. But if you
havent eaten any of
these, keep an eye on
your pee. If its red for
more than 24 hours
or is accompanied
by symptoms such
as pelvic pain,
consult your doctor
immediately. The red
could be blood from
an infection, kidney
stones, or other serious
conditions; brown
could be a buildup of
bilirubin from hepatitis.

Messier stream: Is your stream
spraying in different directions? The

They boost your energy, heal
damaged cells, and keep your
immunity strong: Key mineral
nutrients, from boron to zinc, are
hiding in plain sight in many of
your favorite foods. But you may still
come up short. The Guide to Mineral
Nutrients in these pages reveals
which foods have the ones you need.
Since nobodys diet is perfect, it can
be smart to fill in the gaps with a
multivitamin that has minerals, too.
Even health-oriented diet choices,
like eating vegetarian, could leave
you low. See page 53 for more info on
what causes mineral deficits, then

WHERE DID THE
MINERALS GO?
You might be getting fewer of these
nutrients from food than your parents
or grandparents did. Heres why:
Our soil isnt as mineral-rich
as it used to be. That means our
food isnt, either. Some produce
declined as much as 40% in certain
key minerals between 1950 and 1999,
according to a study in the Journal
of the American College of Nutrition.
When food gets processedthink
refined grainsnutrients can be lost.
Your body is changing. Poor
digestion, aging, and stress challenge
mineral absorption. So do drugs like
acid suppressors. Even extra fiber can
sweep nutrients out. Luckily, the foods
on this pageand many otherscan
give your body the boost it needs.

You might be
low if you:
Eat a lot of
saturated fat. This can
reduce magnesium
absorption.
Take calcium
supplements. Since
calcium can work
against magnesium,
youll need to
balance it with extra
magnesium.
Get it from:
A cup of cooked
greens (beet greens,
spinach, Swiss chard)
offers half your daily
magnesium. Its also in
sesame and pumpkin
seeds, cashews, quinoa,
beans, summer
squash, and halibut.
Supplement tip:
Few multis contain sig-
nificant magnesium;
its bulky and would
make pills too big. If
you dont get much
from food or you take
calcium, consider a
separate magnesium
supplement (300
to 400 mg). Take it
before bed, since mag-
nesium helps promote
healthy sleep.
This mineral is the earths eighth most
common element, yet a whopping
68% to 80% of Americans arent
getting enough of it. If youre one of
them, youre missing out on natures
relaxation secret. Normally, magnesium
is at work inside your cells, doing
hundreds of tasks that help bring you
energy, better sleep, fewer headaches,
and less inammation (plus good bone
health). When youre stressed, calcium
can jump into cells and create tension.
Magnesium usually kicks it back out. If
theres not enough magnesium to do the
job, though, your cells can stay stressed.
The Stress Fighter
Magnesium

You might be
low if you:
Consume too much
sodium. Convenience
foods are loaded with
it. Even if they contain
potassium, you cant
always get the balance
you need.
Eat a low-carb diet.
Many potassium-
rich foodsbeans,
bananas, potatoes
are high in carbs. If
you also dont eat
greens, you might
not be getting enough
of this mineral.
Get it from:
Swiss chard, papayas,
spinach, potatoes,
white beans, eda-
mame, bananas, kiwis,
and avocados.
Supplement tip:
Many Americans
dont get enough
potassium, and multis
usually contain little of
it. Thats not a reason
to take potassium
supplements unless
your doctor prescribes
them for a specific
condition. Instead,
increase your levels
through food.
Potassium is essential for keeping your
nerves and muscles functioning; getting
enough of it may help reduce stroke risk
and keep blood pressure under control.
It also helps cells create energy. Eating
lots of foods rich in potassium will build
your stores. But you need to watch out
for sodium, which creates a blockade
that makes it difcult for potassium
to perform one of its essential jobs:
bringing water and nutrients into your
cells. Without enough potassium, you
can drink all the water you want, but
you wont be truly hydrated.

This mighty little mineral enables your
insulin to work efciently, which may
help prevent damaging sugar buildup
in your bloodstream. That, in turn,
makes you better at keeping prediabetes
and type 2 diabetes at bay. Chromium
may also help prevent high cholesterol,
heart disease, and even depression.
Chromium shows up in many places
but in small amountsso the best way
to get it is to eat a variety of foods.
The Blood Sugar Manager
Chromium
You might be
low if you:
Eat lots of refined
grains. Whole grains
like oats and barley
contain chromium,
but processed grains
usually dont.
Dont get enough
vitamin C. You need
vitamin C to help you
absorb chromium.
Nature knows this,
which is why broccoli
contains both.
Get it from:
Broccolithe star
which has almost a
days worth in a cup.
Oats, green beans,
turkey, and beef also
have chromium.
Supplement tip:
Most of us can
benefit from daily
chromium; thats why
its in multivitamins.
But you should still
include chromium-
rich foods in your
diet. If you are insulin
resistant, prediabetic,
or diabetic, also talk
with your doctor about
whether you might
want a chromium
supplement.

Zinc helps keep your immune
system up and runningzinc
lozenges have even been shown to
help ght colds. It also helps your
skin repair itself and keeps your vision
healthy. Getting too little of this
mineral afects your sense of taste and
smell, yet extra zinc via nasal sprays
can compromise your ability to smell.
The Immunity Builder
Zinc
You might be
low if you:
Are a vegetarian.
People who dont eat
meat or seafood may
need up to 50% more
zinc a day than people
who eat meat and fish.
Are over age 60
especially if youre
eating a less-than-
perfect diet.
Get it from:
Oysters are the richest
source, but people who
dont eat them can
find zinc in beef, ses-
ame seeds, cashews,
pumpkin seeds, spin-
ach, and chickpeas.
Theres even a bit in
Brussels sprouts.
Supplement tip:
Extra zinc can be
helpful when fighting a
cold, but too much of
this mineral can work
against you and may
eventually create a
copper deficiency. If
you take a multi with
zinc, stick to one zinc
lozenge every two to
three hours at the on-
set of cold symptoms.
This guide is not a substitute for individualized medical advice. Always talk to your doctor
before taking supplements. If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, check the recommendations
from the National Institutes of Health at ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/list-VitaminsMinerals/.

10 More Key
Mineral Players
1. Boron
Get this mineral
from common foods
including raisins,
almonds, and apples.
2. Calcium
Your multi and a good
diet should get you
enough, but discuss
supplements with your
doc if you dont eat
top sources, including
dairy and greens like
collards and kale.
3. Copper
You need only a little,
and your multivitamin
delivers. So do oysters,
cashews, kale, mush-
rooms, and clams.
4. Iodine
Youre likely getting
yours from iodized salt
(sea salt has little or
none) or these other
sources: cod, yogurt,
milk, and shrimp.
5. Iron
After age 50, women
need less iron, and
multis for this age
group reflect that. But
you dont have to stay
away from iron-rich
foods like tofu, spinach,
and lentils.
6. Manganese
This mineral can be
found in pine nuts,
chickpeas, spinach,
pineapple, brown rice,
raspberries, and oats.
7. Molybdenum
Your multivitamin
provides some; get the
rest from beans, lentils,
yogurt, almonds, and
chestnuts.
8. Phosphorous
Aim to get it from
seafood, chicken,
lentils, and almonds,
rather than sodas and
packaged foods.
9. Selenium
Most Americans get
adequate amounts of
this mineral from food.
Brazil nuts are loaded
with it, and its also
found in cod, shrimp,
tuna, and salmon.
10. Sodium
Even without the salt
shaker, Americans
typically get twice what
they need, thanks to
bread, cold cuts, and
other packaged foods.
A good diet provides most of these, but if you dont eat the foods
listed, make sure your multivitamin contains that mineral.
How do you know if youre low on minerals?
Blood tests can reveal if youre deficient in certain minerals, but they cant
always tell if youre getting optimal amounts. While a healthy diet is your best
source, a multivitamin supplement that includes minerals is a good backup.
To develop your ideal mineral Rx, talk to your doctorand if you suspect your
diet is lacking, a dietitianabout your lifestyle, health, and food choices.

An amazing body is the one that you
were meant to have. I could never be a
curvy girl. My body type is skinny. But
when I was younger, skinny didnt mean I
was healthy or taking good care of myself.
Once I learned to connect with my body,
I realized I could build strength and teach
it to do things I didnt know it was capable
of. When you have the knowledge that
helps you take care of your body, it
empowers you. Youre going to look so
good that people are going to be like,
Whaaat? Theyre not going to be holding
you up to the standard of a model. Theyre
going to think, You look amazing!
A diet that doesnt work for you is like
a bad relationship. Its like that jerk you
wont stop going out with. Youre putting
all your hopes and dreams into this guy
who doesnt know how to nurture you
and give you what you need. You need to
love yourself and understand how you can
give your body what it needs.
Everyone needs a fried-chicken night.
Last night was mine. Its sooo good. I knew
I was eating one piece too many, but
eating fried chicken was for comfort at
that moment. Im not going to beat
myself up about it. I thought, What do I
want to please here, my stomach or my
mouth? It was my mouth! And I can do
that once in a while, because I know the
equation for good health. Ill be careful to
make different choices the next day that
will put everything back in balance.
The quietest voice in your head
is the one you should be
listening to. Most of us listen
to the voice in our head thats
screaming the loudest, the one
that works from fear and is afraid
of failure or of change. The voice
that speaks the truth is the
one that speaks the softest.
Pay attention to your gut,
because your body is
telling you whether or not
something is a good idea.
The actress shares what shes learned about
listening to your inner voiceand enjoying a
fried drumstick now and then.

friend, goofy
smile and all.
Discipline isnt a dirty word. People are
scared of discipline because they associate
it with deprivation: I have to cut things
out and do things I dont want to do! But
discipline actually helps you do all the
things you want to do. Even if I dont get
up early to go to the gym, Ill make the
commitment that today, Ill put some
energy out there. Ill eat the big meal and
then go for a walk. You dont have to go to
the gym if that doesnt work for you.
Its never too late to start making good
choices. My thought is, life is longif Im
lucky. What do I want the next 30 years to
look like? If I want to be surfing or taking
a walk around New York, I
have to live the best I can right
now. Your body wants to be
strong and wants to thrive, and
as soon as you start taking care
of it, it will reward you with a
feeling youve never had
before. When youre engaged
with your body, you engage
in life, and everything
around you changes for
the better. The people you
love start to thrive, too! C

56 DR. OZ THE GOOD LIFE MAY ^ JUNE 2014
Whole Milk Is Back on the Menu
To help fight childhood obesity, pediatricians have long recommended low-fat or fat-free milk for
kids over age 2. But ruling out whole milk may actually have the opposite effect: Preschoolers
who drank skim or 1% were 57% more likely to become overweight in a two-year period than
those who consumed 2% or whole, found a recent University of Virginia study. Higher-fat milk
induces a feeling of fullness, so children may eat less
overall, consuming fewer calories in the long run, says
one of the studys authors, Mark DeBoer, M.D., an
associate professor of pediatric endocrinology at UVA.
For growing kids, the fat in milk provides fuel,
enhances vitamin absorption, and boosts brain
development. All varieties of milk, from skim
to whole, contain similar amounts of protein,
vitamin D, and calcium, says pediatrician
Khanh-Van Le-Bucklin, M.D., of the University
of California at Irvine. As long as their weight
is healthy, you can let them drink the milk of their
choice. That goes for the whole family.
Video games win!
Playing on an Xbox can teach your kids a lot
more than how to zap aliens or slingshot
birds. Says Dr. Oz: The younger surgeons I
work with are often more comfortable using
their fingers to manipulate the equipment in
laparoscopic procedureswhich use tiny
remote camerasbecause theyve had so
much practice from video games.
Besides enhancing hand-eye coordination,
games can also strengthen social skills and
teach persistence, says Cheryl K. Olson,
cofounder of the Harvard Medical School
Center for Mental Health and Media. Kids
have to fail over and over, trying new tactics
until they progress to the next level, she
explains. They learn grit, and also how to
manage frustration. Olsons research has
even found that when boys play at least one
SOAPY SUDS
REPLACE
ANTIBACTERIAL
SCRUBS
Washing hands is still the
best way to avoid passing
around germs, but
theres no evidence that
antibacterial products
are any more eective
than plain soap and water,
especially since illnesses
like the common cold and
stomach u are caused
by viruses, not bacteria.
Plus, research shows
that repeated exposure
to triclosan, an ingredient
in most antibacterial
soaps, may contribute
to antibiotic resistance
and have harmful eects
on thyroid hormones.
The FDA recently
announced that unless
manufacturers provide
beter data about
safety and eectiveness,
soaps and washes
with triclosan must be
relabeled, reformulated,
or taken o the
market by fall 2016.

realistic sports game, they get inspired to try
out those moves in real life.
Talk to your kids about the games theyre
playing, and make sure theyre being
challenged, suggests gaming expert Jane
McGonigal, Ph.D., of the Institute for the
Future. Check out ratings and summaries by
the Entertainment Software Rating Board
(esrb .org) to see whats approporiate for
young children, tweens, and teensand skip
anything rated M for mature, or, for younger
kids, T for teen.
Look for games in which players create
their own characters and worlds, like the
Sims, Zoo Tycoon, or Madden NFL, as well as
those that involve physical activity, like Wii
Fit, suggests Olson. Then set limits that work
for your family: For most kids, one hour
a day is the right balance, says McGonigal.

USE YOUR NOSE
If you step in and hit a wave of fumes, the
salons not well ventilated, says celebrity
manicurist Deborah Lippmann. Look for
stations with rotating fans built into the
manicure tables or exhaust fans in the
ceiling above stations or near work spaces.
CHECK THE SERVICE STATIONS
A safe setup should include disposable
paper towels and unused nail files and
buffers, says New York City manicurist
Ana Maria Gheorghiu, as well as clean
glass bowls for soaking. Plastic ones can
get tiny scratches where bacteria can
thrive, Gheorghiu adds. Cuticle softener
and oil should be in dropper bottles
containers with brushes can spread germs.
ASK ABOUT SANITATION
Stashing nippers, pushers, and clippers in
an autoclavea machine that uses steam
to cleandoesnt automatically wipe away
all germs. Instead, the salon should sanitize
tools using EPA-registered hospital disin-
fectant. That goes for pedicure whirlpools,
too, which should be cleaned for 10
minutes between clients. And book the first
pedi of the day. Its when whirlpools are
likely to be at their cleanest.
HIT THE BATHROOMS
The state of this area gives you a good
sense of the salons overall cleanliness.
Also, check out the bases of the pedicure
chairs and inside the technicians drawer (if
its dusty, its likely not cleaned regularly).
Raise your hand if painting on
a quick coat of bright new
polish makes you just a little bit
happier. Taking care of your nails
is one of the easiest ways to feel more
confident and pulled together, says
Joshua Zeichner, M.D., director of
cosmetic and clinical research in the
department of dermatology at Mount
Sinai Hospital in New York City. And
nail problems arent just a cosmetic issue;
they can be a sign of underlying health
problems, too. Now that youve put
away the winter gloves and toe-hiding
boots, use this guide to keep your
paws looking close to perfect.
SCOPE OUT YOUR NAIL SALON
1. NAIL PLATE
What we call the fingernail is
several layers of a translucent
protein called keratin. Healthy
nails are pink to white in color,
Zeichner says. Vertical or
horizontal ridges may be the
result of dryness, infection,
trauma, or simply the normal
aging process. Beneath the nail
is the matrix, a special area
of skin cells responsible for
creating the hard part of your
nail, explains Zeichner.
2. HALF-MOON
The length of this white section
at the base of your nailcalled
the lunulatypically correlates
with the strength and thickness
of your nails. If its prominent,
you likely have sturdy tips. No
lunula in sight? No worriesit
doesnt necessarily mean your
nails are soft; your half-moon
could just be tucked under the
cuticle (see below).
3. CUTICLE
This is the protective sliver of
skin along the bottom of your
nail. Any breaks in the cuticles
can allow bacteria, viruses,
and fungi to enter, so dont cut
them, Zeichner says. (Pushing
them back during a mani wont
usually break them.)

Soften cuticles in a water bath
for five minutesbut no more,
says Rose. Too much water may
cause the nail to swell, which
means your dry polish will chip
when the nail contracts again.
Soak a cotton pad in polish
remover and let it sit on the nail
for a few seconds. This will allow
you to sweep away old polish
in one quick motionno harsh
scrubbing necessary.
Use a drop or two of cuticle oil
to further soften any stubborn
skin. Then, gently push back
cuticles with a wooden manicure
stick and buff away excess bits
with a buffing block.
Using a fine-grit file, shape nails
so they mirror the arc of your
cuticle. Be sure to file in one
direction to reduce your risk of
splitting, says Illamasqua nail
expert Fleury Rose.
Apply a base coat and two coats
of polish, allowing each to dry
before adding the next. Finish
with a top coat, and cap the
polish by swiping a bit along the
edge of nails to prevent chipping.

Theyre glossy and chip-proof,
but salon gel manicures do have
downsides. The removal process
involves scraping with a metal tool and
can thin nails by 50%, says Anne
Chapas, M.D., a dermatologist in New
York City. Plus, the UV light that
hardens the polish may cause dark
spots and wrinkles. Some alternatives:

I have adult acne, and the
medication I use makes my skin
dry and irritated. What can I do?
CHRISTINE PAGLIUCA, 58, BOSTON
A.
This is common, since adult
acne tends to be concentrated
around the neck and jawline,
where skin is thin and has
fewer oil glands, says New York
City dermatologist Hilary
Baldwin, M.D. Try her quick trick:
Apply a light moisturizer to your
skin before you smooth on
the acne product. The medica-
tion still penetrates, but the
lotion creates a thin barrier that
helps reduce irritation.

No matter what youd like to keep under

Concealer Circle in Neutralizer ($29,

On your next trip to the drugstore, be
sure to make a pit stop in the sunscreen
aisle. Using SPF daily is the most important
thing you can do for your skin. In fact,
men and women who religiously slather it
on are significantly less likely to experience
wrinkling and age spots than those who
only use sunscreen sporadically. Thats
no surprise, since exposure to ultraviolet
rays (both UVA and UVB) has been shown
to break down the proteins collagen and
elastin, which plump your skin and make
it more springy. Plus, the sun revs up your
bodys production of the pigment melanin,
which can cause discoloration, explains
dermatologist Mona Gohara, M.D.,of the
Yale School of Medicine. Protect yourself
with these expert tips.

Sunscreen
Step-by-Step
1. LOOK FOR THE
TWO KEY INGREDIENTS
Zinc oxide and avobenzone
are the only ones proven
to filter out UVA rays, says
dermatologist Frank Wang,
M.D., of the University of
Michigan, Ann Arbor.
3. GET GOOD COVERAGE
Heading to the beach? Use a
dollop of sunscreen the size of
a golf ball, says Gohara. If you
have a spray, hold it an inch or
two away from your skin and
spritz each spot for one to two
seconds (the area should look
damp). Reapply every two hours.
2. APPLY EARLY
Chemical sunscreens like
avobenzone and oxybenzone
need 30 minutes to be absorbed
before they can do their job.
Your skin takes a beating
from ultraviolet rays even
when its cloudy, youre
inside near a window, or
youre driving (glass doesnt
generally filter out UVA
light, which is linked to
wrinkles and spots). Some
more protection pointers:

FAQs
IS A HIGHER SPF WORTH IT?
Most derms say SPF 30 is
sufficient, but one study
found that using SPF 70 or
higher may compensate if you
skimp on the sunscreen or
forget to reapply.
ARE MINERAL
SUNSCREENS GENTLER?
Mineral blockers such as zinc
oxide and titanium dioxide
do tend to be less irritating
on sensitive skin. Bonus:
They start working the very
moment you put them on.
IS IT EVER OK TO USE
EXPIRED SUNSCREEN?
A product starts degrading
after the expiration date,
so dont bank on getting the
level of protection on the
bottle. But its better than
nothing, notes Gohara. if the
color, texture, or scent seems
off or if its a year past the
expiration date, toss it.
5 WAYS TO KEEP YOUR BODY YOUNG BY RICHARD LALIBERTE
TIP
Age-related sun
damage happens
fast: Just two
hours outside is
enough to stimulate
the enzymes
that break
down collagen.
Fend off stress. It ups your risk of
developing problems like heart attacks,
stroke, and cancer that take years off
your life. Proven stress-busters include
meditation and deep breathing.
Minimize bone loss. Weight-bearing
exercises such as walking, running, and
lifting weights shore up bones that
naturally become weaker over the years.
Feed your immune system. Fruits
and veggies (citrus, bell peppers) plus
beans and lentils are good sources of
vitamins A and C, iron, and zincall of
which help you fight off infections, heal
injuries, and recover from surgeries.
Give your DNA some TLC. Snippets
of DNA called telomeres that cap
the ends of your chromosomes get
shorter with age. One study found
that eating a low-fat, plant-based diet,
walking regularly, and reducing stress
boosted the activity of an enzyme that
counteracts telomere shortening.
Track your sleep. Getting the right
amount of zs restores the body
and may reduce your risk of obesity and
related conditions that age you.
People with fair
complexions
have less
pigment in their
skin, so they
tend to burn
faster.

About Collagen
Believe it or not, collagen
isnt found just in your
skin; it also calls your
bones and muscles home,
and 28 different types
have been identified. The
most common forms in your
skin are types I and III. Both
are important, but type III,
the stronger, more resilient
one, is more prevalent in
younger people. Thats
why a plethora of collagen-
containing products are
now available, some claiming
to target the production
of collagen III to rejuvenate
your complexion. At the
very least, theyll leave
your skin supple and
moisturized, says
dermatologist Day. One
way to boost collagen
production is by feasting on
foods like lentils, fish, dairy,
gelatin, cabbage, and soy
(which, combined, are rich in
the amino acids threonine
and proline), explains
dermatologist Gilbert.
Its an essential building
block of a healthy, youthful-
looking complexion. How
familiar are you with this
plumping protein?
Getting too sweet
Long-term consumption
of fructose (a type of
sugar) is associated with
lower levels of collagen,
shows research in the
Journal of Nutrition.
Frowning If you make
that face for too long
it really will stay that
way. Grimacing often
increases wrinkling, says
Fredric Brandt, M.D., a
cosmetic dermatologist
in New York City.
Drinking through a

constant sipping can
cause a puckering of
the lips that promotes
fine lines around the
mouth, notes New York
City dermatologist Ellen
Marmur, M.D.

The idea that properly
applied blush, foundation,
and lipstick can make
your skin appear youthful
isnt just common
senseits been proven
by science. Researchers
at Gettysburg College in
Pennsylvania found that
as the years go by, we
lose contrast between
our features and the
surrounding skin (our lips,
eyes, and brows get lighter;
our skin becomes darker).
Follow-up research found
that when scientists re-
created these contrasts
digitally (as you would
with makeup), subjects
were perceived as
younger-looking. These
pro tips can help you bring
out your best.
Plump and
Lift Cheeks
We lose fat in our cheeks
over time, causing them to
sag, and our cheekbones
which act like scaffolding
in our faceactually get
smaller as we age, says New
York City dermatologist
Ellen Marmur, M.D., of Mount
Sinais school of medicine.
The makeup fix: Dab cream
blush onto the tops of the
apples of your cheeks to help
them appear fuller, suggests
Kate Watson, makeup artist
for Too Faced Cosmetics.
Continue up toward your
temples, stopping where
your eyebrows end, which
visually lifts your entire face.
Open Up
Your Eyes
Curl lashes at the base,
middle, and tip, holding for
three seconds at each spot,
recommends New York City
makeup artist Stephanie
Flor. Then apply two coats of
waterproof black mascara,
and finish by running brown
eyeliner (its not as harsh as
black) across your top lash
line. On your bottom lash
line, begin at the outer edge
and line inward, stopping
at your pupil. Use a brush
to smudge the liner on the
outer corners of your top
and bottom lashesthis

Hair doesnt wrinkleand it doesnt start forgetting things or telling the

of a handful of shifts that happen over time. After age 40, there may be big

COARSENESS Your hair feels
silky when the scales that form
a protective shell around each
strand, called the cuticle, are
lying flat like shingles, says
Alan Bauman, M.D., of Bauman
Medical Group in Boca Raton,
FL. Over time, those scales can
become thinner, misshapen, or
raised. Using a gentle sulfate-
free shampoo and keratin
conditioner may help.
BRITTLENESS As the cuticle
thins, hair becomes more
prone to breakage. Wet hair
is most vulnerable, so de-
tangle conditioner-drenched
strands with a comb in the
shower. Microfiber towels like
DevaCurl Deva Towel ($12,

BLUE JEANS
The iconic denim pants you love to kick back in
were born when Levi Strauss received a patent
for reinforcing trousers with rivets in 1873, but
the material that jeans are made of was inspired
by a fabric first created in France, probably
during the Middle Ages. Defined by a twill
weave, often using indigo and white yarns, it was
originally called serge de Nmes (hence the name
denim), after the city where it was woven. The
indigo attaches to the cloths threads, and when
the dyes molecules are removed in the wash, they
take bits of the threads with them, eventually
giving jeans their soft feel and worn-in look.
THE FACEBOOK LOGO
More than a billion users see the sites distinctive
logowhite type against a blue backdropwhen
they log on. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg
chose blue because he has trouble distinguishing
between red and green, a condition mostly found
in males (8% suffer from it). Blue is the richest
color for me, he said in 2010. I can see all of blue.
BLUE M&Ms
More proof that blue is the most popular color:
In 1995, Americans were asked to vote for a
replacement for drab tan M&Ms. Their choices:
blue, pink, or purple. When blue won the contest,
the story was featured on network news
and late-night talk showsNew York Citys
Empire State Building was even lit up in blue to
celebrate the new shade.
Why Are

Free Your Mind
When youre trying to come up with
new ideas, blue helps, says Ravi
Mehta, Ph.D., an assistant professor
at the University of Illinois at Urbana-
Champaign. In a 2009 study coauthored
by Mehta, people who worked against
blue backgrounds scored better on
tests that required imagination and
inventiveness. (Study subjects who
worked against red backgrounds
excelled at more detailed work.)
Unconsciously, we associate blue with
freedom and openness, says Mehta,
which can lead to more creativity.

Blueberries are low in calories, high in
vitamin C, and an antioxidant powerhouse in the fruit and
vegetable kingdom. Research shows two more benefits:
They can help keep your brain young. Eating one to two
cups of blueberries daily can prevent, even reverse, some of
the negative changes in aging brains. The compounds in
blueberries seem to boost our brains ability to make more
neurons, cells that send information, says Barbara
Shukitt-Hale, Ph.D., a USDA research psychologist.
They strengthen the female heart. One and a half cups
per week may slash a womans risk of heart attack
by as much as 34%, according to a study in
Circulation, the journal of the American
Heart Association.

INTIMACY Darker shades,
such as cobalt, absorb light and
make a room feel cozy, says
interior designer Jamie Drake,
known for his use of bold colors
(including on the walls in the photo
above). When choosing paint in
these intense hues, look for a finish
with a bit of shine, like lacquer or
eggshell. The glow will help your
room seem bigger, notes Drake.

The 10-Second
y swim teacher was one of the
toughest in my high school. She was also, in the end, the
best coach I ever had. We had to swim the entire length of
the pool in an impossibly few number of breaths. It felt
like a class in suffocation, not swimminguntil one day,
suddenly, I was gliding through the water like a fish, filled
with a sense of grace that transformed not only my sense
of my body but also my whole outlook on high school.
In the pool, fewer breaths led to more efficiency, focus,
and calm. Paying closer attention to your breathing can
help on dry land, too, especially since many of us spend
our days breathing too quickly and too shallowly. The
good news is that it takes only a few simple steps to start
breathing more effectively and gain a host of benefits.
There is a tremendous connection between respiration
and our emotions, says Ralph Potkin, M.D., a pulmonary
specialist who helped illusionist David Blaine break the
world record for breath holding (17 minutes and four
seconds) in 2008. Breathing properly can help you relax,
sleep, feel more positive, and reduce depression.
Better breathing can also help you lower blood pressure,
improve heart health, fight chronic disease, ease stress
and even slow the aging process, according to recent
studies from Harvard Medical School, Columbia
University, Duke University, and UCLA. (See What
Breathing Can Do for You, page 84.) The bottom line:
Breathing slowly and deeply is one of the simplest, most
effective ways to boost your mental and physical health,
and you can tap its stress-busting, mood-lifting benefits
anytime, anywhere, at any age.
You do it reflexively, thousands of
times every day. But when you take
a moment to focus on it, just breathing
can transform the way you feel.
BY EVE CONANT
How to Get Started
Standor situp straight.
Poor posture is the biggest cause of ineffective breathing
in most people, says Loren Fishman, M.D., medical
director of Manhattan Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation
in New York City. Office desk chairs are often the
culprits, he says, since their backs tend to slope forward,
which means its hard to keep your spine straight. The
important thing is to be as vertical as possible, which
helps you use your lungs more efficiently, says Potkin.
When sitting, keep your feet on the floor and relax your
shoulders. When standing, keep your weight primarily
on the balls of your feet, keep your shoulders pulled back,
and tuck your stomach in.

Breathe deeply from your belly.
The diaphragm, the muscle at the bottom of your rib
cage, should be the piston driving your breath, says
Bohdan Pichurko, M.D., a pulmonologist and director of
Cleveland Clinics Pulmonary Function Testing
Laboratories. The other muscles we use in breathing
on the neck and shoulders and between the ribstire
quickly and dont deliver air as effectively to the base of
the lungs, where its best absorbed. As a result, you
experience puppy-dog breathingshort, rapid, shallow

breaths leading to fatigue, anxiety, and panic. To avoid
this, it helps to inhale and exhale through your nose,
which also forces you to slow your breathing.
If youre not sure how to breathe from your diaphragm,
try this exercise that Pichurko uses with his patients:
Seated or standing, place your hand on your belly button
and watch it as you breathe. Your hand should be pushed
out by your abdomen as you inhale if youre breathing
correctly. If your hand remains still, youre breathing too
high up in your chest. Gently pressing your hand on your
belly will help you ensure that your breathing is coming
from the diaphragm. It will feel artificial initially, but to
make it easier you can do it while lying on your back at
first, Pichurko says. Once you feel comfortable with this
exercise, you can even do it while walking or performing
some light task. Its a great way of retraining your body until
you can breathe properly without the hand for guidance.
Breathing for Your Health
Most of us breathe between eight and 16 times a minute,
which is a perfectly healthy pace. But slow breathing
exercises, even a few times a week, can bring major health
and psychological benefits. Six breaths a minute may be
the best rate for relaxation, says Frederick Muench, Ph.D.,
an assistant professor of psychology at Columbia
University Medical Center. Thats one inhale and exhale
about every 10 seconds, which puts you in an ideal state:
calm but still alert.
Heres how to get there:

Breathe deeply and

slowly for 15 to 20 minutes
You should aim for six breaths a minute, but any pace
thats slower than your usual breathing will yield
benefits, Muench says. Though it helps if youre in a quiet
place without distractions, you can do this when youre
sitting on a plane, in the middle of a crazy workday, or
while walking the dog. Again, the first few times you try
this exercise, consider lying on the floor, making sure that
your belly is free to rise and fall without being cramped
by clothing or poor posture.
Repeat this exercise three or
more times a week
The more often you set aside 15 to 20 minutes to breathe
slowly and deeply, the more youll benefit, and the easier
the practice will become.
Think you dont have time? Even a minute or two of
slower, deeper breathing can relieve stress, and you can
do it anywhere. Especially if you have a high-pressure,
anxiety-filled event coming up (a presentation at work,
a loaded conversation with your daughter, or even a
physically challenging task), start focusing on your
breathing before it happensdont wait for the stress-
inducing situation to arrive.
The Deeper Benefits of Breathing
Turns out this concentration on slower, more effective
breathing is the crucial common denominator in a wide
variety of groundbreaking studies on how people achieve
physical, mental, even spiritual well-being. Here, more
proven benefits.
Reduce anxiety
Deep breathing and meditation can help fight stress-
related disorders like anxiety, depression, heart attacks,
strokes, irritable bowel syndrome, infertility, and
insomniato name just a few, says cardiologist Herbert
Benson, M.D., Mind Body Professor of Medicine at
Harvard Medical School. Multiple studies at major
universities have documented the benefits of breathing
and other relaxation techniques for problems ranging
from adolescent angst to shell shock. Survivors of 9/11
and the 2004 tsunami in Asia, for instance, have been
treated for anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder
using breathing techniques.
Find focus
Both rosary prayers and yoga mantras were found to
have striking and powerful positive effects on heart
rhythms and blood pressure, because these practices
slow breathing to about six times per minute, according
to research published in the British Medical Journal. In
fact, slow breathing techniques are used in essentially
every spiritual tradition to achieve deeper states of prayer,
meditation, and contemplation, says Al Lee, co-author
of the book Perfect Breathing.
Fight pain
When women with fibromyalgia breathed at half their
normal rate, their stress and pain lifted, according to
a 2010 study published in the journal Pain. And elderly
people with chronic lower-back pain benefited from
mindfulness meditation, which includes exercises that

focus attention on breathing. The result, according to a
2008 study in the Journal of Pain : less discomfort and
improved attention, sleep, well-being, and quality of life.
Prevent disease
Relaxation boosts genes that control inflammation,
strengthen the immune system, and prevent diabetes,
according to Bensons 2008 and 2013 studies published in
the journal PLoS One.
COUNT YOUR

Try this exercise for 10
continuous minutes.
Boost your workout
Mountain climbers have used deep breathing to prevent
altitude sickness, which occurs when you cant get
enough oxygen. Slowing the breathand your
heart ratehelps oxygen work more efficiently,
saturating your cells like water seeping into a sponge.

know hes not the only one who appreciates the bliss

5 Ways to Try
Deep Breathing
Close your eyes, pinch your nose, pucker up. Explore your
inhale/exhale with these fresh, surprising techniques.
ALTERNATE
NOSTRILS
In Nadi Shodhana, a
yogic practice from
India, you press your
right thumb gently
against your right
nostril, then breathe
in through your left
nostril. Release the
thumb, close your left
nostril with your right
ring finger, then breathe
out through your right
nostril. Repeat this
process, inhaling on
one side, switching
your finger placement,
and exhaling through
the other side as you
alternate nostrils. Try
this 3 to 5 times for a
calming effect.
PURSE
YOUR LIPS
Using your diaphragm,
breathe in through your
mouth, then pucker up,
as if about to kiss, and
expel the oxygen from
your lungs through a
pinhole opening in your
lips, says Ed Viesturs,
a mountaineer who has
climbed Mt. Everest
seven times. Viesturs
used slow breathing
techniques to preserve
oxygen in the thin
air. This delays airs
release, giving your
body more time to
absorb oxygen, he
says. When facing an
obstaclewhether its
a mountain peak or a
long set of stairsstart
deep breathing before
you reach it.
BEND AND
BREATHE
Try this exercise from
Nancy Zi, author of The
Art of Breathing and a
practitioner of qigong,
a Chinese discipline
that blends breathing
techniques with
philosophy, martial
arts, and meditation.
Bend forward from
the waist as far as
you comfortably can,
place your hands on
your lower back, and
inhale. Think of the
circumference of your
abdomen as a blossom
opening and closing
with each breath, says
Zi. Let your tongue
loosen toward your
upper front teeth, to
relax your respiratory
muscles.
DOUBLE YOUR
EXHALE TIME
Close your eyes and
breathe in to a count
of 2 through your
nose, then exhale
through your nose
to a count of 4, says
rehabilitation specialist
Loren Fishman, M.D.
Do that 3 times, rest,
then do it again. Sit or
stand up straight for
this experience, so that
your ears, shoulders,
hips, and ankles are
aligned. After youve
tried this relaxing
technique a few times,
stop counting and
continue the practice
for as long as you like.

The Real Power of
LUCKY
CHARMS
Theres a reason people have believed in
talismansfrom ancient scarabs to fuzzy rabbits
feetfor thousands of years. They may actually
train your brain to create your own good luck.
When you repeat an action over time, like jingling
a lucky coin, it changes the activity of habit-
related neurons, says Ann M. Graybiel, Ph.D., a
neuroscientist at MIT. The repetitions can light up
the brain region associated with pleasure, which
might make you calmer and primed to do your best
at whatever lies ahead. Check out these quirky
totems and let them inspire you to discover your

Root for an onscreen underdog
and feel hopeful for days
Katniss versus the Capitol. Rocky versus Apollo Creed. Its
no surprise that seeing the little guy (or gal) come out on
top can make you feel good. Need proof? Just watch
Working Girl again. But the boost of optimism you get isnt
fleetingit can linger as long as three days after youve
watched the underdog triumph, according to research
from the University of California, Santa Barbara. And that
feeling made the studys participants more hopeful and
more motivated toward pursuing their own goals
compared to those who watched a nature show or comedy.
Try The Pursuit of Happyness (used in the study), Seabiscuit,
The Full Monty, or Jerry Maguireor root for your favorite
contestant on The Voice, where everybodys an underdog.
Kick back with a laugh-out-loud
comedy to lower your stress
Bridesmaids may have you on the floor laughing, but it
also gives your body a heart-healthy jolt. People who
laughed at clips from comedies like Theres Something
About Mary in a small University of Maryland Medical
Center study experienced a decrease in stressthe kind
that can set off a domino effect. The chain reaction begins
when your brain releases endorphins, which cause the
muscles lining your blood vessels to expand, making it
easier for your heart to pump blood to the rest of your
body. Lighten your day and tune up your ticker with
one of Meyerss favorites, the 1960 Oscar winner The
Apartment, or kick back with reliably funny girls in Pitch
Perfect, Baby Mama, The Heat, or Miss Congeniality.
Turn on a tearjerker to feel
closer to people you love
Dont shy away from a drama because youre worried itll
be a downer on a Saturday night. Sure, you might shed
some tears during Titanic or Terms of Endearment, but
feeling heartbroken or even mourning a characters death
can leave you seeing your lifeand the people in itin a
better light. In an Ohio State University study, men and
women who watched the tragic love story Atonement
reported feeling more positive about their connections.
Because of the way tragedies focus on close relationships
and eternal love, people who watched them tended to

more deeply how others are feeling. Its the perfect
excuse to become engrossed in one of Hoods recent
favorites, Alice Hoffmans The Museum of Extraordinary

The Invention of Wings, or Life of Pi.
Watch TV for an energy boost
If youre trying to motivate yourself to finish the days
household chores, plopping down in front of Sex and the
City reruns may seem like the last thing you should do.
But unwinding with characters you love could be just
what you need to gear up. Close relationships help you
achieve your goals, and positive interactions with friends
can be energizing, says researcher Jaye L. Derrick, Ph.D.,

connections to TV characters you enjoy seeing can also
boost you. So catch up with your old friends on Friends,

RAW KALE SALAD
Remove the stems, then stack
and roll up leaves like a cigar.
Cut into strips to make ribbons.
Toss with toasted almonds,
grated parmesan, and lemon
vinaigrette. Or add ribbons to a
green salad.
STEALTH KALE
Keep a stash of kale in your
crisper so that you can
quickly chop it and add it to
a host of different dishes. Try
sneaking kale into soups and
pastas, or saut it in a little
olive oil and stir into mashed
potatoes.
Whats one serving of greens?
If youre wondering how much to chop, adults
should get 2 to 3 cups of veggies every day, according to
the USDA. But leafy greens, like the kale here, are a
special case. Because they shrink down when they cook,
a serving (a cup) is considered either 2 cups raw or
1 cup cooked. Its easy to get more greens into your day
with the quick kale recipes below.
KALE SCRAMBLED EGGS
Saut a handful of thinly sliced
kale leaves in a little olive oil
over medium heat for about
5 minutes, until wilted. Add
beaten eggs (and maybe some
cheese) to the pan to make
scrambled eggs.
KALE CHIPS
Tear the leaves from 1 small
bunch of kale, lightly coat with
olive oil, and sprinkle with sea
salt and any spices you like,
such as chipotle powder. Roast
at 300F on a baking sheet
for 15 minutes or until crispy,
stirring once or twice.

Activia helps regulate the digestive system when consumed daily for two weeks as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.

Berry Indulgent
This showstopping dessert, known as a pavlova, is made with light-as-air
meringue, fresh whipped cream, and piles of antioxidant-rich berries.
It keeps sugar to a minimum and gets a protein boost from Greek yogurt.
PREP TIME: 30 minutes
COOK TIME: 1 to 3 hours
3 large egg whites
1 tsp white vinegar
cup plus 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp cornstarch
1 lb strawberries, quartered
6 oz container of raspberries
Splash of liqueur (like kirsch), optional
cup heavy cream
cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
Heat oven to 300F. Place egg whites,
vinegar, and cup sugar in a heatproof
bowl. Set over a pan of simmering water.
Whisk to dissolve sugar, 2 to 3 minutes.
Transfer to a stand mixer. Beat with
whisk attachment on high until stiff
peaks form, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in vanilla.
Add cornstarch; beat briefly to combine.
Lower oven to 225F. Trace a 9-inch
circle on a sheet of parchment paper.
Flip paper over and place on a baking
sheet. Spread the meringue to fill
circle; form a slight well in the center.
Bake 1 to 2 hours, until crispy
(interior will be soft). If meringue
begins to brown, lower oven to 200F.
Turn off oven and leave meringue
inside until oven cools and meringue
is just firm enough to peel off
parchment, 30 minutes to an hour.
Combine berries, 1 Tbsp sugar, and
liqueur, if using. Let sit until juicy and
sugar dissolves, 10 minutes to 1 hour.
Whip cream until soft peaks form. Stir
yogurt until smooth; fold into cream.
Spread onto meringue, leaving a 1-inch
border. Pile fruit on top.
Serve within 1 hour; cut into 10 wedges
with a pie server or a serrated knife.
DR. OZ TIP:
Dessert is part of the
good life! And the first bite
is the best of all, so
enjoyjust dont cross the
line into hedonism. If you
cut this pavlova into 10 slices,
each has only 144 cal,

added sugar.

Pit stop: What
to order at
Panera Bread
If you have to make a food-plaza
stop, Panera (yes, thats right, the
bread place) can be a smart choice. Just
dont load up on too many processed carbs. I
recommend the half Napa Almond Chicken
Salad Sandwich with a half Classic Salad
combo. Youll get lots of veggies and protein,
and the meal comes in at under 450 calories.
Guilt-free nibbles
SeaSnax are an Oz
family favorite. One
whole pack of these
lightly salted seaweed
snacks has 16 calories
and is a good source of
iodine. Another savory
snack option: beef
jerky. Its lower in carbs
and higher in protein
than potato chips.

My top go-to
snack: nuts!
I always have a bag of
walnuts or almonds close
at hand. I could go on for pages
about their health benefits,
but one recent study sums
them up in a nutshell:
People who snack on nuts
every day have a reduced
risk of dying from chronic
illnesses like cancer and
heart disease.
Stay alert with

Chewing a piece of gum

kids how to
cooperate.
Summers just around the corner, and you dont need to plan
a pricey beach vacationor even pull out of your drivewayto make
the most of this sunny season. These fresh outdoor ideas dont take
much more than a few friends and neighbors, and a nice patch of grass.
Some families have barbecues. Dr. Ozs clan likes to plot out their
version of the Olympic Gamesa series of fun physical challenges
designed to keep everyone active. The key to a successful Oz
Olympics is ensuring that everybody feels like a gold medalist, so
try to include a mix of contests that play to different strengths
and abilities. Inspired by the Oz tradition, Sadie Lincoln, founder
of the posture-based workout Barre3,
created the lineup of events here.
Host Your Own Oz Olympics
Pick a simple battle of strength (arm wrestling,
a thumb war) and a song to belt out while competing.
The person who pins his or her opponentwhile
singing on key without bumbling the lyricstakes the
prize. Focus and memory count here, so the stronger
contestant may not always come out on top.
A Tree
in the Wind
SOOTHING LAVENDER
TONER
Mix cup filtered water, cup
freshly brewed and cooled green
tea, 1 Tbsp lavender flowers, 23
drops lavender essential oil, and
35 drops vegetable glycerin
(available at most grocery stores)
in a spray bottle. Mist yourself
whenever you need refreshment;
store in your refrigerator.
Relax With a
Garden Spa Day
Dont save your whole harvest
for the kitchen. Set aside
some garden goodies for DIY
spa treatments to enjoy with
friends. L.A. dermatologist
Jessica Wu offers up her
favorite recipes (each takes 10
minutes, tops, to whip up).
PEPPERMINT FOOT
SCRUB
Mix 1 cup coarse sea salt, 5 Tbsp
cocoa powder, cup minced
fresh mint, and 3 drops of
peppermint essential oil in a bowl.
Soak your feet for 10 minutes to
soften dead skin. Rub the scrub in
a circular motion over your feet,
concentrating on heels, ankles, or
anywhere you have calluses.
CARROT EYE-FIRMING
MASK
Whisk 2 egg whites and 1 Tbsp
peeled and finely shredded carrots
(use a very small grater) together
until frothy. Lie down and apply
the mask around and under your
eyes; let dry for 2030 minutes.
Remove with a cool, damp towel.
Carrots contain beta-carotene,
a nutrient thats converted into
retinola wrinkle softenerwhen
placed on the skin, Wu explains.
THE EVENT PLAY BY THE RULES
Stand on your right foot and rest the sole of your left
foot on your inner thigh, fanning your knee out to
the side. Hold the pose for as long as you can; repeat
on the other leg. Its a test of balancewhoever
holds their tree longest wins.
With your feet wider apart than your hips and your
toes pointing to 11 and 1 oclock, lower yourself into
a squat, then jump up and forward. Keep squatting
and jumping across the lawn; most people can jump
about 2 feet at a time. The first to reach the finish
lineposition it 20 to 30 feet from the startwins.
Form two teams and have each member lie down on
his or her back, head to toe, in a long line. Pass a ball
down the line using bookend moves: Sit up and
place the ball between your ankles. Your teammate
grabs it from you, sits up, places it between his
ankles, and so on. The team that gets the ball down
the line first nabs the gold.

LOVE, FAMILY, FRIENDS
P eople often ask me if I have advice for a successful
marriage, having been happily married for 22 years.
I used to wonder the same thing when I looked from
afar at my hero, Paul Newman, and observed his union
with Joanne Woodward. They were always Hollywoods
happy example, the exception to the clich of ridiculous
and frivolous showbiz marriages. And while its true that
Newmans love affair is to be admired, I disagree with the
notion that the entertainment business has a lower
success rate at marriage than any other high-stress line of
work. Im sure its just as hard for couples in the military
or for others who spend weeks or months apart in the
company of new personalitiessome of whom can be
quite compelling, charming, and attractive.
The best bet you have for long-term marriage is
obvious: Choose well. Many people dont. They do it
for the great sex, or for the life they hope to achieve
with their partner, or with the belief that the
commitment of marriage will make things simpler
and better. Some do it because they really want to get
married, instead of really wanting to be married. Many
dont know the difference.
I was not looking to get married. If you werent aware of
me in the 1980s, let me just say that I was quite active in
the arena of female companionship. In fact, when I first
met Sherylon a double dateI was still in the thick of
Rob Lowe:
How Marriage
Made Me a
Better Man
After some wild days as one of the biggest
heartthrobs in Hollywoodboth onscreen
and offactor Rob Lowe met his match in
makeup artist Sheryl Berkoff and settled into
one of the happiest, longest-lasting marriages
in showbiz. In an excerpt from his new book,
Love Life, the 50-year-old father of
two shares what hes learned from
his soul mateand his hopes for
the future of their love.

FAMILY ALBUM
From top: Our son
Johnowens 18th birthday;
the boys at the beach
last Christmas; me and
Sheryl in 1990.
being a single, 20-something male movie star maniac.
Even then, she cut through the clutter. I was so used to
everyone having a preconceived notion
of who I was. Sheryl didnt.
Sheryl saw parts of me no one
ever had before. She somehow
knew I longed to be better than I
was, as an actor and as a man. She
emboldened me to do things that I
hadnt dared. To quit drinking. To
get sober. To stop chasing the latest,
hottest girl. I began to grow.
My lucky break
Somehow I had the courage and foresight to ask
her to marry me, and in the most fortunate
moment I will surely ever have, she
said yes. I had come to see that Sheryl
would jump in front of a train for me,
and that I was never likely to find her
mix of passion, beauty, friendship, and
unconditional love in anyone else.
I feel that way still. In sobriety, one
learns that all anyone has is today.
Sheryl demands only progress, not
perfection. She loves me in spite of my
flaws. I also love her for her shortcomings.
When you can love those in each other,
and not be resentful or hope they will
magically disappear, you are approaching
unconditional love.
Its easy to lose track of your love affair
when children come. Its happened to us. Its
hard not to put all your emotional time into
the very embodiment of your shared love. After a long day
at work, it was sometimes easier to hop in bed with the
kids, read Harry Potter, and fall asleep with them than do
the late-night catch-up on the minutiae of running a house,
businesses, and marriage. But kids will be only as happy as
their parents; I have had that concept underlined for me
recently as our boys prepare to move out and Sheryl and I
will once again have each other with nothing to distract us.
Twenty-two years into our marriage, I realize I want to
love Sheryl better. I want to refocus on the one thing that
has made the most positive impact on my life and changed
me beyond my ability to articulate: my love for her.
What Ive learned about love
Sheryl has taught me, through the long parade of days
and nights, through our valleys and all the way up to our
euphoric altitudes, that I am worthy of her love. I want
our next chapter to be deeper. That means digging, which
is hard work. But a recommitment seems important now;
maybe its moving through the two-decade anniversary,
maybe its my age. But whatever the reason, I know I
want it because my original commitment to Sheryl
led to a life of bounty I could never have imagined.
People do ask me how I embraced marriage,
because clearly, I couldve been a great wingman
for George Clooney. Everyone who is married,
who wants to be married, or who has ever been
married is interested in someone elses marriage.
Its how we judge our own relationships, how
we compare our own story. So I
understand why people want to
know what Ive learned, just as I
wondered about Paul Newmans
marriage. And this, simply, is all I
know: Everyones love is different.
And in the end, thats because our
partners are as one-of-a-kind as we are.
I know mine is. She has a huge heart.
She reads slowly. She is a math genius
and often does not find me funny. She
is loyal to the last stand and quick to
defend. She is a mother to all who need it
and to many who dont. She is a
wellspring of creativity and a lover of
bad television. She single-handedly
keeps afloat the company that makes
Swedish Fish. She has created two
companies, had at least three careers,
and raised our sons into world-class young
men. She took a man-child and turned
him into a man. She made me what I am
today. There will never be another like
her, and our love, like everyones, has no
answers and no comparisons.

Sometimes Mom really does know whats
right for you, even when she seems to be making
all the wrong moves. BY SARAH ELIZABETH RICHARDS
If you had ever asked me what my
mom would still be able to teach me in my
forties, Id have guessed it might be how
to handle a moody teenager or poach a
perfect egg. But how to have multiple men
waiting their turn to kiss the ground you
walk on? Mom wouldnt have been my
go-to source for that trick.
It started when she called me with the
news that, at 62, she had separated from
my stepdad after 18 years. Dont worry,
I said. Ill help you meet a new guy on
Match.com. Id been on the site since
breaking up with my longtime boyfriend
a few years earlier and was well prepared
to educate her about dating in the 21st
century. After all, I knew the best clothes
to wear on a date (soft pastel sweaters).
I knew the best body language for
signaling that I was open (lean back, feet
pointing toward him). I knew the perfect
way to encourage a guy whod proposed a
date (I love a man with a plan).
I sent Mom some of my favorite
relationship-skills CDs. I should have
known my advice was falling on deaf ears
when I found them on the floor of her car.
She was listening to songs from Glee
instead. I worried she would get hurt. Her
approach to dating, after all, went like this
She asked men out at
the last minute.
Mom once emailed a guy about a
Saturday-night dateat four oclock that
afternoon! Her reasoning: If we all
had something to do on Saturday night,
we wouldnt be on Match.com.
She opened with her flaws.

She admitted to men who were looking
for fit women that she was a little more
on the squishy side, followed by LOL.
She flirted. Shamelessly.
I actually saw her type: I enjoyed your
profile. So are you a good or a so-so kisser?
Now I was sure shed end up heartbroken.
I braced myself for her first teary phone
call. Instead I got this text: OMG! I have
three guys who want to be my boyfriend!
My mother was generous and authentic,
and men loved her for it. As I watched her
laugh her way through the process, it
dawned on me that I had been so anxious
to follow the rules for finding love that Id
forgotten the most basic one: to be myself.
So I decided to follow her lead: I asked
guys out. I sent them emails with links to
funny stories without worrying about
seeming too eager. With one promising
guy, I even broached the most forbidden
topic of all: how I still wanted kids, and
soon. It didnt scare him offin fact,
weve been dating for over a year.
My mom has invited us to visit her
and her new boyfriend this summer. This
ones a keeper, she says. We are always
laughing. There are no insecurities. No
games. Score one for the single ladies.
And thanks, Mom.
Unexpected

Life Lessons
I Learned From
My Mom
Driving and decisions
My mother taught me to never trust
another cars blinkera lot of people dont
know where theyre going!and to
always keep my wheels straight until the
moment Im ready to turn. Its helped me
think carefully before I make any big move,
not just on the road. Chrissie, 35
MOMS ARE ALSO RIGHT ABOUT...
TOUGH LOVE
(AND VITAMINS)
When I was a kid, my
moms just-deal-with-
it atitude resulted
in a lot of ghting.
MOM: Swallow the
vitamin! ME: But its
gigantic! MOM: Just take
it and dont think about
it. Her horse-pill
approach to life stuck
with me: Forging ahead
through adverse
circumstances became
second nature. That
said, my kids get liquid
vitamins! Ellen, 46
Wedding presents
My mother always told me,
Never buy a couple one of
12 place settings for their
wedding; get the serving dish.
Then theyll think of you every
time they use it. Marisa,

minimum balance to open a CD is $2,000. A penalty may be imposed for early withdrawals. After maturity, if you choose to roll over your CD, you will earn the base rate of interest in
effect at that time.

For High Yield Savings Accounts, rates are variable and subject to change any time after the account is opened without notice. The minimum balance required to earn the advertised
APY and to open a High Yield savings account is $0 but a minimum balance of $50 is required to avoid a $5 monthly service charge.

Now that the weathers warming
up, keep your cool with these
organizing, time-saving, and
cost-cutting tricks.
7 Smart Ideas to
Make Life
Easier
1
Save at the
gas station
Instead of topping of your tank
on weekdays, time fll-ups for
the weekend. In a study of all
50 states, GasBuddy.com found
that the cheapest days to buy
gas are usually Friday, Satur-
day, and Sunday; Tuesday and
Wednesday generally rang in as
the priciest. Download the free
GasBuddy app to locate the
least expensive pumps near you.

2
Find travel reviews
you can trust
If reading online reviews makes
travel planning more confusing,
heres why: A recent investigation
found that many businesses pay
writers to post fake raves. Stick
to sites such as Expedia and
OpenTable, says Travel Channels
Samantha Brown. These sites ac-
cept reviews only from custom-
ers whove booked a room or
table through the site, showing
theyve actually been there.

3
Cut schoolwork
cluter
When your kids bring home a
years worth of reports and art
projects in June, control the
chaos by downloading the free
app Artkive (for iPhone and
Android). Snap and tag photos
of their creations for digital
storage, then surprise the
grandparents by turning the
album into a hardcover book,
suggests Donna Smallin
Kuper, author of Secrets of
Professional Organizers.

Each pouch provides 3/4 cup fruit juice, which
is 1 1/2 servings of fruit according to the U.S.
Dietary Guidelines. As part of a well-balanced
diet, eat a variety of fruits every day and be sure
to make most of your fruits whole fruit.

Consume a variety of beverages every day.

Each pouch provides 1/2 cup fruit and vegetable
juice, which is one combined serving of fruits and
vegetables according to the U.S. Dietary Guide-
lines (3/4 from fruit juice and 1/4 from vegetable
juice). Be sure to make most of your fruits and
vegetables whole fruits and vegetables.

6
Make real memories
of your vacation
Your trip to Mount Rushmore practi-
cally begs for its own Facebook pho-
to album. But to really connect with
any sight worth seeing, take just
one or two shots, then stash your
camera in your bag. Youll be more
likely to recall what youve seen,
including small details, when you
allow yourself to soak up the beauty
without relying on the lens to do it
all for you, according to researchers
at Fairfeld University.

7
Restore that
new-car smell
Two pantry staples are your secret
weapons for sprucing up your ride.
To neutralize food and dog smells,
spread baking soda on fabric, let
it sit for at least 15 minutes, then
vacuum it up, advises Laura West-
dale, author of 501 Amazing Uses
for Salt, Vinegar, Baking Soda, Olive
Oil & Lemons. Make windshields
sparkle by wiping them with a mix
of cup white vinegar and cup
warm water. Madeline Buxton

4
To soothe your
anxiety, share it
Before meeting with your new boss
or speaking in front of the school
board, dial the tension down a
notch by confessing your worries to
someone whos similarly frazzled.
Connecting with a person whos hav-
ing the same feelings can serve as a
bufer against stress by assuring you
that your emotional state is perfectly
normal, found Sarah S.M. Townsend,
Ph.D., an assistant professor at the
University of Southern Californias
Marshall School of Business.

5
Win when you call
customer service
Explaining spotty cable service or
questionable hotel charges to service
reps can make you want to scream.
One question will show youre not
messing around: What are you will-
ing to do to keep my business? This
phrase makes it more likely that the
agent will get you an answer or refer
you to a manager who might take
money of your bill, says Lee Cocker-
ell, author of The Customer Rules.

s your homes central
command, the kitchen is
where all kinds of magic
happensfrom impromptu family
talks to your inspired creation of
chicken -la-mazing. Still, consider
this dilemma: The average family
wastes more than $2,000 of
perfectly edible food every year,
yet many food-poisoning cases
happen at home. So how do you
find the middle ground? With
these tips on shelf life and
banishing bacteria, you can keep
salmonella off the table and a
happy, healthy gang around it.
Eggs last
well beyond the date
on the carton
3 to 5 weeks in the
fridge. If an egg floats
in water, a lot of air
has entered the shell,
and its past
its prime.
Set your
fridge to 37F.

more accurate
than the built-in

Oz-approved strategies to nix germs and keep food fresher
Nuke a wet

1 minute every

zap germs.
Opened
peanut butter

3 months; after
that, the taste

2 hours of
taking it out.
Scrape a
credit card over the
surface of your cutting
board; if it catches in
crevices, so will germs.
Replace the board

When youre squirreling away leftover
lasagna or that half-eaten carton of garlic
chicken, watch the clock: Your risk of
food-borne illness starts rising once
a dish has been out more than two
hours. So if you doggie-bagged dinner at a
restaurant and took it to the movies, toss it.
At home, dont worry that putting warm,
even hot, foods right into the fridge will
warm up your
refrigerator too much. In
fact, you should cool
foods down as quickly as
possible, since theyre
more susceptible to
bacterial growth if
theyre above 40 degrees.
Break down dishes into a
few smaller containers,
or cool them in an ice
bath before refrigerating.
Top shelf: Cheese, butter (covered), and other
dairy. Place milk in the back to keep it cooler.
Middle shelf: Cooked meats and leftovers.
Bottom shelf: Its coldest here, ideal for eggs in
their carton, raw meat, poultry, and seafood (unless
your fridge has separate drawers for these). Keep
meat and fish in their original packaging or in sealed
containers to catch any bacteria-laden drips; place
in a rimmed dish for an extra layer of safety.
Door: This is the warmest area of the fridge, so use
it to stash items that are less temperature-sensitive,
such as condiments (yes, including mayothe
vinegar in it acts as a natural preservative).
Drawers: These tend to be more humid, perfect
for leafy greens that need moisture to stay
fresh. You can also store fruits and vegetables
herebut not together. Some fruits emit a
gas that accelerates ripening and rot in veggies,
so keep them separate.

Apples
Youll pay about $4 for a
12-ounce bag of slices,
while most whole apples
cost less than $2 a pound. Presliced
apples also may not taste as fresh, and
theyre usually coated with ascorbic
acid to keep them from turning brown.
Beets
Packaged beets cost about twice
as much as whole beets, but theyre
a bargain when you consider that
theyre precooked. Prepping beets
yourself can stain your kitchen, clothes,
and hands purply red. Plus, beets
can take more than an hour to cook.
When to pick presliced produce
Prepped fruits and veggies make cooking easy, but they can be expensive
and lose freshness once theyre cut, says Dr. Oz The Good Lifes food director,
Susan Spungen. Heres when to let someone else do the chopping:
Onions
Pre-chopped onions are pricey: $5
a pound or more, as opposed to
about $1.49 for the same amount of
whole onions. Plus, onions quickly
lose flavor and crispness when cut
and can transfer an oniony taste to
other foods in your fridge.

MILK
Making a quick
run just for milk?
Head to the drugstore,
where prices are often
about 30 to 50 cents
lower per gallon than
at the supermarket,
says Lempert.

TOOTHPASTE
Drugstores run
deals on it more often
than supermarketsa
few times a month,
says couponing expert
Jill Cataldo. Stock up
on toothpaste when
prices dip to 99 cents.

BATTERIES
Big-box retailers
and wholesale clubs
buy bulk batteries at a
discount, so they can
cut price tags more
than supermarkets,
says food industry
analyst Phil Lempert.

Peeling it is a pain and leaves an irritat-

the same amount of whole squash.
Mushrooms
Cleaned and presliced mushrooms

YOUR BEST BODY
142 DR. OZ THE GOOD LIFE MAY ^ JUNE 2014
If walking had been created in a lab,
it would get a Nobel Prize. The sheer
number of benefits you get from putting
one foot in front of the other surpasses
almost any other tool in your doctors
toolbox: Walking can have a major
impact on your health, reducing the risk
of diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. You
can even walk off 10, 50, 100 pounds.
But just as important as all of that is
the way that walking changes how you
feel. Its a favorite wind-down for Dr. Oz
and his wife, Lisa. Walking keeps my
body occupied so my mind can wander
and free-associate, he says. Everyone
1. JUST ADD
FRIENDS
Dont scuttle workout
plans if friends are going
slower. Do your own 40
minutes at your pace,
then meet for a mellower
20-minute ramble.
2. START A WALKING
BOOK CLUB
Meet for weekly walks
to discuss books or
articles. Or let your own
story develop with the
Walk app ($5). Youre
the main character
in this audio book; your
steps unlock the
next part of the story.
Get Started on the
4 NEW WAYS
TO TAKE A WALK
knows someone who took a head-
clearing stroll around the block and came
back with a million-dollar business idea
or a way to help their first-grader stop
dreading school. Or theyve met someone
(maybe you) whose mood shifted when
she felt the sun on her face or smelled the
damp blossoms on the driveway.
Beyond clearing your head, a brisk
stroll also has the ability to curb cravings
for sweets, improve body image, decrease
depression, and boost creativity and job
performance. Just getting out the door
for a short walk can make you feel
better, says Joan Dorn, Ph.D., Physical

e Right FootEasy!
Activity and Health Branch chief at the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention. And weve always known
walkings value: The Latin phrase
Solvitur ambulandoIt is solved by
walkingoriginated at least 16
centuries ago.
You dont have to put in a lot of time
to get a lot out of walking. You can get
health benefits from just 30 minutes a
day. Do it for an hour and you can burn
340 calories at a 15-minute-per-mile pace
(for a 150-pound woman).
If you havent moved your body in
a while, you may need some inspiration,
and the following pages offer plenty
to keep your enthusiasm up. Just dont
overlook the power of letting other
people help you. Online walking groups
are blossoming, with sites like Dailymile
(dailymile .com), where you can friend
people who inspire and support you, and
join challenges, such as walking 365
miles by the end of the year. With Walker
Tracker (community.walkertracker.com),
joining certain challenges allows you to
see your progress and everyone elses on a
map. So lace up and read on to fall in love
(again) with the amazing power of taking
one step at a time. Michele Stanten
Two years ago, Norwood
was stuck in a work-all-day/
come-home-tired cycle. That
changed when she spotted a
Facebook post for a 30-day
challenge by GirlTrek, a group
that helps African American
women get healthy by walking.
I realized I needed to do
something that would also
have a positive impact on
others, she says. So she not
only joined and became a team
leader, she also began recruiting
others to walk with her.
Soon people were noticing
Norwoods slimmer body. I
dont exercise to be skinny,
I exercise to be healthy, she
says, but the way she felt as she
walked off the weight inspired
her to make other shifts, like
cutting red meat, sugar, and
fried foods out of her diet.
Today shes 65 pounds lighter
and amazed by how much you
can accomplish if you put your
mind to it.
HER WALKING WISDOM
Join a walking group.
When youre talking and
laughing, you dont even
notice how long or how far
youve gone, says Norwood.
Weight loss
was a benefit of
being healthy.
CHRYSANTHA
NORWOOD, 43
4. BEAT THE CLOCK
After warming up for five
minutes, designate a starting
line. Walk as fast as you can
for 20 minutes, and choose a
landmark as your finish line.
Turn around and walk back
to the start a little slower.
Do the same walk three times a
week on nonconsecutive days,
and push yourself to get to
your finish line faster each time.
Youll spend fewer minutes
walking but burn more calories.
3. MAKE YOUR WALK
A WORK OF ART
Use MapMyWalk.com to
design a walking route
in the shape of a person,
a starfish, or simply a
cool pattern. Turn on the
free app and watch your
design come to life as you
walk the path you created;
it draws a line on the map

It was her puppy that got
Simpson Kong moving. She
noticed how their daily walks
boosted both her weight loss
and mood. So when a friend
invited her to join a walking
group, she said yes. She jumped
into a half marathon with little
training and struggled to finish.
But after six months of walking,
she did her next race 40
minutes faster. I saw my
improvement and was hooked,
she says. If someone had told
me Id end up doing races, Id
have said, You want me to pay
to go out and exercise? Now
she does at least six a year. Even
if I dont lose another pound, Ill
keep walking, because it makes
me feel so good.
HER WALKING WOW After
her latest half marathon,
at Disney World, Simpson
Kong spent time in the parks
and discovered a bonus: It
was the first time since I was
about 11 that I didnt have a
single fear about being too fat
to fit in or ride something. I
had so much fun and energy,
Id do it again tomorrow.
Even if I dont
lose another
pound, Ill
keep walking.

Should I get walking shoes or
running shoes? You can wear
either. Walkers should look for
shoes without bulky heels, and
the soles should easily bend at
the ball of the foot. Many
running shoes have both of
these features. Whichever you
choose, fit and comfort are the
most important factors, says
Paul Langer, D.P.M., president
of the American Academy of
Podiatric Sports Medicine.
Is there a difference between
cheap and pricey pairs? More
expensive ones tend to last
longer, says Langer. But most
people can find something
comfortable at any price.
Whats better: barefoot-
style shoes or cushiony ones?
There are too many variables to
call one or the other better, says
Langer. But many walkers find
that when speed is their goal,
more flexible modelswhich
tend to be on the barefoot
side of the spectrummay
help by making it easier to
push off the ball of the foot.

WALK YOUR FIRST 5K!
Having a goal like walking a 5K or 10Kand putting your
money on the line for an entry feegives more purpose to your
walking routine. Todays walk really matters, because it adds to
how strong youll finish six weeks from now.
Just beware: One 5K and you may be hooked. Youll discover a
whole new level of camaraderie and celebration. Some walkers do
5Ks almost every weekend. Others choose two or three longer events
each year because the training keeps them walking regularly.
The plan below is all it takes to be ready for your first 5K. Its
simple: Youll build a walking habit in the first three weeks by
walking every day. After that, youll add a little speed with interval
walks. Once a week youll also increase the length of one session
to prepare for the 3.1 miles. Brisk walkers will cover race distance
in about 50 minutes, slower walkers in about 60.

Melanie Cooke, 53 found a
second opinion was critical in
planning her battle against stage
1A uterine cancer. See Melanies
journey at: cancercenter.com/

1
Get a
second opinion.
Tremendous advances have
recently been made in the
treatment of cancer.
Breakthroughs unimaginable
a generation ago are now
saving lives as a matter of
course. And the one consistent
enabling truth in the fight
against cancer throughout the
years has always been this:
Knowledge is power.
More advances in cancer treatment have been
made in the past fve years than in the past 50.
That means more options for patients when theyre
making the most important decisions of their lives.
(George Daneker, Jr., MD). A patient needs to be
aware of all treatment options and to feel confdent
and informed about his or her treatment decision.
Initial diagnoses are not always right; 12% of patients
are actually misdiagnosed
1
which can delay getting
the proper treatment and can afect outcomes. A
second opinion is a chance to gain more knowledge
and insight into the accuracy of the initial diagnosis
and to better understand additional needs like
nutritional planning, the
management of side
efects, and the
power of family
support during
cancer treatment.

calnewstoday.com/releases/77185.php
Gaining knowledge starts with asking the right
questions. Cancer Treatment Centers of America
(CTCA) has compiled a list of 10 questions to
help newly diagnosed patients understand
the nature of their disease, and be more
prepared, knowledgeable, and better able
to understand the recommended approach
to their treatment. The questions range from
understanding your doctors experience with
diagnostic testing, to knowing the latest treatment
options and understanding the benefts of integrative
therapies available to maintain quality of life and
keep you strong during
treatment.

questions and a richer

Getting advice from top cancer
doctors about what to do when
diagnosed, especially with
advanced stage cancer, is a
critical step in developing
the right treatment plan.
Fully one out of five patients
who receive a
cancer diagnosis learn their disease is
already advanced stage. Advice from
physicians experienced in treating the
specific type of cancer is especially
important for these individuals. Advanced
stage patients frequently require
more comprehensive
care from a dedicated
team that should
include a medical
oncologist, surgical or
radiation oncologist (if
appropriate), registered
dietitian, naturopathic
oncology provider, and other clinicians who
will contribute their expertise to the treatment
plan. Working with leading physicians who
have extensive experience in the treatment
of advanced stage cancer can make a real
difference. See more about the credentials of
CTCA Top Doctors at: castleconnolly.com.

Stay strong
for the fight.
If youre a cancer patient, your body is not only fighting
the disease, but coping with potentially difficult side
effects. The stronger you remain during treatment, the
more prepared you will be for the fight.
In fact, 69% of cancer patients have health issues
beyond their cancer
2
other diseases or disorders.
This makes choosing the right team of
specialists exceptionally important.
And fully eight out of ten people
living with cancer are also
malnourished.
3,4
The side
effects of treatment can
make eating difficult,
which affects the
patients ability to fuel
the healing process
even a 5% drop in
weight in a month can
decrease a persons
tolerance for treatment.
A dietitian on the care
team is therefore critical
to monitor nutrition and
prescribe a plan to build much
needed muscle mass.
Cancer Treatment Centers of America is a national network of fve hospitals in the U.S. with expertise in
treating patients who are fghting complex or advanced stage cancer, although many patients with an early
stage diagnosis seek our expertise as well. We combine world-class treatment with an integrative approach
to care to reduce side efects and maintain quality of life during cancer treatment. If you or someone you love
has advanced stage or complex cancer call 855-587-5528 or go to cancercenter.com.

YOUR BEST BODY
Your Perfect Wake-Up Stretch
Think of your body as a spongeand twists like this seated pose
as a way to wring out fatigue. I find it more energizing than a cup of
coffee, says physician and yoga instructor Sara Gottfried, M.D.
1
Sit cross-legged
on your bed or floor
and place your right
hand on the outside
of your left thigh.
Place your left hand
behind your back.
One of Dr. Ozs
favorite trainers,
Donovan Green
(below), says those
three little letters
W-H-Ycan beat any
excuse that comes
between you and
being active. Heres
how Green makes it
work with clients:
You: I didnt have time
to exercise yesterday.
Green: Why?
You: I didnt get up
early enough.
Green: Why?
You: I stayed up late
watching TV.
Green: Why?
You: I dont really know.
Green: Why?
You: Uh
Green: OK, then lets
get started!
GET MOTIVATED!
WHY?
The magic word
that makes your
workout happen
2

Inhale and lengthen
through your spine.
Exhale, press your
right hand into your
thigh, and gently
twist to your left.
3
Hold for five deep
breaths, growing
taller with each
inhale and twisting
a little deeper with
each exhale. Repeat
on the other side.
If youre one of those people who just cant stomach breakfast before
an early workout, you might come out ahead without it. People who
didnt eat before exercising in the a.m. burned almost 20% more fat,
according to Northumbria University researchers.
TIP To keep your spine long and straight, imagine a
string is pulling the top of your head to the ceiling.

YOUR BEST BODY
DOCTOROZMAG.COM 151
When it comes to
weight loss, the shockingbut
deliciousnews is that fat is
your friend. Research reveals
that if you focus on the right
kinds of fat, you can eat plenty of
itup to 35% of your calories
and still lose weight.
Fat doesnt just make food
taste better; your body cant
survive without it. And it might
end your battle with the scale.
Thats partly because rich,
satisfying fat takes a long time to
digest. It also keeps you full
longer, so youll be less likely to
sneak back for seconds or
scrounge for a late-night snack.
But the best thing about fat in
your diet is that two kinds serve
up special benefits: Science
shows they may increase levels
of a hormone that helps your
body burn fat, especially around
your middle. One type is known
as MUFAs (those are mono-
unsaturated fats); the other is
omega-3 fats (the poly-
unsaturated fats that salmon
and walnuts are famous for).
Get ready for this: If you want to get rid of fat,
you might need to eat more of it.
Yep, heaven on a plate. And in the mirror.

If youre like most people, youre
not getting enough of these
skinny fats. And your body
knows it. Your body is smart
and tries to hold on to the fat it
already has, says Dr. Oz. But
when you eat good fats, your
body loosens that grip. Its like
your fat is eating itself.
For maximum appetite
control and fat burning, and to
lose about a pound a week,
heres what to do:
Get one-third of your calories
each day from good fats (MUFAs
and omega-3s), like those shown
on the next two pages. The rest
of your calories should come
mostly from vegetables, plus
small amounts of whole grains
and lean proteins.
Make room for these skinny-fat
calories by cutting out the
unhealthy saturated fatthats
the kind in animal meat and
cheeses like American and
cheddar. If youre simply adding
good fats on top of a not-so-great
diet, youre just going to gain
calories, not shed weight.

YOUR BEST BODY
152 DR. OZ THE GOOD LIFE MAY ^ JUNE 2014
What to Eat
To get the most out of healthy fats, eat three meals and
one snack every day, and include one serving of healthy fats in each.
Whats a healthy fat? If you like fish, youre in luckfatty ones
like salmon and trout are excellent sources of
omega-3s; tuna and shrimp contain some
as well. But if youre not a seafood eater, you
can get good fats into your meals
with plant sources like the ones here:
EDAMAME
Add 1 cup to
a salad.
NUT AND SEED BUTTERS
Spread 2 Tbsp on an apple.
Try almond, peanut, cashew, and
sunower buters.
AVOCADO
Savor medium
avocado in a salad or
as a spread.
OILS
Add 1 Tbsp
hazelnut, olive,
avocado, canola,
walnut, soybean,
or axseed to your
salad dressing.
SEEDS
Sprinkle 3 Tbsp
sunower, sesame,
or pumpkin seeds
(above) onto a salad.
Spoon 2 Tbsp ax,
hemp, or chia
seeds onto yogurt
or oatmeal.
Splurge a little: Up to three times a week, you can replace one of the fats from the list above with one
of these yummy options: 1 oz dark chocolate; 3 oz sirloin; 1 oz feta, Brie, goat cheese, or Parmesan.

Eat leaner proteins,
like poultry, fish, beans, and
tofu instead of ground beef
or processed meats like
sausages, salami, or hot dogs.
Stay away from foods
with palm oil or trans fats
on the ingredients list.
MORE SECRETS TO SUCCESS
NUTS
Nosh on oz;
thats about
8 macadamias,
17 almonds,
15 pecans, or
10 walnut halves.
OLIVES
Snack on 15, or add
them to a chicken dish.
Spoiler alert: This includes
lots of packaged foods,
especially chips, snacks,
crackers, and many frozen
foods and baked goods. And
try to avoid eating snacks
that contain ingredients
your grandmother wouldnt
be able to recognize.
Knock out bad fats
to make room for the good
ones. That means taking a
pass on fried foods and
pastas with cream sauces.
Dont fall for low-fat
processed foods. Filled
with quickly digested carbs,
these products tend to be
just plain unsatisfying.
Plus, they can have as many
calories as their full-fat
counterparts, if not more.
So sideline those. Give the
same treatment to light
or reduced-fat butter and
cream cheese.
Healthy fat should provide about a third of your calories
but not a third of your plate! Since fat contains more than
twice the calories of protein or carbs, let good fats
take up a sliver of a plate; fill the rest with healthy whole
foods. Heres what the ideal meal looks like.
HOW TO FILL YOUR PLATE
Slightly less than
half vegetables
Veggies take up lots
of room in your
stomach, leaving
less space for
higher-calorie foods.
One-eighth
healthy fats
Keep added fats to
about an eighth of
your plate for foods
like avocado or
olives, a little less
for denser foods like
nuts and seeds.
One-quarter lean
protein
Protein like this lean
chicken is generally
digested more
slowly than any
other nutrient,
keeping you
full for hours.
One-quarter
whole grains
People who eat three
daily servings of whole
grains have tinier
waistlines and healthier
weights than people
who dont choose
whole grains.

DR OZ TIP
Its critical to have
some fat in your meals
the right kind, of course.
Theres a creaminess
that you cant ignore. The
robust taste fat gives your
food makes you more
satisfied with what youre
having; plus, it keeps
you full longer.

156 DR. OZ THE GOOD LIFE MAY ^ JUNE 2014
Dr. Ozs Rx...
Start with a
reality check.
Other people are generally
more focused on their own lives
and imperfectionsthan on yours.
So when someone gives you an
odd or angry look, dont assume
theyre aiming arrows at you.
I invite you to think another way.
Maybe theyre just
irritated because they got
soaked in the rain.
Show what
youve got.
Many of us are so afraid of
exposing our shortcomings
that we end up hiding the zillion
things we have to offerthe
very things people love about us.
The good life isnt about
fixing things youre trying
to hide; its about
celebrating what youre
willing to share.
Be like
nature.
It embraces imperfection.
When Id take my daughters to
the natural history museum, theyd
point out their favorite gems. There
was one flawless piece of jade, and
no one ever gravitated to it. I finally
realized it was because the perfect
stone was boring. The blemishes made
the others more beautiful. Its fine
if the Eiffel Tower is symmetrical.
But in people, Ill take
off-center any day.
Im
not great on
the piano, but that
doesnt stop m
e
from
playing.
Few things in life are flawless, so why do we spend so much time
obsessing over our shortcomings? Truth is, we do a lot of damage
to ourselves by expecting to always score an A+, when our imperfection
is what makes us human. Try flaunting, not fearing, your flaws:
