I was watching an episode of Dr. Oz. and he listed some possible solutions for neck pain and muscle cramps. He said that some times these symptoms may be caused by dehydration and deficiencies in magnesium and potassium.
Potassium
In researching potassium, I found that it is an electrolyte, meaning it regulates the fluids in your body. When increasing your potassium intake, it helps your heart by lowering blood pressure.
If you have any type of arthritis you’ll find that potassium will assist the pain by removing acids from your joints.
The list doesn’t stop there. Potassium may help many other conditions such as hypoglycemia, diabetes, kidney disease and kidney stones.

I watched the Dr. Oz show today, Monday, April 5, 2010. He had a doctor, David Katz, on his show who discussed how our genes play a roll in how we lose weight. Dr. Katz stated that all diets worked about the same, per a study, but that calories were the bottom line.
There is now a gene test which determines which diet is best for you based upon your genes. Dr. Ken Korman, the founder of the company that performs the test, explained how the test works. The test involves brushing the inside of your mouth; you let it dry; and place it in a little paper envelope which you mail into the laboratory. The cost of the test is $149.
But wait, for those who may not be able to afford the test Dr. Oz provided some great information. Read the rest of this entry »

I just watched a segment on the March 22, 2010 episode of The Dr. Oz Show on BPA and our water supply. It has been found that some chemical compounds found in everyday household items can cause serious damage to our health, possibly irreversible. These chemicals, “endocrine disruptors” mimic hormones that our bodies make. Low levels that were once thought tolerable are now found harmful to our health. These chemicals can increase our risk for cancer. Fish, frogs and other life forms discovered around the U.S had both male and female organs.

In a recent episode of the Dr. Oz Show they discussed the intestinal track and foods to eat or avoid while ill.
In an illustration on the intestinal tract Dr. Oz explained that in the lining of the intestinal track there are little hairs (villi). Sometimes a different type of bacteria lie on top of the villi and release toxins, water, fluid, that is excreted and make your bowels really watery. Other times there are other bacteria that release chemicals that cause the intestinal tract through the immune system to die off. Then all of the food goes through the intestinal tract and the nutrients do not get absorbed and cause water to stay in the bowels and cause constipation. If you are under stress, the stress may cause the intestinal tract to squeeze too quickly and causes you to go to the bathroom all of a sudden. With constipation the bowel is holding onto too much water. Read the rest of this entry »

On today’s (February 9, 2010), episode of the Dr. Oz Show, Dr. Oz shared three foods that are beneficial for preventing constipation. They are not all just high in fiber. He did not mention anything about prunes. Most of us already know that high fiber foods are the way to go, but I was surprised at one of the foods he mentioned.
Per World’s Healthiest Foods,
Raspberries are packed with fiber. Just one cup provides 33% of the recommended DV (daily value) for dietary fiber. They contain even more Vitamin C and Manganese.
Lentils like other beans, are rich in dietary fiber, both the soluble and insoluble type. Just one cup provides 62.6% of the recommended DV for dietary fiber.
Papaya contains papain, an enzyme that helps digest proteins. One papaya contains about 21.9% of the recommended DV for dietary fiber. There is a higher concentration of this enzyme in the unripened papaya, therefore, drinking the juice is better for your digestive health. It also contains 313.1%.
Dr. Oz added that the average woman needs to get 21 grams of fiber per day.

On the January 15, 2010 episode of the Dr. Oz Show, Dr. Oz discussed the subject of anti-aging. In one of the segments on questions and answers one audience member asked, “What causes gray hair?”
Causes of gray hair
Above the scalp hair follicles are pigmented. Under the scalp there is a section that that holds pigment and pushes the pigment (oil) through the different layers of cells, into the follicle. Then it goes up into the hair, above the scalp. We often stop producing this pigment. What causes that? Dr. Oz stated, “Genetics are important, but so is stress.” Stress causes cortisol to be released in the body and that determines how well pigment is produced. Read the rest of this entry »

In watching a recent episode of the Dr. Oz Show they discussed 3 conditions that are most misdiagnosed in women.
Stroke – In one women’s story her stroke was misdiagnosed as an ear infection
Hypothyroidism – (low thyroid) For one woman her hypothyroidism was misdiagnosed as menopause and possible depression. Her advice was to be assertive and speak up for yourself. Since hair loss is one of the symptoms of hypothyroidism, Dr. Oz says to grab some hair about the amount that would fill up a straw. Gently pull from the root with your fingers to the ends of the hair. The cut off is 6 hairs. Anything else is abnormal. Read the rest of this entry »
