Dr.Oz's Golden Rule

Dr Oz's revealed his Golden Rule the other day and it is a rule every one of us can use in our daily lives.

Eating the right way isn’t about dieting, which implies a temporary change in your eating habits; it’s about making better choices every day so that they become second nature.

Do unto others Health as you would want done unto Yours

So treat your friends, family and enemies as you would want to be treated.

Dr Oz also recommend so many supplements, but his stock standard daily vitamin's recommended are:

Multi Vitamin

Take your Multi Vitamin 1/2 in the morning and 1/2 in the evening, so you can absorb all the nutrients throughout the day.

The typical multivitamin contains about 10 vitamins and 10 minerals including vitamins A, C, D, E, K and minerals such as potassium and zinc. Make sure your multi contains iodine, a mineral that is sometimes omitted by certain manufacturers and is important for your heart, thyroid, brain and other vital organs.

When purchasing your multivitamins, look for bottles labeled 100% Daily Value (DV). In addition, avoid mega doses, such as supplements containing 500% DV, taking into account that you’ll also be absorbing vitamins and minerals from foods you eat.

Calcium Magnesium

Without calcium in your diet, the body will rob this nutrient from your bones, which weakens your bones. Calcium combined with magnesium not only supports your bones, but also keeps your teeth and muscles healthy. It’s important to take these minerals together since calcium alone can cause constipation, whereas magnesium will prevent this side effect.

Choose a supplement that contains 600mg of calcium with 400mg of magnesium and take once a day. Remember to always drink with a full glass of water. Do not take this supplement within 1-2 hours of taking your multivitamin since calcium can block the body from absorbing other nutrients.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids/Fish Oil
Omega-3 fatty acids are the superstar fats that boost your brain, protect your heart and arteries, fight wrinkles, lubricate your joints and more. There are 3 types of omega-3 fatty acids:

• Alpha-linelenic acid (ALA) found walnuts, flaxseeds, and olive oil
  • Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) found primarily in fish oil
  • Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) also found in fish oil
• look for one that contains 600mg of DHA
• Take this supplement at breakfast time. To keep fish oil lasting longer and prevent spoiling, store it in the fridge.

Organic Food List

Organic food is so important to your health. Buying organic fruit and vegetables is not more expensive than buying convential. Just manage your food budget to buying less of foods that you do not need or should not be eating and end up throwing it out because you buy too much of it. Buying organic keeps you healthier which means less doctor visits

Eat the foods that supply your body the nutrients it needs.

Here is a list of foods that you should always buy organic.

Root Vegetable: Potatoes

Regular potatoes that are grown above ground are sprayed with pesticides, and the soil they’re grown in is treated with fungicide. By buying organic varieties, you avoid both these threats. In case you can’t find organic potatoes, try sweet potatoes; they are usually grown with less pesticides overall. Organic potatoes cost about $1.49 per pound at grocery stores.

Produce: Peppers and Celery

Both veggies react to pesticides in the same way: like a sponge, absorbing the chemicals through the skin. Because of this, you won’t be able to reduce chemical ingestion by washing or peeling them. Always choose the organic variety. Organic peppers and celery cost between $4 and $7 per pound at grocery stores.

Leafy Greens: Lettuce, Spinach and Collard Greens

Usually these plants are doused in pesticides to ward off insects. Organic growers use methods like non-toxic repellents to keep these vegetables free of pests. Organic greens cost between $3 and $6 per pound.

Dairy Products: Yogurt, Butter, Cheese and Ice-Cream

It’s important to go organic with these kitchen staples because we eat so much of them, so often. Non-organic dairy products may come from cows fed a diet of genetically modified corn, soy, and antibiotics. Organic dairy products can be found at grocery stores and usually cost between $2.20 and $4.40.
