How To Stay Lean And Healthy
By Eating More Fruits And Vegetables
by Dr. Robert Osgoodby
The
United States has the highest level of obesity of any country
in
the world. American's dietary habits and choices are the main
reason
for this problem. In countries where fruits and
vegetables
are the main staple of their diet, there are much
lower
instances of obesity, heart disease and certain forms of
cancer.
There
are a lot of great reasons to eat more fruit and
vegetables.
Fruit and vegetables are low in calories and low in
fat.
They are high in fiber, vitamins and minerals. Research
studies
have shown that people who eat at least 5 servings of
fruit
and vegetables a day have a much lower risk for heart
disease
and some cancers. The vitamins, minerals and other
components
of fruits and vegetables are responsible for helping
prevent
these common deadly diseases. Fruits and vegetables are
nutrient-dense,
vitamin-rich and are high in Vitamin A, B, C and
fiber
With
today's hectic, fast-paced world, they are perfect for
someone
who is on the run and strapped for time. Other than
washing
them and throwing them in tupperware or a plastic bag,
there
is little to no preparation time. Vegetables and fruits
are
the perfect fast and easy food.
Keep
fruit in sight in your refrigerator. By keeping fruit and
vegetables
on your top shelf, rather than tucked away out of
sight
in a bottom drawer, it reminds you to eat healthy every
time
you open the refrigerator door. Another great way to keep
these
healthy food items in sight is to keep a bowl of fruit on
your
counter.
Top
your cereal, waffles, or pancakes with fruit. Fruit is the
perfect
natural sweetener and a great addition to most breakfast
meals.
Fruit
is the perfect quick, easy snack. Instead of snacking on
cookies,
pretzels or chips, grab a piece of fruit. It is a great
source
of healthy carbohydrates that will provide you with the
energy
you need to get through the day.
Eat
a garden salad for lunch. A salad is another healthy meal
that
is easy to prepare. You can make a large salad in just a
few
minutes time. This will keep you eating fresh healthy
vegetables
for days. Bag it, put it in the refrigerator, and
it's
ready when you are. You can also add protein to your salad
like
tuna, chicken, turkey, beans, etc. . .
Fruit
is a quick, healthy, easy dessert. Instead of eating ice
cream,
cake, or pie, have a piece of fruit instead. It's sweet,
delicious,
and most important - a healthy end to your meal.

House
Calls
-=-=-=-=-=-
A
doctor was awakened at four in the morning by a caller who
demanded
to know how much he charged for a house call.
"Twenty-five
dollars," muttered the sleepy physician.
"How
much is an office visit?" demanded the caller.
"Fifteen
dollars."
"Okay,
Doc," said the caller. "I'll meet you in your office in
fifteen
minutes."

My
doctor tells me I suffer from extreme hypochondria.
He
prescribed a strong placebo, but I don't think it's working.

Dear
Dr. Osgoodby
I
am looking to lose weight and increase my muscularity. When I
do
a set, how many repetitions should I be doing?
Sincerely,
Steve
-----
Dear
Steve:
Great
question! Although some experts may disagree, for
increasing
muscle mass, I recommend that you do 12 repetitions
for
each exercise. If you are looking just to tone, I recommend
16
repetitions for each exercise. If you are looking to become a
Power
Lifter, you would be using heavier weights with fewer
repetitions.
The
amount of reps you do is not as important as your intensity.
It
should be a challenge for you to get your last rep, and you
should
go to muscle failure. This is one of the reasons it is a
good
idea to have a work-out partner who can spot you. Once you
can
comfortably do 12 repetitions, slightly increase your weight.
Warmly,
Dr.
Robert Osgoodby

Trivia
Until
recently, scientists subscribed to the wrong belief that
ulcers
were caused by an excess production of acid in the
stomach.
Ulcers are caused by acid-resistant bacteria and can be
cured
by medication.

********How do I Get There From Here?********
by James Groves
The Good, The Bad, and The Oily
Are
you confused when you go to the store to purchase an oil for
cooking?
I can certainly understand the confusion. Let's see,
there's
vegetable oil, corn oil, olive oil, sunflower oil,
safflower
oil, peanut oil, cornola (whatever that is) and for you
southerners,
there's always lard. This last one I just named is
not
a misprint. Lard is a white, thick, cooking substance that's
been
around for a long time. I can remember my Grandmother used
this
toothpaste, looking glob of white to fry chicken.
So
how do you begin to select an oil. First DO NOT ever use
vegetable
oil. Remember a previous health tip was about butter
versus
margarine (which is pure vegetable oil). If you missed
that
article be sure to check Bob's website for the issue.
Second,
DO NOT use the lard I just mentioned above. If it
becomes
solid and stays solid at room temperature, then imagine
what
it does in your arteries. Clog-city!!
Your
best choice is always olive oil because it tastes good and
it's
beneficial for your health. Extra-virgin olive oil is great
on
salads or pasta, but it's also great for cooking. The extra-
virgin
is usually a little more expensive, but that's because
it's
the first gentle pressing of the olive and it is less
tampered
with than other kinds.
So
now is the time to go to the pantry and throw out all those
saturated
fats and even those polyunsaturated ones like corn oil,
safflower
oil, and soybean oil. Purchase a good quality olive
oil.
Your
arteries and your heart will be glad you did!
These
health tips can only be found in Dr. Osgoodby's Body
Transformation
Newsletter.
Join
me next month and I'll talk about sugar substitutes.
Live
in Passion and Good Health,

Dr. Earl Mindell's Wellness Update
==================================
You've
no doubt heard about beta-carotene, a potent antioxidant
that
occurs naturally in many fruits and vegetables and is
converted
to vitamin A in the body. Beta-carotene made headlines
in
the 1980s when research revealed that it helps prevent certain
kinds
of cancer. But this essential nutrient is just one of more
than
50 caretonoids, naturally occurring compounds that protect
the
body against the ravages of ultraviolet radiation and other
potential
carcinogens. Several new studies focus on the health
benefits
of two other caretonoids, lutein, and zeaxanthin, which
are
found in abundance in green vegetables like broccoli,
spinach,
kale, and mustard greens.
Apparently,
these nutrients form the yellowish macular pigment
that
is found in the center of the human retina. Previous studies
have
shown that a diet rich in lutein and zeaxanthin reduces the
risk
of age-related cataracts and helps prevent macular
degeneration,
the leading cause of severe vision loss in people
over
55. The two caretonoids seem to work together to protect the
cells
in the eyes from free-radical damage.
A
new study in the "Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics"
suggests
that lutein and zeaxanthin may also reduce the effect of
ultraviolet
light on the formation of disease-causing free
radicals
and improve vision by reducing light scattering in the
retina.
Since the body can't synthesize these nutrients itself
but
must obtain them from external sources, the only way to
protect
your vision is to eat your leafy greens and/or take
supplements
that contain mixed caretonoids.
Another
study reveals that lutein and zeaxanthin may have cancer-
fighting
properties as well. The report, which appeared in the
journal
"Cancer Causes Control," analyzed the dietary habits of
women
in Wisconsin and Massachusetts and found that those who
consumed
the largest quantities of these nutrients had a 40
percent
lower risk of ovarian cancer than women who consumed the
least.
Just as the caretonoid lycopene seems to guard against
prostate
cancer, lutein and zeaxanthin may have a particular
affinity
for the ovaries.
Whether
you want to maintain keen eyesight or protect your
precious
internal organs against cancer, a daily dose of mixed
caretonoids
makes perfect health sense! In addition to eating
plenty
of leafy greens, look for a supplement that contains a
blend
of different caretonoids, including lutein and zeaxanthin.

By
eating at least 5 servings of fruit and vegetables every day,
you
can greatly decrease your risk of heart disease and some
cancers.
If you are looking to lose weight and get lean, fruit
and
vegetables should be a good percentage and regular part of
your
diet.
Yours in Health
