The dr. Mehmet Oz, 47 years, cardiac surgeons and Turkish American citizen, he devoted his studies and researches for the
maximum delay of the effects of age in their patients, keeping a body younger than chronological age points through the adoption of a lifestyle that extend the age. In the interview he granted to Watch, reveals that fourteen key actors involved in aging, with seven of them delay the process, such as antioxidants, and the other seven resulting in weakened, including the muscular atrophy. Therefore it is
important to keep these players under control. To achieve this goal is necessary, a priori, to keep the body healthy, shifting the focus of prevention of harm to the preservation of health. Stresses that we must take care of the body so that it does not weaken. Because when a person ages, potentially fatal diseases such as cancer and heart attack, do not appear immediately. Before they settle, the body becomes more fragile and vulnerable. Hence the importance being given to physical exercises as they fought the first sign of aging, which is the loss of muscle strength. Allied with them are important both to good nutrition for meditation. Emphasizes and recommends the practice of tai chi chuan, a type of
exercise that combines oriental origin of balance, motor coordination and meditation. With regard to nutrition, recommends the consumption of nutrients that contain the resveratrol found in grapes and lycopene in tomatoes, because they are powerful antioxidants. The main and most important is the control of the quantity of food, all people should eat a little less of what they want, eat every three hours, because if the range is greater than this, there is increase in the hormone ghrelin . People who consume around 2 000 calories a day can make two meals of 300 calories each, and another larger, up to 800 and the tea can have up to 250 calories. Stresses the recommendation to see if the food being consumed does not contain saturated fats, trans fats, simple sugar, invert sugar and wheat flour enriched, since the fat can stimulate inflammatory processes in the liver, forcing the production of harmful substances such as the cholesterol. Also, make the liver is less sensitive to insulin, increasing the risk of diabetes. The same happens with the sugars listed because they stimulate production of insulin, increasing the deposition of body fat. Emphasizes that the Brazilians eat very fatty meat, which is wrong, and rice in excess, since little is consumed the whole rice, which contains more fiber, keeping longer in the intestine and reducing absorption of sugar by the body . Remember, however, that the Brazilians have a great advantage in their food: they have available a huge variety of wonderful fruits and vegetables for reasonable price. Shows the importance of drinking much liquid during the day, especially water and green tea, to sleep at least seven hours per night, because during sleep is produced the growth hormone, essential even for those who is already adult (extends the youth), to walk half an hour a day and practice exercises that make sweat at least three times a week. Meditation done for five minutes every day, and very healthy, is that each individual rethink about themselves and their attitudes, which promotes the strengthening of relationships with people nearby, and provides a failure of justice. Instead of judging others, you better take care of itself. Any kind of conflict brings something positive, but it is exhausting. As for dinner, recommended to be performed at least three hours before sleeping, because sleeping after a meal, it facilitates the accumulation of fat, especially in the waist, and impair sleep. Returning to talk about the exercise, shows that those who are moderate or intense, they sweat and, therefore, have benefits. But do not disregard the gentle exercises and low impact, saying that even walking moves large muscles such as the thighs and hips, which consume much energy. As the muscle is greater calorie expenditure during exercise, the burning of calories increases. Only recommends the use of vitamin supplements when the body needs them and not be able to capture them via ordinary food. Emphasized, however that certain vitamins can improve the quality of life and longevity, such as A, B, C, D and E, plus calcium, magnesium, selenium and zinc. Vitamin D is important because it prevents cancer and osteoporosis. Remember how important it is to play with the children to remain young, seek out new things every day, learning to talk with others, and always prefer to ask, how is the life of people, how they work, because that makes it the mind is exercise. Ends saying he was impressed with the Brazilian and the fruit juice shops, where they are mixed fruit and other plants, an unconventional combination. Claims to be fond of açaí when he met here today and that was part of their menu, and food with a higher concentration of antioxidants.
