Drs. Oz & Roizen: Making You Turns

If you’ve ever ridden in a car with a GPS satellite navigation system, you know how it works. Plug in your destination, and the system—using satellites to plot your current and final points—tells you exactly what to do and when to do it. If you miss a turn or head down the wrong street, the GPS doesn’t berate you for the mistake. It doesn’t tell you that you might as well drive off a cliff just because you missed First Avenue. Instead, it simply says: “At the next available moment, make an authorized U-turn.” YOU-reka! The GPS recognizes the mistake and tries to help you correct it.

That’s the kind of mentality we want you to have regarding your health. You are going to make wrong turns. You’re going to turn left at the cookies, make a right at the blueberry pie, and occasionally merge onto the interstate at banana nut pancakes with a side order of sausage patties. Does that mean you should steer off the cliff and onto destructive behaviors? Of course not. You can make a YOU turn and get back on the right path.

Something else that’s critical is having a buddy who can help be your personal GPS system. Buddies help each other make those YOU turns, get back on the right road, get healthy together and enjoy their passions longer.

In fact, we believe the most important fitness tips we can give anybody are to:

⇒ How long can you hold your breath under water? Exactly. You see, most diets promise commonsense solutions to tight-pants problems: Eat less and you’ll weigh less. Keep your mouth closed and you’ll keep the pounds off. Sweat like a sauna-dwelling sumo wrestler and you’ll wind up skinnier than a sheet of paper. Straightforward enough. But if it really worked that way, then most diets wouldn’t fail. Or it could be that most diets have it all wrong.

We believe it’s the latter. You know why? Because, with most diets, it’s you versus food in a lifetime heavyweight fight. But in that scenario, the fight is always fixed—and not in your favor. That’s because the battle against extra pounds isn’t won with force, with sweat, with trying to diet. It’s won with elegance, with smarts and with healthy choices that become as automatic as a Simon Cowell barb.

When it comes to dieting, trying to whip fat with our weapon of willpower equates to holding your breath under water: You can do it for a while, but no matter how psyched up you get, at some point your body—your biology—forces you to the surface gasping for air. And with most diets, your body forces you to gasp (or gulp) for food. No matter how hard you try not to eat, some hidden force deep inside is always prying your mouth back open, making it impossible for willpower to win. Instead of sparring with your waistline, it’s time you made your body an ally in the fight against fat.

Allen Park Cosmetic Dentist Warns of Hidden Sugar In Foods | Allen ...

We advise our Allen Park cosmetic dental clients at Szalai & Szalai DDS to watch their sugar intake to prevent cavities and other health problems.

If you are trying to unsweeten your diet, you are probably skipping the usual suspects: candy, soda, and baked treats. But not all sugar is as obvious as the frosting on a piece of chocolate cake or the powdery stuff in pixie stix.

Here are some foods found in Allen Park grocery stores and school cafeterias with a surprisingly high sugar content:

Reading the fine print on the labels is a must. The following terms are all types of sugar:

raw sugar, cane sugar, glucose, lactose, galactose, fructose, dextrose, honey, sorghum, molasses, cane sugar, confectioner’s sugar, crystallized cane juice, invert sugar, maltodextrin (or dextrin), maple syrup, concentrated fruit juices, evaporated cane juice (what kind of cane do you think we are talking about?)

Do the math : when shopping at Allen Park markets or health food stores, carefully decipher food labels before you buy. Four grams of sugar equals one teaspoon .Add all the grams of each type of sugar listed and divide by four to really understand how much sugar contains an element.

At & Szalai Szalai DDS, we advocate and practice preventive care for dental health for life.
