While all the items on this week's
multiple choice list could be used for energy support, and have been
recommended by Dr. Oz for energy support during this past season
three of The Dr. Oz Show, there was one item in particular that I was
looking for that was discussed on one of last week's repeat episodes.
The Answer:
Spirulina
Dr. Oz calls spirulina the miracle from
the sea. Spirulina is a blue-green algae that is pure protein. On the
4/13/12
episode that was re-run this past week, Dr. Oz says spirulina
will give you the energy you need.
Mix 1 tablespoon of powdered spirulina
together with 12 ounces of lime juice. Citrus boosts both energy and
mood. Pour the mixture into ice cube trays and freeze. The cold
temperature will increase metabolic energy. Place 2 frozen cubes into
8 ounces of water. Dr. Oz says this will be your new energy drink.
Yerba Mate
Dr. Oz has previously talked about
getting 30g of protein within 30 minutes of waking up. On the 2/13/12
episode, Jump-Start Hour, Dr. Oz said to take that rule and build
upon it with these this new rule.
Yerba Mate, a traditional South
American tea supports weight loss through two mechanisms. The first
mechanism is by speeding up the digestion process and the second is
to reduce the absorption of fat and Yerba Mate is full of
antioxidants and vitamins.
Vitamin C
Dr. Oz has talked about Vitamin C
throughout this past season. He recommends Vitamin C for a variety of
uses from skin care, as an antioxidant, for immune support and for
energy.
On the 10/12/11 episode, Dr. Oz
recommended combining foods that contain Vitamin C with foods that
contain iron to the most from the iron you're eating.
To get the most from your iron, combine
iron-containing foods with Vitamin C
which works to aid absorption of the iron. Bok
choy and iron fortified orange
juice are two easy ways for the body to absorb iron by
combining iron with Vitamin C.
Green Tea
Dr. Oz has long recommended green tea
as a go-to health beverage because of it's polyphenal content which
are great for the heart, caffeine to boost metabolism, as well as
antioxidants. Here are a few more reasons to drink green tea.
In addition to
energy production on the 6/4/12
episode of The Dr. Oz Show, Dr. Oz recommended drinking green tea
to combat bad breath. He said green tea contains antioxidants that
help kill bacteria in the mouth.
Green tea can also
support skin health, according to Dr. Oz's Get Healthy Plan from the
4/4/12
episode. To help the skin stay young from the inside out, Ms.
Greaves recommends drinking green tea with lemon. Green tea is an
anti-inflammatory superstar that helps to keep the skin firm and
looking young. Adding lemon will increase the antioxidant value of
the beverage by 13 times. Catechins, a special group of flavonoids
found in tea, will last longer in the digestive tract with the added
lemon. Drink green tea with lemon daily, says Ms. Greaves.
