Tuesday, March 24, 2009 Oprah Show: Dr. Oz with Extreme Life Extension

Tuesday March 24, 2009

Dr. Oz joined Oprah today to share with viewers the latest technology to help extend your life. Technology has moved to a place where today's reality was yesterday's science fiction.

First Oprah and Dr. Oz introduced viewers to Joe, who at 51 has the body of a 20 year old athlete. What's Joe's secret? Calorie restriction is the basic change Joe made to his life 7 years ago that has made his life expectancy a possible 150 years. Dr. Oz confirmed that calorie restriction is the #1 way to extend your longevity by tricking the body into thinking there are not enough resources, so the cells become super-efficient. Dr. Oz also warned for those considering the diet to work closely with your doctor to assure that you are eating the proper foods to avoid anemia or bone density loss from missing nutrients.

Dr. Oz also showcased the latest technology in the medical field, including: regenerative medicine, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, an infrared sauna, and a special smart toilet.

With all of the advances in medicine, Dr. Oz assured viewers that the best way to a long and vital life is proper exercise and nutrition. To end the show, Dr. Oz introduced resveratrol supplements - a pill that gives you the benefits of drinking red wine.
