Dr. Oz’s Anti-Aging Checklist
Dr. Oz and Oprah
Dr. Oz is perhaps the most accomplished and respected cardiothoracic surgeon in the United States. Born in Cleveland, OH to Turkish parents, he works at Columbia University New York Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. He is a graduate of University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine; he also holds an MBA from Wharton School of Business at Penn. The kind and remarkable doctor operates on some 400 patients a year, is a Professor of Cardiac Surgery at Columbia University, director of Cardiovascular Institute at Columbia Presbyterian, directs the Heart Assist Device Program and is the founder of the Complimentary Medicine Program.
Dr. Oz stated on Oprah that one of his favorite anti-aging foods are blueberries. A quick visual glance can tell you that blueberries are packed full of antioxidants because of their dark color. Acai berries are also extremely dark, and therefore, full of antioxidants. Here are a few of the anti-aging foods Dr. Oz recommends keeping in the fridge:
- Acai Berries
- Blueberries
- Sweet potatoes,
- Broccoli
- Tomatoes
Dr. Oz introduced, while talking with Oprah, the acai berry into this anti aging hall of fame list. He raved, “it has twice the antioxidant content as a blueberry, so it’s a wonderful alternative.” Dr. Oz states, “look at the food label and make sure they don’t have too many carbohydrates in there. It’s [acai berries] just sort of breaking through.”
