Week 1: Artery Maintenance
Dr Oz said that during the first week, it is all about Artery Maintenance. Add 2 TB of Flaxseed Oil to your breakfast. For example, if you eat oatmeal, you can just mix in the flaxseed oil, which helps it loosen up blood vessels and keeps your blood from clumping together. Also, start taking 2 baby aspirin with a big glass of water (the water is key!) before bedtime. The third thing to start doing this week is 10 minutes of stretching before you leave in the morning. By stretching out your muscles, you arteries become 30% less stiff too! You can do simple stretches like leaning forward to touch your toes. Lie down on your stomach and push your body up with your head towards the sky and then roll your body down and arch your back with your butt up in the air.
Dr Oz: Week 2: Challenge Your Heart
Dr Oz said that the second week you want to get your heart rate up by doing things like climbing stairs for 7 minutes a day. Studies show that you can reduce your Heart Attack Risk by 1/3 if you get your heart rate up. Put a pedometer on if that helps to encourage you, because a pedometer will count exactly how many steps you take every day. Another option is to take a brisk walk for 20 minutes every day.
Dr Oz: Week 3: Lower Your Blood Pressure
Dr Oz said that you should add three servings of fruit to your diet to help reduce your cholesterol. Make meat the side dish at your meals and the veggie should be the entree. Dr Oz said there was a study called The China Study that found that there is a huge reduction in Heart Attack Risk in China from eating a diet like this.
Dr Oz: Week 4: Reduce Stress
Dr Oz said that you must reduce your stress this week. Pick up the phone and call someone that you care about and reconnect with people you have lost touch with. Make 2 social calls per week. Also, once a week you should have a social visit with people. The final tip to reduce stress – have sex!
