Nature Promotes Kids' Health

[Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs] Nature Promotes Kids' Health By Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs In the animated film "Tarzan II," young Tarzan (voiced by Harrison Chad) has to come to terms with his place in the family of apes that has adopted him. After travels and tribulations, he does just that, thriving because of his happy relationship with the nature all around him. A lot of research has been done on the cognitive and emotional benefits for kids of regularly spending time in nature. These include better school performance, more creativity, improved fitness, less depression and hyperactivity, stronger bones, improved eyesight (less nearsightedness), and better sleep. Special: [Do Not Eat Almonds, Spinach, and Peanut Butter – Here's Why]( But too many of today's youngsters have what's been called “nature-deficit disorder.” That nonmedical term describes behavioral and developmental/learning problems — from attention deficits to depression — that can arise when kids are constantly indoors, staring at a digital screen five or more hours a day. How can you change your video-gaming 12-year-old into a Tarzan? A study from North Carolina State University reported that solitary activities in which your child is one-on-one with nature, such as fishing or hiking, are keys to building a strong love of nature, as are outdoor social activities such as playing sports or camping. So go to a local, state, or national park, or take a drive in the country, and let your child explore and discover new and mysterious plants and animals. Remember, a sedentary lifestyle imperils your child's health and happiness. And that’s true for adults as well. --------------------------------------------------------------- Special Message --------------------------------------------------------------- ADVERTORIAL If you been led to believe that peanut butter, almonds and spinach are good for you, today's email might shock you and is important to read, because these 3 healthy foods could be contributing to health problems in your body. Let's take a quick look at why... 1. Peanut butter While peanut butter does contain a small amount of protein and vitamins/minerals, the cons outweigh the pros on this food. First of all, peanuts contain one of the highest concentrations of aflatoxin, which is a mold toxin that is created in peanuts due to storage in moist conditions. Peanut butter is also very high in inflammatory omega-6 fats and due to the processing of peanut butter, those omega 6 fats are in a harmful oxidized state. Most people already get too much omega 6 fats from vegetable oils (soy, corn, canola, etc), and this contributes to insulin resistance, heart disease, brain inflammation, cancer, and lots more health problems, since most people are currently eating 5-10x more omega-6 fats than we should be eating in a healthy diet. Lastly, peanut butter also contains medium amounts of oxalates, which are plant-based antinutrients that when consumed in excess can contribute to kidney stones, thyroid and gut problems, joint problems and more. We'll talk more about oxalates in the next food... 2. Spinach Spinach is promoted as a healthy green, but contains FAR more downsides than good sides. Spinach is one of the highest oxalate foods that's commonly eaten by modern humans (in addition to beet greens, beets, almonds, and other veggies and nuts). The amount of oxalates in a serving of spinach is extremely high, up to 600 mg in a normal sized bowl. The "safe" amount of oxalates in a daily diet according to world renowned oxalate expert Sally Norton should be between 100-200 mg per day total to avoid a lot of the health problems caused by high oxalate plants. So, you can see how concerning spinach is with the extremely high oxalate levels. As mentioned above, eating too much oxalates too frequently can cause serious issues such as kidney stones, thyroid problems, gut damage, skin issues, and joint pain. In fact, some people have even gotten "oxalate poisoning" by eating green smoothies too often and had to go to the ER for kidney failure. 3. Almonds Although almonds and almond milk are marketed as healthy, they also contain many downsides, including all of the negatives mentioned above about too much omega 6 fats and too much oxalates. They're probably ok in your diet occasionally, but it's advisable to avoid eating almonds too often because of these issues with excess oxalates and omega 6 fats. Now let's take a look at a fun little quiz below and a few more foods... Bananas vs oranges vs apples...
