Obesity Can Be Contagious

[Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs] Obesity Can Be Contagious By Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs Acceptance of all body types reduces fat-shaming. But kindness toward yourself or others who are carrying extra pounds shouldn't make you blind to the health risks associated with obesity. Of course, that may be easier said than done. A study published in JAMA had 400 teens look at images of various human body types and asked them to identify their ideal. Special: [Dangers of Eating Spinach]( Those living in areas where obesity is more prevalent gravitated toward heavier figures — and that, suggest the researchers, makes excess weight and obesity contagious. If you're a teen living in a community where a lot of people are overweight, and you want to avoid or reverse health problems related to obesity such as sore joints, depression, and prediabetes or diabetes, here’s what you can do: Set up a virtual health spa with friends using videoconferencing. Establish seven goals or contests each week. Here's a few ideas to get started: - Monday: See who can eat the greatest variety of veggies. Take pictures, post information. Compare and compete. - Tuesday: How many stairs in your home or apartment building can you go up and down in three minutes? Post the videos. - Wednesday: Who can make the best soup? Set up a "Chopped" contest in which you all have the same ingredients. Have family members vote. You can take it from there. --------------------------------------------------------------- Special Message --------------------------------------------------------------- ADVERTORIAL Spinach is often 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 these extremely high oxalate levels. The problem with eating too much oxalates too frequently is that it 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 drinking green smoothies too often and had to go to the ER for kidney failure. In addition, the nutrients in spinach such as calcium and iron are very poorly absorbed by the human body, with a dismal 3-4% bioavailability. Compare that to the very high bioavailability (high absorption) of nutrients like iron and calcium in meat and dairy at 30-40% bioavailability. Overall, we believe that spinach has more cons than pros, and we avoid it. Dozens of our clients and friends have also reported dramatically improved digestion and less joint pain when eliminating leafy greens such as spinach.
