Is there anyone on earth who does more to help us improve our health than Oprah? I say no! And she’s starting off 2009 with a new commitment to getting and being healthy while helping all of us do the same!
For those of you who missed Dr. Oz on Oprah yesterday, I’ve got your recap for you right here! He talked about eliminating from your diet the things I talked about on my Resolutions list last week, and then gave four things to add to your diet if they aren’t already in it. Some of these things are also discussed in other previous Fit After Thirty posts, but it can’t hurt to be reminded of all of the things you can do to redefine “fat” in 2009!
Get on a path to being *f.a.t. by incorporating the following things into your daily diet:
1. Antioxidants - He suggests these foods: tomatoes, blueberries, broccoli, kidney beans, artichokes, and dried prunes.
2. Omega 3 oils - 3g daily- He suggests: flaxseeds (ground), walnuts (12 per day), salmon, scallops, soybeans, squash, and olive oil
3. Fiber - 25g/day - He suggests: 100% whole grain oatmeal, lentils, black beans, peas, raspberries, pine nuts.
4. Multivitamin - If you are pre-menopausal, it should include iron and 5,000 units or less of Vitamin A, and for men and post-menopausal women, it should not include ironand only 2,500 units of Vitamin A.

I love Dr. Oz on Oprah, at least when I get a chance. Thanks for posting this. I get off from work at 5, so I don’t get to see this.
