based diet is good for disease pre- vention. Dr. Oz cites a Harvard study showing that people who ate less red meat lowered their risk of early death by nearly 20 percent. Diets without red meat, he says, generally have fewer calories and less cholesterol and fat. Take 2 low-dose aspirin a day. Dr. Oz is impressed by an American Cancer Society study that showed taking aspirin could lower the risk of dying from some cancers by 40 percent. In addition, aspirin has long been known to help prevent heart attacks. Stand at least 5 minutes per hour. Break that sedentary lifestyle hab- it! Your risk for high blood pres- sure, cancer, diabetes, and heart disease increases if you sit more than four hours a day, according to a Kansas State University study cited by the doctor.
Eat 4 tablespoons of tomato paste a day. Do this for your heart, Dr. Oz advises, noting that tomato paste contains lycopene, an antioxidant that helps keep arteries open and
fl exible, enabling the cardiovas- cular system to function better. When your heart doesn’t work correctly your other organs work harder to make up for it. Why to- mato paste? Because it has more lycopene than fresh tomatoes, the doctor says, due to the heating and canning process. Bonus: It can lower your LDL “bad” cholesterol. Get 1,200 mg of calcium every day. Do this for your kidneys, Dr. Oz says. This will help prevent kid- ney stones. There are lots of ways to get calcium from your diet, in- cluding yogurt, spinach, kale, and low-fat milk.
Eat two avocados a week. This will help your liver, which detoxifi es your body and blood. According to Dr. Oz: “Avocados contain the ingredient glutathione, which pro- tects you from damage caused by toxins.” The heart surgeon has also
stressed the importance of things you should not eat and urges you to check the ingredients on what you buy so you know what to avoid.

changes in healthcare coverage have emerged. And technology increasingly has come to dominate many areas of our lives, aff ecting the way we work, communicate, and socialize, and even the way doctors practice medicine. Dr. Oz has chronicled these changes every step of the way on his show.
THE ORIGIN OF HIS STAR POWER
Born in Cleveland in 1960 to parents who emigrated from Turkey, Mehmet Oz knew at a young age that he wanted to be a doctor just like his father.
He received his bachelor’s degree
from Harvard University, where he played football and water polo. Then he earned his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania and his MBA from the Wharton School of Business before completing his medical residency at Columbia University in New York City. He and his wife, Lisa, met at a family
dinner arranged by their fathers, both heart surgeons; they’ve been married since 1985 and have four grown children, as well as grandchildren.
