梅赫邁特 奧茲是美國著名的心臟外科醫(yī)生、《你： 主人手冊(cè)》的合著者以及歐普拉·溫弗莉的脫口秀節(jié)目里的長駐治療師--這里我們向大家展示一下他對(duì)保持生命活力的建議和做法…On September 14, Mehmet Oz -- cardiac surgeon, coauthor of You: The Owner's Manual, and longtime resident healer on The Oprah Winfrey Show -- launches a daytime talk show, The Dr. Oz Show.

    What advice do people never take?

    Maintain muscle mass. Frailty is a killer, and it can start very early in life. By the time you're 50, you're getting hunched over; even by 40, you're putting on weight because fat burns fewer calories than muscle does. You need to get some arduous daily physical activity, at the gym or just by doing some serious gardening. Yoga and tai chi are great for this, by the way. Done right, they help build strength.

    What advice do you yourself have the most trouble following?

    I have a really difficult time meditating. I used to try to rest my mind when I was on the treadmill, but I kept jumping off to jot down some great idea that was actually not great but seemed like it when I was running as fast as I could. What works for me is yoga; I do it every morning.

    How will you stay healthy, doing the TV show five days a week on top of surgery and everything else?

    I've tried to engineer things so that it's easy for me to do the right thing. I have exercise equipment in front of the TV. I need to watch Oprah every day, so I run on the elliptical trainer while I watch it. During the commercials, I do my weight work. It sounds dumb, but I get my workout in.

    What are the two most important things people should do to keep themselves young?

    Walk. When you can't walk a quarter mile in five minutes, your chance of dying within three years goes up dramatically. Second most important is building a community -- avoiding isolation. Because if your heart doesn't have a reason to keep beating, it won't.

    9月14日，梅赫邁特 奧茲（ Mehmet Oz） -- 心臟外科醫(yī)生、《你： 主人手冊(cè)》》（You: The Owner's Manual）的合著者、還是歐普拉·溫弗莉的脫口秀節(jié)目（The Oprah Winfrey Show ）里的長駐治療師--推出了一欄白天對(duì)話節(jié)目，"奧茲醫(yī)生秀（The Dr. Oz Show）".

    人們從來不采納什么建議？

    保持肌肉質(zhì)量。肌肉纖弱無力是殺手，這在生命中很早就初露端倪了。到了50歲，你就不知不覺地彎腰駝背了。甚至還沒到40歲，你的身體就慢慢發(fā)胖了，因?yàn)轶w內(nèi)脂肪消耗的卡路里比肌肉消耗的少。因此，你需要每天找些強(qiáng)度較大的體力活動(dòng)做，去健身館健身或只是認(rèn)真地做些園藝工作都行。練瑜伽和打太極拳對(duì)此也很好，如果鍛煉適度，它們都會(huì)有助于增強(qiáng)你身體的力量的。

    下列哪一條建議你最難遵循？

    我真的很難做到冥想。在跑步機(jī)上，我過去常常試圖讓自己的大腦平靜下來，不去思考，可是當(dāng)我以最快地速度跑步的時(shí)候，我總是不斷地跳下來，記錄那些算不上好，但又似乎很好的想法。對(duì)我見效的運(yùn)動(dòng)是練瑜伽，我每天早晨都練習(xí)。

    你每周做5天的電視節(jié)目，再加上外科手術(shù)還有其他所有的事情，你將如何同時(shí)保持身體健康呢？

    我盡量周密地計(jì)劃一切，以便我容易做這些事情。我把健身設(shè)備放在電視前面，我需要每天觀看歐普拉的節(jié)目。因此，我是一邊觀看，一邊在跑步機(jī)上跑。在商業(yè)廣告期間，我就練舉重。 這聽起來很好笑，可是我達(dá)到了健身的效果。

    要使自己保持青春活力，人們應(yīng)該做的兩件最重要的事情是什么？

    步行。當(dāng)你5分鐘內(nèi)不能走四分之一英里的時(shí)候，你三年內(nèi)死亡的幾率就會(huì)急劇上升。第二件最重要的事情就是不要回避社區(qū)活動(dòng)。因?yàn)槟愕男囊�是有理由一直跳�?dòng)下去，它就不會(huì)停止的。
