A Dr. Weil Favorite: Turmeric Tea

Turmeric tea is the traditional favorite drink in Okinawa, which may help explain why its citizens are among the longest-living people in the world. Numerous studies have established that turmeric has wide-ranging anti-inflammatory effects, and may be particularly effective in lowering the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Weil demonstrates a simple way to brew the tea, which may be enjoyed hot or iced.

Watch this video on how to make turmeric tea.

Breathing To Help Manage Holiday Stress

Including breathwork into your daily routine can lower stress, improving overall health – useful particularly during the hectic holidays. The 4-7-8 (Relaxing) Breath can help: it is utterly simple, takes little time, requires no special equipment, and can be done anywhere. Although you can do the exercise in any position, sit with your back straight while learning the exercise. Place the tip of your tongue against the ridge of tissue just behind your upper front teeth and keep it there through the entire exercise. You will be exhaling through your mouth around your tongue; try pursing your lips slightly if this seems awkward.

  • Exhale completely through your mouth, making a whoosh sound.
  • Close your mouth and inhale quickly and quietly through your nose to a mental count of four.
  • Hold your breath for a count of seven.
  • Exhale slowly and completely through your mouth, making a whoosh sound to a count of eight.
  • This is one breath. Now inhale again and repeat the cycle three more times for a total of four breaths.

Note that you always inhale quietly through your nose and exhale audibly through your mouth. The tip of your tongue stays in position the whole time. Exhalation takes twice as long as inhalation. The absolute time you spend on each phase is not important; the ratio of 4:7:8 is important. If you have trouble holding your breath, speed the exercise up, but keep to the ratio of 4:7:8 for the three phases. With practice you can slow it all down and begin inhaling and exhaling more and more deeply.

Watch as Dr. Weil practices the 4-7-8 Breathtechnique, and then practice it yourself!

4 Effective Ways To Enhance Lung Health

Today we look at the ways you can promote healthy lungs. In addition to prudent supplementation and a diet rich in beta-carotene and other antioxidants, simple lifestyle steps can help promote healthy lungs for a lifetime. A focus here will not only lower your risk of lung cancer, but our experience with arespiratory virus during Covidshould inspire us all to have the lungs in the best shape possible year round.

  1. Don’t smoke or vape. Tobacco addiction is the single greatest cause of preventable illness, greatly increasing the risks of developing lung cancer and respiratory diseases.
  2. Get regular exercise. It helps promote healthy lung function and optimal oxygen delivery throughout the body. Make sure to find the kinds of exercise that really get you breathing hard for bursts of time. Work with your doctor on finding the best exercises you can safely perform.
  3. Avoid exposure to environmental air pollutants. High ozone levels, smog, car exhaust, asbestos and metal dusts are unhealthy for lungs and can lead to lung disease. Use a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter to reduce exposure to smoke and smog and wear a protective mask when you are in close proximity to lung irritants such as drywall dust or fiberglass insulation fibers.
  4. Limit exposure to toxic household cleaners. Chlorine bleach, petroleum distillates, ammonia, formaldehyde and nitrobenzene can harm the lungs. Use safer alternatives without these concerns for cleaning such as baking soda, lemon juice, and vinegar.

It is also prudent to practice deep breathing exercises regularly to increase lung capacity, improve respiratory efficiency, and promote general relaxation, as well as to maintain a normal weight: excess pounds tax both the heart and lungs. If you’re overweight, you’re more likely to experience shortness of breath.

Set Your Day Up For Success: 6 Things To Try

When planning your grocery list for this week’s meals, spend time focusing on the first meal of the day! It’s easy to eat right in the morning: the ideal breakfast should provide one quarter to one third of your day’s protein, a fair amount of fiber (as found in low-glycemic carbohydrates) and some healthy fat. Here are some quick, healthful ideas on food to buy:

  1. Canned, wild Alaskan salmon. The traditional Japanese breakfast features broiled fish, steamed rice, pickled vegetables and green tea. Using canned, wild Alaskan salmon along with leftover rice and vegetables makes this a quick meal.
  2. Granola and yogurt. Choose granola or make one that’s high in fiber and low in sugar or other sweeteners and use a half serving or less, and opt for a protein source like full-fat plain Greek yogurt, some organic berries and walnuts.
  3. Eggs. Keep some hardboiled eggs (choose free-range, omega-3 fortified eggs) on hand to eat with sprouted grain toast. Include a piece of fruit like an orange or grapefruit and a serving of plain, unsweetened yogurt. There are also a number of egg bite options to heat up if you do not have the time to prepare your own eggs. Be sure to scan the ingredients list and confirm you recognize them all and it is a food you could make from scratch if you had the time. Also discard the container they recommend heating them up in if you are using a microwave and instead place on a ceramic or glass dish.
  4. Dark, leafy greens. Spinach, kale and other dark, leafy greens are a nutritious addition to any breakfast – use with your eggs to create a vegetable scramble. These nutrition powerhouses can be easily added to smoothies without altering the taste.
  5. Berries. Choose organic blueberries or raspberries for their fiber and antioxidants – add to your yogurt or top steel-cut oatmeal with a handful.
  6. Coffee or green tea. Coffee is a good source of antioxidants, and research has linked coffee to a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes as well as improved mental health as you age. I suggest finding an organic or fair-trade version. If coffee causes side effects such as anxiety, tremors or irritation of the digestive system, try organic green tea – it is a very healthy, lower caffeine alternative. Avoid the fake creamers that contain inflammatory hydrogenated oils and sweeteners. If needed, lighten with unsweetened almond or cashew milk.
