Dr. Michael Breus joined Dr. Oz today to discuss the difference between sleep disorders and disordered sleep. Apparently 85% of our sleep problems are lifestyle related.

Primary sleep disorders are much less common but include conditions such as narcolepsy, sleep apnea, and restless leg syndrome. These are physical-neurological dysfunctions that need to be treated under a doctor’s care and may require medication. Yet for the vast majority of insomnia sufferers, environmental and common medical problems are the source of the problem.

Dr Oz What Causes Insomnia


That means there are simple lifestyle changes you can make in your daily routine that may dramatically improve the amount and quality of sleep you get each night. Common insomnia triggers include stress, depression, certain medications (e.g. beta blockers, anti-histamines, or anti-depressants), caffeine, alcohol, shift work, and underlying health problems. These factors can all impact our ability to fall or stay asleep. Insomnia is also more likely to strike women and older individuals due to hormonal changes and shifting sleep patterns.


The main causes for insomnia can be broken up into 3 different categories:
1. Environmental/situational
2. Medical or psychiatric
3. Primary sleep disorders

Dr Oz used 3 beds to explain the 3 Secrets behind their insomnia.

The Secrets Behind Your Insomnia


1. Insomnia Secret #1 could be due to due medications

2. Insomnia Secret #2 Anxiety -- Such as Health care issues, your job, relationships, health problems, finances, etc.

3. Insomnia Secret #3 -- Snoring

Dr. Breus says an excellent remedy for that is to count backwards from 300 by 3's. Reason being it is so darn boring that you will fall asleep.

Sleep medications may be helpful for some insomnia sufferers, but before you reach for the pills, consider some easy tips for better sleeping:

Evaluate your sleep hygiene Avoid watching TV, eating, or working in bed. Make the bedroom a sanctuary for sleep. Keep the temperature a few degrees cooler than the rest of the house and hide bedroom clocks so you’re not constantly checking the time as you try to fall asleep. Try sticking to a sleep schedule and limiting naps or daytime sleeping.

Get active Thirty minutes of exercise each day (at least 5 to 6 hours before bedtime) will help you get more restful sleep at night.

Avoid triggers Caffeine, alcohol and nicotine or large meals before bedtime can disrupt your ability to fall asleep and remain asleep throughout the night. Though many people use alcohol to get to sleep initially – alcohol actually compromises the quality of sleep you get overnight.

Check your medication Make sure they don’t contain stimulants. Talk to your doctor about other options if you think your prescriptions are preventing you from getting good sleep.

Stressful life events also commonly trigger insomnia. If you think anxiety is the underlying problem behind your insomnia, relaxation techniques such as progressive muscle relaxation, biofeedback and deep breathing exercises may be helpful techniques to fight off tension at bedtime.


Myths About Pimples


Dr. Oz talks about "The Pimple" and what causes them, and what gets rid of them.

After the really gross re-enactment of a giant pimple with a white head, Dr. Oz and his assistant popped a pimple.

How To Pop A Pimple




The correct way of popping pimples is to wait until the white head of the pimple is raised from the skin. Step one is to clean the area with alcohol thoroughly and then wipe of with a clean cloth. Next sterilize a needle either with a flame or with alcohol and insert the needle into the head of the pimple on a slant and lift up to bust it. Do not jab the needle straight down into the whitehead.

Learn the proper way to get rid of a pimple - and it doesn't involve popping! Also, Dr. Oz debunks common pimple myths:

1. Squeezing a pimple will help it go away faster
2. Pimples are a problem of adolescence, not adulthood
3. Eating chocolate makes acne worse

4. Fight pimples with these simple tips:
5. Flaxseed
6. Zinc supplement
7. Sea Buckthorn oil
8. Use a cleanser with salicylic acid

Dr. Oz recommended us products containing Salicylic Acid for treating acne, or benzoyl peroxide.

Lalita And Zyanae Weight Loss Results


Dr. Oz teaches Mom and Daughter it is all about lifestyle changes for their weight loss. Lalita lost 14 pounds and Zyanae lost 6 pounds. Dr. Oz says they will fail on their diet because they do not eat enough food. They are not following a Healthy Meal Plan which is a common dieting mistake of not eating enough food. It leads to Yo Yo dieting.

Dr. Oz recommended they have a combination of Cereal, fibre, and fruit for breakfast

For lunch eat a rainbow of colors such as reds, greens and purples. Have a bulky sandwich to control the hunger, and to have snacks broken up through the day consisting of whole grain crackers and cheese. For dinner Oz recommends eating fish such as salmon, and lots of green vegetables.

Dr. Oz said the daily Calorie intake for women should be 1800 Calories. Lalita and Zanyae were consuming 748 calories and the other one was consuming 578. They could never continue on a diet with such few calories.

Dr Oz Dieting Mistakes


As with Lalita And Zyanae they aren't eating enough and all too often, those seeking to lose weight practice deprivation diets. When you don’t eat enough, your metabolism slows and your body senses deprivation and starts and emergency storage of the calories you do consume.

What are Dr. Oz’s tips for avoiding the deprivation diet?

EAT! Eat every 3-4 hours and eat healthy foods like those below.

Breakfast
Your body needs fuel to start the day, and when it’s deprived of food for longer than 12 hours, your metabolic rate can lower by 40%.

A high-fiber cereal with a banana for potassium and 1% (or soy) milk is a good start. Or you can make Dr. Oz’s Magical Breakfast Blaster, a power-packed breakfast you can take on the go.

Lunch
Try 3 ounces of lean meat, like turkey on whole grain bread. A hummus spread will add lots of fiber, protein and flavor. Include a piece of fruit as a natural sugar boost.

Dinner
The equation for a healthy dinner is 1/3 lean protein, 1/3 fiber or carbs and the rest should be vegetables. Try 4 oz. of salmon, rice and veggies!

Snack throughout the day on nuts, fruit and yogurt.
