Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Dr. Oz says there's an organ inside all of us that plays a key role in making us fat—the omentum. "This organ literally pumps chemicals into your body and it holds the secrets … to losing weight."The omentum is the fat organ connected to your stomach that's only purpose is to catch and store fat. When the fat is stored in your stomach, your body has easy access to it. The fat then creates an inflammatory process that irritates your arteries and puts you at risk for blocked arteries.A healthy omentum, like the one Oprah's holding, should be "lacy, like stockings," Dr. Oz says. "The omentum, you'll notice, is transparent and thin."An unhealthy omentum, like the one Dr. Oz holds, is heavy with fat. While the omentum he's holding is thick and fatty, Dr. Oz says the person it once belonged to—who died of heart disease—was just 30 to 40 pounds overweight."When someone's beer bellied, you know how it gets that tense, big look? That's this," he says. "That's [the omentum] pushing up against your stomach, and it coils up in there." http://www.oprah.com/health/yourbody/slide/20061102/yourbody_20061102_350_103.jhtml Sucker-punch spam with award-winning protection.

Do you like it?I noticed Dr. Oz and his colleague wear scrubs, hmmm, do you think that's psychological? So we actually "see" them as doctors?

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 They actually talked about that the last time he was on. He said that is what he wears to work every day, so it's just 'him'. I like the scrubs personally because I listen to him more than I would another 'suit'... Judy I noticed Dr. Oz and his colleague wear scrubs, hmmm, do you think that's psychological? So we actually "see" them as doctors? Not suited guys on Oprah? Cheap Talk? Check out Yahoo! Messenger's low PC-to-Phone call rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 That's a stellar question! I know that if you ever wear scrubs, they're the most comfortable clothes in the world! Maybe Oz just does it because he wants to be comfy being viewed by like a bajillion people LOL. Of course, he's not bad on the eyes either. I like your idea that there's the psychology involved... very crafty Jackie.. . Re: Belly Fat Thanks Judy, There was a lot of good information on that link. has anyone bought this book?
