梅赫迈特 奥兹是美国着名的心脏外科医生、《你： 主人手册》的合着者以及欧普拉·温弗莉的脱口秀节目里的长驻治疗师--这里我们向大家展示一下他对保持生命活力的建议和做法…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，梅赫迈特 奥兹（ Mehmet Oz） -- 心脏外科医生、《你： 主人手册》》（You: The Owner's Manual）的合着者、还是欧普拉·温弗莉的脱口秀节目（The Oprah Winfrey Show ）里的长驻治疗师--推出了一栏白天对话节目，"奥兹医生秀（The Dr. Oz Show）".

    人们从来不采纳什么建议？

    保持肌肉质量。肌肉纤弱无力是杀手，这在生命中很早就初露端倪了。到了50岁，你就不知不觉地弯腰驼背了。甚至还没到40岁，你的身体就慢慢发胖了，因为体内脂肪消耗的卡路里比肌肉消耗的少。因此，你需要每天找些强度较大的体力活动做，去健身馆健身或只是认真地做些园艺工作都行。练瑜伽和打太极拳对此也很好，如果锻炼适度，它们都会有助于增强你身体的力量的。

    下列哪一条建议你最难遵循？

    我真的很难做到冥想。在跑步机上，我过去常常试图让自己的大脑平静下来，不去思考，可是当我以最快地速度跑步的时候，我总是不断地跳下来，记录那些算不上好，但又似乎很好的想法。对我见效的运动是练瑜伽，我每天早晨都练习。

    你每周做5天的电视节目，再加上外科手术还有其他所有的事情，你将如何同时保持身体健康呢？

    我尽量周密地计划一切，以便我容易做这些事情。我把健身设备放在电视前面，我需要每天观看欧普拉的节目。因此，我是一边观看，一边在跑步机上跑。在商业广告期间，我就练举重。 这听起来很好笑，可是我达到了健身的效果。

    要使自己保持青春活力，人们应该做的两件最重要的事情是什么？

    步行。当你5分钟内不能走四分之一英里的时候，你三年内死亡的几率就会急剧上升。第二件最重要的事情就是不要回避社区活动。因为你的心要是有理由一直跳动下去，它就不会停止的。
