My dad, who is a heart surgeon, works with many adult patients who did not take good care of their bodies in their formative years. He is able to teach them how to break old eating and exercise habits and reshape their bodies, but not without a great deal of resistance.
Daphne Oz
The only reason I write at all is because I am going through, and growing through, something in my life I want to share with others through my personal experiences.
Daphne Oz
I didn't grow up eating meat - I was a vegetarian until I was 18.
Daphne Oz
Make sure you eat whole foods that are good for your entire body. This doesn't mean that you can't enjoy your food or make room for plenty of indulgences. But your conscious goal has to be to eat for long term health and what you do most of the time is what really counts.
