More quotes by Mehmet Oz
I've got so many weaknesses.
Mehmet Oz
You have to be going somewhere to have the energy you need to get there.
Mehmet Oz
I don't operate on smokers. I tell cigarette smokers that I can operate on you, I get paid the same. And you might even do well. But it's the wrong thing to do. So I refuse to operate on you until you stop smoking.
Mehmet Oz
I've always felt that, when I looked at my tombstone, it shouldn't say, 'Mehmet Oz banged out 10,000 open-heart operations.' I've probably done 5,000. Am I any better at it than 10,000? He shook his head. It's just a different number on the tombstone.
Mehmet Oz
I believe science has a wonderful ability, in an unbiased way, to offer hope to many people who are confused, but it's not the only way to find hope.
Mehmet Oz
If you can laugh your way through life, you can have a good time as you're going through the sometimes troubling time that we have in our lives.
Mehmet Oz
I think I'm a better doctor than I am a husband. I give myself a good grade as a doctor, then the next best grade as a father, and the worst grade as a husband.
Mehmet Oz
Whatever you choose, do it fully-with passion and childlike enthusiasm.
Mehmet Oz
Before you reach for the saltshaker, consider swapping your snacks for a healthier option.
Mehmet Oz
We're all human beings, but some of us are more sophisticated at covering our flaws. We're just smart enough to lie to ourselves that everything is OK.
Mehmet Oz
Our ancestors had to eat whenever food was around. And we're actually still hardwired the same way. The big difference is we don't have to hunt for our food. For us, hunting comes down to sliding the milk carton out of the way.
Mehmet Oz
We need a wholesale reevaluation of what health feels like. Most Americans don't even know what that is anymore. I want to tell people, Listen, there are places where you can focus on your health, and it can actually be simple.
Mehmet Oz
I used to bicycle to work across the George Washington Bridge, but my wife told me it wasn't professional.
Mehmet Oz
Not enough families eat together. We eat in front of the TV while we're absorbed in a program.
Mehmet Oz
I was lucky enough to marry a wonderful chef.
Mehmet Oz
Your genetics load the gun. Your lifestyle pulls the trigger.
Mehmet Oz
We don't walk. We overeat because we've made it easy to overeat. We have fast-food joints on every corner. By the way, the 'we' is all of us. It's not the government. It's all of us doing this together.
Mehmet Oz
Avoid buying frozen dinners and processed foods, as they are often overloaded with salt.
Mehmet Oz
I get up in the morning and do a seven-minute yoga workout. I know the most likely time I'm going to do something is when I first get up, and I make it short because, like you, I don't really want to do that first thing in the morning.
Mehmet Oz
Rather than munching on a bag of potato chips, stick to fresh fruit and veggies.
