Dr Oz Show comes to the UK!

Dr Mehmet Oz has been a star in the US for some time, he is a Harvard trained heart surgeon and became famous through appearing on Oprah. He promotes simple wholefoods approaches to health and wellbeing. I first heard of Dr Oz when he was mentioned in Kris Carr’s Crazy Sexy Diet, so when I heard that his show was going to be aired in the UK I was definitely going to be watching!

I was lucky enough to be able to preview tonight’s episode featuring our very own Jamie Oliver. This episode seems to have been filmed off the back of Jamie’s America book release – I watched his shows (as I have with pretty much all of Jamie’s TV shows) and really enjoyed it.

Jamie gives 4 of his top tips for things you should change in the kitchen to be healthier including making your own salad dressing, using more seasonal and local vegetables, stir frying instead of deep frying and his top ‘go to recipe’.

His tips are simple and straightforward, and I really fancied cooking up a big stir fry after watching! I love Jamie’s approach of ‘pimping' it up’ with added flavours to make things like salad and vegetables more appetising. Dr Oz also adds lots of information about why nutritionally, the changes are so important.

You can find more information about the Dr Oz Show on his site and as well as a range of healthy recipes. The risotto using oats instead of rice sounds intriguing!

You can check out the Dr Oz Show on Discovery Home and Health Channel, 7pm every day, the Jamie Oliver episode is being aired tonight.
