September 6, 2011 - Vol. 4 Issue 27 Dr. Mehmet Oz's Best Advice for SUCCESS Readers Your five most pressing questions answered. SLEEP SUCCESS Reader: My days are jam packed. Between work, family and social obligations, I find it hard to relax when it comes time to sleep and let the day slip away. I get fewer hours of sleep and feel tired the next day. Now repeat that 6 days a week. Help! Dr. Mehmet Oz: Well first, you need to make sleep a priority. During sleep, your body restores the growth hormone that is necessary for vitality. With the adequate amount of sleep, you actually improve your health. You will lose weight, as your appetite will diminish, as will your chances for viral infections, heart disease and strokes. Set yourself up with a sleep plan. Make your bed a sanctuary. Try to avoid doing anything in bed other than sleeping. Turn the temperature down a few degrees and lower the bedroom lights 30 minutes before sleeping. Of course, don't eat any chocolate or drink coffee as these are stimulants and will awaken the body. If all else fails, don't force yourself to sleep. If after 15 minutes you are not asleep, do something low impact such as read a book or yoga. No lights necessary. You just need that extra nudge to nighttime bliss. ON THE GO Q: My family life is hectic. Between soccer practice and ballet, we hardly have time to sit down and eat? How can we eat healthy "on the road"? A: My personal food adage, "Eat food that comes out of the ground looking the way it does when you eat it." Eat broccoli and carrots with fat-free ranch. Thankfully, eating healthy is a growing trend in fast food restaurants. Also, be strategic about where you eat; how many grams of fat, sodium and protein the foods contain. Make family dinner a requirement at least three days a week. There are numerous websites and books devoted to healthy cooking for the on-the-go parent. I urge you to check these out and increase not only your family health, but your family attitude as well. EXERCISE Q: I want to work out, but I am exhausted after work. How can I incorporate more exercise into my everyday life? Click here to read the rest of Dr. Oz's advice on SUCCESS.com. LATEST BLOG POST I Want to Rename This Magazine by Darren Hardy As a society, I think we often misunderstand the word success. Our society celebrates those who obtain fame, wealth, power and celebrity, no matter the means—ethical or not—and we call them successful. Success is often equated to an achieved status, rather than to a measure of value or contribution. We are taught early in life to strive for success, to achieve the status—win the trophy, get the notable degree, land the big position, win the impressive title, acquire the bigger house, bring back the enviable vacation photos and collect the cars, boats, jewels and big bank account. And when we are waving from the mountaintop, having finally achieved these trappings of "success," we often feel a stark emptiness inside. What's wrong? We might have acquired everything we ever wanted, except the one thing that really matters—significance. We want to know that our lives meant something, that we've had a positive impact on the lives of others. And only significance provides that; success by itself cannot. The interesting thing is you can be successful and not significant, but you cannot be significant without being successful. In 2007, when we took over the stewardship of this legendary magazine, we decided not to change the name. Instead we have attempted to change the definition of success. We see success as......
