Dr. Oz wants you to cleanse your body, but that doesn't mean drinking only pineapple juice for the next seven days. Instead, he's offering a 48-hour plan consisting of six meals and eight snacks which will naturally optimize your body's ability to breakdown all the toxins you've been consuming throughout your entire life.

According to the Oprah Magazine contributor and healthy lifestyle guru, this short and easy cleanse will not effect both your body and your mind by giving you "a sense of peace."

If you're worried you may be depressed, it may be time to make some dietary changes. Nutritional therapy practitioner and FitPerez correspondent Margaux J. Rathbun believes vitamin B is the key to happiness, writing:

Depression is a condition that affects many people around the world. From feeling constantly fatigued to having severe headaches, the symptoms of depression can really affect the way people think, act, and feel. Fortunately, changes in our diet can help us feel better. Be sure that you are eating foods rich in B vitamins, like whole grains and leafy green vegetables.

I like to include happiness/healing-promoting foods that include watercress, black beans, broccoli, and spinach in my diet. These foods will help improve nerve function and give you a natural boost of energy. Also be sure to include plenty of good fats in your diet from foods like avocados, nuts, chia seeds from The Chia Co, flax seeds, Barlean’s cold-pressed organic coconut oil, and olives. Some herbs that can aid in mood-boosting include skullcap, St. John’s Wort, lemon balm, and chamomile. Avoid eating artificial foods full of additives as this can make you feel worse. Fresh is best!

This story gives an entirely new meaning to the phrase, "mind over matter", as well as new hope to the disabled population all over the world!

Tim Hemmes became the first man EVER to control a robotic arm with his mind this month, years after a nearly fatal motorcycle accident left him paralyzed from the neck down.

In a 30-day clinical trial of a program called "Revolutionizing Prosthetics", Tim had electrodes inserted into his brain that allowed him to control a robotic arm.

It wasn't an easy process, but by the end of it, he was able to give the scientists responsible for this breakthrough a high-five and even hold his girlfriends hand for the first time since since his accident.

"It wasn't my arm. It was something hydraulic and plastic and metal, but I put it there," he says of the triumph. "It was something very personal and something that I'll take with me for the rest of my life, ’cause I just reached out and grabbed somebody after seven years."

So touching! Check out the video above to hear the rest of Tim's inspiring story and to catch a glimpse of what the future may hold for all spinal chord patients!

Literally!

People in their 50s and 60s have reported experiencing short bouts of amnesia after having hot, sweaty sex!

We added the "hot, sweaty" part in for effect, it could have been cold, awkward, and disappointing, but still — that's crazy!

The Journal of Emergency Medicine told the story of a 54-year-old woman who began experiencing an episode of temporary global amnesia an hour after having sex.

She arrived at Georgetown University Hospital with her husband, unable to remember the past 24 hours, but all symptoms had cleared by the time she left the emergency room.

The condition is so rare, affecting only about 3 to 5 people per 100,000 each year, that doctors aren't exactly sure how or why it happens.

The best "guess" is that the amnesia is triggered by raising the pressure inside the abdomens, called a valsalva maneuver, during a strenuous physical activity. Sources explain further, writing:

"The increased pressure increases the resistance to blood flowing down the jugular veins, and insufficient valves may allow deoxygenated blood to push back up the neck. Oxygen-poor blood then "piles up" in the veins draining the brain, especially in central brain regions that are key to memory formation. The result could be transient amnesia."

Apparently, this bad reaction has only ever been reported to occur in patients once during their lifetime.

In 1964, a man's memory was instantly wiped from his mind the moment he orgasmed, which as you can imagine, must have been pretty frightening for his partner.

There are a number of reasons you should meditate (it increases calmness of mind and well-being), but a recent study found that people who mediate age less quickly than those who don’t.

Scientists say that the calming and anti-stress aspects of meditation are what help keep people who meditate young.

"You pay attention to your own breath," explains Sara Lazar, a neuroscientist who studies the effects of meditation at Massachusetts general hospital in Boston. "If your mind wanders, you don't get discouraged, you notice the thought and think, 'OK'."

Meditating ISN’T hard — it just takes some self-discipline to get started! What you wating for?!!
