On the September 10 premiere episode of The Doctors, girlfriends reveal their guys’ harmful habits and ask for help.
The Doctors get these couples set on the right track for health through simple but lasting solutions. Sedentary lifestyles, a problem for many, are extremely detrimental, and the doctors tell viewers that sitting for 11 hours a day or more increases your chance of death by 40 percent! They encourage the use of fitness apps and trackers as well as short high-intensity workouts like Crossfit.
Another big problems The Doctors address is too much sugar in the diet. Their simple solution is to drink more water, which can decrease daily calories by 20 percent. Along with too much sugar are bad eating habits, like not getting enough fruits and veggies, so the doctors recommend a fruit, vegetable, and protein smoothie. We’ve got the recipe for you!
