to lower blood sugar in three ways-- in the stomach, the liver and the pancreas. and while it isn't for weight loss, victoza? may help you lose some weight. non-insulin victoza? comes in a pen and is taken once a day. (announcer) victoza? is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and is not for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. do not take victoza? if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza? or any of its ingredients. stop taking victoza? and call your doctor right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck or if you develop any allergic symptoms including itching, rash, or difficulty breathing. serious side effects may happen, including pancreatitis. so, stop taking victoza? and call your doctor right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area. tell your doctor your medical history. taking victoza? with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar.

de effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. now's the time for a better moment of proof. ask your doctor about victoza?. wahhhh... right. in. your. stomach! watch this!... >>yikes, that ice cream was messing with you, wasn't it? try lactaid, it's real ice cream, without that annoying lactose. lactaid. it's the milk that doesn't mess with you. it's the little things in life that make me smile. ip for hold, because my dentures fit well. before those little pieces would get in between my dentures and my gum and it was uncomfortable. even well fitting dentures let in food particles. just a few dabs of super poligrip free is clinically proven to seal out more food particles so you're more comfortable and confident while you eat. so it's not about keeping my dentures in, it's about keeping the food particles out.

>> do you want to know how fit you really are? i don't. we're about to show you a set of exercises you can do right now that will test your strength and endurance. billy and tamron are up for the challenge. you can tell by the fact billy has his hands on his hips. dr. natalie azar is back to put them to the test. these are exercises anyone can do at home.

demonstrate how easily you can work out at home but number two, to see if you can do these simple exercises. are you doing them correctly? if not, figure out how to do it. first one i'm going to do, i demonstrated this an hour ago. it's called the popcorn pushup. plank position. hands under your shoulders. you go down. grab a piece of popcorn with your mouth. the whole point of that is when you do a real pushup, you have to get down low. >> b w as you know i'm not a fan of working out. >> do you want to do it on your knees? >> i'll do it the regular way. my point is for people at home you don't have to be buff and working out. >> start out being able to do ten pushups without practicing. >> okay. >> i spit on you. >> popcorn flying there. >> let's do this. all right. in a plank first. excellent. you'll go all of the way down and try to grab a piece of popcorn with your mouth and back

we have to go to the next one. >> that's it? >> straighten it up. one more. >> how many you got, billy bush? >> one more. >> this is your moment. >> i can't do it. >> next one is simple. it's more difficult than it looks. it's balance. as we goes. it means falls as you get older. >> you didn't fall. you fell on purpose. you know you can do this. >> awesome. wonderful. all kinds of activities for balance you want to do. billy is having trouble. >> i think the key is you have to go back. you can't just think about it. you have to go. maybe that's better. >> he's showing off. >> this is actually really

blowing up a balloon is definitely a measure of your lung capacity. that means how deeply you can take a deep breath in and how well you get oxygen into your muscles which helps in an aerobic workout. don't stretch it. that's cheating. blow up balloons every day like 10 to 15 times and increases lung capacity like aerobic exercise does. you can blow it up. let blow it up. >> so birthday clowns probably have -- >> blow it up. guess what? if you get dizzy or light-headed doing this a number of times means that your aerobic capacity is not that high. >> you can do multiple. you're showing off. >> it's going to pop. >> last thing is a karate kick.
