Exercise Is Really Good for You. Like, REALLY Good for You
Healthcare Triage: Dr. Aaron Carroll
2015-08-11 (6:35)
What are the benefits of exercise? Is exercise all that good for you? Yes, yes, and yes. Studies overwhelmingly indicate that exercise has a LOT of benefits. I wrote a piece on exercise and weight for The New York Times a couple months ago, and I'm going to talk about that next week. But a lot of people took that column to mean that exercise isn't important or helpful. That's so wrong that I want to address that first. Exercise, and the good it can do you, is the topic of this week's Healthcare Triage.Source: Healthcare Triage: Dr. Aaron Carroll
The Exercise Cure
Dr. Jordan Metzl: Talks At Google
2014-03-31 (39:00)
As Dr. Jordan Metzl says, "Exercise is medicine." It's the simplest way to keep yourself healthy and happy. Now he puts that philosophy—along with cutting-edge research and a motivational bedside manner—into a groundbreaking book split into three sections. First, an AZ list of maladies that affect quality of life for millions, along with the specific exercise prescriptions that will help fix them—from Type 2 diabetes to depression, from arthritic joints to PMS, from addiction to sleep apnea (the book also includes a special section on how exercise can help cancer treatment). Second, a doctor-approved eating plan to fuel fast weight loss and great workouts. And most important of all, an exhaustive (and exhausting) collection of fun, fat-torching, life-changing workouts that can be tailored for any fitness level.Dr. Metzl, a regular contributor to the Today show, is also a 9-time Ironman triathlete and 29-time marathoner. He's an inspiring guide as both a medical expert and an athlete who knows what it takes to work up a healthy sweat.

How "normal people" can train like the worlds best endurance athletes
Dr. Stephen Seiler:
2019-12-02 (17:38)
In this talk, Dr Seiler explains in words and pictures how modern exercise physiology laboratories reveal the body’s remarkable capacity for adaptation. He also tells us about the “laboratories” developed by athletes and coaches since the start of the Cold War in the 1950s. The laboratory of the scientist and the laboratory of the coach/athlete come together as Dr. Seiler describes his own journeys back and forth between them. By connecting the power of both, we have learned why “no pain no gain” is a slick slogan, but a fundamentally flawed approach to getting faster and fitter over time. Stephen Seiler has spent years studying the training habits of great endurance athletes. What he discovered has shattered the myths he grew up with in the US. Let him tell you why going “green” is also important for building endurance sustainably.Source: Dr. Stephen Seiler:

What Will Happen to Your Body If You Walk Every Day
Bright Side
2018-04-15 (10:08)
Walking is a totally free, easy exercise that requires little effort, and benefits not only your physical but also your mental well-being. If you’re looking for a simple yet very effective way of losing weight and improving your overall health, walking is something just for you.People who are physically active throughout their life are much less prone to this disease than those who have a more sedentary lifestyle. And that’s because they have more volume in their hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for verbal memory and learning.
A daily half-hour walk helps avoid serious problems, like coronary heart disease to name one, by lowering high blood pressure and cholesterol levels and improving blood circulation. Because of better-quality and deeper breathing, some symptoms associated with lung disease can show significant improvement thanks to walking.
Muscle tone and weight loss is also totally achievable through simple walking. Find your optimal pace, but don’t break out into a jog. This sort of speed walking is low impact and doesn’t require any recovery time, which means no sore muscles to keep you from getting out and walking the next day.
The Arthritis Foundation recommends at least 30 minutes of moderate walking a day to reduce pain, stiffness, and inflammation in the joints. Building strong bones will help you prevent osteoporosis and reduce bone loss. Walking contributes to better blood circulation within the spinal structures, pumping important nutrients into the soft tissues and improving posture and flexibility, both of which are vital for a healthy spine.
A group of researchers at Iowa State University worked with hundreds of college students. Walking changed their mood for the better, even though no one warned them it could do so.
If you still don’t feel motivated enough to start walking for your health, try joining a class or find a buddy who also wouldn’t mind getting all the benefits of walking. Another idea could be to hire a personal trainer.

Exercise - The Secret for Healthy Old Age
Professor Janet Lord FMedSci, Professor of Immune Cell Biology at the University of Birmingham: Academy of Medical Sciences
2018-06-25 (43:00)
With people living longer, Professor Lord explains her research into why people age differently, how much of immune aging is lifestyle related, and why exercise and caloric restriction can help us live healthier, for longer.Professor Lord works in the field of geriatrics, studying the variability of ageing and life expectancy. While we all age throughout our lives, there is large inequality in how long people live for and whether or not they enjoy good health in the last years of their lives. In this talk, she looks at how our immune systems respond to getting old (immune ageing), frailty, the impact of diet, physical activity or inactivity, smoking and alcohol. Professor Lord explains the cellular mechanisms behind why our immune systems fail with age and struggle to stop many diseases, including autoimmune diseases and cancers, and asks - why do Japanese people tend to live longer, healthier lives?
Professor Lord also talks briefly about her own career in biomedical research, from an stressed postdoc with a young child to a professorship, and the importance of having a cunning plan...
This second part of the talk is part of the Academy of Medical Sciences MedSciLife project, encouraging researchers at all stages of their careers to talk about how they manage their work-life balance. Find out more about the project at http://medscilife.org/

Exercise is good for the heart and makes you look good. However, there are much more compelling reasons to exercise regularly.Exercise is good for the heart and makes you look good. However, there are much more compelling reasons to exercise regularly.
The human brain is an exceedingly complex organ, and while we don't fully understand it, it is what we have to use to understand and interact with the world around us. Research is showing that there is a very powerful connection between the nervous system and movement. Exercise has been shown to facilitate the growth of new neurons, paving the way for greater intelligence.

Harvard Professor Reveals How Exercise Affects Our Immunity and How We Age
Professor Daniel Lieberman, Harvard University
2021-02-14 (11:18)
How does physical activity play a role in the immune system and how does exercise affect how we age?This Bitesize clip is from episode 128 of the podcast with Dr Daniel Lieberman - a paleoanthropologist and Professor of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University.
The immune system, like every system in the body, is affected by physical activity. One of the key ways to keep ourselves healthy is to stay physically active.
Daniel takes us through data that shows that moderate levels of activity upregulate key components of the immune system. He explains that when we’re moderately active we produce more immune cells which can kill cells that become infected by viruses. Conversely, by being inactive, we can directly increase our vulnerability to illnesses like respiratory tract infections.
We sometimes think that we should become less active as we get older, but this doesn’t seem to be the case. Daniel explains that when we’re physically active we turn on lots of repair and maintenance mechanisms in the body, and that physical activity is really important in slowing processes of ageing and decreasing disease.
Finally, Daniel gives some of his best tips for staying healthy and active.

Exercised: Why Something We Never Evolved to Do Is Healthy and Rewarding

Daniel Lieberman, professor of human evolutionary biology at Harvard University, a pioneering researcher on the evolution of human physical activity, and the acclaimed author of The Story of the Human Body, will present his new book, Exercised: Why Something We Never Evolved to Do Is Healthy and Rewarding.Does running ruin your knees? Should we do weights, cardio, or high-intensity training? If exercise is good for you, why do many people dislike or avoid it? Exercised tells the story of how humans never evolved to exercise—to do voluntary physical activity for the sake of health. Using his own research and experiences throughout the world, Lieberman recounts without jargon how and why humans evolved to walk, run, dig, and do other necessary and rewarding physical activities while avoiding needless exertion. Drawing on insights from evolutionary biology and anthropology, he suggests how we can make exercise more enjoyable, rather than shaming and blaming people for avoiding it. He also tackles the question of whether you can exercise too much, even as he explains why exercise can reduce our vulnerability to the diseases most likely to make us sick and kill us.

Why We Quit Our Exercise Plans And What We Can Do About It
Simon Long: TEDxLoughboroughU
2016-12-13 (16:15)
Why we quit our exercise plans and what we can do about it will explore the critical issue of the weight loss industry as it currently stands. That issue being excessive restriction on personal choice and a gross misunderstanding of what constitutes exercise. As the obesity epidemic has prevailed through society an increasing amount of reliance based options have been provided. However, if a behavioral change over conforms to reliance then that change will only last as long as the support. Through education of the broad definition of exercise, combined with a method to discover what exercises excite them, individuals can create exercise plans that are not only enjoyable, but effective. This talk aims to provide that education, using a combination of self-efficacy theory and self-efficacy transference to provide individuality and variance to training plans. This will allow the avoidance of boredom, the achievement of adherence and the realisation of goals.In his early 20s Simon was an obese 36% body fat, with low feelings of self-worth and non-existent confidence. Having tried every weight loss plan available he came to the conclusion that none of them worked, and set out to find why. By exploring the rarity of long term weight loss he managed to design a approach to the problem. After years of research and testing, speaking to top professors in the fields of nutrition, physiology and psychology, a new ethos was born and its principles tested. 9 months later he was an athletic 6.5% body fat.
Simon lost one third of his starting body weight safely, healthily, and sustainably. After his transformation Simon became a personal trainer, teaching his principles to clients, allowing them to reach their own goals. More recently Simon enrolled in Loughborough University, where he has the aim of earning his PHD. This will allow him to evolve his new approach and change the landscape of safe and sustainable weight loss forever.

Why Walking Is The Superpower You Didn’t Know You Had with Professor Shane O’Mara
Shane O'Mara, professor of experimental brain research at Trinity College Dublin: Dr. Rangan Chatterjee
2019-11-20 (1:20:40)
When was the last time you gave any real thought to walking? It’s so easy to put one foot in front of the other. Yet this unique, underrated activity sets us apart from other species, and brings incredible advantages – yes, superpowers – if we do it enough.My guest on this week’s podcast is the neuroscientist Shane O’Mara, a professor of experimental brain research at Trinity College Dublin. After reading his remarkable new book, In Praise of Walking: The New Science of How We Walk And Why It’s Good For Us, I couldn’t wait to talk to him about the topics it raises. Shane has always been a keen walker and aims to clock 15,000 to 17,000 steps each day on his pedometer. But as we discuss, the positive effects of walking go way beyond the fitness benefits we all know about.
Walking helps more than our hearts and lungs, our muscles and posture, yet modern, sedentary lives mean we’re doing far less of it than nature intended. It can increase creativity and problem solving, lift our mood and protect us from depression. Shane reveals how it helps learning, memory and cognition and how it can slow and even reverse the functional ageing of the brain. All this science, he hopes, will help convince town planners and public health officials that we must redesign our environments with pedestrians in mind.
This is such an enlightening conversation and I know you’ll gain some fascinating new perspectives on how you could (and why you should) fit more walking into your life. Why not head out for a stroll as you listen?

For all its health benefits if exercise came in pill form, we would only be too eager to take our medicine. But is working-out as medicine too difficult a pill for the majority of us to swallow? By understanding that nature has hard-wired us to hate exercise, but encourages us to love movement, we can examine our attitudes to exercise. If working out isn’t working out, what should we do instead? Darryl Edwards is a play advocate, movement coach and author of the April 2018 best-selling book Animal Moves.

Runner’s knee is fairly common in the running world. It can seriously hamper your training or leave you completely sidelined.
This annoying injury can cause a dull, aching pain under or behind the kneecap, swelling, and even a popping or grinding sensation in the knee.
All of these symptoms are most likely to occur when you’re bending your knee while walking, squatting, kneeling, or running. And they’re caused by irritation of the soft tissues or the lining of the knee, worn or torn cartilage, or simply strained tendons.
In this video Mark takes a closer look at what is going on in “runners knee” and most importantly bringing you tips, stretches and advice on how to avoid it in the first place.

Why Neuroscientists Love Running
Dr. Sabbagh, board-certified neurologist, Dr. Daniel Amen, psychiatrist, and Dr. George Shapiro, practicing physician for 30 years: Mark Hyman, MD
2020-01-24 (8:40)
For decades we were taught there was no stopping cognitive and physical decline, now we know it’s possible to maintain a youthful brain and body into old age using accessible means. Given the right conditions, you can continue to thrive well into old age. In fact, the personality trait of “openness to experience” was a major predictor of good physical activity at age 75, because of a willingness to participate in athletics and try new things. That means, no matter what age you are now, keeping an open and adventurous mind and trying new types of movement in your own routine can help you stay active and healthy as you get older. In this minisode, Dr. Hyman speaks with brain health experts Dr. Marwan Sabbagh and Dr. Daniel Amen, and age management medicine expert Dr. George Shapiro about the tools available to each of us to promote optimal health at any age.Dr. Sabbagh is a board-certified neurologist and considered one of the leading experts in Alzheimer’s and dementia. He is on the editorial board for the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease and BMC Neurology and is now editor in chief of Neurology and Therapy and is the author of The Alzheimer’s Answer: Reduce Your Risk and Keep Your Brain Healthy, and The Alzheimer’s Prevention Cookbook: 100 Recipes to Boost Brain Health. Dr. Sabbagh’s latest book, Fighting for My Life: How to Thrive in the Shadow of Alzheimer’s, was released last year.
The Washington Post called Dr. Daniel Amen the most popular psychiatrist in America and Discover Magazine listed his brain imaging research as the top neuroscience story for 2015. He is a double board-certified psychiatrist and ten-time New York Times bestselling author, with such blockbuster books as Change Your Brain, Change Your Life, Healing ADD, Memory Rescue, Change Your Brain, Change Your Grades, and The Daniel Plan, co-authored by Pastor Rick Warren and Dr. Mark Hyman. In March 2020, his book The End of Mental Illness will be published.
Dr. George Shapiro has been a practicing physician for 30 years, specializing in internal medicine, cardiovascular disease, and age management medicine. Dr. Shapiro was the recipient of the 10th Annual Alan P. Mintz, MD Award, for Clinical Excellence in Age Management Medicine, as he has become known nationwide as an expert in age management medicine, and leads one of the most prominent age management practices in the country as president of Cenegenics New York City. He has long been known as one of New York’s foremost cardiologists, specializing in regenerative medicine and improving longevity, including the genomics of cardiovascular disease and congestive heart failure.

Jeff Galloway wasn’t always a runner. He was once an overweight, lazy 13-year-old who hated to perform strenuous activity. But when he discovered running, its positive benefits changed his life, eventually earning him a spot at the Munich Olympics and a career teaching others his unique run/walk/run method. Galloway will share his plan and explain how walking with short jog segments turns on the brain for better memory, better learning, and new growth of brain cells, and gives each exerciser control over attitude with more energy and empowerment to face the challenges of life.Source: Jeff Galloway has worked with over 300,000 runners of all ages and abilities and is the inventor of the Galloway Run Walk Run method: TEDx Talks

Daniel Lieberman discusses his book "Exercised: Why Something We Never Evolved To Do Is Healthy and Rewarding". If exercise is healthy for you, why do so many people dislike or avoid it? Daniel Lieberman uses engaging stories and explanations that will revolutionize the way you think about not only exercising, but sitting, sleeping, sprinting, weight lifting, playing, fighting, walking, jogging, and even dancing.Daniel Lieberman is professor of human evolutionary biology at Harvard University and a pioneering researcher on the evolution of human physical activity. In this myth-busting book, he tells the story of how we never evolved to exercise—to do voluntary physical activity for the sake of health. Using his own research and experiences throughout the world, Lieberman recounts without jargon how and why humans evolved to walk, run, dig, and do other necessary and rewarding physical activities while avoiding needless exertion.

Muscle Matters
Dr Brendan Egan, lecturer in sport & exercise science in the UCD School of Public Health, Physiotherapy and Population Science: TEDxUCD
2014-06-27 (13:57)
Dr Brendan Egan is a University College Dublin (UCD) lecturer in sport and exercise science in the UCD School of Public Health, Physiotherapy and Population Science, whose TEDxUCD 2014 talk is entitled 'Muscle Matters'.On the sporting front, Brendan has represented Co. Sligo in Gaelic football at Senior inter-county level since 2003.
In his TEDxUCD 2014 talk Brendan explains the importance of maintaining muscle mass as we age.
Modern science has led to automation which means that we are predisposed to being physically inactive and in his talk Brendan outlines the risks to our health of this development. Furthermore, better medicines are leading to greater longevity and as the global population is getting older, the long term impact on health care provision is a huge challenge to be addressed.
Brendan in his talk focuses on Sarcopenia, a disease involving age related wasting of muscle, and talks about the connections with other diseases, including cancer and diabetes, and he encourages us to change our lifestyles now in order to keep our muscles strong as we age.
Dr Brendan Egan is a lecturer in sport and exercise science in the UCD School of Public Health, Physiotherapy and Population Science covering modules in sports nutrition, exercise prescription and molecular exercise physiology.
His current research interests concern the nutritional enhancement of sports performance and the molecular regulation of skeletal muscle function and adaptation in exercise, health and disease.
Brendan graduated with a BSc in Sport and Exercise Science from the University of Limerick in 2003, before graduating from Loughborough University with distinction from the MSc in Sport and Exercise Nutrition programme.
He returned to Ireland in late 2004 to commence doctoral studies under the supervision of Dr Donal O'Gorman at Dublin City University. The focus of this research was on skeletal muscle adaptation to exercise and in particular the continuity between acute molecular responses to individual bouts of exercise and the adaptations in skeletal muscle induced by exercise training.
He was awarded his PhD in 2008, before moving on to the prestigious Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden. There he completed his post-doctoral training in Professor Juleen Zierath's Integrative Physiology group at the Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery. Here his research, using animal and in-vitro cell systems, focused on the transcriptional regulation of skeletal muscle insulin resistance in Type 2 diabetes by small, non-coding RNAs.
He joined the faculty at UCD in 2011.
