Amazing talk Dr Francis. It’s quite some medical terms and knowledge you mention in your talk but it’s so captivating and easy to understand. Thanks a lot!
About incorporating exercise in your day to day life: the Netherlands has the lowest rate of obesity in Europe, attributed to them mostly cycling instead of sitting in cars. Making walkable and bikable cities will drastically improve public health, in addition to all of the other improvements.
Fantastic, Dr Francis! About time we had a TED talk from you! I love the way you made it into not just a speech and put something a little extra in there, with the "show and tell". You've always had the ability to make *anything* you say wonderfully interesting, thanks to your intellect mixed with your wit. Keep going and I'll keep watching you at Medlife Crisis, because you truly are one of a kind on this platform.
This is a great message and a great way to present this issue. It is interesting to me that exercise is something everyone knows they should be doing more of and yet so many people don’t do it. One thing I have thought about is the ethical issues surrounding how health care is largely dictated by what insurance will pay for. Insurance will pay for diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, depression, but they do not cover preventative things. Doctors are limited on what treatments they can prescribe based on what insurance will pay for. Yes, doctors can recommend diet and exercise, but it is not an official treatment that they can bill for, and it is not something insurance will pay for. I think if doctors could bill for exercise and diet prescriptions, they would come up with creative ways to personalize exercise and diet to their patients. I also think that patients would be more likely to exercise regularly if insurance would pay for a gym membership with certain stipulations based on how compliant the patient is with their physician prescribed exercise program. I truly believe in the power of sleep, exercise, and diet. We could eliminate so much health care cost from chronic disease by simply finding ways to get people to sleep, exercise, and diet properly.
I absolutely agree and really appreciate your point of view. One thing that I have been excited to see is my own health insurance company offering to help pay for my gym membership. I do think it would be extremely valuable to have nutritionists and exercise specialists in office with primary care physicians to help patients with these plans. However, once again, there would likely be additional costs for the patients which are associated with these services. Overall, I appreciate health care professionals who are using their voice to bring this topic to light and educate patients on the importance of preventative medicine.
At 1:00 I said: oh no, he's going to say exercise with an accompanying eye roll.... but I watched the entire video because it's you! I love all your talks.
I have had that thought that exercise really is a magic bullet since it is one basic advice health professionals normally give to their patient no matter what condition they are having.
From personal experience , I would say that exercising when you can find the time ultimately has to be replaced by scheduling exercise. It doesn't have to be so rigid that if you miss a session you have an anxiety attack.Latitude ,compromise and missed appointments are just part of life. But find workable times , stick to them . Three brisk one hour walks per week as your planned regime and then walking other times instead of bussing or driving is a great start and maybe all you need. Overdoing it initially can lead to fast health improvement but you can drop that ability very suddenly from burnout or injury. Two more things: I say walking because so little inexpensive gear and rented times and places are typically required and you just have to step out your door. And the fitness gains , both mentally and physically , are remarkable. Two; Beware. After the initial mental and physical dislocation ,you will become hooked on it. But that's better than Oreos and TV. Needless but necessary , be sure by ideally consulting your doctor that this is suitable for you.
Exercise is so important for everyone to participate in. It is often thought that exercise is just to stay in shape and not to gain weight but as this talk said, there is so much more to it. Exercise can help with the physical aspect of health by maintaining a healthy weight but also has been proven to help battle stress. Also, with the release of endorphins it can even help with pain management. Being on a regular exercise routine is often part of the treatment plan for diseases like hypertension, diabetes and even chronic heart failure. These diseases along with many others can only helped if the person is keeping up with exercise and physicians need to be more serious about talking about how beneficial it is with their patients. Exercise can seem like a daunting task for anyone, especially those dealing with health issues. As someone who is not the most in shape myself, going out and exercising like I see other people do is something that seems extremely difficult. However, there is many different activities one can do that can help with your health like going on hikes, playing sports, lifting light weights, or even just going on walks. Anyone who wants as can participate in some sort exercise. This isn’t to say that exercise should be the only thing one does to keep healthy. Especially if you have a health condition like heart failure or diabetes, you need to keep up with your other means of managing your condition like medications. A lot of people thing that just living a healthy lifestyle and exercise can cure depression and other psychiatric conditions but while exercise can help, some people really need other means of managing their mental health. Exercise can be used as a powerful tool to help combat all sorts of medical conditions. It's important to make physical activity a part of your daily routine, whether it's through structured exercise or simply moving more throughout the day. Remember, even small amounts of exercise can have big health benefits, so start small and gradually increase your activity level over time. Your body and mind will thank you!
As I have gotten older my approach to exercise has changed. Instead of doing it to look a certain way or fit into a dress that I used to wear, I participate in exercise because of the way that it makes me feel. Once you get in a normal routine with exercise it can improve mood, boost energy levels and so much more. It absolutely has become a means of stress reduction for me. I also agree with the point you made about how doctors should be more serious about educating their patients on the importance of exercise. The question I have is how much should this responsibility fall on the shoulders of the doctors, vs the shoulders of the patients? Obviously, physicians follow the ethical principle of beneficence or doing good. They should use their knowledge and skills to benefit patients in whatever way that they can. However, at the end of the day, the decision to exercise or not lies within the individual patient. I believe we need to educate patients on the importance of exercise and then empower them to do their part and take action!
Just finished the talk, really lovely and quite motivating! And fabulous to end on the note that we need to design a society/ basic lifestyle that incorporates exercise, so that it becomes a structural norm instead of something people need to go out of their way to pursue!! Thank you!
I hope that tedtalk channel have transcripts to all speeches cause I recently start learning English and I leasen to alot of podcasts or tedtalk and I am missing alot of vocabulary and expression so if it was only voice I did not catch a word 😢

Dr. Francis brought up an issue that may seem obvious to the general public in that regular exercise happens to have many benefits that can’t necessarily be achieved with modern medicines. I agree with Dr. Francis in that doctors recommend daily exercise early on to achieve these health benefits but only a small percentage of patients, specifically 23% of adults over the age of 18 according to the CDC, actually exercise daily. While listening to Dr. Francis’s Ted Talk, I was reminded of the ethical principle of autonomy. For those who may be unaware, autonomy is the right of competent adults to make informed decisions about their own healthcare. As a first year medical student when I first learned about the ethical principles of healthcare, I was most skeptical of this principle because it’s imperative that physicians learn to respect the decisions of their patients, even if it might not be what they recommend. Physicians have the responsibility to advise their patients in what they believe will benefit their health but the patient has an equal right to deny that advice or not heed any attention to it. While most patients generally will listen to what their physician says and make the necessary changes for the betterment of their health, sometimes patients won’t listen or won’t make those changes. In these situations, it can be very frustrating for the physician but ultimately, the patient’s autonomy must be taken into consideration. While watching Dr. Francis’s Ted Talk, I thought about how many times I was recommended daily exercise and if I followed my physician’s recommendations. It wasn’t until I had certain health issues that I started following those exercise guidelines. Likewise, other patients may feel the same way about making certain changes to their lifestyle only when necessary or convenient for them. So, through Dr. Francis’s Ted Talk, I learned that exercise is a magic bullet that has so many health benefits and it’s often recommended by physicians for the betterment of their patients. However, it’s up to the patient to follow those guidelines and as aspiring physicians, we need to respect their decision.
Nice talk. Similar to what my father, retired Air Marshal P V Iyer, writes in his book. Fit at any age. My dad is 93 and the book is published by Bloomsbury, India.
Since the beginning of time, our physical capabilities have driven the survival of humanity. We used to run and chase our food to keep our families alive, and our bodies were designed for this purpose. Unfortunately, easy access to food has influenced our bodies in negative ways. If we're hungry, we can easily go to a fast-food joint and get a tasty burger, then sit down to watch our favorite show. While our body is resting, it's digesting greasy processed food that deposits unhealthy additives into our body. Over time, this repetitive pattern leads to cardiovascular problems that occur in our population. It would be different if we were exercising or "chasing" our food, which would benefit our cardiovascular health. Heart disease is the number one killer of Americans, and the main cause is atherosclerosis, which occurs when cholesterol deposits in the walls of our arteries. With the average American diet, the onset of atherosclerosis is very high compared to other countries. Typically, only 19% of Americans exercise to achieve a healthy lifestyle, but it's more than just exercise. I believe education is the key to fixing this problem. We need to educate the world about the consequences of consuming bad food. We need to start this in childhood, where all bad habits begin. If we can educate on the importance of a healthy diet and proper exercise, we can see the number one killer in America decrease and fall down the ladder. Lastly, medical costs for cardiovascular-related diseases are around 350 billion dollars. This massive amount of money could be cut down by a few decimal points if we educate people on how to live healthier lives. By preventing heart disease through lifestyle changes, we can not only save lives but also reduce the economic burden of healthcare costs in the world and allocate the money for other important causes.
Question: What examples does Rohin Francis provide to illustrate the impact of lifestyle changes on health, and how can individuals incorporate these changes into their daily lives?
Take vitamin B12, and sunbathe directly on your skin for 15 minutes a day to make up for the lack of vitamin D because they are responsible for the psychological and nervous state of the person, and take prebiotics and cumin soaked in percent once to twice a day for a week
Popping a pill into ur mouth is the simplest exercise.😂 Mind you exercising is not an easy thing to do nor is it easy to do yoga or pranayam.Despite all these exercises for our body the mind can still fall sick because we haven't as yet known how to tame our mind.the more you force ur mind to discipline it the more neurotic one can become.😊
Fantastic talk Rohin, your style and humour make your videos and talks very easy to listen to. However, I am very pleased you did not grace your audience with your variety of regional accents. Thank you.
@@therabbithat Are you “Well Actually” come to life? Yes. I watched it. I don’t know why you would ask that. I was insulting Ted talks in general.

6:40 A biologist walks into a bar and asks for a half of lager - that’ll be ATP replies the barman - 😊

Cognitive Behavioural therapy?
Take vitamin B12, and sunbathe directly on your skin for 15 minutes a day to make up for the lack of vitamin D because they are responsible for the psychological and nervous state of the person, and take prebiotics and cumin soaked in percent once to twice a day for a week
Try Wim Hof breathwork and you will see almost instant results. Or other breathwork like buteyko.
EFT or EMDR therapy
It helps to get away from tecnology for a week or so. One week camping with no tech is very calming for the mind
I thought he wanted to show us the effect of exercise on the heart rate and without exercise.
I knew you'd say exercise,
