S14E2. Muscle and Fat: Can They Convert into Each Other?肌肉与脂肪,真的是“互相转化”的关系吗? 在这一期 MediHealth Podcast 中,我们邀请到健身教练 Oliver 分享适合新手的入门建议。相比复杂器械,他更推荐从深蹲、弓步、平板支撑等基础自重动作开始。这些动作简单、安全,也更容易建立正确的发力和动作习惯。 Oliver 还提到一个常见误区:肌肉和脂肪不能相互转化。对新手来说,与其一开始执着减脂,不如优先增加肌肉量。肌肉能提升基础代谢,从长远来看更有助于减脂。在训练安排上,每周 2–3 次、每次约 1 小时即可,关键是保持规律,避免过度训练。饮食方面以均衡为主,适当增加蛋白质摄入,训练后补充蛋白和碳水有助于恢复。 如果你也在思考如何更科学地开始健身、建立长期可持续的运动习惯,本期节目或许能带来一些新的启发。真正有效的改变,往往始于对身体与习惯之间关系的理解。欢迎来收听本期节目,一起找到适合自己的健身节奏。 Muscle and Fat: Can They Really Convert into Each Other? In this episode of the MediHealth Podcast, fitness coach Oliver shares practical advice for beginners. Instead of jumping into complicated machines, he suggests starting with simple bodyweight exercises like squats, lunges, and planks—easy to learn, safer, and great for building a solid foundation. He also clears up a common myth: muscle and fat don't convert into each other. For beginners, focusing on building muscle is often more effective than just trying to lose fat, since more muscle helps boost your metabolism over time. As for training, 2–3 sessions per week, about an hour each, is more than enough. The key is consistency, not overtraining. Keep your diet balanced, add a bit more protein if your goal is muscle gain, and try to refuel with protein and carbs within 30–60 minutes after a workout. If you've been wondering how to start working out in a healthier, more sustainable way, this episode might give you a fresh perspective. Real, lasting change often begins with understanding your body and building better habits—come give it a listen and find your own rhythm.
S14E1. Balancing Diet, Mood and ExerciseNutrition for College Students: Balancing Diet, Mood and Exercise 大学生营养指南:平衡饮食、情绪与运动 本期嘉宾 Guest Speaker Rushing to an 8 a.m. class, you grab a piece of bread for breakfast. Scrolling through food delivery apps for almost an hour, you end up ordering from the same fast-food restaurant. Burning the midnight oil to meet a deadline, you still can't help enjoying the guilty pleasure of eating chips. These scenes play out every day on college campus. We are always running between classes and assignments, often forgetting to take care of the stomach that stays up late with us. 早上八点的课,在路上匆匆啃一口面包当作早饭;中午外卖软件划了半天,最后还是点了那家最常吃的快餐店;深夜赶ddl时,一边焦虑一边往嘴里塞着薯片,吃完又有点后悔……大学校园里,这样的场景每天都在上演。我们忙着赶课、赶作业,却常常忘了照顾那个陪着我们一起熬夜的胃。 In this episode, we are joined by Ruyan Xu, a registered dietitian in both China and the United States, to talk about how college students can eat healthy. Can I eat this or that? How can I manage my diet during exam week to relieve stress? Should I add an extra meal before or after exercise? You'll find answers to these common nutrition questions in the episode. If you happen to be wondering “What should I eat today?”, this is an episode you won't want to miss. 本期节目,我们邀请到中美双注册营养师 Ruyan Xu,一起聊聊大学生该怎么吃才健康。外卖怎么点才不胖?考试周吃什么能够疏解压力?健身前后该不该加餐?这些常见的饮食问题,你都能在节目中找到答案。如果你也在为“今天吃什么”发愁,那就快来听听吧!
S13E3. How Pathogens Navigate the Whole Ecosystem欢迎收听 MediHealth Podcast。本期节目中,我们邀请到 Kam 教授,与我们一起探讨公共卫生领域的重要理念——一体健康。Kam 教授长期从事免疫学与传染病研究,并曾在新加坡和中国开展相关工作。 Welcome to the MediHealth Podcast. In today’s episode, we welcome Professor Kam, who shares his insights on an important public health concept known as One Health. Professor Kam has long worked in the fields of immunology and infectious diseases, with research experience in both Singapore and China. Kam 教授指出,一体健康强调人类健康并不是孤立存在的,而是与动物和环境紧密相连。过去传染病研究更多聚焦于病毒本身,例如传播途径、免疫反应以及疫苗和药物开发。但随着生态系统不断变化,人们逐渐意识到,仅靠医学手段并不足以从根本上解决问题。 Professor Kam explains that One Health emphasizes that human health does not exist in isolation. Instead, it is closely connected to animals and the environment. In the past, infectious disease research mainly focused on the virus itself, such as how it spreads, how the immune system responds, and how vaccines and medicines can be developed. However, as ecosystems continue to change, people have gradually realized that medical approaches alone are not enough to solve these problems at their root. 他特别强调环境因素的重要性。森林砍伐、城市化、媒介扩散以及气候变化,都增加了动物与人类接触的机会,从而提升疾病传播风险。如果只关注动物和人类之间的关系,疾病可能会反复出现,这说明我们需要将环境纳入整体框架,才能更有效地管理未来的健康挑战。 He highlights the critical role of environmental factors. Deforestation, urbanization, the spread of disease vectors, and climate change all increase the chances of contact between animals and humans, which raises the risk of disease transmission. If we only focus on the relationship between humans and animals, diseases may continue to reappear. This shows that environmental factors must be included in a broader framework in order to better manage future health challenges. Kam 教授也指出,环境同样会影响非传染性疾病。污染物、化学物质暴露以及塑料制品带来的长期生态变化,可能最终反过来危害人类健康,甚至影响下一代。 Professor Kam also notes that the environment influences non-communicable diseases as well. Pollution, chemical exposure, and long-term ecological changes caused by plastic use may eventually come back to harm human health, even affecting future generations. 最后,Kam 教授认为推动一体健康理念的关键挑战在于政策和公众沟通。科学发现需要以透明、开放的方式进入社会,才能建立信任并真正发挥作用。感谢 Kam 教授的分享,也感谢各位听众的收听,我们下期再见。 Finally, Professor Kam points out that one of the key challenges in promoting the One Health approach lies in policy and public communication. Scientific discoveries need to enter society in a transparent and open way in order to build trust and make a real impact. Thank you to Professor Kam for sharing his thoughts, and thanks all for tuning in. See you next time. 00:00 Professor Kam 分享他的跨学科研究之路 Professor Kam on his cross-disciplinary academic journey 01:29 我们过去理解疾病的方式遗漏了什么? What did we miss in how we used to understand diseases? 03:07 环境因素,一个被长期忽视的第三维度 The long-neglected role of environmental factors 05:30 有时,从生态系统入手比不断开发新疫苗更可持续 Sometimes protecting ecosystems works better than creating new vaccines 07:51 一个塑料瓶可能正悄然影响着非传染性疾病 The hidden links between plastic bottles and non-communicable diseases 09:04 让分子层面的发现回到复杂多变的现实生态系统中接受检验 Testing molecular-level discoveries in complex, real-world ecosystems 10:24 “一体健康”面临的最大挑战:如何将科研成果转化为有效政策,并赢得公众信任 The biggest challenge for One Health is turning science into policy and earning public trust 14:30 给学生的建议#1:不要害怕在研究中犯错,错误是最好的老师 Advice for students #1: Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, they are the best teacher 16:47 给学生的建议#2:理解免疫细胞的工作机制后,更要思考这些知识如何服务于广阔的世界 Advice for students #2: After learning how the immune system works, think about applying it to real-world problems
Healing Traditions From China, Indonesia to NepalWelcome back to MediHealth Podcast. Today, we're diving into something "mystical." Chinese speaks of yin and yang, Indonesians talk about Raga and Rasa, and in Nepal, people believe in Agni and Dosha. Although these terms sound like philosophy concept, they actually refer to different ways of understanding the body, health, and even life within their respective cultures. 欢迎回到 MediHealth Podcast!今天我们来聊点“玄”的。中国人讲阴阳,印尼人说 Raga 和 Rasa,尼泊尔信 Agni 与 Dosa。这些名词听起来像哲学,其实都是他们各自文化里关于身体、健康、甚至人生的理解。 In this episode, we invite three young voices from diverse cultural backgrounds: Nicole Lanta from Indonesia, Jiachen from China, and Bikalpa from Nepal. They will explore how these traditional medical systems continue to function in modern society and how these medical philosophies navigate people to reach the balance between body and mind, tradition and modernity.

S13E2. The Power of Narrative: 重塑健康与环境政策Have you ever wondered why governments and the public are slow to act, even when threatened with conclusive statistical evidence on public health issues? In this MediHealth Podcast episode, we are honored to invite Dr. Shanahan, an expert in public policy and environmental studies. She will reveal that the core of the problem often lies not in the data itself, but in how we tell the story. Together, we will explore the "Narrative Policy Framework," which she helped develop, to examine how different narratives shape policy decisions. 你是否曾疑惑,为什么面对明确的科学数据和迫在眉睫的公共健康威胁,政策和公众行动却依然迟缓?在本期MediHealth Podcast的访谈中,我们荣幸邀请到公共政策与环境研究专家Dr. Shanahan。她将为我们揭示一个关键答案:问题的核心往往不在于数据本身,而在于我们讲述故事的方式。我们将一起了解她参与创建的“叙事政策框架”,看看不同的故事会如何影响政策决策。 Through analyzing the cases of the Australian spillover of Hendra viruses from bats to horses and humans, and America’s challenges in controlling Lyme disease, Dr. Shanahan will address the following key questions: Why are stories that emphasize "We can solve the problem" more effective than ones that simply instill fear? Why must environmental protection not be overlooked in One Health discussions? How can science and policy communicate more effectively to prevent the next zoonotic disease outbreak? 通过澳大利亚蝙蝠传病毒给马和人的案例,以及美国莱姆病的防治难题,Dr. Shanahan将回答几个关键问题:为什么讲述“我们能解决问题”的故事比一味吓唬人更有效?在讨论健康问题时,为什么不能忽视环境保护?科学和政策该怎么沟通,才能有效预防下一次从动物传染给人类的疾病? If you care about public health and environmental conservation, or want to learn how to communicate complex issues more effectively, this episode will offer you a fresh and empowering perspective. 如果你关心公共卫生、环境保护,或想知道如何更有效地沟通复杂问题,这期节目将为你提供一个全新的、充满力量的视角。 0:34 Dr. Shanahan: bringing stories in policy making Dr. Shanahan:将叙事引入政策制定 2:34 Decomposing the Narrative Policy Framework 解构“叙事政策框架” 5:12 The toxic Victim Narrative “受害者叙事”陷阱 6:35 Environmental health is missing on the current discussion table of One Health 当前“同一健康”讨论中环境健康的缺位 8:18 Economic factors dominate most policy decisions 政策决策受经济因素的制约 11:02 The virus carriers cohabitate with us now, but we can’t simply get rid of them, they are important pollinators! 病毒携带者与我们共存,但它们又是不可或缺的传粉者! 17:42 To understand what the root causes are, think from individual and global perspectives 从个人与全球视角追溯问题根源 20:02 Spread the information through science-infused stories 用科学故事打破大众的信息差 22:02 Advice for students: Stay passionate, take time to explore, embrace complexity of the real world 给学生的建议:保持热忱,探索未知,拥抱真实世界的复杂性
S13E1. Understanding One Health 理解"一个健康体系":人类、动物与生态系统的相互关联This is the first episode of the "One Health" series on the Medi Health podcast. In this episode, we invite Professor Umar from DKU to discuss the definition and practical application of the One Health in the current global health field. Let’s embark on this profound journey on the interconnection of whole world. 这里是Medihealth播客的“One Health”系列首期节目。本期我们邀请到DKU的Professor Umar,探讨One health理念在当今全球健康领域的地位与实践应用,一同开启一场关于万物互联的深刻对话。 Professor Umar begins with research on epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance, explaining the intricate connections between human, animal, and environmental health, revealing our shared destiny with the world around us. He shared how "One Health" has evolved from an academic concept to policy practice, and used the rabies control in Indonesia as an example to demonstrate the practical results of interdisciplinary collaboration. Professor Umar从流行病学与抗微生物耐药性研究出发,阐释了人类、动物与环境健康之间错综复杂的联系,揭示了我们与周遭世界同频共振的命运。他分享了“同一健康”如何从学术概念逐步走向政策实践,并以印尼狂犬病防控为例,展示了跨学科协作的实际成效。 However, what we are talking about is not just viruses and epidemics; it is also a shift in the way we view the world. From being isolated and disconnected to being interconnected and interwoven. Just like the flutter of a butterfly's wing in the Amazon rainforest can trigger a storm; a puddle of water in a discarded tire could be the starting point of the next epidemic.但我们所谈论的,从不止是病毒与疫情,更是一种观察世界的角度转变。从彼此割裂,到相互连接;从孤立的孤岛,到交织的网络。就像亚马孙雨林的蝶翼颤动,能引来一场暴雨;一个废弃轮胎里的水,可能就是下一场疫情的起点。 One Health should not just be a distant concept; it should be an ingrained belief. And more importantly, an urgent action. The future lies in how we respond to the next flutter of a butterfly's wing.If you are interested in One Health, or other fields like global health or policy research, this episode is definitely not to be missed! Tune in to learn how research can provide solutions to real-world problems! 同一健康不应该只是一个遥远的概念,它更应该是一种深入人心的观念,是一场迫切的行动。未来,就藏在我们如何对待下一次蝶翼颤动之中。如果你对全球健康、同一健康或政策研究感兴趣,这期节目绝对不容错过!快来收听,看看科研如何为现实世界的问题提供解决方案吧! 00:25 Professor Umar introducing his research focus Umar 教授介绍自己的研究方向 01:35 Introduction to One Health: When doctors, veterinarians and ecologists work together 同一健康的基本介绍——当医生、兽医和环境科学家合力协作 02:56 COVID-19 accelerated the shift from theoretical research to political practice of One Health 新冠疫情加速了同一健康理念的战略化 04:57 How policy makers can end the isolation of researchers in different fields 政策制定者如何打破不同领域相互割裂的僵局 06:11 A successful case of rabies control in Bali, Indonesia: “Instead of culling the dogs, they are implementing a massive dog vaccination campaign.” 印尼巴厘岛狂犬病管控的成功案例——“给狗打疫苗,而不是捕杀它们。” 08:24 Why scientists still work independently 为什么科学家们仍在单打独斗 10:32 The butterfly effect of zoonotic diseases: “It shows our broken relationship with the natural world.” 人畜共患病的蝴蝶效应——“它揭示了我们与自然界关系的破裂。” 11:57 Predictors of zoonotic diseases in urban cities: “rainwater stored in tires is a breeding place for the mosquito pandemic.” 现代城市中人畜共患病的预警信号——“废弃轮胎里的积水可能是一场蚊子流行病的预兆。” 14:28 Reverse zoonosis events by surveillance of the pathogen carried by swine, cats and dogs 实时监测猪猫狗,预防病原体的人畜传播 17:38 Recommendations for students and practitioners in the field 对该领域的学生和从业者的建议
