ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Why you should listen

Dr. Dean Ornish wants you to live longer, and have more fun while you're at it. He's one of the leading voices in the medical community promoting a balanced, holistic approach to health, and proving that it works. The author of Eat More, Weigh Less and several other best-selling books, Ornish is best known for his lifestyle-based approach to fighting heart disease.

His research at the Preventive Medicine Research Institute (the nonprofit he founded) clinically demonstrated that cardiovascular illnesses -- and, most recently prostate cancer -- can be treated and even reversed through diet and exercise. These findings (once thought to be physiologically implausible) have been widely chronicled in the US media, including Newsweek, for which Ornish writes a column. The fifty-something physician, who's received many honors and awards, was chosen by LIFE Magazine as one of the most influential members of his generation. Among his many pursuits, Ornish is now working with food corporations to help stop America's obesity pandemic from spreading around the globe.

我們一直在退化。
02:46
Now what can we do about this?
Well, you know, the
59
141000
2976
我們該怎麼辦?這麼嘛,你知道,我們發現
02:49
diet飲食 that we've我們已經 found發現
that can reverse相反 heart
60
144000
976
亞洲飲食可以反轉心臟疾病和癌症的產生。
02:50

61
145000
1976
亞洲飲食可以反轉心臟疾病和癌症的產生。
02:52
But the people in Asia亞洲
are starting開始 to eat like we
62
147000
1976
但是亞洲人的飲食開始與我們愈來愈接近,
02:54
are, which哪一個 is why they're
starting開始 to get sick生病
63
149000
976
這也是為什麼,他們開始會罹患跟我們一樣的疾病。
02:55
like we are.
64
150000
976
這也是為什麼,他們開始會罹患跟我們一樣的疾病。
02:56
So I've been working加工
with a lot of the big food餐飲
65
151000
1976
我嘗試跟許多食品大廠合作。
02:58
companies公司. They can make
it fun開玩笑 and sexy性感的 and hip臀部
66
153000
1976
他們讓吃健康食物這件事,變得有趣、性感、
03:00
and crunchy脆脆 and convenient方便
to eat healthier健康 foods食品,
67
155000
2381
流行、有口感又方便,
例如:我擔任麥當勞諮詢董事會的主席,
03:02
like -- I chair椅子 the advisory諮詢
boards to McDonald's麥當勞,
68
157405
2571
03:05
and PepsiCo百事, and ConAgra康尼格拉,
and Safeway西夫韋, and soon不久
69
160000
1976
還有百事可樂、康尼格拉食品、Safeway 超市、
03:07
Del德爾 Monte蒙特, and they're
finding發現 that it's good
70
162000
2143
台爾蒙食品也即將加入,他們發現這個市場
商機很大。
03:09
business商業.
71
164167
809
03:10
The salads沙拉 that you see
at McDonald's麥當勞 came來了 from
72
165000
976
麥當勞的沙拉就是我們的成果,
03:11
the work -- they're going
to have an Asian亞洲 salad沙拉. At
73
166000
1976
他們將要銷售亞洲式沙拉。在百事可樂公司,
03:13
Pepsi百事可樂, two-thirds三分之二
of their revenue收入 growth發展 came來了
74
168000
1976
三分之二的營收成長來自於
03:15
from their better foods食品.
75
170000
976
他們更健康的產品。
03:16
And so if we can do that,
then we can free自由 up
76
171000
2143
而且如果我們可以持續這麼做,我們將能節省
購買藥品的資源,這樣你就能去購買例如
03:18
resources資源 for buying購買 drugs毒品
that you really do need
77
173167
2809
