Spine Health Unlocked with the Key D3 | Prof Dr S Bakhtiar Choudhary | TEDxVJIT
The speaker emphasizes his journey as a doctor, shaped by his army family background, which spans over 30 years of dedication. The key to his approach lies in understanding the importance of Vitamin D and its impact on spinal health. He identified two critical observations: First, vitamin D insufficiency can cause a bent spine in young individuals, a condition typically seen in adults over 30. Vitamin D, which comes primarily from sunlight (80%) and diet (20%), plays a crucial role in preventing conditions like frozen shoulder syndrome and joint stiffness. Second, he emphasized the importance of maintaining the center of gravity while lifting arms to protect the spine. He advises a balanced regional diet, and sufficient sunlight exposure to avoid surgery and promote overall well-being. Prof. Major Dr. S.

- 21:21Κάνε την αδυναμία - δύναμη. | Dimitris Papanikolaou | TEDxAthensΜικρός πίστευα ότι επιτυχία είναι να κατακτάς μετάλλια με κάθε κόστος και ότι την είχα κατακτήσει.Όταν ήρθε η κόρη μου στην ζωή και διαγνώστηκε με αυτισμό, μου είπε με τον τρόπο της, ότι επιτυχία είναι να βοηθάς τους ανθρώπους να πιάνουν το ταβάνι τους, ακόμα και αν αυτό δεν αντιστοιχεί σε μετάλλιο. Μου είπε ότι επιτυχία δεν είναι να θαυμάζουν εμένα, αλλά να ξεκινήσουν να θαυμάζουν τον εαυτό τους.Και τα κατάφερε. Κάναμε την αδυναμία δύναμη και συμπαρασύραμε χιλιάδες ανθρώπους.
