WEBVTT - Daily dopamine menus; pilates risks; surprising causes of death

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh, hey there, I hope you are feeling healthy ish. Yes,

0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:05.440
<v Speaker 1>you have joined us on the daily podcast from Body

0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:07.680
<v Speaker 1>and Soul called healthy Ish, but you knew that already, right.

0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:10.840
<v Speaker 1>I am Felicity Harley, and as this episode drops on

0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:14.120
<v Speaker 1>a Friday, I am joined via our online studio today

0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:17.639
<v Speaker 1>by Body and Soul's digital editor Holly Berkleman, and we

0:00:17.680 --> 0:00:21.080
<v Speaker 1>are chatting through the three stories that made us guzzle

0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:37.120
<v Speaker 1>loud Green Juices this week. Holley, has it been a

0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:37.760
<v Speaker 1>week already?

0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:38.120
<v Speaker 2>Wow?

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>That was a minute.

0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:41.599
<v Speaker 2>They go by so quickly, don't they.

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:43.640
<v Speaker 1>Here we are again? How are you?

0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:47.280
<v Speaker 3>I am so well, thank you. I was just saying

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.519
<v Speaker 3>before that I've been going to bed incredibly early at

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 3>the moment, and I actually feel too well rested, and

0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:53.640
<v Speaker 3>it's something I've.

0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:57.440
<v Speaker 2>Never experienced in my life frankly, but kind.

0:00:57.240 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 3>Of loving it. Wow.

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 2>This is what a collc to have a full.

0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Time I feel like you've been on here before talking

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:04.280
<v Speaker 1>about how you don't go to bed till like twelve

0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:07.440
<v Speaker 1>and one, So this is quite revolutionary for you.

0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:11.360
<v Speaker 3>It is a rollercoaster for the listeners and for myself

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:13.839
<v Speaker 3>that I've actually gone to bed at it a normal time.

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:16.560
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, stay tuned to see how long I keep

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:18.840
<v Speaker 3>that up for. And how are you fleep? Are you

0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:19.399
<v Speaker 3>feeling better?

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I am. I feel like I'm almost back to good health,

0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:25.840
<v Speaker 1>and I know I always know it's a sign when

0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:28.600
<v Speaker 1>I actually feel like doing exercise and I'm going a bit.

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.680
<v Speaker 1>I haven't actually run in two weeks, Holly, I hope

0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 1>no one like my Nike coach isn't listening to this.

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:37.080
<v Speaker 1>But I haven't done a run and the half marathon

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:39.520
<v Speaker 1>is only about seven weeks away, so I have to

0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 1>get out there. And yeah, just get back out there

0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:44.199
<v Speaker 1>and run.

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:46.840
<v Speaker 3>Well, you're back in the land of the living now,

0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:50.000
<v Speaker 3>so you can venture out soon hopefully.

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, thank you. Now tell us what story on

0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:56.400
<v Speaker 1>body and soul this week was perhaps the most intriguing to.

0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.200
<v Speaker 2>You, soorry.

0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 3>The one that caught my attention the most is should

0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:04.320
<v Speaker 3>you really be doing pilates? You're a polities fan?

0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:05.840
<v Speaker 1>If, Liz, I am not?

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh really is controversial from I really?

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:13.600
<v Speaker 3>Which makes us the outliers for this industry, I would say,

0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:16.320
<v Speaker 3>But as we know, polines is one of the most

0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 3>popular ways.

0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:17.639
<v Speaker 2>To work out.

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 3>There are so many fans and people love it because

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:24.160
<v Speaker 3>it improves your strength your flexibility, your posture, and so on.

0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:28.800
<v Speaker 3>But there is a downside because a lot of these

0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:31.800
<v Speaker 3>studios are kind of a one size fits all approach,

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.800
<v Speaker 3>especially if you're in big classes, and they're primarily to

0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:39.799
<v Speaker 3>encourage people to partake in community and to get out

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:43.360
<v Speaker 3>of their houses and to start exercising, which obviously is

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 3>great because that's you know, one of the biggest barriers

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.600
<v Speaker 3>to health is actually getting out and doing it.

0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 2>But there are a lot of instructors who have nothing.

0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.320
<v Speaker 3>More than the basic kind of qualifications to their name,

0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 3>and the teaching classes that don't offer a huge amount

0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 3>of personalization, which can be an issue.

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 2>So there are two downsides.

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.360
<v Speaker 3>Instead of really tailored programs that are right for your body,

0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.400
<v Speaker 3>you're grouped in with people in quite an overstimulating environment,

0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.400
<v Speaker 3>like I've done Pilarates classes before, where the music is

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:14.920
<v Speaker 3>really loud and it's really hectic and full on, and

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 3>so if you're trying to get those proper results which

0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:21.840
<v Speaker 3>come from alignment and kind of precision, you might not

0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:23.880
<v Speaker 3>have the ability to kind of tap into that and

0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:27.839
<v Speaker 3>do it properly. And then the second thing is if

0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:31.079
<v Speaker 3>you have existing injuries, that sort of environment doesn't allow

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:33.239
<v Speaker 3>you a lot of the time to kind of slow

0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 3>down and tweak what you're doing so you can kind

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 3>of overdo it and not not knowing your body's limitations.

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 3>So do you need to cancel your next pilities class?

0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 3>Not necessarily, but experts say that you should do your

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.880
<v Speaker 3>due diligence and research the setting and figure out if

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 3>it's right for you, especially if you're a beginner. So

0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:57.840
<v Speaker 3>this is music to my ears, obviously, because as a

0:03:57.880 --> 0:03:59.320
<v Speaker 3>non Polites person, I'm not perfect.

0:03:59.400 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't need to go.

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 3>But for those who are Polartes fans, it's maybe worth

0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 3>doing a bit of research.

0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad you brought this story to well the Table

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 1>today because we actually have an expert on next week

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 1>talking about this. And obviously I think we talked about

0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 1>this maybe before six months or so ago, because there

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.720
<v Speaker 1>was a bit of a call to action from various

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 1>instructors around Australia that there needs to be some regulatory

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:28.800
<v Speaker 1>body to govern what's going on, because you can just

0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:32.680
<v Speaker 1>go and get a Plartes Instructors course quite swiftly compared

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.720
<v Speaker 1>to other fitness instructors around. So we do have someone

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.159
<v Speaker 1>coming on next week to talk about this more so, Yeah,

0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.719
<v Speaker 1>thanks for giving me the chance to plug that episode

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.919
<v Speaker 1>next week. Listens and listen is just let you know.

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 1>This is actually serendipitous, the fact that Holly brought this

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.200
<v Speaker 1>story to the table and that I have scheduled next

0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:51.000
<v Speaker 1>week someone to chat about this, So thank you.

0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:53.680
<v Speaker 2>I think that just proves that we're both clued in

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:55.040
<v Speaker 2>with the news cycle. Flish.

0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, big tick to both, which you would hope.

0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:01.200
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, okay, over to you. What on your mind

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:01.719
<v Speaker 2>this week?

0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, I came across this thing called a daily Dopamine Menu.

0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Have you heard of this? Oh?

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:09.559
<v Speaker 2>I haven't really?

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So I mean I love cutesy, quirky stuff like this.

0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.920
<v Speaker 1>We've had the dopamine dressing and many people still dress

0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 1>like this. We've had the dopamine decor, we've got the

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:24.240
<v Speaker 1>dopamine supplements. But the daily Dopamine Menu is something that's

0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.360
<v Speaker 1>free and easy and we can all do. And it

0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 1>was designed by a UK neuroscientist and author, Nicole Vignola,

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.960
<v Speaker 1>and she came up with the idea to counteract the

0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:39.200
<v Speaker 1>amount of time we spend staring at our screens and

0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:43.560
<v Speaker 1>the pool that TikTok and Instagram have on us when

0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 1>we just are needing that downtime, and we just pick

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:48.240
<v Speaker 1>up our phone and doom scroll and all of a sudden,

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 1>there goes thirty minutes.

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 2>She said, had to have a TikTok hole exactly.

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.680
<v Speaker 1>We've all been there, she says, have your daily do

0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:59.359
<v Speaker 1>menu ready and waiting. So when you do reach for

0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.640
<v Speaker 1>the screen, pop it up. Preferably not on your screen.

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 1>You can write it out or print it out and

0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:08.360
<v Speaker 1>put it on your fridge or in your bedroom or bathroom. Basically,

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:10.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we all know what dop mean is it's

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:13.160
<v Speaker 1>the neurotransmitter made in the brain, the feel good hormone

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:16.440
<v Speaker 1>that's part of the body's reward system. It's what gets

0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:18.920
<v Speaker 1>hyped up when we are after things that are fun

0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.360
<v Speaker 1>and rewarding. You know, there's small things like food or

0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:23.919
<v Speaker 1>social media hits, but it's also the one that drives

0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.000
<v Speaker 1>us to take bigger risks where whether it is at

0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:29.000
<v Speaker 1>work or take on challenges like a half marathon. So

0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:33.080
<v Speaker 1>this whole idea of the menu is basically like a menu,

0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:36.680
<v Speaker 1>you have a starter's main course, sides, dessert, and specials,

0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:40.640
<v Speaker 1>and it's just putting little things in there that give

0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:43.640
<v Speaker 1>you a personal dope, mean hit that you know that

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:46.440
<v Speaker 1>you can do instead of reaching for the phone. So

0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:50.560
<v Speaker 1>the starters, she says, quick activities you enjoy that will

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:54.640
<v Speaker 1>give you that little dope mean hit, like stretching coffee

0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:59.200
<v Speaker 1>which yes, tick loves, yes me, finally putting the washing

0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:03.480
<v Speaker 1>away or so love. And then the main course are

0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:07.120
<v Speaker 1>more challenging and rewarding activities like you know, striving for

0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 1>a half marathon. I'm just using this example because it

0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:13.240
<v Speaker 1>rings true for me. Sides of those dope meine releasing

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:16.920
<v Speaker 1>activities that you engage with while completing a separate task,

0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:21.640
<v Speaker 1>for example, following the washing while listening to your favorite podcast. Okay,

0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 1>dessert is using social media, but more as a treat,

0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:30.280
<v Speaker 1>so not letting it dominate your day, not spending thirty

0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.760
<v Speaker 1>minutes on TikTok. And then the specials and little dope

0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 1>mean hits like getting in nails done and eating out.

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:36.840
<v Speaker 1>You know those fun things that you think, oh, I

0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:39.960
<v Speaker 1>feel good after doing that. So this is just her

0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:42.160
<v Speaker 1>idea to get us away from the screens. If we

0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.640
<v Speaker 1>feel that pool of social media, refer to your dope

0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:49.760
<v Speaker 1>mean menu and yeah, and then you're getting that pure, joyful,

0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 1>dope mean hit rather than filling crap after scrolling thirty

0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 1>minutes on TikTok.

0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 3>I love this and it's kind of yeah, you're right.

0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.760
<v Speaker 3>It's that pure dope mein that you get without it

0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.880
<v Speaker 3>being marred by the bad sides of social media. So

0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:03.840
<v Speaker 3>it sounds like something you should write out and step

0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.400
<v Speaker 3>up on your fridge or even stick off the back

0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:07.000
<v Speaker 3>of your phone.

0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh I like that. That's a good idea.

0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:11.120
<v Speaker 2>You got it on hand at all times.

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I will check your phone next time we're in

0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:17.000
<v Speaker 1>the studio. Now, just quickly before we go, give us

0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:19.000
<v Speaker 1>a quick rundown of the most clicked story of the week.

0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:22.480
<v Speaker 3>So a really joyful way to cap on this week's

0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:25.520
<v Speaker 3>episode is these are the top ten causes of death

0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.520
<v Speaker 3>around the world. But as they say, knowledge is power.

0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:30.680
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's good to know these things because then

0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.960
<v Speaker 3>you can do what you can to avoid them. So

0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:37.280
<v Speaker 3>this is recently published data from the World Health Organization

0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:40.320
<v Speaker 3>that lists the leading causes of death throughout the year

0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty one. So it's a few years ago now,

0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.880
<v Speaker 3>but the data has just come out, and these ten

0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:49.040
<v Speaker 3>causes of death accounted for fifty seven percent of the

0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.720
<v Speaker 3>total deaths around the world. That year, which was sixty

0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:52.880
<v Speaker 3>eight million deaths.

0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 2>It's a lot.

0:08:53.679 --> 0:08:55.480
<v Speaker 1>That's a lot of double dye a.
