ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Dean Ornish - Physician, author
Dean Ornish is a clinical professor at UCSF and founder of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute. He's a leading expert on fighting illness -- particularly heart disease with dietary and lifestyle changes.

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.

我地一直喺度退化。
02:46
Now what can we do about this?
Well, you know, the
59
141000
2976
而家我地可以為此做啲乜呢?你都知道,
02:49
diet飲食 that we've我哋都 found發現
that can reverse反向 heart
60
144000
976
我地發現可以扭轉心臟病
02:50
disease疾病 and cancer癌症 is an Asian亞洲 diet飲食.
61
145000
1976
同癌症嘅係亞洲嘅飲食,
02:52
But the people in Asia亞洲
are starting初時 to eat like we
62
147000
1976
但亞洲人都開始食得好似我地咁,
02:54
are, which is why they're
starting初時 to get sick生病
63
149000
976
因此佢地都開始
02:55
like we are.
64
150000
976
病到好似我地咁。
02:56
So I've been working工作
with a lot of the big food食品
65
151000
1976
我一直有同好多大型飲食公司合作,
02:58
companies公司. They can make
it fun有趣 and sexy性感 and hip髖関節
66
153000
1976
佢地可以令食用健康食品變得有趣、性感、
03:00
and crunchy 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嘅主席,

like -- I chair椅子 the advisory諮詢
boards to McDonald's麥當勞嘅,
68
157405
2571
03:05
and PepsiCo百事可樂, and ConAgra康尼格拉,
and Safeway西夫韦, and soon好快
69
160000
1976
仲有百事可樂、康尼格拉食品、Safeway、
03:07
Del戴爾 Monte蒙特卡罗, and they're
finding發現 that it's good
70
162000

即將仲有台爾蒙食品,
佢地發現呢個市場充滿商機。
03:09
business業務.

976
係來自佢地改良左嘅食品。
03:16
And so if we can do that,
then we can free自由 up
76
171000
2143
所以如果我地可以這麼做,我地就可以
慳返好多資源去買我地真正需要嘅藥物
03:18
