Cette semaine, nouvel épisode de Ça s'partage by EN ROUTE, le changement au quotidien par ceux qui le vivent et qui ont envie de partager ce qu'ils vivent. Dans cet épisode, nous parlons de réduire sa consommation de viande sans perdre le plaisir des repas. Pourquoi ? L'alimentation représente 24 % de l'empreinte carbone des français, selon l'Agence de la transition écologique (Ademe). Dans ces 24 %, la viande joue un rôle majeur : un repas avec du bœuf émet en moyenne 7 kg de CO2, soit 14 fois plus qu'un repas végétarien (0,5 kg de CO2). Réduire nos émissions signifie donc réduire notre consommation de viande. Alors, en pratique, comment changer faire ? Aude raconte son chemin. Vous êtes prêt à passer en mode action ? Alors en Route ! Pour aller plus loin sur le sujet de la viande, vous pouvez aussi écouter : Une conférence de 15 minutes par Marta Zaraska sur pourquoi nous devrions manger moins de viande. Un TEDx sur "Pourquoi les humains sont obsédés par la viande" Un article de Aude de décryptage de cette conférence Le blog de cuisine Owi Owi Fouette-moi qui a donné envie à Aude de tester de nouvelles recettes Un article sur l'empreinte carbone de la viande l'épisode du podcast avec Bertrand Swiderski, directeur développement durable du groupe Carrefour, qui perle de la manière dont on change les rayons alimentation dans les supermarchés

In episode #75, Mel and Trish were excited to chat to author and science journalist Marta Zaraska all the way from France about her latest book, Growing Young – How Friendship, Optimism and Kindness Can Help You Live to 100. Marta's articles have been published in a variety of journals and magazines, her books have been turned into TV programs, she has given a TEDx Talk and been featured as an expert in several documentary films. Marta and the girls unpack the three key elements of friendship, optimism and kindness and the role they play in helping us live longer. It's an interesting move away from the modern-day hyper-focus on diet, lifestyle and exercise and a move towards a more simplified humanitarian and altruistic approach to life demonstrated beautifully in countries like Japan.Marta is a super smart girl whose book is full of research, some of which she was the ginea pig herself, having her brain chemicals mapped. But the best thing? Her suggestions are easy to incorporate into our every day lives. It's simple, but it works.Enjoy the intelligence and knowledge of Marta Zaraska.Important Links:Marta's WebsiteMarta's Books Marta's Instagram Hosted on Acast.

If you're looking to live a long life, the answer may lie in how kind and optimistic you are. We revisit a conversation with Marta Zaraska, author of "Growing Young: How Friendship, Optimism, and Kindness Can Help You Live to 100." Right before the pandemic, "Rape of Europa" — Isabella Stewart Gardner's "crown jewel" — left the Gardner Museum for the first time on international loan. Now it's finally back home for the last leg of a reunion exhibition tour that sheds light on Gardner as a collecting pioneer. WBUR's Andrea Shea reports.

Join Aalia and Marta Zaraska, a French-Polish-Canadian science journalist, as they discuss practical approaches to improving your well being, specifically health and longevity. Having graduated from law school while invested in journalism, Marta has become a world-renowned, bestselling author. Her first book, “Meathooked: The History and Science of Our 2.5-Million Year Obsession with Meat,” was published in 2016. Her second book, published in 2020, is titled “Growing Young: How Friendship, Optimism, and Kindness Can Help You Live to 100.” Her book is a research-driven case for why optimism, kindness, and strong social networks will keep us living longer than any fitness tracker or superfood and has been named by The Wall Street Journal one of the best books of 2020 on longevity and aging.
Those who are focused on optimal longevity tend to be obsessed with diet and exercise. But what if something else is as important, if not more important, to living a long and healthy life? That's the argument science journalist and bestselling author Marta Zaraska makes in her book Growing Young: How Friendship, Optimism and Kindness Can Help You Live to 100. As it turns out, having a strong, supportive social network is key to our longevity — in fact, Zaraska says it can lower your mortality risk by 65 percent, which is more than both diet and exercise. On this week's episode, Zaraska joins host and Medcan CEO Shaun Francis to discuss her findings. https://www.eatmovethinkpodcast.com/podcast/ep-71-growing-young-with-marta-zaraska LINKS Marta Zaraska can be found on Twitter and over on her website. You can buy Growing Young here. You can also check out her previous book Meathooked, about the history and science of our cultural obsession with meat, here. Read an article Zaraska wrote on kindness for the BBC here, and then watch her discuss the ideas in her book on The Social. Also sit down with this recent New York Times feature, which explores how to navigate your friendships in a post-pandemic world. INSIGHTS Zaraska knows that when she talks about how friendship and kindness are essential to our long-term health, it can be easy to dismiss it as “New Age-y” fluff, but science and data backs this up. While working on her book, Zaraska read hundreds of research papers and interviewed many scientists and discovered that having a strong social network can reduce your risk of mortality by an impressive 65 percent. Diet and exercise, on the other hand, lowers it by 20 to 30 percent. “You still want to eat healthy and exercise,” says Zaraska. “But if you've completely forgotten about the social and mental side, then you're definitely missing a huge opportunity to become healthier and live longer.” [2:38] So what are some of the actual health benefits we get from our relationships? Holding hands or hugging someone boosts oxytocin — the stress-reducing “love” hormone — and serotonin, which can lower our inflammation levels. Social connection can also give us endorphins, which are not only natural painkillers, but also encourage us to trust people more. There's even evidence that being surrounded by others can decrease levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which is tied to inflammation and has been linked to a number of illnesses, like cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes. [6:34] If you take away just one thing from Zaraska's book, it should be that romantic love, especially, plays an important role in our health and longevity — a romantic relationship alone can reduce your mortality risk by 45 percent. Typically, they'll lower our stress levels and make us feel safe and cared for. That said, studies show that women need to feel like they're in a high-quality romantic partnership to experience the health benefits, while men can still get them in a lower-quality relationship. [10:54] The pandemic, and lockdowns, have had a detrimental impact on our relationships and overall health. Not only were we missing out on the hormonal benefits of being around people, many of us have also felt isolated and lonely — something that can be connected to things like increased blood pressure and cancer. “Even if we didn't come down with the virus itself, the whole stress of [the situation] was certainly not beneficial to our health,” Zaraska says. [17:25] It's not just about our relationships either — being kind is also good for our health and longevity. “Evolution rewards us for being good team players in our tribe,” Zaraska explains. Acts of kindness, whether it's helping your friends or mowing your elderly neighbour's lawn, can calm our stress levels. One study even found that a group of people who performed random acts of kindness everyday for six weeks had a different gene expression in their white blood cells, which were more protective against inflammation. Even something like donating money to charity has health benefits. [19:32] You know what they say: Practice makes perfect. Empathy is, in part genetic, but it can be improved upon — just like your fitness levels can improve by exercising more. Studies show that reading or watching emotionally charged books and movies can help our empathy levels grow. Zaraska suggests even doing a simple exercise where you spend a few minutes trying to see the world from another person's point of view. [22:06] Zaraska suggests paying as much attention to how you eat as what you eat. The Mediterranean diet is the gold standard, but we fixate too much on its actual contents. Zaraska currently lives in France, where eating is a leisurely, communal experience, similar to how meals occur in Spain and Italy. Both the type of food, and the social act of eating, provide health benefits. “If you eat a Mediterranean diet, even the best one, alone in your car on the way to work, it's not going to have the same benefits as the way it [will] if you [spend] two hours sitting at a table with your friends and family,” she says. “It's a very different story.” [28:06]

We’ve all heard that living with your purpose top of mind – what we at Crucible Leadership call a life of significance – leads to a more joyful and impactful life. But did you know it also can lead to a longer life? Author Marta Zaraska makes an eye-opening case for that truth in her best-seller, Growing Young: How Friendship, Optimism and Kindness Can Help You Live to 100 – a book steeped in science (she studied more than 600 research papers in her research) that points to the health benefits of living life in community and in service to others. That means those steps you're taking to overcome your crucibles -- deepening authentic relationships, growing in character and kindness, leaning into the power of meditation and prayer -- can lower your mortality rate more effectively than a fad diet or obsessing over whether you're getting your 10,000 steps in every day.

We all tend to stress about finding the perfect diet or exercise plan to keep us as healthy as possible. But there’s so much more to it than that. To keep your body healthy, you have to focus on other aspects of your life as well. What if I told you that kindness, connection, and love have just as much to do with your health as diet and exercise? WELCOME TO THE DARIN OLIEN SHOW. I’m Darin Olien, the “superfood hunter.” On this podcast, you’ll hear honest conversations with extraordinary people that inspire me. I hope that through their knowledge and unique perspectives, they’ll inspire you, too. Although our ideas and approaches to life may differ, our ultimate goal is the same. We want to save the planet. So we’re going to try, one conversation at a time. If you’re interested in expanding your view of the world while learning new angles on health and nutrition, you’re at the right place. Marta Zaraska found the Fountain of Youth. And it’s probably not what you think. Marta is an incredibly knowledgeable science writer and journalist, published in the Washington Post, Scientific American, and The Atlantic among many others. Her new book Growing Young: How Friendship, Optimism, and Kindness Can Help You Live to 100 quickly became one of my favorites. It’s a research-driven look at the power of human connection and attitude, and how they biologically drive our existence. In this episode, Marta and I chat about all the things that some health gurus seem to forget. It’s not just about what we eat and drink, it’s about how we interact with the people around us. It’s about our attitude towards the world, and how we nurture our emotional health. Marta is full of a massive amount of scientifically backed information and insights, I really had a blast with this conversation. She breaks down the biology behind friendships and relationships, and why they really are key to our quality of life. We chat about hormones, microbiomes, and why everyone should have a dog like my Chaga. We’re not talking about superfoods in this one, guys, but it’s just as important. Other topics in this episode: The backstory of Growing Young Why you need to find your tribe The science behind the human/dog bond How the pandemic has tested us Exchanging microbes How having friends makes you live longer Can an introvert learn to be more extroverted?

A smart, research-driven case for why optimism, kindness, and strong social networks will help us live to 100.From the day her daughter was born, science journalist Marta Zaraska fretted about what she and her family were eating. She fasted, considered adopting the keto diet, and ran a half-marathon. She bought goji berries and chia seeds and ate organic food. But then her research brought her to read countless scientific papers and to interview dozens of experts in various fields of study, including molecular biochemistry, epidemiology and neuroscience. What Marta discovered shattered her long-held beliefs about aging and longevity. A strong support network of family and friends, she learned, lowers mortality risk by about 45 percent, while exercise only lowers it by about 23 percent. Volunteering your free time lowers it by 22 percent or so, while certain health fads like turmeric haven’t been shown to help at all. These revelations led Marta Zaraska to a simple conclusion: In addition to healthy nutrition and physical activity, deepening friendships, practicing empathy and contemplating your purpose in life can improve your lifespan. Through eleven chapters that take her around the world, from catching wild mice in the woods of central England to flower arranging with octogenarians in Japan, from laboratories to “hugging centres,” Marta embarks on an absorbing, entertaining and insightful journey to determine the habits that will have the greatest impact on our longevity. Deeply researched and expertly reported, Growing Young will dramatically change the way you seek a longer, happier life.To learn more about Marta Zaraska and her work, go to growingyoungthebook.com or zaraska.comVisit our Amazon affiliate link to get your copy of Growing Young.

Britney Whaley, a political strategist for the Working Families Party, explains how grassroots organizing paved the way for recent Democratic wins in Georgia. Also, relationships, volunteering and simple acts of kindness can help with the process of "Growing Young," science writer Marta Zaraska says. We talk to her about her new book on the topic.
When we think about health, we usually think about diet and exercise. We think about the things we are doing for our physical body to promote wellness, but what about the things we can’t see? Relationships are a big one. And we now know that loneliness and social isolation are as dangerous for our health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day! That’s an incredible comparison, one that hopefully puts into perspective how vital healthy relationships and human connection are to our well-being and longevity. On today’s Broken Brain Podcast, our host Dhru talks to Marta Zaraska, a Canadian science journalist. She has written for the Washington Post, Scientific American, New Scientist, The Atlantic, among others. She is the author of the bestselling book Growing Young: How Friendship, Optimism and Kindness Can Help You Live to 100. In this episode, Dhru and Marta talk about how diet and exercise are indeed very important to your overall health, but whether you have friends, a quality marriage, or know your neighbors matters far more for health and longevity. They discuss how loneliness does not only result from being alone—that even those who live with others can feel lonely and isolated, meaning the quality of our relationships are extremely important to our health. They also talk about how friendship, kindness, and optimism are core interventions that help us live healthier and longer lives. In this episode, we dive into: -Why so many people are lonely (3:26) -The biggest misconception around loneliness (5:53)-The importance of romantic relationships when it comes to longevity (10:50) -The Roseto effect—how a small Pennsylvania town held the secrets to a long life (14:16) -How new media consumption impacts our happiness, joy, and longevity (23:28) -Why chameleons live longer (29:29) -The connection between purpose and longevity (32:20) -The meaning of the Japanese word “ikigai”, and why it’s so important in Japanese culture (33:40) -Where listeners can learn more about Marta (37:22) For more on Marta Zaraska you can follow her on Instagram @mzaraska, on Twitter @mzaraska, and through her website https://www.zaraska.com/.

If you end up living to 100, this is the episode that you may be able to say was responsible. Jim is joined by journalist and author Marta Zaraska.

For the last 7 years, I've worked to improve human health and wellbeing by focusing on better nutrition, vigorous physical activity, sleep hygiene, and stress management. Turns out I may have been missing the most important determinants of health - the social ones. Marta Zaraska has written a book that is fun, fascinating, scientifically sound, and socially revolutionary. In Growing Young, she argues that eating well and exercising are all well and good, but spending time with friends, cultivating a positive attitude, and helping others are far more powerful (and enjoyable!) determinants of health.
Marta Zaraska is the author of Meathooked: The History and Science of Our 2.5-Million-Years Obsession with Meat, which was just published this year (2016). Marta writes about science and health for some of the most influential and prestigious publications, including Scientific American, The Atlantic, and the Washington Post. And now that she's been published on the Plant Yourself Podcast, I suppose she's reached the height of achievement ;)
