- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Professor and Chair of the Department of Nutrition Sciences at Drexel University, Dr. Volpe confronts our popular denial of growing older and older every day. Dr. Volpe points out that it is never too late to start becoming an active and healthy individual - We just need to face that fact that exercise and eating habits are the best of attaining that.
Dr. Stella Lucia Volpe is Professor and Chair of the Department of Nutrition Sciences at Drexel University. Dr. Volpe is Past-Chair of the United States’ President’s Council for Fitness, Sports and Nutrition. Dr. Volpe is a nutritionist and exercise physiologist who has built a program of research focusing on three interrelated areas that traverse the lifespan: 1) obesity and diabetes prevention via mineral supplementation, 2) weight management through diet, exercise and educational programs, and 3) environmental change leading to weight management. She recently finished conducting a randomized controlled trial on the effect of magnesium supplementation on the prevention of the metabolic syndrome. She has also become interested in studying the effects of the Human-Animal Interaction on weight loss and health in children and older adults. Prior to beginning her faculty appointment at Drexel University, Dr. Volpe was on faculty at the University of Pennsylvania, and previous to that, she was on faculty at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Dr. Volpe is both a Certified Clinical Exercise Specialist (American College of Sports Medicine [ACSM]), and a Registered Dietitian. She is a Fellow of the ACSM, and a past Vice President of the ACSM.
Dr. Volpe is a competitive athlete in field hockey, rowing and ice hockey. She enjoys being active with her husband, Gary and their German Shepherd dogs, Sasha and Bear.

Very encouraging talk. She seems to really care about the elderly and aging population. I'm inspired at 50. I started eating better and exercising in my late 40's, and my body forgave me quickly and responded well. I feel better than I did in my 20's and 30's. I do wish I'd begun sooner, but onward and upward. I'm feeling more hopeful about the last third (Lord willing) of my time here on earth.
How did you improve was it a big improvement etc I've damaged myself and want to heal, not sure what to eat to do so. As all the information I receive is difficult to decipher.
@@Chris-kr7gg I quit all dieting for one thing. I started moving just for the joy of it rather than trying to change the shape. Such a relief to lay that burden down. Crowd out the junk with lots of whole foods, fruits, vegetables, and eat when hungry, but eat the burger and fries now and then. So much happier.
NO MATTER WHAT YOU EAT IF YOUR GUT BACTERIA IS "OVERGROWN " IT WILL STEAL YOUR NUTRIENTS!
Read about (SIBO) small intestinal bacteria overgrowth!

Absolutely
Nothing like watching TALKS on show.
G8 G8 show .I can't imagine anything more valuable .
When i was young i drank and smoked and did everything to get a buzz until hangovers took longer and longer to get over. But i still needed the buzz i was addicted to dopamine. The only thing i could do was exercise aerobics then the gym. As time went on i would have to do more and more to get a really good high. Now it's become just like all the other addictions in my life i spend all my spare time running or at the gym away from my family i spend loads of money on outfits, diet supplements caffeine isotonic electrolyte drinks and worst of all i become nervous and edgy if i miss a day. I now think that enjoying life means no stress no coffee and a healthy balanced diet without supplements and a glass of wine is just fine.
Same here.....gym and running has become an addiction.
You have ADHD.
No problem. I never set lofty goals. I always make sure I'm able to exceed my lowest expectations.
My family is focused on supporting my 95 year old Grandma...and providing a healthy lifestyle... Right now, there is a lot of wonderful time spent encouraging and celebrating her everyday. We’re hoping to continue good habits and increase energy with new experiences 🙂
Thank you for providing this informative video online!
Exercise and nutrition!! Yess the greatestmedicine on earth

I learned some things from this:) thank-you. it’s also really interesting to see you’re competitive in both field and ice hockey. You’re living by your words:)

This is very timely and informative as it advocates that old age is not a disease. There have been misconceptions that older people may not be able to do or achieve things due to old age, however it is not totally true. We agree that old age should not be a hindrance for us to do the things we want or enjoy, however we have to maintain our physical wellbeing as we grow older. Reviving Mind also encourages older adults to move or exercise often as it helps in maintaining their strengths and physical capacity.
I am 55 and I weight train 3 days per week, Leg day is once per week, and I squat 235 lbs for 5 sets of 5 reps.
TQVM Dr Volpe
Good and glad to see this
Very informative. Ty
Quite informative, a lot of food for thought.
I SWIM ALL WINTER & I STARTED AT 71 YEARS OLD.
I swim mostly under water with the DOLPHIN KICK.
I definitely see & feel an improvement every day.
The DOLPHIN KICK exercises the trunk & that's a tremendous benefit .
@SJL
My coldest swim was in ice water & I only made 2 laps.
Greatest exercise ever!
@SJL UNDERSTAND!
I started 3 years ago.
Now I'm 74 & wish I'd started at 30!
Thanks!
Duncan Donut commercial before this. Oh the irony!
Yes as for teaching the middle age who do no exercise. set achievable incremental goals and reward and encourage smallest efforts.

Intermittent fasting over here. I was with her until the breakfast part
Change your environment, soda vinegar, happy stomach, less medicine, exercise at all ages, do not underestimate food and over exercises eating breakfast increases metabolism, eat breakfast otherwise increased cravings which is ok if you don't give in, increase healthier options, healthier now means healthier older and also weight
I stopped doing things because I have bone spurs that even surgery cannot correct. My joints will not move properly anymore and cause excruciating pain. I cannot walk. I used to do competitive martial arts. I used to dance. I used to walk for an hour every day. Now I can't walk a flight of stairs or even use a treadmill without pain, so don't lecture me about moving more. I do the best I can riding a bike and doing yoga whenever I get the chance. But with an old lady's metabolism, I'd have to do these things for 4-5 hours a day to make a difference since the calorie deficit these activities create don't make a dent in a bowl of oatmeal. As far as food is concerned, I try to eat healthfully, but menopause changes everything. It's like the weight gain is inevitable but you're going to be told you're doing things all wrong no matter what you do.
Wow I feel you 🙏🏽blessings for you and I hope you’re doing better now
How come the camera operator can never get the full power point in the viewfinder?? Why are we looking at the floor half the time?
The problem with american food that it has more sugar than in Europe, and Americans eat faster
And they know everything, about everything.
Exercise & Keto diet implementación. TNX
-Exercise/Keto
-Do not surrender with yrs.
-No sugar,
Tomás Andrés
The Keto diet is ridiculous, not to mention that the research is muddled and has no definitive positive gain over the long run.
Keto is bad long term.
Really great information shared, some quite general but good nonetheless :)
The content was great, but severely limited by not showing the slides Dr. Volpe was showing. The data that shows the impact of the approaches would have been much more useful.
Dave Oatway agreed! Come on Camera crew. You had one job to do.
Thank you. You guys are wonderful!
Agree! I think they had that camera on a tripod and never moved it. Shame.
We all need to take more resposible for our own health and fitness. People will only change when they themselves decide. I do "the zone" and I weigh my food to ensure I eat what I say. I also do Crossfit and record what I do so that it can be measured. One of my favourites is box jums, I can do 30" easily many times. This morning I decided to see if I could jump from my knees and land on my feet. After 3 tries I got it. My point is you only ever have one possession from birth to death, that is your body. The advice in the talk is valid but studying it and telling people what they should do is generally wasted because people already know what they should be doing. To prove her point though I am 72 male and am at a better level of fitness and health than at any time in my life. It is never too late to take a 1st step.
abbatis34 congratulations on keeping yourself fit at 72✅✅✅ Wishing to be able to do those jumps also when I get 72..actively working on it yayyy #Proudness 🙏💟 Keep it up!
Do ping shuai gong...you can find this in typing it in youtube...and comment.
I hope your right im 54 and body falling apart
God bless you that is so inspiring for even adults who dont care about what they put in their body to let their body rewards them all the benefit just give the body what it need and body will give u health and longevity.
@@HeathifyMyLife
Diet is no problem, but getting up & walking around the block is. I have been around the block a hundred times. I am 78 now, would it make a difference?. My laziness exceeds my curiosity.
volunteer here! i will do any assignment. i miss being healthy and walking my friend's German Sheppard. She kept the pace for us. Unfortunately, she passed-cancer. If i can ever afford it, i would get a German Sheppard. (or two)!
mrshammerhankus You shouldn't need a dog in order to motivate you to exercise. Just start walking everyday, then power walking, then jogging, then running, then sprinting and so on.
You need a good pair of running shoes, not a pair of German shepherds.
my grand daughter came for a weekend so, I did walk some laps while she ran circles around me. so, you are right.
Go to an animal rescue shelter for a dog.
I wish the sound was better!
It depends on what one eats for breakfast. Whether its good or not.
exercise is for everyone....and nutrition should be like all the other mammals water and plants
very good lecturer.sweet dogs!
Now if the doctor would just tell me how to exercise with arthritic knees and hips such that I simply cannot walk long distances.
Warthog go swimming perhaps,?
Have you tried a trampoline
There's new scientific data; there's some obsolete info here about the slowing of the metabolism. A low calorie diet will slow the metabolism; intermittent fasting of various ways and fasting does not slow the metabolism. IF increases insulin sensitivity and glutathione.
Thank you for this comment!
I eat breakfast at 1600 hrs or later
I quit breakfast and I dropped weight and feel very happpy
Impressive willpower.
Was the breakfast thing based on studies or imagination/old wives' tale? I loose more or gain less fat when I don't eat breakfast, hypothetically due to the insulin effect or lack of. My BMI ~20 at middle age, and I make great food choices through out the day. Understood that I'm sample of 1, so if there are studies, can someone post the links?
I would like to see those studies too :)
Because I've seen studies that show you don't actually slow your metabolism by skipping a meal, in that study they found you have to skip three days of food before your metabolism slowed down :O
So what she said goes directly against that, but she just stated a "fact".
Which makes me thing it's an "old wives tale" retold. Maybe no one corrected her so she accepted it as a universal truth, just like I did until May 2017, just three months ago :)
+Cindy I'll join you, so we are a sample of two. I often start eating around noon, and yet by BMI is almost exactly 20. I am satisfied with my food choices, too, but also would like to see those studies.
My "breakfast" is a small cup of espresso. I think she is still spinning the old wives' tale. My BMI is 22, at age 53. The "three meal a day" thing is just not proven, and it is causing a lot of people to eat more calories than they should. At least she got that part right.
It's an idea promoted by the food industry.
There is a lot of money in "breakfast" foods.
Like another (below) I fast most days and break that fast about noon after a period of 15-20 hours without calorie intake.
Recent evidence shows much benefit from intermittent fasting - lower insulin levels, increased ketosis, weight control, autophagy etc.
Eating Three meals a day was a European tradition based on no science. Exercising more than your food intake is the basic scientific way to lose weight. Eat less and exercise more equals larger weightloss.
11.42 exercise starts
Slides not visible
A wipe always works lol
Does she realize that most pasta is made with processed refined wheat flour?
I go for whole wheat pasta myself. I don’t know what to do about the refined processed part.
Master of the obvious
This portion is brought to you by Gerber foods. My goodness, this is ted talk?
1st Time Watching This Broadcast
OK for taking the stairs unless your office is on the 47th floor.... I challenge you to do that everyday going to work....
Get off one floor before yours?
Forty is not an older age group. I am sixty-nine diet and exercise, but the fact is your metabolism slows down! COPD set in. You could donate better service to those who watch by saying middle-aged people. It requires double the exercise band 800 calories a day to lose weight.
I am under the care of an endocrinologist and that is the worst thing you can do.
How do you know if your audience is Canadian or American. In all of Canada you would say Hockey. In most of the USA you would say ice hockey.
Ok for exercise and it seems that no exercise will get you to get rid of your glasses....unless there is one exercise for that..??
251 people make way too many excuses...
The ‘eat breakfast’ part is faulty and completely unsubstantiated. Old wives’ tales live on...
go with this guy- Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt is a Swedish medical doctor specialized in family medicine. SHe read alot of bs books! who funds her?
Do you get in your car and try to drive without any gas???
Haha. You can hardly compare driving a car on an empty tank and a human body first thing in the morning. * A little insignificant organ called a liver anyone?? Nice try Dona...
Exactly.
As I said above, there is a lot of money in "breakfast" foods.
Dear Dr.My age is58, When I knew that my LDL is 134, I started jogging in the morning atleast 40 min. daily, Sir, may I continue this jogging??
ok for correction
You're making the mistake that many researchers make. You're hypothesizing "why" women gained back the weight and stopped exercising. You believe what is needed is just a "behavior" change...amazing.
So basically eating healthy and exercising increases better health. Saved you 18 min of talking.
Lol basically. It's common sense
What a waste of research money this has already been done many many times. Nothing new to see here.
Z🤠
I learned nothing from that , i already know...eating breakfast ...wow...everyone knows that.
Same old stuff.
Sorry lost interest - typical research presentation can't present!
15 mins in, learned nothing. All waffle with an undercurrent of some sort of study which really doesn't reveal anything that isn't common knowledge.
So basically she conducted a study. The study failed. So she waffkes on about theories that are biased to her ideology with no scientific back up! Well done! What a waste of time that was.
Bunch of generic stuff here. Nothing new. But thinking about it, maybe that's the point, I don't know.
not very old lady
5 years old and outdated.....yet new research says humans have been around before McDonalds.
She wants to force people to be healthy???? How's that working out?
Recidivism is a rude word for regaining weight.
What a flake...
It's actually a very kind euphemism for saying one lacks self discipline and returns to self indulgent habits.
Triggered replies, wow.
go with this guy- Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt is a Swedish medical doctor specialized in family medicine. SHe read alot of bs books! who funds her?
Let's see now. Go outside and breathe chemicals. Come back home and eat more chemicals. That's a great solution for getting older.
danmar007 lol
danmar007 😂
Everything is a chemical, even us!
I heard a doc said even if your place is near a toxic place its still better to get outside n get vit d from the sunshine n k2 and deep breath for lungs
This is a very poor lecture. Its badly put together, she frequently goes off topic.
She didn't really explain anything. It was just generalizing about any age group and common sense.
