Creando lección...
1
- I asked 20 doctors from YouTube to give me one health
2
tip they give their patients as it relates to their medical specialty.
3
This video might actually save your life one day.
4
I'll go first.
5
My name is Dr. Mike.
6
I'm a family medicine doctor, which means I am one of the only specialists qualified to treat most ailments
7
and provide comprehensive healthcare for people of all ages.
8
One health tip I give my patients is to never stick anything smaller than your elbow in your ear canals.
9
This is because too many people are using tools Q -tips to pull out earwax.
10
When in reality, they're only packing earwax deeper in, and even damaging the skin, potentially leading to an infection.
11
- Hi, my name is Dr. Glockenflecken.
12
I'm an ophthalmologist.
13
Eyes, eyeballs.
14
If you think you've lost a contact lens or an eyelash in your eye, don't worry.
15
It cannot migrate back into your brain.
16
That's something a lot of people worry about.
17
It's most likely just stuck underneath your eyelid.
18
things from moving further back.
19
Hello, my name's Ed Hope.
20
I'm an NHS doctor working over in the UK in the emergency department, or as you may know it as the emergency room.
21
It's super useful for us if you ever end up in the emergency department, if you bring a list of your medication and any diagnosis you have
22
and the dates of any significant illness or operations and be prepared for a long wait.
23
So, It's always good to have your phone charger too.
24
I'm Dr. Danielle Jones, known online as Mama Dr. Jones, and I am an OB -GYN physician.
25
That means I specialize in pregnancy and gynecologic problems.
26
Stop throwing out your favorite undies because of period stains.
27
After an initial rinse, grab some powdered meat tenderizer, sprinkle it on the stain, and let it sit for about 30 minutes.
28
Throw it in the wash as usual, and when you take it out, the stain will be gone.
29
Bromalin, the active ingredient in most powdered meat tenderizers, This means that on the steak,
30
it breaks down proteins to make the cup more tender, but on a blood stain, it breaks down proteins to pull the stain out.
31
It sounds like magic, but it's actually science.
32
- Hi everybody, I'm Dr. Winters, also known as TheBentist on social media, and I am actually a dentist who specialized further to become an orthodontist,
33
and we deal with moving teeth with braces and aligners.
34
Little hack for you, because you've probably been brushing your teeth wrong your entire life.
35
Most people brush their teeth completely flat, side to side, side to side like that.
36
What you actually want to do is angle it up at a 45 degree angle
37
and get up underneath the gum tissue as well as the tooth
38
because some of your teeth hides up underneath the gum tissue and you never clean it.
39
So turn that 45 degree angle, brush your teeth for two minutes and your teeth will be cleaner than they've ever been in your entire life.
40
My name is Dr. Dana Brenz and I'm a podiatrist, which is a foot and ankle surgeon.
41
One crazy foot hack is one of the most effective topical
42
medications you can use for toenail fungus is actually just Vicks VapoRub.
43
It has eucalyptus and menthol, which are both antifungal.
44
My name is Dr. Anthony Yoon and I'm a board certified plastic surgeon.
45
One simple and natural way to plump your lips is to put a drop or two of food grade peppermint oil
46
into your lip gloss and then mix it up and then apply the gloss onto your lips.
47
It should create a very mild tingling sensation and your lips will gently plump up a bit.
48
If you're not tingling, then put a drop or two more in and try again.
49
But if your lips start to burn, then wipe it off, throw it away, and start over again with less peppermint oil.
50
Hey, hey!
51
My name is Dr. Alok Patel.
52
I'm a pediatrician, specifically a pediatric hospitalist.
53
So I take care of babies, kids, and teens who have been hospitalized for a variety of different reasons.
54
Suck up some snot.
55
For real, it's not that gross.
56
Babies and toddlers tend to have runny noses, a lot of mucus during cold and flu season, which lasts forever.
57
And you can help them out with a nasal aspirator or a nasal suctioning device.
58
It clears their nose, helps them sleep better, eat better, improves their mood, and potentially prevents a problem from getting worse.
59
It's also kind of satisfying.
60
gastroenterologist, otherwise known as a GI specialist.
61
One important hack I can offer for the gut is that colorectal cancer, which is the second leading cause of cancer deaths when men and women are combined, is often preventable.
62
We have ways to prevent this cancer, and it's often with a procedure called a colonoscopy,
63
where we can actually take a look inside the colon find these precancerous growths before they turn into cancer and remove them.
64
And that can actually help prevent cancer from happening.
65
I'm Dr. Curran and I'm a general surgeon in the NHS.
66
My job has me dealing with basically anything you can find when you rummage around someone's abdomen.
67
One day it could be cutting out bowel cancers, the next day slicing out badly behaved gallbladders.
68
The most underrated life hack for optimized bowel health is probably just eating more fiber.
69
Just 10%.
70
It's not a bad exchange.
71
10 grams of fiber is a banana and two slices of bread.
72
Easy.
73
My name is Dr. Michael Cellini and I'm a dual board certified diagnostic and interventional radiologist.
74
One secret I'd like to let you in on regarding my field of radiology is that we see everything.
75
If you swallowed a chicken bone, we see it.
76
Put something, put something somewhere, we're gonna see that too.
77
- Hey there, my name is Dr. Sanjay Duneja.
78
I am a hemalk specialist, otherwise known as hematology and medical oncology, which specializes in blood disorders and cancer.
79
One of the biggest tips that relates both to hematology and oncology, and it's not very provocative, is that we need to register for bone marrow transplants.
80
People are waiting and hoping and praying that somebody swabs their mouth
81
and sends it in because they have a short amount of time in which they'll live and have control of their cancer, and they're just hoping this random person in the United States
82
or Germany or wherever actually is a match that will save their life.
83
Hey guys, I'm Dr. Shereen Idris, a board -certified dermatologist, and I'm wearing sunglasses indoors because I just had LASIK eye surgery.
84
One tip that I really think you guys have to think hard about, especially when it comes to cosmetics and laser procedures, is the following.
85
Would you go to the dentist and get your teeth cleaned without brushing your teeth every day?
86
any sort of cosmetic procedure that you get in office.
87
- Hi, I'm Reena Malik, a urologist and pelvic surgeon.
88
That requirement of drinking eight glasses of water a day is a myth.
89
This was recommended by the US Food and Nutrition Board in 1945.
90
However, it wasn't based on any sort of evidence -based scientific research.
91
And they noted that most of these fluids are found in prepared foods.
92
So unless your doctor tells you otherwise, drink when you're thirsty.
93
If you are outdoors in hot temperatures or exercising, consider drinking a little bit more.
94
The trick is to look at your urine.
95
If it's a light yellow color like lemonade, that means you're drinking enough.
96
If it's any darker than that, consider drinking a bit more.
97
Hello, my name is Rohan.
98
I'm a consultant interventional cardiologist from the UK.
99
Every adult should know their blood pressure and their resting heart rate.
100
really useful sources of encouragement if you're embarking on an exercise program.
101
You can track both of them getting better, particularly your resting heart rate coming down in just a few weeks.
102
And that's important because the more you can lower your resting heart rate through exercise, the longer you live.
103
They actually correlate with one another.
104
So if you can, get out there and exercise regularly.
105
My name is Dr. John Patton, Doc JP3, and I'm a board certified anesthesiologist and a regional anesthesia and acute pain medicine specialist.
106
This tip goes of pregnant patients out there.
107
At the end of the day, it's totally your choice if you want to have epidural as part of your labor plan.
108
But if you do, it can be very difficult to place an epidural in someone who's in labor.
109
You have the baby who's kicking and punching and ready to come out.
110
You have your uterus that's contracting and doing his thing.
111
Then you have mom who's screaming oftentimes, "Where's the anesthesiologist?
112
Get them in the room now.
113
I'm ready for my epidural." And for us, really getting into that position that we need you to get in to allow us to place that epidural
114
We need you to have your head down, your shoulders down.
115
All right, you're going to be forming the letter C.
116
You're curving your back out towards the anesthesiologist, like almost like, you know, a shrimp or an angry cat.
117
That really allows for those spaces back there between the spinous processes to open up
118
so that we can get that epidural needle in and place
119
that catheter into the epidural space so we can start giving you the medication and getting you comfortable.
120
Hi, my name is Dr. Antonio Webb.
121
I'm a board certified orthopedic spine surgeon here in San Antonio, Texas.
122
will have back pain.
123
One tip is to keep your weight down.
124
The more weight that you have been applied to the cushions or to the disc in the spine can lead to degeneration.
125
and that can cause back pain.
126
It's said that each additional pound of extra weight leads to four additional pounds of pressure across your disc.
127
So if you have 200 extra pounds of weight, you have about 800 extra pounds of force that has been applied to your spine that can wear down your spine,
128
the disc, cause arthritis, degeneration, and lead to pain.
129
Hi, my name is Dr. Brian Suter, and I'm a non -surgical sports medicine doctor who focuses on treating orthopedic and musculoskeletal and athletes.
130
If you have a new injury like a sprained ankle where there's a lot of swelling, a good way to help reduce the pain and inflammation is through the use of ice.
131
A great way to do this is to actually take a bag of frozen vegetables like peas
132
or corn and use that to help ice the area.
133
You can throw it back in the freezer when you're done
134
and it helps to really conform to the joint you're trying to ice.
135
Just don't eat it afterwards.
136
Hi everybody, this is Dr. Jessie Gold.
137
I'm a psychiatrist, which means I look at the brain -body connection or really I'm a feelings how you're doing.
138
And don't just like do it occasionally, do it every day.
139
It's really important that we give ourselves time to recognize our own feelings and emotions and not judge them.
140
Feelings are not good or bad, they're just feelings and we need to give ourselves space to have to acknowledge them and deal with them.
141
Literally everyone can benefit from therapy.
142
I'm well aware that that is a privileged response and access isn't available for everyone, but don't just see therapy as something you do when you have a problem.
143
Think about how it can to therapy every week and I really find benefit to it.
144
It makes me better at my job.
145
It helps me care for patients better and helps me in all aspects of my life.
146
What's going on everybody?
147
My name is Dr. Cedric James Franklin Rutland and I'm a pulmonary critical care specialist,
148
which means I focus on diseases of the lung and I take care of individuals who are admitted to the intensive carrier.
149
The number one tip that I have for individuals,
150
don't smoke and pay attention control what we put in our mouths.
151
And if you're putting a cigarette or a vape pen or a marijuana cigarette in your mouth, it is going to cause some degree of inflammation in your lung.
152
I don't care what anybody else tries to tell you.
153
That is 100%.
154
- True.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
