1
When I would wake up at like six in the morning and go to the rooftop of my apartment building,
2
there would be a lot of people just maybe meditating or doing their morning exercise, you know, and swinging their arms.
3
What's up, everybody?
4
Podcast, slow and clear.
5
Go what's up, English.
6
In this podcast today, you are going to learn a lot of words and phrases about health.
7
Not just physical health, but mental health as well, because both of them kind of go together.
8
And sometimes when we think about health, we just think about the physical part, like our bodies.
9
But of course, your mental health is extremely important too.
10
So today, you won't only learn English about health,
11
like words and phrases, but you might also learn some interesting facts about health.
12
Because I always like to make my podcast interesting, right?
13
I want to maybe tell you something you might not know yet.
14
And so yeah, so there are a lot of things to talk about when it comes to health.
15
But I'm going to shorten it down to these three things.
16
First, I'll tell you what I do for my own mental and physical health
17
and the things that I could definitely improve to make my health better.
18
Because no one's perfect, right?
19
We all do things that are not good for our health.
20
Number two, I will tell you guys some simple things that you can do to improve your health.
21
And then thirdly, we're going to look at some superstitions in Asia to see are they true or not.
22
For example, does drinking icy drinks or cold drinks give you a sore throat?
23
Or will you die if you take a shower at nighttime?
24
And the third one we'll look at is, is sleeping early good for you or not?
25
And before you start yelling at your phone screen or your computer screen that, Carter, of course, sleeping early is good for you.
26
I'm not saying if anything is true or false.
27
We're just going to look at some studies to see what we know up until now.
28
Okay, guys, so before we begin, I have to quickly promote my product,
29
right, which is the 1000 most common words in English.
30
So if you are a beginner and you want to build a strong foundation in English,
31
one of the most important things to do is learn vocabulary.
32
But not any vocabulary.
33
You want to learn the core vocabulary that people use every day and that will be useful for you.
34
And that's why I created my product, The Thousand most common English words and it has a thousand words in English,
35
example sentences so you know how to use them with the Vietnamese translation.
36
It has the IPA so you know how to pronounce the words
37
and every single word and sentence has audio of me reading it.
38
So I say the word and then a pause
39
so you can repeat it and then I say the sentence and then another pause so you can repeat the sentence.
40
So all you need to do is put those files on your phone or computer.
41
You can study them while you're on the bus or you can listen to them while you're washing dishes, when you go to the bathroom, whatever.
42
It's convenient, it's simple, and it is only $79k.
43
So if you want to check that out, just click the link in the description below.
44
Thank you so much and thank you to everyone who has bought the product and who has supported me.
45
I hope you're loving the product and again, thank you so much for your support.
46
So let's get started with the first part of the podcast where I will tell you about my own health.
47
And don't worry, I won't talk too much about myself.
48
But first, I'll talk a little bit about mental health.
49
Not too much because that can have its own podcast.
50
It's such a large topic.
51
So to be honest guys, I am the type of person who has struggled with feeling depressed.
52
I'm sure many of you can relate.
53
It's been something that I have dealt with since I was a little kid.
54
And so over time I realized there are some things I have to do to keep the depression away
55
and to feel better.
56
And maybe you see me on YouTube making these videos and you think, depression?
57
No, no way.
58
He's normal, quote unquote.
59
But to be honest, this channel really helps with the depression because it feels good to help people.
60
It feels good to contribute to society.
61
I love reading the positive comments that so many people put on my videos.
62
It feels good to build something and to be working towards something in the future.
63
And for me, the action of building something
64
and always looking forward to something bigger is really important for my mental health
65
because I feel like if I'm not doing anything, if I have nothing to look forward to in the future,
66
then that's when the depression starts to come back and creep in.
67
And so if you guys are struggling with some of those feelings of depression or feeling a bit bored with life,
68
which I know so many people feel, if you feel that way, you are not alone.
69
Trust me.
70
Then just maybe start something.
71
Even if it's so small and it seems meaningless to you right now, just start.
72
even if it's a YouTube channel, if it's a little short story, a mini book, whatever it may be,
73
a drawing, a painting, just start it.
74
And I truly believe simply starting it will help you to feel better.
75
But this isn't a podcast on depression or anything.
76
So let's move on to the next thing.
77
And so for my physical health, I go to the gym around three or four times a week.
78
I started doing this more in the summer because I had more time.
79
During the school year, it was difficult with my job.
80
I used to train Muay Thai, but now I haven't because my schedule doesn't align with my trainer.
81
It's a bit hard.
82
I just trained Muay Thai.
83
I did not fight because I want to protect my brain.
84
I try to eat healthy.
85
And in Vietnam, I think it's easier to eat healthy than in the West.
86
In the West, it's definitely more expensive to eat healthy.
87
But in Vietnam, there are a lot of different healthy options for food.
88
And by healthy, I mean not too much oil, like no fried food, not too much sugar, not too much salt.
89
So for example, pho for me would be a healthy choice.
90
It might be a little bit high on salt, but it's much better than something like fried chicken.
91
And the ingredients are fresh.
92
It's not processed.
93
and with a lot of Vietnamese food they have more fresh vegetables.
94
So it's pretty easy to put fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet
95
when you eat Vietnamese food and you know you drink a smoothie with low sugar something like that.
96
Now to be honest one thing I do that isn't very healthy is I order food all the time.
97
I don't cook very often, maybe once every few weeks, and so I often order food.
98
I try to order healthy food, not fast food or any junk food,
99
but that is something that I could definitely improve for myself.
100
For sleep, I do have periods where I fall asleep around 10.30 or 11.
101
But then sometimes it creeps up and then it's 11.30, 12, 12.30, 1.
102
And then all of a sudden I'm going to bed late
103
and I'm waking up late and then I have to reset to go to bed early again.
104
But if you have to wake up early for work, then that can help you to keep a steady sleep schedule.
105
And sleep, I think is, well, we know sleep is so important, not just for your physical health, but for your mental health as well.
106
It helps with your immune system.
107
It helps you recover after you exercise, many, many things.
108
All right, so let's talk about some simple things that you can do now to improve your health.
109
So one thing that I learned about and I found super, super helpful is to get sunlight early in the morning.
110
Now, I think many Vietnamese, of course, naturally know about this
111
because when I would wake up at like 6 in the morning
112
and go to the rooftop of my apartment building to get the sunlight in my eyes,
113
there would be a lot of people just maybe meditating or doing their morning exercise, you know, and swinging their arms.
114
And I was surprised at how many people were awake at 5.30, 6 in the morning.
115
And I know if you go to some parks, then it's just full of people.
116
doing exercise.
117
So the Vietnamese already know this.
118
Get sunlight early in the morning because it helps let your brain know that the day is starting.
119
It apparently can boost your mood and it helps you fall asleep later
120
that night because it helps to set your sleep schedule.
121
So they say you should get about 10 to 30 minutes of sunlight in your eyes each morning.
122
If it's cloudy, then it doesn't work as well, but it's still better than nothing.
123
And they say get that sunlight within the first two hours after the sun rises
124
or just when you wake up as early as possible.
125
So that's the first thing you can do to improve your
126
health is get sunlight early in the morning to help with your energy levels, to boost your mood and to help you fall asleep that night.
127
OK, so the next one, number two, is cut out the processed foods.
128
So I know they're delicious and they're cheap, but personally, I do not think it's worth it when there are other options.
129
So those things like those meat sticks that are balls of meat that are unnatural shapes,
130
unnatural colors, snacks that you buy at the Win Marts or the Circle Ks,
131
all of those things are all highly processed.
132
anything that comes in a package, basically.
133
And the reason why you should avoid those,
134
try to reduce them, is that they found they are highly associated with cancer.
135
So they're associated with breast cancer and some colorectal cancers.
136
And cancer is becoming more and more common in young people these days.
137
and they believe one of the biggest reasons is all of the processed foods.
138
So not only can they cause cancer, but they have a lot of things like sugar and fat and salt,
139
so they can cause the chronic inflammation in your body, which lead to other health issues.
140
It's better to just avoid them.
141
Okay, so number one is get sunlight.
142
Number two is avoid processed foods.
143
And number three is meditate.
144
Meditate.
145
So maybe you've tried meditation and you just felt like it was impossible to do.
146
Like you close your eyes, you focus on your breathing,
147
in, out, and then you're thinking about 20 different things and you think, okay, I can't do this.
148
This is too hard.
149
But like anything else, meditation requires practice.
150
So even if you start with one minute a day, just one minute, and then maybe you do that for a few days,
151
and then you go to two minutes, and then three minutes, it will get easier the more you practice it.
152
And it's really, really good for you.
153
For example, it can reduce stress.
154
It can increase your emotional health.
155
It improves your concentration and your sleep quality.
156
And all of these things have been proven scientifically.
157
There is a lot of research done for meditation that shows how beneficial it is for our health.
158
So if you want to do something that can pretty much improve your health immediately,
159
then just try meditating for even one minute.
160
Like after this podcast, close your eyes and just focus on your breath in through your nose, out through your mouth.
161
And over time, you can learn different techniques, but just focus on the basic thing, which is your breathing.
162
Just focus on your breathing.
163
Okay, so those are three things to improve your health, get sunlight in the morning, avoid processed foods, and meditate.
164
So now let's talk about the three common beliefs in Asia.
165
Number one, does drinking cold, icy drinks give you a sore throat?
166
Well, according to science, this is false because there is no evidence
167
that shows a link between drinking icy drinks and having a sore throat.
168
What they say is that sore throats are usually caused by viral or bacterial infections,
169
allergens, or irritants.
170
so drinking something cold they say it may cause you to feel a bit of discomfort temporarily
171
if you already have a sore throat and it's funny though
172
because I remember
173
when I was like seven years old I had strep throat like a really bad bacterial infection in my throat
174
and the doctor he gave me antibiotics
175
and after he gave me antibiotics he said now you should go have some ice cream
176
and so that advice is completely opposite to what they would say in Asia
177
but apparently according to science cold things are fine for your throat.
178
This belief it might come from the fact that the cold temperatures in your throat can affect the mucus membrane,
179
but there is still no link to show that cold drinks can cause a sore throat.
180
And the funny thing is, when I was teaching, I often got sore throats.
181
Like once every two weeks, I would get a bit of a sore throat for like a day.
182
But now that summer is here and I haven't been teaching, I have not gotten sick.
183
So I think just being at the school, that's what gets me sick, not drinking icy drinks.
184
Okay, number two, can you die if you shower at night?
185
According to research, this is also false.
186
So the main idea behind this belief is that the temperature change after you take a shower,
187
for example, if you take a hot shower and then you go into the cold room, then that temperature change could cause a stroke.
188
But so far, according to the scientific studies, they did not find a link.
189
But in older people, there is some evidence that extreme temperatures can cause a heart attack,
190
which is why there are more strokes and heart attacks in the winter than in the other seasons.
191
So if you do shower, try not to go from an extreme temperature to another extreme temperature.
192
Don't go from super hot to very cold or don't go from very cold to very hot.
193
Okay, so the third belief is that sleeping early is good for you.
194
This one, of course, is true.
195
Sleeping early is good for you.
196
And studies have shown that sleeping earlier can help you align your circadian rhythm
197
because the sun goes down pretty early and when it's dark, that's what is supposed to tell your brain that it's time to sleep.
198
and if you sleep early, you get a good sleep.
199
If you get a good sleep, it increases your cognitive function.
200
It makes your brain perform better and basically, yeah, it's just a natural good thing to do.
201
Going to bed early, waking up early is good for us.
202
That's what the evidence says.
203
So yeah, that will be it for this podcast.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
