season 0 founder sally. bianco could host its modern day heroes an. inspirational people who take on the challenges of the world with their unique ideas from. the person who would face off from her own minds to look at those 2 problems and make them one clear notion the new season of sounders valley. starts june 13th d.w. . welcome to in good shape coming up. probiotics and why they're not always healthy. always online how smartphones have taken over our lives. and time pressure

how much stress can we take we'll find out from our hosts dr cost and. yes i know i know but. i don't have time for this and all i have to work don't have time come on. i'm still on the phone sorry. come on come up like i don't have time for this sorry i'm on the phone. i will end this call i've got to work i could restart now please i don't have time. oh hello hello and welcome to in good shape you know stress is not good for you it's not good for your health up there some expert who claims that stress might be good and it might even be healthy and this is back and i don't need to hear really i don't need to know. i'm kind of late out.

of the office. don't think threats are always negative it can help you have a happy life. do you know this problem in your practice there are more than 30 patients waiting for you and you have to do this show presentation and in the evening this is big god i have to attend no you don't have those problems but you certainly have your own problems and you could use more than 24 hours every day but would this solve the problem. for dance teacher every day begins with a warm up breakfast and emails so multimedia slate. nowadays a lot of people try to save time by multitasking. but

just foster living actually improve our lives. trapped overwhelmed. modern life can often leave us feeling buried in demands and responsibilities. but can we withdraw from this constantly accelerating world and liberate ourselves from the tyranny of time. what also is a sociologist who analyzes time he looks into how time is structured how it changes in our society and the effect it has on us. this on this is one aspect is the technical acceleration that we're experiencing everywhere ships airplanes and cars are getting faster and they're not only getting faster there are

more and more of them and social transformations are also speeding up the world is in constant flux in every way you can possibly imagine work practices fashion trends the landscapes of ports and cities are changing ever faster so we try to live faster and it's all rooted in economic processes increased production and pressure to grow. modern transportation has radically shortened journey times but we generally don't use the time we save to rest and relax instead we work harder rather than write a letter as we once did we've lost dozens of emails and texts. and we often cram the rest of our free time full of other activities striving towards unattainable fitness and beauty standards can also leave us feeling like we're not keeping up. however be it privately old professionally trying to do more in string can timeframes results in a dreadful paradox. you know sweet gain

through technological developments results in time pressure not more free time. in the struggle skins at the end of the day we'll go to bed with a guilty conscience because once again we didn't finish everything that was demanded of us or that we demanded of ourselves that we wanted to get done with the time that we need to complete our to do lists always exceeds the time we actually have and this notorious unease the feeling of. faster influences how we live enormously. it also influences language coffee to go. speed dating fast food these phrases also express our desire to reduce the time needed for common everyday activities to an absolute minimum we eventually reach a point where we're simply not stable to meet all the demands that come with this

increased pressure and acceleration. the result is burnout complete mental and physical exhaustion and the rejection of the unfillable to months being made of us . it's obvious that we should just slow down the celebration is the solution but i'm skeptical as long as we don't change the structures of society including our economic systems we're condemned to keep giving ever more so if we as individuals try to slow down we fall off the treadmill we become outsiders in society who cannot connect with others and if we do it collectively as a society we get left behind in the global system. relating to the world and finding things to connect with can help people to avoid alienation. uses the term resonance and it can be found everywhere in nature other people and art.

mentions that only humans are astonishingly creative when it comes to finding a little escape strategies that every daily routine harbors its own possibilities and that's why i think art is so important as is music for many people because it opens the mind to the possibility of other ways of being used. not allowing time to overwhelm us and consciously stepping back to appreciate the all important little things can help us. to enjoy life it's all right in place. and i'm with jack called on dad he's a psychologist here believe. stress coach and he found some time to talk to me this very nice things thank you many people have problems with all the appointments and

they feel stressed because they have to go from one appointment to another. stress time pressure a big stress on our society and its example for positive threats because in the work environment we need some time smog deadlines to try his energy from the pressure and sir tension direct into focus and look to. the deadlines that is good for the healthy a problem it's not good for the employees is it. getting things done but they are stressed by doing it yeah but our brain is sometimes very lazy and we need to external pressure a. time pressure on a deadline to generate focus and motivation and to decide what is the most important thing on the in a in the work today or this week on this month or this year and a deadline generates focus and that's very good for the rock environment that is a thing of our days here of this year that everybody feel stressed.

as to where the level of stress falls both in the work environment whole importance to the business environment and that could be really negative because if i talked to you and i said i have a lot of stress from morning to evening because it was. so important you are so busy and that venerates mosses and most of them must rest and. every person has or. responsibility to find their own way to cope stress and to channel our energy from wanting to even ing in the right way you say that stress is not always unhealthy in something like good stress stress. it's a big differences. in stress and long term stress and our brain is made for short term stress like the rhythm of push and push. we need sometimes to push and

motivation and push push push and discipline and motivation and then we need some time for relax to go in the flow and push and that's a big difference between the stress it's a resume push and pull and i'm. a long term stresses push push push push push from monday to sunday and the whole year only push and that's very unhealthy for our brain because it's the rhythm is not natural and there's even been some time in your biography where you felt very stressed he told me yeah i played professional waterpolo in the 1st division and also captain of the team and i studied psychology and then at the same time i worked for an investor on the island and that was the reason that i fall into a brownout mistress been on. 21 quito overweight and the stress made me ill and then my passion for the topic was 1000000000 they have lots and lots of things to

do you can go to the cinema to the theater j. can do spots and exercise and so on and so on so this should be a nice thing but it could even be stressful if you have a lot of options and austerity you have a lot of stress to find the best one the best or the best option and my saying it's could be. energy to have a lot of options for relaxing venice bogs and nature and so on and there's one question what makes me happy find my own my own voice and follow my own my own. way the way of take up so asking the question what makes me happy could be the key in coping with stress yeah you could you could release a lot of stress of expectations from this site he or your parents or the neighbors i don't know the colleagues and so on and it's very or unnecessary to find you own way of life your own rhythm your own energy your own expectation management and

that's the best way. to know what stresses me out and somebody always calls me on my phone i mean we're always online right now with all the smartphones and tablets and wait a 2nd. just based. oh no i'm still presenting the show. is that. whether we're on the go or standing still smartphones have become part of our daily lives most of us carry one around with us all the time meaning the devices are constantly commanding our attention. one recent study found that people check their phone an average of 88 times a day to stream videos chat with friends or read up on the news. germans spend around to wonder how for hours a day online. and among young people the average is 7 hours.

you are a scientist heading back refuses to take out his phone while use waiting for the bus we'll reveal the reason later but why is it that we feel compelled to check our devices all the time. nothing more interesting than something that's new naturally curious right from birth and we love things that are surprising when it's modern really cater to that. the researcher is visiting a think tank in frankfurt that advises companies on future trends cultural anthropologist. us runs a workshop on the effects of digital media on our lives. i believe it's driven by the uses desire for response you want tonight someone written to me. if someone tried to reach me if i continue like everyone wants a response. another factor is our hatred of boredom as illustrated by a study in the us scientists left test subjects to wait alone in

a room they were hooked up to a machine with which they could give themselves a mild electric shock. after just a few minutes 2 thirds of the men and a quarter of the women had indeed pressed the button it's this aversion to boredom along with our natural curiosity and desire to have others respond to us that social media platforms and smartphone apps exploit but what kind of effect is this having on us. all this technology has 2 main effects 1st of all our attention span has got a lot shorter our attention tends to jump from one subject to another check and over time it becomes more difficult for us to set priorities to differentiate between what's important and what's not. ability to differentiate it is exactly what we need when we're confronted with so much information. in some cases it can

feel like an addiction with people developing withdrawal symptoms when they're without their phones. we shouldn't laugh about it. but it is funny. era of the smartphone has led to an outbreak of abnormal behavior that's no longer healthy. you can watch names of many people take their friends everywhere even if they're just going to another dream or that somebody and even when they don't have their friends with them they start to imagine that hearing fiber ations all ringing sound as such coming up with god if he said he was in europe the relationship we have with our phones. to get from hand. you just wanted to check the time on your phone and before you know it you're caught up reading something else. people find themselves checking their apps or email for notifications clicking from link to link or streams or stream. it's behavior reminiscent of animals pacing

back and forth in their cages. and then there's phone or fear of missing out by seeing what your friends are doing . if. it's friday night you had to halt we were planning to spend the evening on the couch with a good book can get a nightly night. everyone just down time like that. but then you look at your phone and you see on facebook that that's a concert tonight that you want to go to manage. and on instagram you discover that your friends are meeting it's about around the corner. and you're actually doing nothing could actually be very fruitful it's when we slow down that our brains have the chance to get creative. the 2 experts are convinced that mindfulness can be

a helpful tool in the digital age. and if it's someone who doesn't. your body needs time to digest if you just keep on eating your explode it's the same with information your brain needs to be able to review things a priority and have time to think. and that's why handing back leaves his phone in his pocket while he's waiting for the bus that way he can take just the things he's just experienced. with me and we do the interview and both of us we don't have time for that because he very stressed but we saw during the interview not long ago when we got up in the morning with some coffee right now we just get up and we go to a smartphone i mean this is stressing isn't it yeah there's a solution could be your morning routine because a lot of from morning and evening in that mode all that's it and then we act and

react and the news inside the smartphone could be terrorism war whatever and that's very negative for our brain and solution of the morning routine and that could be that you are taking your time the 1st 30 minutes of the day to be proactive i my morning routine is 100 pushups and writing my great through diary and that's proactive and i'm i'm setting my focus on positive things and a little bit of exercise in the morning and that led to steps every morning of the game changer for healthy life full of energy really i don't do push ups like it came to them but i could write a diary but it doesn't really help to get me away from my smartphone addiction. yet that's. real because our friends and family are inside the smartphone

and our brain one wants a lot of the taman to every every minute every moment and that a lot of entertainment facebook. instagram you tube whatever and great you would die we need consciousness and a lot a little bit of energy but it's a very very helpful to create the opposite again dangerous and and thought about the future and negative things in our lives and we see the completely 360 great of the life. and what i do use in my smartphone and i really like it it's the calendar and all the appointments disk and just me out of the column the management or number one it's the 1st surgery is take your time for that reg station and for a break in your new week from monday to sunday and because you know it's into you calendar yes as an anointment as an appointment with yourself ok because if you

don't do that that's a lot of pressure and performance appointments in your calendar and then sunday evening oh my god that was the full of pressure full of performance and so on and no time for 4 no no no time for like sation and if you're banned that week then put appointments with yourself with your family with your friends for stress release sport and and whatever in a creditor and you increase the moment of critic station in your week but what is your boss puts all the appointments into your calendar and how do you cope with a boss who's always trying to put things in you when it's really stressed out. talk as a boss and let's give your next year a list of priorities and that the that number one that your boss tells you are ok that's number one that's number 2 the sum of 3 very often as your boss wants your breast your best performance and your best pal and you're running in the same

direction and that's a good feeling for being environment do you know what i do going to go out for a run yes i really. running what you think about sports and exercise yeah it's perfect because a lot of people. don't know the difference between stress release like running water. body releases threat and station and what about other things like. yoga what about yoga. if you're a picnic or solution to relax. it's very individual for some people is your goal for some people that's running on they or. taking time with your papa whatever. the results have to be relaxation free mind thank you so much for taking the time today and we recently did a show about yoga and we're giving away 4 yoga sets thousands of us wanted to

have them and those lucky 4. people wrote in from all over the world to win our yoga set and we've drawn 4 lucky winners in a suit from russia terry huggins in new zealand and of del rodriguez from guatemala had turi from algeria congratulations all 4 of you. if you are stressed you can feel it in your gut because stress could harm your. area which is called the microbiome and you can protect those bacteria when heating your heart but is this really true. bar a tree grown strains of locked up a celesta and bacteria in recent years they've been getting a lot of air time they're marketed under the general term probiotics it's claimed they help against areas of old bowel syndrome and gas to enter righteous' or they

can even restore the gut flora after a course of antibiotics. they're added to some yogurt with the aim of a. improving consumer's health. but some studies claim that probiotics can have adverse effects on the body that they can cause flatulence stomachache can't even impair concentration that's not all. of the been there i'm sure there's also this one studies show that people had increased psychological complaints after taking probiotics that's an important sign that we should handle these things really carefully. supplements are claimed to act in the intestine minds. of bacteria are involved in digestion their probiotics are said to assist them however one of the studies showed that they often don't settle in there in some of the test persons none could be detected in their foul so want to these results mean for probiotics use it means that regular check ups previously seen as

a precautionary measure are now an essential requirement 5 kong also has been taking probiotics to treat his irritable bowel syndrome. so tell me how are you feeling how are the symptoms. i have recovered. probiotics form only part of his treatment plan a change of diets is equally important and dr dorothy also adopt the medication according to the patient's symptoms. the approach i take depends on the patient. sometimes i'll offer them a probiotic and sometimes not. if we do try out a probiotic and it proved beneficial that it makes sense to continue it for a certain period of time and of course the patient is monitored and if there's no benefit or the symptoms get even worse then i would recommend that they stop taking

it. one of gandolfo is happy the treatment has worked for him he's a policeman in a protection unit for politicians and celebrities he sometimes has to wait for hours at a time at different venues in berlin for an event or meeting to and irritable bowel syndrome was a real burden for him. he's convinced that probiotics were an important part of his recovery although he did make some quite dramatic changes to his diet he used to eat carelessly now he includes lots of fruits and vegetables things like when chicory he sticks to fruit with low sugar content like grass sprays blueberries and the more exotic goji berries which. changing my diet a few years ago. nearly as successful as this time around. it's the interaction between probiotics and health. in the. next week he'll start

gradually reducing his probiotic intake according to a treatment plan with supporters from his doctor. sorry i don't have any time by. let's take the time next week let's all try to stay. the book. the book.
