「食の力」/The Power of Food | Makiko Osada | TEDxAkitaIntlU
This talk explores the “power of food” and how our daily choices around meals shape both physical and mental well-being. Drawing on her experience as a registered dietitian, the speaker shares memorable stories from working in elder care, supporting patients with eating disorders, and learning from her own grandparents’ longevity and lifestyle. She highlights how food is not only about nutrition, but also about memory, connection, and happiness. Through examples from Japanese food culture and school lunches, she demonstrates how small, mindful investments in food—just a few extra minutes a day—can enrich health, strengthen communities, and lead to a more fulfilling life. 本トークでは「食の持つ力」について、日々の食事の選択が心身の健康にどのように影響するかを考えます。管理栄養士として高齢者施設での経験、摂食障害を抱える方の食生活改善、そして103歳と94歳の祖父母から学んだ食と長寿の秘訣などを交え、食がもつ栄養だけでなく「記憶」「つながり」「幸せ」を生む力を紹介します。さらに、日本の食文化や学校給食を例に、日常の中で食を大切にする小さな習慣が、未来の健康と豊かな人生につながることを伝えます。 【出身・Hometown】神奈川県/Kanagawa Prefecture大手グループの食品会社で、商品の旨味、塩味、甘味などの味覚のバランスを加味した美味しさの研究を行い、メニュー提案、商品企画を行う。

- 13:42La chispa adecuada | Carlos Ocampo | TEDxZacatecas¿Qué sucede cuando una chispa de propósito se enciende en la infancia y se convierte en un fuego que transforma sistemas? De emprendedor serial a consultor de gobiernos y Fortune 500, Carlos Ocampo ha impulsado transformaciones nacionales clave. Hoy conjuga sus facetas de coach, speaker e inversionista entrenando emprendedores en tiempo real vía streaming.Su charla conecta a Gandhi, Steve Jobs y unos tenis que tardó 31 años en comprar, para revelar la pregunta liberadora: ¿En quién debes convertirte para vivir con propósito? Un mensaje crucial para los 400,000 graduados zacatecanos y cualquier persona en el mundo que haya sentido el vacío de no vivir la vida que desea.¿Estás listo para encender tu chispa? ¿Qué sucede cuando una chispa de propósito se enciende en la infancia y, en lugar de apagarse, se convierte en un fuego que transforma sistemas completos? Esta es la historia de Carlos Ocampo. Arquitecto del cambio con más de 20 años de experiencia, su viaje comenzó a los 13 años, con un sueño aparentemente simple: unos tenis de basquetbol. Ese deseo infantil lo llevó a descubrir que el verdadero valor no está en el objeto, sino en la determinación de perseguirlo. Hoy, Carlos es un emprendedor y consultor que ha asesorado a más de 100 empresas, desde Fortune 500 hasta startups. Ha liderado transformaciones nacionales como la factura electrónica del SAT y la reestructura de Pemex. Pero su propósito va más allá de transformar empresas: busca rediseñar el sistema para unir impacto económico y social. En “La chispa adecuada”, nos invita a encender nuestra propia llama: a dejar de buscar respuestas y comenzar a vivir con propósito.
