From Tradition to Transformation: Nutrition and Age | Roshni Sanghvi | TEDxNITKSurathkalSalon
In this insightful TEDx talk at NITK Surathkal, nutritionist Roshni Sanghavi invites the audience to look at health and wellness through the lens of age and nutrition. Using the fascinating example of bees, she explains how two genetically identical bees - a queen and a worker - live drastically different lifespans purely because of the nutrition they receive. Through anecdotes and cultural reflections, she shows how traditional wisdom - like eating with your hands or drinking ginger tea for a sore throat - was rooted in nutritional science long before apps and health trackers became popular. Drawing from personal stories, including lessons from her own grandmother’s lifestyle and health struggles, Roshni highlights how technology and early diagnosis can extend life and reduce dependency on medication. Yet, she also issues a strong warning about the modern epidemic of overconsumption and food adulteration. From hormone-laden dairy products to the rising need for supplements like Vitamin B12, she explains how the disconnect from nature and soil-based nutrition is affecting both physical and mental health. With a blend of science, tradition, and urgent public health concerns, this talk is a call to re-evaluate what we eat and how we nourish ourselves in today’s fast-changing world. Roshni Sanghavi is a plant-based nutritionist known for making complex nutritional concepts easy to understand and apply. Her work focuses on blending traditional eating habits with modern nutritional science to help individuals make informed food choices. Through years of consulting with clients dealing with lifestyle disorders like diabetes, hypertension, and cholesterol issues, she has seen firsthand the power of nutrition in disease reversal and prevention.

- 16:46Minden fontosabb annál, ami mindennél fontosabb | Balázs Stumpf-Biró | TEDxGyőrHUN: Nem az a kérdés, hogy lesz-e összeomlás. Hanem az, hogy te készen állsz-e rá? A világ, ahogy ismered, véget érhet – és sokkal hamarabb, mint gondolnád.Stumpf-Biró Balázs. Az összeomlás-kutató szerint a jelenlegi életformánk fenntarthatatlan, és az éghajlati katasztrófa nem egy távoli rémálom – már benne élünk. A globális polikrízis jelei egyértelműek, de a legfontosabb kérdés: mit tehetünk most?A TEDxGyőr színpadán Stumpf-Biró Balázs nemcsak a krízisek valódi természetéről beszél, hanem arról is, hogyan készülhetünk fel mentálisan és fizikailag a változásokra. Vajon túl lehet élni az elkerülhetetlent?ENG: The question isn’t whether collapse will happen. It’s whether you are ready for it. The world as you know it could end—and much sooner than you might think.Balázs Stumpf-Biró. According to this collapse researcher, our current way of life is unsustainable, and climate catastrophe isn’t a distant nightmare—we’re already living in it. The signs of a global polycrisis are clear, but the most important question is: what can we do now?On the TEDxGyőr stage, Balázs Stumpf-Biró will talk not only about the true nature of these crises but also about how we can prepare—mentally and physically—for the changes to come. Is it possible to survive the inevitable? Balázs Stumpf-Biró is the co-founder of the Cassandra Program, which identifies the impacts of climate change and supports the process of adaptation. He is the Hungarian representative of the Deep Adaptation movement, which emphasizes the importance of mental preparedness, and the creator of the Betyáros Világ podcast, which aims to raise awareness and shape perspectives.
