Its a very important topic will there be new pathogens what will we eat in the future and what about the rising temperature of the how our bodies in the year 2018 enjoyment no more than 1000. 00 people were killed its. Extremely hot days and lingering he took night for days in a row thats becoming more common in many parts as Climate Change advances. Its not good for our health in fact heat can kill its a country and her cheek can become a Health Risk Factor especially if it goes on for a long time but even dr good feet subject the body to enormous stress at some point the body gets exhausted after here. During lengthy heatwaves hospital Emergency Rooms are overrun. Its good for me to view there are more viruses and bacteria and we have to take that into account we also see cases of flu and i dont usual times of the year so significant changes are indeed underway. Extended periods of great heat can trigger cardiac arrhythmia that has to do with sweating a mechanism whereby the body tries to cool itself sweater that operates it draws heat out of the body the body cools. But sweat depletes the party of water amino acids urea and salts otherwise known as electrolytes. Is electrolytic all we need electrolytes so that we dont get cardiac arrhythmia or feel extremely weak patients notice when say their potassium level is low because they have occasional extra heartbeats well their heart misses a beat have all said that when it gets very hot our Blood Pressure comply mut that too is a result of the body working to cool itself down. If our body temperature rises above 37. 00 degrees celsius our blood vessels become dilated which expands their surface area. With veins stand out helping to cool the blood but dilation means the pressure in the vessels declines that can be risky for patients who already take drugs to lower their Blood Pressure it can drop so low they faint. Thats what happened to erica on an exceptionally hot day after i felt strange all of a sudden i felt really awful so i went inside and at that moment everything went black in front of my eyes and fear. For her doctor the case was clear. Often medication needs to be adjusted to cope with long hot spells. On can reduce the dosage or stop taking a certain drugs varies and depends on the underlying disease some patients dont just have high Blood Pressure but also have Heart Disease or kidney disease. At Charity University hospital in berlin Climate Change has become a topic of research one hypothesis is that a warming environment jeopardizes the healing of wounds for example after an operation theres. Lots of bacteria on our skin and in our gut were seeing more and more ones that get infected one possible explanation for that is as these bacteria change during the hot spells. Pathogens lurking in hospitals also burgeoning when its warm. Enough i wish for the inside of the follow up studies confirm that there is a link between warmer weather especially for lengthy periods and the incidence of infected wounds that could constitute a risk to patients i thought it conditioning could help according to dr hans. He studies Public Health and the environment and says Health Care Facilities across germany need to adapt to rising temperatures and lengthy heat waves. To some hospitals in france for example have one air conditioned room for patients on every floor says thats certainly something worth considering. Climate change is set to become a major challenge for all of us and for our health care providers. 2 hours of c yes when its hot outside bringing southern lifestyle to the north this could be one way in dealing with to. Im a change but honestly this is not the solution what the solution could be this is what im going to talk about the Sylvia Hartman today shes from look this is the German Alliance for Climate Change and to help. The Climate Crisis as a whole so the Health Crisis but with a Healthy Lifestyle we can protect our wellbeing and at the same time. We here at the labyrinth to the museum in berlin currently an exhibition about Climate Change and this is our topic we will talk about because youre a cofounder of an alliance called luke which means smart so whats the alliance about so we determine Climate Change and health and we found it. Years ago and were in interdisciplinary. Health professionals doctors nurses and so our main goal is to put health into the center of Climate Change discussions so weiss is so important because everybodys talking about the health of our planet why do we have to focus on health 2 because as humans we are connected parts to our direct environment people can only exist on a healthy plan old and Climate Change will influence of course the nature around us but also human health and whatever you facts of Climate Change has an abaya direct effect are fixed imo if you have heat waves or extreme weather when thawed a direct effect of these on our human health and indirect effect after example if we have. Warmer temperatures and higher concentrations of c o 2 trees producing more paul for example so people who have a lot use will suffer more from these conditions and. Some different diseases coming out of this Climate Change so theyre not new diseases coming up but diseases we normally know for a to cell phone reaches of our world will come to us as well so for example talking about. Insects who transmitted diseases day will come to our regions as well what about different parts of the world where its already hot and warm if you have a look at the areas around equator in 2050 there will be areas where humans wont be able to live anymore and just because the heat is so extreme that we cant add up to it physically these People Living around these areas they will have to look for new areas to live so people will migrate and they will also come to your obviously so you are fighting against Climate Change in your lines what did you achieve so far. For example this year the german doctor said we will talk about Climate Change and health as a main topic so its a really big achievement because the years before did never really talked about it and also our Health Minister he just claimed saving to climate means saving our health so hes starting to talk about it morris world and we also have local groups who act on a local level theyre talking with directors from cornice but also from universities to bring up this topic more and more so theres some political pressure building up actually but what can i do what can we all do so of course we can change our way of living and its definitely one thing we need to do but there are 2 other things i think that are even more important the 1st thing is that we have to talk with our friends and family about a topic because only by talking about it we will find solutions that have a broad acceptance and i was society and as well we have to be get politically engaged so that we can demand for the politicians for the change really to reduce emissions so that for example cities built cycling pathways that the cost we have to pay for products really represents a cost that is put onto nature also and of course theres some of that contains for more the cherry and meals and then of course we have to change our way of living also eating less meat taking the bike more often so our lives will change actually and everybodys just talking about traffic about electric cars about taking the bikes but you said the vegetarian diet might be important as well because we have to talk about livestock and the industrialised meat production we think that more than 50 percent of all the pollution gases are coming from life stock so maybe its time to turn to vegetarian diets. Huge teagan cattle farms and industrial scale meat production consume a lot. Of energy and have a major impact on our environment and climate so what effect does it have on our planet and health. These questions were the focus of a recent study by climate scientists. And an International Team of research is. The 1st time ever we do a scientific assessment linking sustainability of food. Which is. Healthy diet. We would actually cut down by half the. Impact on Climate Change for example a very significant contribution to the study shows very clearly the repercussions of diet the production of food takes up 40 percent of the earths land surface and 70 percent of the worlds fresh water and its responsible for 30 percent of Greenhouse Gases soil depleted of nutrients requires more fertilizer and the global appetite for meat means that more and more rain forest is being cleared to make way for cattle grazing land and. Dietary recommendations. 40 grams of meat per day around 500 grams of fruits and vegetables. 250 grams of dairy products. Much of the world this would entail a substantial change in how we eat. This diet would be a major benefit to our health. And the health of the planet. Here is to get the food into the climate negotiations and right into the Climate Action to understand theres not enough to just decarbonize the Worlds Energy system we need to decarbonize and get Sustainable Food systems as well. As a change of mindset is whats needed after all its. Suma habits that shape demand. Each one of us has to decide what we do for our health and the future of our planet. So how much meat do you eat i actually have been eating meat for 9 years already so you return here. So is the vegetarian diet a diode you would recommend for everybody yeah definitely id least i would recommend to reduce the consumption of meat because its way healthier as well for of course for our planet and as well for human health but its very rigid fickle to change habits especially the eating habits so youve got any tips how to change it its not about everything or nothing i think reducing the Meat Consumption step by step with the key to how to deal with this problem so of course their meat imitation product and you can use them and also theres a prodigy hellfire to it is the recommended by the lancet descent of a journal weve been talking about over and theyre. Recommending it died which includes meat and fish but only in are reduced amount so if somebody wants to go plan based on his or her diet would you recommend using those turn it is like meat in the beginning i think it can make things easier but still often very processed and contain a lot of salt so in the end you should aim for eating more lentils beings for example so products like tofu or tempe and also nuts and seeds or if you want to top off your protein levels you can even eat some insects i mean many people around the world are eating insects on a regular basis they are very nutritious theyre tasty theyre high in protein and they harm our environment much less than for instance carls. Is this the food of the. Future it could be since 2018 the European Union allows insects to be processed into food and supermarket chains are already offering products made of insect flour or even entire larvae like buffalo and meal worms in many parts of the world insects have been consumed for millennia and insects are even considered delicacies. But in europe theyre a relatively new colony concept the e. U. Has strict hygiene regulations for insect farming species raised for food include grasshoppers and crickets. And buffalo while. The worms are fed a special powder after just 2 weeks these lovey are ready to be harvested then put on a diet to empty their bowels thats where most bacteria would be found. Then theyre washed and frozen. As a final hygienic measure before theyre marketed the worms are heated to at least 85 degrees celsius. In view of the rapidly rising World Population the United Nations and many experts have long viewed insects as an important food for the future it could be the only feasible way of meeting our protein needs. Another advantage of insect farming is sustainability insects grow quickly and dont need much feed and raising them doesnt require much energy or other resources. Producing one kilogram of beef takes around 15000 liters of water a kilo of insect meat requires just 4000 liters cattle consumer around 8 kilograms of feet per kilo of meat insects just 2 kilos. Edible insect products include different kinds of pastor. Energy bars and insect snacks like chips theres a huge variety with a large range of tastes but for those of us who arent used to eating insects what are they like. What good its ok. Like whole grain. This burger chain in germany has insect patties on the menu some of the guests are intrigued and willing to give it a try. Something different people eat this in lots of countries its just a matter of attitude. So why not be daring and give insects a try you never know they might taste better than you think. So what about you have you ever eaten some insects to try to modify korea. And out of the tasty i dont have to try to and try to. Think. They were maybe its a cultural thing so im very interested in you did you ever eat insects and how did they taste to you why dont you just write me an email with your experiences and if youre already at your computer screen write me email with your questions too. On an upcoming show well be talking about cannabis for many its not just a recreational drug but a healing one how does marijuana affect the risks sending your questions about that in good shape at d w dot com just right cannabis in the subject line we look forward to hearing from the. So if we all would start eating insects now with the stop Climate Change unfortunately its not only about our nutrition about how we generate power for example but it will definitely oh it could help a little bit and in fact i really efficient and convert. In fruit into mass you could say well producing one kilogram of insects you only need to give a gram so if feet and for example whereas for producing one kilogram of. Beef you need 8 kilograms of each what else must have to slow down Climate Change a lot because we are far away from reaching the climate goals from the parachute regiment and also clements that scientists that Tipping Points from when were talking about Climate Change are also talking about tipping balance were going to reach them earlier than expected for example one Tipping Point just one dependent for us discovery to molt rethink about parading and we think is that climate gas as well or Greenhouse Gas and so this will be accelerated and this is not reversible its not reversible and it will make other Tipping Points for some melting off the glaciers and ice caps to be to accelerate as well so what are you doing personally so im a vegetarian grower talked about that im also trying to buy more secondhand clothes also to buy 2nd hand gadgets making the bicycle more often and physically engaged as in climate activists and you could see that right here but i think there are some opportunities involved as well to stop Climate Change in mitigation measures yes and its really important to talk about that as well because Climate Change like to stop Climate Change will benefit our health will swell for example if we take the bicycle more often were physical effort to it and then a lot of other diseases we call the noncommunicable diseases there are caused by our lifestyle so eating too much sugar too fatty and then moving enough and by living a more active lifestyle for example and reducing the consumption of meat real good healthy as well so we can save yourself and by the way were so good time to. Theres one more thing which we havent discussed this is the worlds population experts believe that in the year 2050 there will be 10000000000 People Living on the planet which is 2000000000 more than today but how many people can we feed. By the year 2050 will we be able to feed the global population with organic farming or is that just a pipe dream. Scientists in Christian Charter have published an initial study commissioned by the un food and agriculture organization. The results dont make for good reading. And so shown that we would need a lot more land and that would mean tremendous changes if we were to produce like we do today its basically impossible and. The Study Concludes that if we continue as we have so far we will not be able to reliably feed humanity either with organic or with conventional farming the researches took a number of factors into account for instance eating habits which around the globe have come to resemble the prevailing western lifestyle. More and more people want to eat meat and dairy products. That means a drastic rise in the need for animal feed to produce all that along with the environmental damage that would result for us to. At present global Meat Consumption is 320000000. 00 tonnes a year its predicted to rise by half as much again by 2050 demand for eggs and milk will also go up dramatically. Raises the question of where theyll come from so we dont have any extra land that we could use without losing a huge amount of forest or grasslands would be. Awful impact on biodiversity and so on. So how to secure the global food supply in the long term charter says not simply by producing more land for travelers reporter saw Agricultural Production has already been highly optimized in most western countries and many other countries that means the natural potential for producing food on a given amount of farmland has already been reduced. And we have to think about changing things and the entire nutritional system to address this problem more effectively he runs. The scientists have taken a closer look at global Food Consumption and come up with 2 strategies this is absolute its absurd to expect increased yield on long to solve the problem of world Food Security 3rd to one half of all food is being thrown away. So the 1st strategy calls for less food waste the 2nd is about raising animals for meat. 2 the scientists call this strategy feed no food the idea here is that animals should not be fed anything that people could eat when we feed plants to animals and then eat their meat many valuable calories are lost if we ate the saw corn and wheat thats currently used as fodder wed get around 20 percent more calories. And for that reason animals should be fed exclusively on grass and waste products in keeping with traditional farming methods. Doing without meat all together is not the solution say the studies all fits 2 thirds of the worlds Agricultural Land is pasture land its too barren or uneven for cultivation its best suited to growing grass and not much more. Grassland for Human Nutrition going to be such as cows sheep and goats are an important element in turning grouse into food for humans. Meant to produce their own also rich protein. The study finds that its resource needs to be used to secure a food for the world but it does recommend lowering Meat Consumption considerably. Your business can flourish we dont have to stop eating meat if we reduce our Meat Consumption by half thats already drastic but doable id say its not about implementing extremes its about moving in the right direction to go through. All the calculations point to a drastic cut Meat Consumption its not really necessary. We dont really have a choice and we have to achieve this somehow if we want to feed the world in a way that makes sense on this planet and if we dont do that then well have no chance anyway. The recommendations put forward by the 2 scientists are clear. The difficult part will be implementing and. Thats it for today and today i wont commute by car i will run.
