By listening to these educational programs, you can learn more about medicine and how to keep your health in check.
Podcasts, which may be accessed online or through mobile apps, are, for many people, the soundtrack of contemporary life. You can listen to them while getting ready in the morning, working out, cooking, traveling, or just relaxing. Podcasts start and stop when you want them to, just like streaming movies. Listening to podcasts that are specifically focused on health can help you learn more about the most recent medical advancements, lifestyle trends, and ways to maintain a healthy lifestyle or manage chronic conditions. Ensure that the podcasts are only from reputable sources.
Since anyone can host a podcast, you should exercise caution. Look for reputable hosts, such as qualified medical professionals or health journalists, who provide scientific material in an impartial manner as opposed to one that is biased. Avoid programs that advocate poorly investigated or medically unsupported diets or therapies, advises Dr. Edward Phillips, director of the Institute of Lifestyle Medicine at the Harvard-affiliated Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital and associate professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School.
Basics of podcasts
Initially emerging in the early 2000s, podcasts have progressively established themselves as a prominent medium. What, then, are they? Podcasts are previously aired audio shows with numerous episodes that may be accessed on demand online or through podcast apps like Spotify (www.spotify.com) or Stitcher (www.stitcher.com). The broadcasts could be newscasts, interview shows, or just shows with a few people chit-chatting about a specific topic. Typically, an episode lasts 15 to 60 minutes.
