What is the secret to living a long and healthy life? How can science, technology, and personal choices help shape a future where everyone can stay healthier for longer? These questions are explored in the new podcast series “(De)F√ormule,” a collaboration between Universiteit van Nederland and the Institute 4 Preventive Health. The series takes a fresh, interdisciplinary approach to health, featuring four EWUU researchers sharing their insights on how we can optimise our lives for longevity and well-being.
(De)F√ormule: Exploring Health Through Multiple Disciplines
The series delves into various aspects of preventive health. Each episode focuses on a different theme, ranging from the role of technology and data in making healthy choices to the impact of diet and living environments on our well-being. Four researchers, connected to the Institute 4 Preventive Health via the EWUU alliance, share their expertise.
Episodes
In the first episode, Roel Vermeulen (UU/UMCU) explains how technology and data can guide us in making healthier decisions. By designing digital cities, he explores which environments promote better health.
The second episode centres on nutrition. Ellen Kampman (WUR) discusses how our diet not only helps prevent diseases like cancer but also supports recovery. She highlights the crucial role of healthy eating at every stage of life.
Episode three shifts the focus to young people. Kirsten Verkooijen (WUR) demonstrates how technology can empower them to make healthier choices, creating lasting benefits for their vitality later in life.
In the fourth episode, Masi Mohammadi (TU/e) examines how our living environments influence our health. Smart housing designs, she argues, can help people stay healthier and more independent for longer.
Bridging Science and Practice
We are very excited for this podcast series! The “(De)F√ormule” podcast aligns with our mission: to create a society where preventive healthcare takes centre stage. By connecting science with real-world practice, we develop innovative solutions that promote health and tackle societal challenges. Through this series, the institute brings its mission to life in an engaging and accessible way. Be inspired by the stories of these researchers and discover how you can shape your own formula for a healthier life.
