Introducing NBC Learn

The NBC News Archives on Demand Health and Wellness video collection provides 3-5 minute video clips that focus on positive lifestyle choices and the latest research in health science. Explore body systems, health and hygiene, exercise and fitness, food and nutrition, and advances in medicine, along with mental heath resources addressing self-image, relationships, stress management, conflict resolution, and mental health disorders.

Teachers can incorporate videos into whole-class lessons with the use of a projector, using clips to introduce topics, stimulate critical thinking and debate, and enrich and enliven course material. Or, students can access the materials on their own to use for research and reference, or to incorporate into class projects.

From NBC News Producers...

View the power of connecting current events to health issues such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a debilitating autoimmune disease that afflicts almost half a million Americans, most of them women. This gender difference is one of the biggest mysteries about the disease, and perhaps the key to finding a cure. In this video, we learn about the symptoms of MS and hear the leading hypothesis for why women are two to three times more likely to be diagnosed with it. We also meet Catherine Dennes Akay, diagnosed at age 23, who speaks candidly about the effect the disease is having on her life and family. Try a 30 day free trial.
