SIX Books that I 'read', while Running/at the Gym in October - November 2025:

📸 Andover Half Marathon - 26th of October 2025

*** would recommend it
** worth reading
*you can skip it

*** 'The little black book of Entreprenuership' - very real book with practical steps.

*** 'The 10x Mentor' - great motivation, easy to listen.

** '7 habits of super attractor' some well
known ideas, but still worth listening to.

** 'Economics in one lesson' - well written, basics of economy.

** 'Random reminiscences of men and events' - timeless reminder of the struggles that every generation goes through.

* 'Read your mind' - sadly more of an autobiography rather than a practical guide.

Looking for good RECOMMENDATIONs for December and January- Non Fiction please.

❤️ Gdy serce daje sygnały – reaguj.

Ból w klatce piersiowej, duszność, kołatanie serca, zawroty głowy czy omdlenia mogą wskazywać na problemy kardiologiczne.

Właściwa diagnostyka pomaga ustalić ich przyczynę i zaplanować dalsze postępowanie.

👨‍⚕️ Dr Bartosz Olechowski – kardiolog

Podczas konsultacji zajmuje się diagnostyką i leczeniem m.in.:
• zaburzeń rytmu serca
• nadciśnienia tętniczego
• choroby wieńcowej
• niewydolności serca
• bólu w klatce piersiowej i duszności o niejasnej przyczynie

Każda wizyta opiera się na szczegółowym wywiadzie, analizie objawów oraz ocenie czynników ryzyka, co pozwala dobrać indywidualny plan diagnostyki i leczenia.

🔍 Możliwość wykonania badań podczas wizyty:
• EKG
• echokardiogram serca (echo)
• Holter EKG
• całodobowe monitorowanie ciśnienia tętniczego (ABPM)

Zakres wykonywanych badań dobierany jest indywidualnie – w zależności od objawów, wywiadu oraz wskazań medycznych.

📅 Terminy przyjęć:
• 6 grudnia
• 3, 10, 17 i 31 stycznia

Green Spaces And Lower Heart Risk: Does Nature Heal?

The simple answer is `Yes` — the currently available evidence shows that greater exposure to green space (parks, street trees, gardens and other vegetation) is associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular mortality. The effect sizes are modest but consistent and plausible biological and social mechanisms also exist. For instance increased physical activity, stress reduction, lower air pollution and heat exposure, improved sleep and social cohesion. Large cohort studies and systematic reviews (including meta-analyses) support the association, and public-health agencies (including the WHO) recommend urban green infrastructure as part of strategies to improve population health.

Are desk jobs dangerous for your Heart? Sedentary work and risk.

New blog post on www.DrBart.co.uk.

https://drbart.co.uk/are-desk-jobs-dangerous-for-your-heart-sedentary-work-risk/

Why this matters: the modern desk and the modern heart

Over the last 50 years, many economies moved from physically active jobs (manufacturing, agriculture) to more sedentary ones (office work, driving, computer-based work). The result: a growing portion of adults now spend much of their waking day sitting — commuting, working at desks, and relaxing in front of screens. Public-health authorities now treat prolonged sitting and low overall activity as measurable risk factors heart disease.

Sedentary lifestyle heart disease — this phrase captures the broad observational link between time spent sitting and higher incidence of coronary heart disease, stroke, heart failure, and cardiovascular death. Most prospective studies on screen time and sitting time have found that higher levels of sedentary behaviour are linked to an increased risk of both fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular disease.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4582407/

Desk job cardiovascular risk — Engaging in high levels of moderate-intensity physical activity (around 60–75 minutes per day) appears to offset the increased risk of mortality linked to prolonged sitting. However, while this level of activity reduces the risks associated with extended TV viewing, it does not completely eliminate them. These findings reinforce the substantial health benefits of regular physical activity, especially in modern societies where many people spend long hours seated for work, and they may help guide future public health recommendations.
