What if improving your health only took a few minutes at a time? ⏱️💪
“Exercise snacks,” short bursts of movement, five minutes or less, can give your heart and lungs a real boost. Our own Dr. Aubrey Grant, sports cardiologist, reminds us that simple habits like doing squats, taking the stairs, or going on brisk walks can improve your physical fitness and support longevity.
Read more in Prevention Magazine and learn how to add exercise snacks to your daily routine.

Need care that’s convenient and reliable? Our associates do too. That’s why Annamarie uses MedStar eVisit–Telehealth as her go-to for high-quality care anytime, day or night.
"One morning, around 4 a.m., I woke up feeling awful with a fever, a sore throat, and that sinking worry that it might be COVID. When my home test came back positive, I didn’t panic. I opened the MedStar e-Visit app on my phone, connected with a provider, and showed her the test. Within minutes, she sent a prescription for Paxlovid to a 24-hour local pharmacy. I had the medication in my hands just two hours after finding out I had COVID!
"MedStar e-Visit remains my go-to whenever I need quick, reliable care—even once for an allergic reaction to a bug bite. My husband even uses it when he cannot see his provider. Every time, we have felt cared for, supported, and grateful to have MedStar’s virtual care team just a few taps away."
- Annamarie DeCarlo, chief communications officer and assistant vice president, at MedStar Washington Hospital Center.
