Fascinating and entertaining. As if we could like Charlie Puth more.

We talk about making sure that when you are exercising, your heart rate doesn’t go up more than 220 -(your age) so you can stay in a safe range for your exercise, and this is some musical reasoning behind why you need to create a good upbeat tempo for your workout playlist. 😉🙏🏽🤓

Blood pressure targets and goals are much lower than they were when I first started practicing. We know that lower is better and decreases future cardiovascular risk.

Your goal should be to have your blood pressure under 120 on the top and under 80 on the bottom number.

Nearly half of American adults have high blood pressure, putting them at higher risk for stroke and heart disease. The only way to know if your BP is in a normal range is to measure it.

What you *don’t* do matters for your thinker too.

Gene therapy to help with inherited diseases is kind of amazing. Science and medicine and miracles happen when we do research. Call your senators and let them know that cutting off all this research funding is unacceptable, depriving Americans of affordable healthcare is unacceptable, that it’s important to have a local hospital that can care for you when you need it most, and that we want change now. ♥️🙏🏽♥️

Opal Sandy underwent a gene therapy injection to her right ear in 2023.

I think we could all do with the little less worried. So many negative effects on our health. And none positive.

So the only time I think it’s OK to worry is if it’s productive worry. If it helps you get something done that needs to get done that could make a difference. Like if you’re worried about your child getting lost at the fair so you’re right your phone number on their arm. That was productive as it can help in the long run and it’s quick and potentially useful.  And then it’s done. You have done what you could do.

But anything else, it’s just not worth it. The increased cortisol, increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, increased distress, has negative effects on our health in the short term and the long run.

So try “ instead of worry, trust.”
Don’t allow yourself to suffer twice.
♥️🙏🏽♥️

Vaccines work. FYI

The COVID-19 vaccine had an effectiveness of 29.3% against related ED visits, 39.2% against hospitalization, and 64.0% against COVID-19-associated death, according to a comparison of U.S. veterans who got both COVID-19 and flu vaccines and those who got only flu shots.
