On Tuesday, July 22, members of the Duke University men’s basketball and football teams participated in American Heart Association Hands-Only CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) trainings to learn the correct rate and depth of CPR compressions to be confident and capable when faced with a cardiac emergency. According to American Heart Association data, nearly 9 out of every 10 of people who experience cardiac arrest outside of a hospital die, in part because they do not receive immediate CPR more than half of the time. CPR, especially if performed immediately, can double or triple a person’s chance of survival.

“Every year, hundreds of thousands of cardiac arrests happen outside of hospitals — often with no warning and no time to spare. In those critical moments, knowing how to perform CPR and use an AED can mean the difference between life and death,” said Nancy Brown, CEO of the American Heart Association. “That’s why we’re working tirelessly with organizations like Duke University and their men's basketball and football teams to empower more people with the skills, confidence, and courage to step in and save a life using CPR.”

The Duke student-athletes are the newest members of the American Heart Association’s Nation of LifesaversTM. The Association, a global force changing the future of health for all, began the initiative in 2023 to make CPR and AED (automated external defibrillator) awareness and education a permanent fixture in all communities across the country. The initiative will ensure teens and adults can learn about CPR and AED use, share that knowledge with friends and family and engage employers, policymakers, philanthropists and others to create support for a nation of lifesavers.

Walking is one of the most versatile forms of exercise because you can do it just about anytime, anywhere. These tips will help you get your walk on at the right time for you.

Like to move as soon as your feet hit the floor?
Before you go to bed, get your walking clothes and shoes ready so it’s easy to put them on quickly and head out the door.
Eat a piece of fruit or a few spoonfuls of yogurt for a quick fuel-up.
Walk to your favorite jams to help get you moving. Just make sure you can still hear traffic.
If it’s still dark, wear reflective clothing or carry a light.
Be sure to stretch a bit at the end of your walk. Watch a morning news show or check your email while stretching.

Walking is one of the most versatile forms of exercise because you can do it just about anytime.

Spending time with your pet can be relaxing, encouraging the release of endorphins, which are brain chemicals that help us de-stress and feel good. And petting a beloved animal can even help lower your blood pressure.

If you don’t have a pet in your life, consider adopting or fostering one. According to the Human Animal Bond Research Institute and Mars Petcare, market research reinforces the social bond between humans and pets. In fact, 80% of pet owners say their pet makes them feel less lonely. Eighty-five percent of pet owners and non-pet owners believe interacting with a companion animal can help reduce loneliness, while 76% agree human-animal interactions can help address social isolation.

So, what are you waiting for?

Learn more about heart health, and learn more about shelters near you where you can adopt a pet or ask about fostering. You might form a healthy bond for life.

Years of effort by the American Heart Association and community partners across the country are paying off in the work to reduce sugary drink consumption, a major contributor to heart disease and diabetes.

Since Berkeley, California, enacted a tax on sugary beverages in 2015, research shows that such taxes make communities healthier and help fund vital well-being programs such as access to healthy food and early childhood education.

In a recent policy brief, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania said their analysis of 33 studies of tax policies around the world found that sweetened beverage taxes reduce consumption of the drinks and overall sugar intake. They also found improvements in obesity and body mass index as well as better oral health and improved pregnancy and birth outcomes.

Great news! New research shows taxing sugary drinks reduces consumption, which leads to healthier communities.

Sharing the human spirit through friendship
Our world faces many challenges, crises and forces of division — such as poverty, violence, and human rights abuses — among many others — that undermine peace, security, development and social harmony among the world's peoples.

To confront those crises and challenges, their root causes must be addressed by promoting and defending a shared spirit of human solidarity that takes many forms — the simplest of which is friendship.

Through friendship — by accumulating bonds of camaraderie and developing strong ties of trust — we can contribute to the fundamental shifts that are urgently needed to achieve lasting stability, weave a safety net that will protect us all, and generate passion for a better world where all are united for the greater good.

Background
The International Day of Friendship was proclaimed in 2011 by the UN General Assembly with the idea that friendship between peoples, countries, cultures and individuals can inspire peace efforts and build bridges between communities.

The resolution places emphasis on involving young people, as future leaders, in community activities that include different cultures and promote international understanding and respect for diversity.

To mark the International Day of Friendship the UN encourages governments, international organizations and civil society groups to hold events, activities and initiatives that contribute to the efforts of the international community towards promoting a dialogue among civilizations, solidarity, mutual understanding and reconciliation.

The International Day of Friendship is an initiative that follows on the proposal made by UNESCO defining the Culture of Peace as a set of values, attitudes and behaviours that reject violence and endeavour to prevent conflicts by addressing their root causes with a view to solving problems. It was then adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1997.
