If makes us feel bad, why is it so hard to stop?

“Our brains are really peculiar in that we actually seek out negative information rather than positive,” said Gregory Berlin, PhD, clinical psychologist at Greenwich Hospital. “Part of this comes from our evolutionary brain. If we feel there is a threat, the surest way to stay safe is to identify and locate that. Doomscrolling, in particular, preys on this evolutionary mindset, because we are hoping that somewhere we are going to find the glimmer that maybe things aren’t so bad.”

No one is immune from this behavior. If you have a phone, you may find yourself doomscrolling. Those who are prone to rumination, obsessive thinking and worry are especially at risk.

How do you stop once you start?

Put physical limits on your phone. You can put it on airplane mode, set a timer or rely on a screentime app that sets limits on social media use. Then find alternatives to fill that void.

That doesn’t mean you can’t stay informed or up to date. Just think about what is important to you and set some boundaries. Perhaps it’s only giving yourself 30 minutes at lunch to catch up on the news. Once that time frame is up, it’s time to focus on other things.

"A healthy blood pressure reading is one of the keys to overall heart health, and there are several steps one can take to maintain a good level – at 120/80 or lower,” said Yale Medicine interventional cardiologist Brian Cambi, MD, of the Yale New Haven Health Heart and Vascular Center. “These include a healthy diet and exercise which can go a long way to help prevent conditions like stroke, which can be caused by high blood pressure.” To learn more about how you can monitor and control your blood pressure, visit http://ynh.care/1bh.

The longstanding belief that eggs will raise your cholesterol is not all it’s cracked up to be.
Sure, eggs do contain cholesterol, but it takes more than avoiding omelets to unscramble your numbers and accurately evaluate your risks for cardiovascular disease.
Did you know, for example, that 70 to 80 percent of the cholesterol in your body is produced within the body? Only roughly 20 to 30 percent comes from food.“Our bodies produce cholesterol because it’s actually vital to cell function and good health,” said cardiologist Meghana Rao Brito, MD, of the Heart and Vascular Center at L+M and Yale New Haven hospitals, and assistant professor of Medicine, Yale School of Medicine. “It’s only when a person’s cholesterol gets too high that it can begin to cause plaque buildup in the arteries that can lead to cardiovascular disease, including heart attack and stroke.
