Generational trauma happens when a member of your family experiences trauma that isn’t fully resolved.

It can stem from any deeply stressful or overwhelming event or pattern that has a big impact on your physical and mental well-being.

It’s estimated that 70% of adults, about 223 million people worldwide, have reported at least one traumatic experience in their life. These experiences can change the way you go about your life. They can affect what you teach your children — whether you realize it or not. Your kids learn from your example and raise their children similarly. And so on and so on.

Just as your parents and grandparents might have taught you how to bake a favorite family dessert, they may have also — subtly or not — shared unhealthy coping mechanisms, difficult relationship patterns, lingering fears and other effects.

Breaking the cycle of generational trauma starts with understanding it as a part of your story. Families pass down both strengths and struggles. You can honor your past while choosing a healthier future.

When you work out, are you doing too much or not enough? There’s a simple way to know: Your target heart rate

A wearable activity tracker makes it super easy to track your heart rate or take your pulse on the inside of your wrist. If your heart rate is too high, you’re straining. If your heart rate is too low, you may want to push yourself a little harder, especially if you’re trying to lose weight.
