"Many of us haven’t just changed where we work; we’ve also changed how we work. We no longer walk down the hall for a meeting, dart across the street for a coffee, or even walk to the subway for a commute. Instead we just sit."
One easy way to help minimize strain on your eyes, neck and low back is to get up and move every 20 minutes. It doesn't mean you have to go for a 10 minute walk. Just do the opposite of the shape you were just in! For example, sitting working on a laptop = standing, arms by your side or back behind you, chest open and looking up toward the ceiling with eyes focusing on something that's further than a few feet in front of you.

There is emerging evidence that COVID-19 is a vascular disease. In a paper published in April in the scientific journal The Lancet, a team of scientists discovered that COVID-19 can infect the endothelial cells that line the inside of blood vessels. Endothelial cells protect the cardiovascular system, and they release proteins that influence everything from blood clotting to the immune response. In the paper, the scientists showed damage to endothelial cells in the lungs, heart, kidneys, liver, and gut in people with COVID-19. Sure it starts in the receptors of the respiratory system, but once there, it can get into the blood stream and affect any tissue in the body...HELLO COVID TOE!!
Doctors have continually been baffled by thousands of tiny strokes or blood clots in patients old and young which is not a hallmark of influenza virus or other coronaviruses.
Blood vessel damage could also explain why people with pre-existing conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and heart disease are at a higher risk for severe complications from a virus that’s supposed to just infect the lungs. This means that virtually anyone presenting to a doctors office or hospital feeling ill could have coronavirus and that further and faster testing (beyond a simple nasal swab) could be necessary to form a complete action plan.

Endothelial cell infection and endotheliitis in COVID-19
A newly published study found no beneficial effect on either cardiovascular disease (CVD) or death of lowering saturated fatty acid (SFA) intake AND that saturated fat intake is actually protective against stroke. This reassessment of dietary saturated fat intake was based on a meta-analysis of randomized control trials (the strongest data available), as well as observational studies.
Bottom Line: "Whole-fat dairy, unprocessed meat, eggs and dark chocolate are SFA-rich foods with a complex matrix that are not associated with increased risk of CVD. The totality of available evidence does not support further limiting the intake of such foods.”

WE DID IT JOE....NAS Salk! 🤣 Little vaccine history humor for y’all. Glad to do my part so normalcy can return quickly
Our office will be closed December 24th and 25th as well as December 31st and January 1st.
COVID-19 spreads easily whether gatherings are large or small. We encourage you to celebrate the holidays with those in your immediate household to protect yourself and others.
If you have any COVID-19 symptoms, you have been recently diagnosed with COVID-19 or have been exposed to someone with COVID-19, you should NOT attend any gatherings until after your quarantine ends.
We wish everyone a HAPPY and SAFE Holiday!!
It's cold out there so I'm coming in hot with some vaccine research updates, tips on how to stave off the winter blues and dates where we'll be out of the office. Happy Hump Day!
