Episode 40: In this episode, host Angie Gust talks about our hearts. Advancing age is the primary risk factor for heart problems. The reason for this is due to the dysfunction of our arteries. What can be done? In addition to other lifestyle changes, inspiratory muscle strength training (which is breathing against a resistive load) could be considered. This helps with blood pressure and other respiratory muscles. Turning to the environment, climate change journalist, David Wallace Wells, says countries are not keeping their pledges on climate change. None of the 187 countries that signed the Paris Agreement is on track for emissions reductions in line with the 1.5 degree F target. Let's keep up the pressure and support candidates and organizations who are making solutions to climate change their top priority.
