"Obesity and the destruction of attention are two of the biggest long-term public health crises we face today. The former mainly affects physical health, the latter mental health". Nice quote from the article by Brad Stulberg

Time flies. We need to get ready for our cardiac rehab program at Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital to get re-certified, too. It's been a great journey, which allows us to measure up our outcomes, with the best in the world.

Interesting article on 'Tour de France' nutrition and fueling. Contrary, to the current trend of 'carbs' being the 'villain', they are the mainstay of very long distance endurance exercise.

Nice article on the challenges of implementing #cardiacrehab, an essential, class 1 A therapy, for those with heart disease. In my opinion, a strong referral from the treating cardiologist is most important, and will overcome most other 'barriers'.
