Back In Rhythm
Two years ago, Stacy Clark was only 45 when she was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation — “A Fib” — is an abnormal heart rhythm in which the upper chambers of the heart (atria) are out of sync with the lower chambers of the heart (ventricles).
In atrial fibrillation, the atria “quiver” chaotically and the ventricles beat irregularly, causing such symptoms as a fluttering feeling in the chest, a racing pulse, low energy, a faint or dizzy feeling, chest pressure or discomfort, shortness of breath and anxiety, and in Clark’s case, an unusual symptom of tunnel vision when her heart was out of rhythm. click for moreTHE CORE
Home to our abdominals, lower back, latissimus dorsi (lats) and obliques, our core — or torso — is at the center of almost every move we make. We use our core to sit down, stand up, to get out of bed, to get in and out of a car, to bend over, to lift, to balance and for so much more.
Ball or chair exercises for core strength
To help improve your core strength, sit on a large exercise ball or a chair. Maintaining good posture with your “sit bones” on the middle of the ball or chair (the two bone bumps designed to bear your seated weight), line knees up with shoulders, feet flat on the floor. click for moreWhat’s In A Label?

Salt
The American Heart Association® and The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention™ (CDC) list the recommended adequate amount of daily sodium as 1,500 milligrams or less. click for more
