Arteries can stiffen and narrow as we age, making it harder for your heart to pump blood through your veins. Kinda like when your foot gets stuck in your skinny jeans. Keep an eye on your blood pressure to make sure your heart isn’t working too hard. Below 120/80 is ideal.

Lower stress with the power of connection. It comes in many forms – from a reunion with an old friend, to an everyday interaction at the grocery store, to a moment of silence in nature. Find the form of connection that works best for you.
