PITTSBURGH – Pennsylvania voters are split on whether Lt. Gov. John Fetterman’s health is cause for concern after Tuesday night’s debate against Dr. Mehmet Oz.

Mark Wahlberg recently opened up about his “dialled-down” daily health regime, which starts at 3.30am every day.

The actor spoke to the Washington StreetJournal about his new routine to stay healthy.

Wahlberg explained that he wakes up between 3.30am and 4am and takes a number of supplements, including vitamins C and D, instead of his previous breakfast of oats, peanut butter, blueberries and eggs for breakfast.

“In the morning getting up early, there’s no one around,” Wahlberg said of his chosen wakeup time. “I’m going through all my emails reaching out to everybody I work with in various respects.

“I can make a lot of those calls in the morning, if I’m going back and forth to the golf course or when I’m in the car.”

Previously, the actor made headlines for waking up at 2.30am and eating up to eight meals a day, now favoring fasting for up to

The journey to begin advocacy can feel overwhelming. Many questions arise. How do I start? What do I say? Does anyone want to hear from me? We recently asked Social Health Network members to share their best first steps:

“Let’s talk advocacy. For many, taking the first step to openly talk about what they’re going through can be intimidating. What advice do you have for others who are looking to share their health story or become an advocate themselves?”

A few common themes emerged.

Tell your story

The way to begin a journey with advocacy is by telling your story. Start where it is comfortable. Talk to friends. Start a blog or vlog. Put words to the experiences you live with chronic illness. Your story will resonate with others facing similar challenges.

“Telling your story takes practice. Look on social media to see how others are doing it and start

Many people, who are starting with their fitness journey, find it hard to do squats or bending at the hips and holding the movement. Since it is an effective lower body exercise, it forms an important part of any bodyweight training and hence, cannot be skipped.

What are squats?

The compound movement of a squats involves lowering the hips from a standing position and then standing back up.

So, what can you do if you find it difficult to do squats properly?

The trick lies in gradually progressing with squats by doing modifications, said ultra trail runner Purva Narang.

“If you’re not ready to drop it like it’s hot just yet, start with these modifications. Progress at your own pace while working through them,” she said in a post on Instagram.

According to her, here are some modifications that can be easily tried.

Mental health is inextricably tied to physical health. According to the Centers for Disease Control, mental health “includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices.” 1

Patient advocacy is hard work, and it can take a toll on your mental health. Not only do our patient leaders live every day with chronic and terminal conditions, but they spend their time sharing their stories, doing outreach to communities, and even working with politicians to change laws. This can leave little time for things like self-care, rest, and leisure.

We hope to empower those living with mental health conditions to share their journeys and not be afraid to speak up about their lives. On our Health Union condition-specific communities, we speak about mental health frequently. For example, the Editorial Team

For the third consecutive year, sailors will participate in one physical fitness assessment cycle in 2023.

Historically, two cycles were held each calendar year, but that changed in March 2020 when the Navy called off all physical fitness assessments due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tests didn’t resume until July 2021 as part of a single PFA cycle.

The PFA for next year will run from Feb. 1 to Nov. 30.

Due to the single cycle, the Navy is not granting any exemptions to sailors who’ve previously earned overall performance levels of excellent or above. That was the case last year, as well.

“There will be no excellent or above incentive exemption for CY23,” a naval administrative message said. “… Commanders, commanding officers, and officers-in-charge are encouraged to use incentive programs for the physical readiness program (special liberty, award certificates, etc.).”

How summer heat affects them

One of the questions we asked was about surviving the summer heat: “We’re having never-ending summer here on the east coast of the United States. Does heat affect your health condition?” Overwhelmingly, the response was “yes!”

“Yes, very much, especially for my Lupus. Too hot can trigger a flare, so I have to stay cool.”

“Yes!!! My mast cell disease doesn’t allow for great temp control. The heat increases my chronic dehydration and affects the wear time of my ostomy bag.”

“Heat only affects CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukemia) patients if they’re already experiencing ‘night sweats,’ which some have. Add on
