The California crisis centers have started receiving calls to 988 since July 16, 2022, when it became available nationwide.

"We at Didi Hirsch are dedicated to working towards the common goal of providing a solution to the mental health crisis our nation faces today," said Didi Hirsch's Chief Executive Officer Lyn Morris, LMFT. "We are excited about our partnership with Self-Care Is For Everyone and know this campaign will help drive awareness of the historical launch and support the cause".

Self-Care Is For Everyone (@selfcareisforeveryone) has distributed more than $680,000 to independent artists and nonprofit organizations serving the mental-health community.

This new and faster way to access mental health care gives us hope for a better future where those struggling can feel less alone," shares Self-Care Is For Everyone Co-Founder Jonathan Martofel, LMFT. "Being able to give back through this collection is really meaningful because the funds go directly to support Didi Hirsch and help strengthen their efforts in answering these life-saving calls."

988 is more than just an easy-to-remember numberit's a direct connection to compassionate, accessible care and support for anyone experiencing mental health-related distress whether that is thoughts of suicide, mental health or substance use crisis, or any other kind of emotional distress. People can also dial 988 if they are worried about a loved one who may need crisis support.

Self-Care Is For Everyone partnered with mental health advocate and artist Cami Zea (@zeaink) to create the designs for the merch collection. The "What If It Gets Better?"collection includes two unique designs in two colorways available in t-shirts ($29.88) and crewnecks ($39.88), with 100% of the net profits being donated to Didi Hirsch. The designs feature a range of affirmations and healing statements that spell out the words 988 in large letters and remind those who are struggling with their mental health to call 988. Every order includes a free 3" vinyl 988 sticker, access to a digital mental health self-care toolkit, a voucher to try one free month of online therapy, and a campaign postcard with healing affirmations.

As individuals who fear the unknown, loyalists can often spiral down a rabbit hole when thinking about future events. This behavior often leads to "catastrophizing," which Healthline defines as "when someone assumes that the worst will happen."

Whether you have an upcoming exam, a pending performance review with your boss, or a big family reunion next week, there are several healthy coping mechanisms you can utilize to offload your anxieties. To help clear your head of overwhelming and stressful thoughts, The Every Girl recommends meditating using an app such as Headspace, Unplug, or SuperHuman. Meditation has many scientifically proven benefits including improving sleep, increasing self-awareness, and reducing anxiety.

Writing down everything you are thinking or feeling is another healthy way to offload your stress, as recommended by Truity. Using this tactic helps you literally transfer all of the stressful thoughts from your brain to a piece of paper. Once all of your worries have been written down, you can then begin to work through each one. It's important to remind yourself of a few things when looking at that list. For one, not all of these worries are within your control, and not all of these worries are your burdens to bear.

If You're An Enneagram Type 6, You Should Try This Wellness Trend - The List

University of Minnesota School of Public Health postdoctoral fellow Tongtan (Bert) Chantarat co-led a study, published in Health Services Research, that quantifies problems involving workplace climate, culture and professional discrimination experienced by researchers within the health services and policy research (HSPR) field. His collaborators are Taylor B. Rogers (University of California, Los Angeles), Carmen R. Mitchell (University of Louisville) and Michelle J. Ko (University of California, Davis).

In the HSPR field, researchers use multidisciplinary research approaches to understand health and healthcare problems. Their work includes identifying strategies to dismantle structural oppression and its health impacts. To accomplish this, it is vital that researchers look at challenges to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) within their own field.

Prior research has shown significant gaps remain for groups historically and structurally excluded from health professions, including those who are Black, Hispanic/Latinx and LGBQTI+. The study surveyed 906 researchers and trainees in the U.S. to understand the professional climate in HSPR workplaces, such as universities, non-academic institutes and private corporations, and to ascertain efforts to advance DEI in the HSPR workforce.

The research found:

When people talk about DEI, most focus on the diversity part because they can report statistics to show progress, said Chantarat. But, it is just as important to ensure that workplaces have systems to support the success of those from historically and structurally excluded groups. We will not achieve health equity if we continue to uphold harmful environments that push researchers from our workforce.

These findings help identify areas for growth to strengthen the HSPR workplace climate. Prior research has shown that non-inclusive work conditions have driven Black/African American and Hispanic/Latinx scholars from academic institutions.

Workplace equity and inclusion are also necessary components for ensuring sustainability of DEI efforts. HSPR research plays a critical role in the work of health equity, and it is vital that self-awareness, accountability and substantive institutional reform occurs within the field itself. The Workplace Culture Survey, which the study team used to collect the data, is available for future projects to use.

This work is supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), in cooperation with the UC Davis Center for a Diverse Health Workforce. Participant recruitment support was provided by AcademyHealth; however, AcademyHealth did not provide financial support for this project, and was not involved in the design of the study or the analysis and interpretation of the results. Additional technical support was provided by the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research and the UCLA Center for the Study of Racism, Social Justice, and Health.

Fitness is not a one size fits all program and no one knows that better than Michael Blauner more commonly known as New Jerseys premier in-home personal fitness trainer. And with over three decades of personal training experience on his resume, its safe to say that Blauner knows a thing or two or 10 about health and fitness.

Blauner, a certified personal trainer in Bergen County, NJ, specializes in bringing individualized fitness routines into homes. The goal is simple motivate people to engage in regular physical activities in order to improve all aspects of their life. My program is based on technically correct exercise science and instinct, he said.

Blauner has trained everyone from celebrities and Wall Street financiers to walk-ins off the street. His current clientele includes over 50 residential communities, senior housing developments, country club fitness rooms and private residences.

My goal is to provide the best fitness program available by customizing each program to fit each individuals needs, he adds.

In case you need further proof that his program works, just take a look at Blauners credentials. He is a Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Senior Fitness Specialist, Lifestyle and Weight Management Specialist, Certified Pilates Instructor, Red Cross CPR Certified. Blauner has also been featured in over 30 national publications, designs custom fitness center and currently runs a gym in Bergen County.

With all that experience working in the fitness industry with adults of all ages and stage of life, Blauner says that the keys to a successful exercise regimen are simplicity and enjoyment.

Regardless of your current level of fitness, basic fundamentals of fitness work the best in order to achieve lasting health, he said. My program is effective for everyone especially people who do not have a consistent health and fitness regimen.

Blauners focus is to get people moving and feeling great in a non-intimidating way. Significant gains in physical fitness can be achieved at any age regardless of where you begin your journey, he said.

In an effort to streamline his approach even further, Blauner has shared what he calls the 10 Rules of Health & Fitness a collection of fitness musts that he has learned over the course of his own fitness journey. These are basic rules that everyone should follow in order to make a positive impact on their health, said Blauner.

The number one rule on the list is: Diet matters more than exercise.

This is always the best place to start, Blauner adds. Take a look at what youre putting into your body in order to get what you want out of it.

Number two the waistline. Put the scale away, he said. As a barometer of overall health, your waistline tells the story.

And for those who say fruit offers unnecessary sugar and carbs, number three reveals the opposite. No one gains weight from eating fruit, said Blauner. In fact, its quite the opposite. Fruits are a great source of essential vitamins and minerals and are high in fiber and antioxidants, which means it can reduce a persons risk of heart disease, cancer, inflammation and diabetes.

The next four rules zero in on exercise. Exercise for strength looking good is a welcome side effect, said Blauner. Basic exercise, such as push-ups (a compound exercise that activates multiple muscle groups across your body), works best. Fast walking is also the best form of cardio you can do. Frequency over intensity all day long.

Number eight variety is overrated. You heard that right, said Blauner. Variety in diet and exercise is not always the key to progression or transformation. Its okay to find a plan that works and stick to it. Results will follow.

The next rule is one that everyone should be familiar with. Drink water all day long, said Blauner. The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine has determined that an adequate daily fluid intake is about 15.5 cups of fluids a day for men and 11.5 cups of fluids a day for women.

Finally, rule number 10 individuals only need a 15-minute all body strength routine daily to stay in great shape. Dont overthink this, said Blauner. 15 minutes of exercise is all you need to see a change.

How Apple is empowering people with their health information

A new report shares the ways Apple products are helping users, developers, and health organizations advance personal health, research, and care

Today Apple shared a new report that offers a snapshot of the ways Apple products are empowering people to be at the center of their health, and acting as an intelligent guardian for their health and safety. Users, developers, medical institutions, and health organizations around the world are using Apple devices, features, and APIs to break down barriers between people and their health information, all while keeping privacy in mind.

Apples efforts to advance health primarily fall into two categories, which are detailed in two corresponding sections of the report. The first section describes Apples focus on personal health and fitness features on Apple Watch and iPhone that offer actionable, science-based insights and help protect users health and safety. The second section shares Apples work with the medical community to support research and care. Both sections along with an Extensions and Spotlights section at the reports end include a variety of examples of third-party developers, health institutions, and organizations innovating with Apple technology.

We believe passionately that technology can play a role in improving health outcomes and encouraging people to live a healthier day, and we are excited about the many ways users are benefiting from our health and fitness features, and by the ways third-party developers, institutions, and organizations are using Apple technology to advance health and science, said Jeff Williams, Apples chief operating officer. Our vision for the future is to continue to create science-based technology that equips people with even more information and acts as an intelligent guardian for their health, so theyre no longer passengers on their own health journey. Instead, we want people to be firmly in the drivers seat with meaningful, actionable insights.

Empowering Users on Their Personal Health Journeys

Since the release of the Health app in 2014 and Apple Watch in 2015, Apple has introduced a wide array of innovative health and fitness features, with the goal to provide users with easy-to-understand, meaningful insights so they can be empowered to live a healthier life. The report outlines the four pillars of Apples health and fitness features: 1) giving users a central and secure place to store and view their health data in the Health app, 2) offering features that enable Apple Watch to act as an intelligent guardian for users health, 3) offering features that help users improve their everyday health and fitness for better health outcomes, and 4) fueling innovative third-party health and fitness apps with developer tools.

With the release of iOS 16 and watchOS 9 this fall, Apple Watch and iPhone will offer features that focus on 17 areas of health and fitness, from heart health and sleep to mobility and womens health, and more. Over the years, customers of all ages have shared how these health and fitness features have, in their own words, changed their lives. Several share their stories in the report, including customers who have discovered serious heart conditions, received emergency assistance after a fall, or dramatically improved their health through daily activity.

Users can now store over 150 different types of health data from Apple Watch, iPhone, and connected third-party apps and devices in one central view in the Health app, in addition to available health records data from connected institutions in the US, UK, and Canada. There are now tens of thousands of apps on the App Store that use the HealthKit API, which allows developers to incorporate data users choose to share from the Health app to offer innovative health and fitness experiences, with rigorous privacy and data security protocols. The report spotlights examples of globally popular HealthKit-enabled apps like Nike Run Club, Calm, and WeightWatchers, plus an increasing number of HealthKit-enabled apps including Qardio heart health and Withings Health Mate that use connected accessories to allow users to track and monitor even more aspects of their health.

Supporting the Health Ecosystem by Collaborating with the Medical Community

Apple believes the strongest health innovations are possible only through direct collaboration with the medical community, and the report describes four categories of this collaboration: 1) building tools to enable researchers to make new scientific discoveries, 2) helping strengthen the physician-patient relationship with meaningful data, 3) collaborating with health organizations to promote healthy lifestyles at large scale, and 4) supporting public health and government initiatives.

The ResearchKit framework gives researchers the opportunity to recruit study participants from a large user base of iPhone and Apple Watch users, and for participants to choose to share health data to help advance science. Through the Research app, Apple has collaborated with Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Brigham and Womens Hospital and the American Heart Association, and the University of Michigan and World Health Organization to offer users across the US the opportunity to participate in three first-of-their-kind research studies: the Apple Womens Health Study, the Apple Heart and Movement Study, and the Apple Hearing Study. Early learnings from the studies appear in the report, as well as information on other studies Apple has supported, like the Heart Failure Study with University Health Network and the Digital Mental Health Study with UCLA.

Health Records on iPhone in the Health app, along with apps and devices developed by third parties using Apple developer tools, help strengthen physician-patient relationships with meaningful data. Health Records is now available to patients at over 800 institutions across over 12,000 locations, making it easy for patients to see their available medical data from multiple providers in the Health app whenever they choose. Research has shown that connecting patients with their care teams remotely results in better outcomes with the Corrie Health app, UVA Health care at home programs, and the US Department of Veterans Affairs loaning Apple devices to veterans to connect them with their VA healthcare services. Care teams are better able to help patients with chronic conditions at Ochsner Health System and NHS Sunderland, and remote monitoring is reducing the cost and length of stays in the neonatal intensive care units at Odense University Hospital and the University of Virginia Childrens Hospital, where premature babies can come home with their parents but stay connected to care teams remotely.

Health organizations and companies around the world including Paceline in the US; Vitality Active Rewards in the US, the UK, South Africa, and Australia; and LumiHealth in Singapore have collaborated with Apple to integrate Apple Watch into their wellness programs. There are currently 55 programs running in 17 countries with over a million users taking part in an incentive program leveraging Apple Watch. These programs have been successful in increasing participants physical activity levels and uptake of health behaviors, such as aiming for more regular sleep patterns, focusing on mindfulness, and swapping in healthier food options.

Finally, the report highlights Apples partnerships with clinicians and local governments on unique ways to support their crucial work to promote public health, including building apps and features during the COVID-19 health crisis.

Grounded in Science and Designed Around Privacy

All of Apples health and fitness features have been developed with two overarching principles:

Do I need to warm up before a swimming workout?

Warming up before a workout is always a good idea. Taking 5 to 10 minutes to warm up the muscles you plan to use before starting your workout can help loosen your joints and prime those muscles for exercise, Koleber says. Before swimming, perform a few sets of push-ups and planks on dry land, and then spend a few laps swimming at a slow, easy pace to warm up.

The number of calories youll burn when swimming varies depending on your age, sex, body weight, and the intensity and duration of the exercise. However, as mentioned above, a 150-pound person may burn 216 calories from 30 minutes of general swimming (not vigorous), according to Harvard Medical School. If that same person increases the intensity, the expected calorie burn can jump to 360 calories in 30 minutes.

When youre first starting out, any number of laps youre able to do is a good swimming workout. For those who need concrete numbers, however, four laps of any basic stroke is a good distance to start with, Slabaugh says. (For reference, standard-sized pools tend to be 25 yards long, according to U.S. Masters Swimming.) From there, the number of laps you do will depend on your goals, intensity, fitness level, and how much time you have to exercise.

Swimming is a full-body workout. It works the large muscles in your back (latissimus dorsi and trapezius), chest (pectoralis major), shoulders (deltoids), hips (glutes), legs (quadriceps and hamstrings), and midsection (abdominals), Buckingham says.

Many groups of people, including beginners, kids, older adults, pregnant women, people with chronic conditions, and those with joint pain or injuries, can all potentially benefit from swimming. However, its a good idea to consult with your physician if you have any medical condition or injury that may make exercise and swimming in particular unsafe. In addition, Slabaugh recommends avoiding swimming if youre recovering from surgery, have open wounds, or cant complete the strokes.

A comfortable swimsuit and a pair of goggles may be all you need. However, some people may want to wear a swimming cap to protect their hair from damage from pool chemicals or salt water.

Aside from a swimsuit, goggles, and a swim cap (if you prefer to use one), most other swim gear is optional. However, if youre swimming in a natural body of water, its a good idea to get a safety buoy to increase your visibility and give you something to hang onto if you get tired, Koleber says.

Optional gear includes:

While swimming is low-impact, the repetitive motions can still cause pain and injuries, if youre not careful. The most common swimming-related issues include swimmers shoulder, lower back pain, breaststroke knee, and foot and ankle tendonitis, according to the Hospital for Special Surgery(HSS).The best way to avoid all of these injuries is to use proper swimming technique, build strength in the muscles that support your stroke, include a warm-up and cooldown in every workout, and progress your routine gradually, per the HSS.

Youll have heard of Veja one of the first sustainable shoe brands in the world loved by the likes of Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton, Emma Watson and Emily Ratajkowski.

So, when I heard theyd launched their first workout trainer, the Impala, I was keen to try it. Its their lightest trainer ever, is made from rice waste, and was designed to be worn for both work and workouts, ideal for the busy working woman.

Being honest, Im still yet to find a workout shoe that can do both well that is, most other trainers that look acceptable with work clothes arent actually that good for working out in, let alone weight training or running longer distances. But thats where the Veja Impalas come in, promising to look good and perform well for running, HIIT workouts, strength training and more.

I put them to the test, taking using them for a 3 mile, 5 mile, and 6 mile run and a few strength training sessions at my local gym, too. How did they fare? Youll have to keep scrolling to find out. Dont miss our AllBirds TreeFlyer review, while youre here.

Good question. When I first unboxed the trainers, I was impressed. The shoes look more elevated and less sporty than other alternatives, if thats not your thing ideal for if youre after a workout shoe that you can seamlessly transition into your work wardrobe, too.

But did they stand the sweat test? Short answer: yes. Sure, theyre not as propulsive and springy as some of the running-focused Nike, Hoka, Adidas or other brand alternatives, but that said, you couldnt really wear those to the office without them really standing out.

The Veja Impalas, on the other hand, strike the perfect balance. Theyre breathable, have a good grip, and didnt cause any blisters. They go well with dresses, skirts and trousers, but dont sacrifice on performance, either. For all of my workouts, my feet and ankles felt supported and stable, and I was impressed with both the weight (theyre super light) and the bounce.

Not only are they functional, but theyre fashionable, too offering comfort, style and, a workout trainer that wont give you shin splints if you actually workout in them.

Not to mention the fact that theyre wide, giving those of you lucky enough not to have wide feet extra room for comfort or any swelling, and those of us with wide feet (myself included) adequate room and breathability. I sometimes struggle in summer months when its hot (anyone else relate?). When my feet swell, the laces and upper of some trainers can cut in. Not with the Impalas, though, which I tested in both Croatia and Turkey in over 30 degree heat a big plus point from me.

Theyre a great option for holidays as I said, I took them on both of mine. They look good for the plane and mean you save precious space on packing two pairs of trainers (a fitness pair and a fashion pair). Plus, theyre super comfortable.

Cons: While theyre great for two or three workouts a week, I wouldnt wear them for more than that as, at that level of training, youd likely need more cushioning and support (read our round-up of the best running trainers, here). Theyre a good basic shoe, but I wouldnt advise for, say, marathon training.

Its also worth noting that the laces are quite long, and I had to draw the loops rather wide to stop myself from tripping over them.

Bottom line: The Impalas are a great all-rounder I ran, strength trained, walked and hiked in mine and they still look brand new, bar a bit of dust here and there. Theyre my new go-to option and recommendation for people who work out a few times a week and want a pair of trainers that they can wear outside of their workouts, too.

After all, its important that we all strive to be more sustainable in our day-to-day and invest in products and clothes that you dont just wear for one thing, rather, all the time and for a variety of occasions.

Most of us spend most of our gym time dead-set on blasting our biceps and torching our triceps, but fail to place any focus on our forearms.

Sure, we may bang out a few sets of hammer curls every other workout and consider that a heavy-hitting forearm day. But aesthetics aren't the only downside of skipping this prominent muscleweak forearms can result in weaker performance in exercises that require grip strength, i.e. deadlifts and rows, which are important for all-around strength and size.

However, this simple exercise, called the long-lever forearm rotation, can easily place some much-needed focus on your forearms. Long-lever forearm rotations are great for building grip and forearm strength and can even help to address certain types of elbow aches, according to Mens Health fitness director Ebenezer Samuel, C.S.C.S. An added bonus: Long-lever forearm rotations can be done virtually anywhere and with any type of long handle, such as a broomstick.

Heavy weight really isnt needed for this exercise to be effective, either. Youll just need a light bar thatll be placed in one hand in an offset position, creating a challenging lever for your forearms to twist against.

Grip a bar in your hand. Hold it tight.

Twist the bar back and forth, left to right, over and over.

Repeat for three sets with each arm for about 40 seconds.

The movement is different than how most people train forearms; according to Samuel, most exercises tend to curl our wrists upward. With long-lever forearm rotations, we rotate at the elbow, forcing our forearms to work harder than normal to allow the rotation to happenthe long lever side is sneakily heavier than you would expect, youve been warned.

Do these rotations slowly, which will force your forearms to stay in control. You can increase or decrease the difficulty level simply by gripping the bar closer or farther to its center.

Coconut water delivers around 60 milligrams of calcium per serving which is a lot considering it has no calories.

15. Helps get rid of hangovers

Next time you have a hangover, you must get yourself a glass of fresh coconut water. Its non-acidic plus is rich in potassium which will soothe your stomach and effectively help you get rid of that hangover.

With plenty of benefits for the skin and body, coconut water is one of the best natural beverages out there.
