Mental health support is an essential part of overall care for adults living with congenital heart disease. Don’t hesitate to talk to your care team about mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, or thinking or memory problems.

🗣️ Federico Valverde: "In Uruguay, things are just different. Hardship is in our blood. I don't like to say we were poor. I prefer to say my mom and dad were hustlers. My dad worked as a security guard at the casino. My mom sold clothes and toys from a street cart at the flea market. I can still hear the sound of the wheels as she was pushing her huge shopping cart full of boxes down the street. It seemed like something only The Hulk could do, and it was just my poor little mum! But she was a warrior, man. She was going to get that cart to the market — in the heat, the cold, the thunder. I used to go along with her sometimes and sit on top of the boxes, watching the cars go by, without realizing her sacrifice. The worst part was that, at the end of a long day, you had to fold all the clothes and pack up everything again and push the f****** cart back home! Then cook dinner! And wash my dirty socks! Can you imagine? I'm telling you — my mother, she's my hero. She worked from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and my dad worked 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. So you can do the math. We had one golden hour to sit together and eat our little piece of meat for the three of us. And what's incredible to me now, thinking back on everything, is that my mom always made sure that I had my Coke. Man, I was a little brat about my soda. In Spain or in America, it will seem like nothing to most people. "It's just a Coke. It's almost free." But for me, it was more like champagne. What she sacrificed sometimes so I could have my can of Coke, I don't even know. I'm not sure I want to. As a kid, you're naive. You see your mom not eating a meal, and you think, "Oh, she's not hungry? That's weird. I'm starving." Looking back, you understand what she was doing. As long as we were together at the dinner table at the end of the day, that was her happiness."

Chapter 34 in SLEEP AND HEALTH extends the discussion of insomnia to an area that is less well known -- the link between "Insomnia and Cardiometabolic Disease Risk." Led by Julio Fernandez-Mendoza, a leading researcher and clinician in this area, this chapter outlines how insomnia -- not just short sleep duration -- is an important factor in overall cardiometabolic health and why addressing insomnia may lead to improved health outcomes.

Kelleher: "I find a bit difficult when I hear people speaking about the players at Liverpool and performances, because I don’t think this season is even important from a football aspect for them to be honest. It’s more about them personally and mentally" independent.co.uk/sport/football…

@CoachDanGo @grok reference please

Men who have sex once a month are 45% more likely to have cardiovascular disease compared to those who have sex 2-3 times a week.

Oh, be careful, Merriam-Webster, lest we suffer vertigo from the dizzying heights of our lexical ground.
