Robocalls are still a thing, but text spam has boomed, and the attacks are becoming sophisticated. Like robocalls, the number you see as the sender isn’t necessarily where the text comes from, sometimes mirroring your area code to seem less suspicious. Text scams are particularly dangerous because we have grown accustomed to receiving robotexts for legitimate purposes and may voluntarily give away non-public information. Here are some quick tips: * Be on the lookout; if it says "urgent," it's likely a lure. * Don't click or download anything. Criminals want your personal financial information. * If you receive a suspicious text from an unfamiliar source, never text back because it confirms your number is active. Report the text & block the sender. * Mark unknown messages as "spam" or "junk," so it will automatically filter the unknown senders to trash. * Try a filtering app that goes beyond your phone's basic ability. Avoid further damage by using a password manager to create and store long, unique passwords and set up multifactor protection for all of your accounts that offer it. Spam Texts Are Surging. Here’s How to Avoid Being Swindled. (https://www.wsj.com/articles/spam-texts-are-surging-heres-how-to-avoid-being-swindled-11661028971) by Nicole Nguyen ** Your Life ------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone knows that exercise is a critical component in a healthy lifestyle to combat negative aspects of aging, diseases, and other challenges. Seems every year, there are new exercises that appeal to most of the population that do not, and hate to, exercise, hence motivating people to get moving. Introducing micro workout. Slipping in tiny exercise “snacks” can actually boot fat metabolism by 43%. The goal is to increase your heart rate by only a minute or less at a time. Structured daily exercise does not negate the harmful effects of sitting for much of the day, so these snacks can help break up sedentary periods, says Martin Gibala, Ph.D., a professor of kinesiology at McMaster University in Ontario. Preliminary research suggests that among people who typically sit for eight hours per day, those who complete five 4-second cycling sprints every hour during the workday (for a total of 160 seconds of exercise) had 31% lower triglyceride levels and 43% higher body-fat metabolism the next day. Doing a Micro Workout Can Boost Fat Metabolism By 43%—Here's How to Do It (https://www.eatingwell.com/article/7914117/health-benefits-micro-workouts-plus-how-to-do-it/) by Karen Asp https://www.linkedin.com/in/danheth/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/rosalynn-harvey-heth-mpa-ceps-3a3aa3191/ ** Complexity Simplified ------------------------------------------------------------ What are the short-term effects of vaping and smoking? Immediately after exposure to nicotine, there is a “kick” caused in part by the drug’s stimulation of the adrenal glands and resulting discharge of epinephrine (adrenaline). This rush of adrenaline stimulates the body and causes an increase in blood pressure, respiration, and heart rate. Like other drugs, nicotine also activates reward pathways in the brain—circuitry that regulates reinforcement and feelings of pleasure. When tobacco is smoked, nicotine rapidly reaches peak levels in the bloodstream and enters the brain. A typical smoker will take 10 puffs on a cigarette over the roughly 5 minutes that the cigarette is lit. Thus, a person who smokes about one pack (20 cigarettes) daily gets 200 "hits" of nicotine to the brain each day. Among those who do not inhale the smoke—such as cigar and pipe smokers and smokeless tobacco users—nicotine is absorbed through mucous membranes in the mouth and reaches peak blood and brain levels more slowly.
