Exercise is one of the most powerful tools we have to protect our heart health at every stage of life. This week, Dr. Kahn explores a new statement from the American College of Cardiology emphasizing the importance of physical activity throughout our lives. Sadly, fewer than 20% of teens meet the criteria for optimal cardiovascular health, highlighting a major opportunity to make movement and exercise a bigger part of everyday life in our schools and workplaces. The benefits go far beyond the heart—from head to toe!

Also covered in this episode: statins and dementia, new data on Repatha, CoQ10 and diabetes, elevated blood pressure and mortality, tadalafil and muscle health, and the connection between long COVID and high blood pressure.
