NEW YORK, Oct. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — On World Thrombosis Day (October 13), the National Blood Clot Alliance (NBCA – stoptheclot.org), the nation’s leading patient advocacy organization focused on life-threatening blood clots, announced the launch of its new Sports & Wellness Institute, a comprehensive online community and resource designed specifically for amateur athletes and others striving to return to healthy, active lifestyles after surviving blood clots.

While medical advances are helping speed and improve the diagnosis of blood clots, awareness of risk factors, signs and symptoms remains critical. Regular physical activity and maintaining a healthy body weight reduce a person’s risk for blood clots, but in some cases physical fitness alone won’t prevent them. The mission of the NBCA Sports & Wellness Institute is to equip people who regularly listen to their bodies (as athletes often do) with information about early detection and prevention.

Question: When was ASTRO founded and what is its mission?

My cousin Michael and I founded ASTRO in 2014. Our mission is to champion equity among diverse populations by innovating health-promoting programs that improve the way people live, learn, work, and play.

Q: On Oct. 5, the Social Enterprise Greenhouse announced that it was providing ASTRO with a $25,000 loan. What will you use the money for?

Funds acquired through this loan will provide working capital for ASTRO to expand our operations and offer day care services to adult populations. We originally started out in adult services, but the community need that took precedence was providing a safe place for kids to be during the out-of-school time, and this is where we have focused the majority of our efforts over the years.

Now that many adults have been displaced from their day programs due to COVID-19 restrictions on numbers, there

Fitbit Versa 3 review: GPS sports watch and ultimate health tracker for $230 Review

Last year I tested the Fitbit Versa 2 and kept going back to using it because of the 24/7 activity tracking capability. With no integrated GPS, I had to run with another watch to track my running and cycling.

While the Fitbit Sense offers integrated GPS, it’s priced at $330 and brings the EDA sensor too. If you want a more affordable watch and don’t need to capture ECG data, then you should consider the Fitbit Versa 3.

I recently tried out the Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 3 Google Wear OS smartwatch and it is a solid wearable. However, Google continues to put forth little effort to develop and improve Wear OS while Fitbit is working hard to offer a consolidated and powerful experience with its wearables. Later this year we will see support for Google Assistant and support for calling right on the Versa 3 itself. These functions will nearly

On Wednesday 7 October, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced in parliament that action was needed now in order to prevent a return to the peak level of Covid-19 infections that Scotland experienced in the spring.

Ms Sturgeon outlined a number of rules for the country, with hospitality venues instructed to close at 6pm.

However, the central belt of Scotland was issued with even stricter measures due to “higher levels of infection” and all licensed pubs and restaurants in five health boards must close for 16 days.
