Washington DC City Council member @CMBrookePinto introduced the 2023 Vehicular #Noise Reduction Act to create a #noisecamera pilot program, subsidies for vehicle-repair costs, and a study on how to reduce #vehicularnoise⏳ @pvdcitycouncil @JohnGPVD lims.dccouncil.gov/Legislation/B2…
“The #VehicularNoise Reduction Act would create a two-year pilot program to use a combination of #noise-detection devices, video cameras, and automated ticketing to hopefully cut down on vehicles with purposely loud or bad mufflers on DC roads.” @PVDMayor dcist.com/story/23/01/19…
Washington DC ‘Gets’ It: City Councilmember @CMBrookePinto says that “excessive #noise from revving engines and other #roadnoise is a quality-of-life issue that can alter sleep; disrupt business, educational, and social settings; and create stress.” @pvdcitycouncil @PVDMayor 👂⚠️
“The honking of horns and revving of engines doesn’t just affect those in the vehicles — it can also raise the #bloodpressure of people living near the road.” #trafficnoise #noisekills @CityofProv @PVDMayor @PVDCityCouncil @HealthyPVD @Brown_SPH @RIHealth cnn.com/2023/03/22/hea…
“Previous research had shown a connection between road #trafficnoise and an increased risk of #hypertension (#highbloodpressure), but it was still unclear whether it was the #noise or the pollution from the traffic that was the cause. Now, researchers say they have the evidence.”
“The results ... surprised researchers. People living near road #trafficnoise were not only more likely to develop #highbloodpressure, but the risk of this outcome increased with the ‘dose’ of #noise, even when researchers adjusted for fine particles and nitrogen dioxide.”

Been tumbling down the rabbit hole of fucoidan — a sulphated polysaccharide fiber derived from brown seaweeds. Loads of studies but mostly using cell lines and animals. However, results are astonishing. Seems to be the cure for everything short of death.
Fucoidan upregulates PGC-1 alpha and sirtuins. This means it boosts mitochondrial health, boosts antioxidant production like glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and catalase. And PGC-1 alpha stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis. So you make more mitochondria
This can help to protect against toxicity from multiple sources. mdpi.com/1660-3397/17/9…

@DrJCheungEP @Dr_Mike_Fradley (2/12) #AFibAwareness #Tweetorial: Normally, the human ❤ pumps >100k heartbeats each day. If you have #AFib, the ❤ doesn’t always beat the way it should.
