{NAME}, I’ve got a dare for you!

This has a tremendous health-boosting effect on your heart. Plus, it’s just a lot of fun! [Dr. Steven Gundry | Founder, Gundry MD]( {NAME}, I've got a dare for you! Call a good friend or loved one today. Then when they pick up, start the conversation with these words: “Hi, I was thinking about you...” Why? Because it turns out, talking to people you care about has a tremendous healing effect on your heart AND your loved one's. And I don’t just mean your “heart” as in your emotional health (although it can definitely help with that too)... I mean your “heart” as in the actual organ that pumps blood throughout your body and keeps you alive! You see...  A major study published in the Journal of Hypertension revealed something profound: Interacting often with your friends lowers your blood pressure!1 In this study, scientists took 224 volunteers and examined the frequency of their social interactions alongside their blood pressure readings... And the people who interacted more with their loved ones had consistently lower blood pressure.2 (One of the key biomarkers for good health!) Now, it's hardly surprising that connecting with our loved ones is good for our health... But in today’s hectic world, it can be all too easy to lose track of this. So I figured today's email could serve as an important reminder to us all. (It certainly has for me. I called one of my daughters out of the blue this week. We both loved it!)) So pick up that phone and catch up with someone you care about. It might just give a timely pick-me-up to both of you! Looking out for you, Steven Gundry, MD [Steven Gundry, MD]( P.S. Why are you still here? Call your friend or loved one before it gets late! ;)  Sources 1. Troxel WM, Buysse DJ, Hall M, et. al.
