#DYK? Women are more directly involved in combat operations today than ever before, yet they continue to be underrepresented in military research. In a recent study, Traumatic Brain Injury Center of Excellence researchers from Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton, Naval Medical Center San Diego, and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center along with National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICoE) researchers, looked at the effects of gender on mild #TBI symptoms and the role of post-traumatic stress disorder on symptom reporting. Learn about their findings in the Journal of Neurotrauma here: https://lnkd.in/gUh2mYMC #MilitaryMedicine | #TBICOE | #Research

●You would die for your family, but will you live for them? ●You will sacrifice your life for them, will you sacrifice you time and effort so you can be there for them a year from now, 20, 30? ●Time is limited and valuable. Will you miss some of your kid's games, dance competitions, etc to maintain your fitness so you won't miss their graduations, weddings, births of grandkids and everything else that follows a preventable early death? ●Do you have the discipline to pass up the momentary enjoyment of terrible meals to avoid a future of debilitating disease? ●Law enforcement officers are plagued by heart disease and the future looks even worse, as average fitness levels decline and obesity rates, even among young officers skyrocket. ●Even fit officers are vulnerable to adverse coronary events (although their survival rates and recovery are far better than their unfit colleges). ●Most heart related events don't happen, they develop over many years and early intervention can change the future. ●I survived a coronary artery dissection and widow maker heart attack because I went into it extremely fit. I am thriving now because I took control of my future, but it was a battle every day to make tiny improvements. I survived, but surviving an event isn't a given, nor is your recovery. Prevention is key. ☆Live for your loved ones. Live for yourself. Get screened, get fit, eat well, detect problems early and develop strategies to counter any issues they find.

One of the board members of POVAT shared awhile back that if it can happen to Will Markham, it can happen to any Veteran. Learn what POVAT is doing to help referred Veterans get what they have earned and deserve. A 7 minute questionnaire by a 3rd party concluded he was healed and caused a spiral of events in Will's life. Learn how they fought back and won! No high fives as a celebratory win but instead the Founders created POVAT to help Brothers and Sisters who wore the uniform. Consider POVAT during May as it is Mental Health Awareness month and/or during Armed Forces day (May 18th). Why do we have Armed Forces Day? So folks like me (civilians) and you can show your support for Active, Cadets and Veterans. #armedforcesday #civilianshelpingveterans #mentalhealth Why help? High probability your help will help in saving a life and at the end of day because it is the right thing to do!
