Jada Marie White

1

Hear my prayer, O LORD, Give ear to my supplications! In Your faithfulness answer me, And in Your righteousness. not enter into judgment with Your servant, For in Your sight no one living is righteous. 3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul; He has crushed my life to the ground; He has made me dwell in darkness, Like those who have long been dead. 4 Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me; My heart within me is distressed. 5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all Your works; I muse on the work of Your hands. 6 I spread out my hands to You; My soul longs for You like a thirsty land. 7 Answer me speedily, O LORD; My spirit fails! Do not hide Your face from me, Lest I be like those who go down into the pit. 8 Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You. 9 Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies; In You I take shelter. 10 Teach me to do Your will, For You are my God; Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness. 11 Revive me, O LORD, for Your name’s sake! For Your righteousness’ sake bring my soul out of trouble. 12 In Your mercy cut[f] off my enemies, And destroy all those who afflict my soul; For I am Your servant. 2 Do

3 Or

do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. 7 For he who has died has been freed from sin. 8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. 10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11 Likewise you also, [c]reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. 4 Therefore

Simple Moves To Prevent Blood Clots By Michael Gollust MEDICALLY REVIEWED IN JULY 2022

Blood clots can develop in many different parts of the body, and not all clots are medical emergencies. But when a clot form and travels from one part of the body to a vital organ (such as the brain or lungs) or when it develops within a vital organ, it can necessitate a trip to the ER. A deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot that forms in a vein deep within your body, usually in the lower legs or thighs. Sometimes, a DVT can break loose and travel to another part of the body. If it travels to the lungs, it can block an artery and cause a pulmonary embolism (PE), which is a medical emergency that can cause shortness of breath, symptoms similar to a heart attack and sometimes coughing up blood. While the exact number is unknown, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that about 900,000 people each year are diagnosed with a DVT or PE. Sitting and the risks of DVT and PE If you spend a lot of time sitting you could be at increased risk for dangerous clots. In fact, a term has been coined to describe the link between a very common phenomenon—sitting at a computer—and blood clots: “e-thrombosis” (thrombosis is the medical term for blood clot). According to a review of studies published in the journal Annals of Translational Medicine in 2018, sitting at a computer for more than eight hours per day may be associated with 1.8 times higher risk of blood clots. Increasing that time sitting to more than 10 hours per day may be associated with 2.8 times higher risk of blood clots. The good news is that there are things you can do in your daily life to help prevent dangerous blood clots. Let's get physical If you have a desk job or spend a lot of time sitting at a computer, remember to take a break and move every 30 minutes. When you’re sitting, you can improve blood flow to your lower legs by flexing and stretching your feet or tightening and releasing your leg muscles. If you’re in a wheelchair or you’re not able to move your legs, stretch your hamstrings or leg muscles and consider asking someone to help you move your legs. If you have to sit for longer than four hours, such as during an airplane flight, try to move around or stretch the muscles in your legs every 1 to 2 hours. Making a habit of regular exercise can also help by improving your circulation and strengthening your heart. To get started on staying active, try these tips: • Be choosy. Go with your strengths and choose physical activity you enjoy. • Start early. If you sometimes feel too tired to move, exercising earlier in the day, when your mind and body are still fresh, can help you get past that initial hurdle of getting started • Walking counts. It doesn’t require fancy gear, and can boost your energy and mood, all while strengthening your heart and body. • Move while you sit. You can be active while you’re in a chair. Getting more exercise not only benefits your overall health, it might also reduce your risk for a dangerous blood clot.

5 Simple Steps To Improve Circulation What does the shape of your hips or belly have to do with the health of your legs? Turns out, quite a bit. One study showed that during extended travel, pear-shaped women and apple-shaped men may have an increased risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) -- a dangerous clotting condition that often starts in the legs. But there are lots of things you can do about it. Go with the Flow If you suffer from poor circulation in your legs, try these simple healthy-leg strategies during long car, train, or plane rides, and reduce your risk of deep vein thrombosis: • Take a break. Get up, walk, and stretch your legs every hour or so if you can. If you have to remain seated, do ankle rolls, and alternately point and flex your toes 10 times every half hour. • Take a drink. Keep the nonalcoholic fluids -- water, tea, etc. -- flowing, because dehydration ups the risk of deep vein thrombosis. • Don't take a drag. Smoking is never good, and it increases the risk of blood clots. • Take it off. Your belt, that is. Avoid tight clothing, and don't cross your legs. They can inhibit blood flow and cause poor circulation. • Take a break. Give your legs a break by putting them up. It can help improve circulation in your lower limbs. Getting more exercise not only benefits your overall health, it might also reduce your risk for a dangerous blood clot.
