Yeah, or even with light activity, right?
Like if people are just walking around, but they actually are not tracking their steps or their movement, they're thinking, oh, I've been walking around.
I walked to the kitchen.
I went to my car.
I went there.
But then when you actually look at the data,
the average American in many instances is getting less than like 4,500 steps.
That's the number.
Which the CDC says is living a sedentary lifestyle.
So even many people who think they're walking around a bunch or are kind of active, sure, they wish they were more.
They actually, according to what you're talking about, are basically just sitting down all day and increasing the risk of heart disease.
Absolutely.
Okay, take us from there.
That's huge because what I'm hearing you say is that it's not just the stressful events, which we all have a certain amount of stress that's there, but it's not having active recovery from those stressful events that could be downtime.
For some people, that's yoga.
For some people, that's a walk and talk with some friends.
Even every few days, seeing somebody, having an outlet where you can get stuff off of your chest and talk to somebody and feel understood, get some insight, could be a Bible study group, right?
Could be a church community that somebody's part of.
Whatever it is, these are all things that help us recover and repair.
And when people don't have that, which usually means they don't have community, now you are fast tracking your path to cardiovascular disease.
