Pdont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Peliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Pdont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Pif you had a spinal injection while on eliquis pcall your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. Pwhile taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. Pand it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Pseek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Peliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Ptell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. V eliquis treats dvt pe blood clots.

Reporter the trend so alarming the World Health Organization issued a dire warning that more than 1 billion teens and young adults are at risk for hearing loss from listening to music too loudly. Back in the day, wed wear our earphones over the year. Now the ear buds sit here inside the inner canal. They can play all day at a much higher volume. And all of the noise causes damage. Reporter the damage happens when sound travels from the ear buds deep inside your ear to the cochlea where some 20,000 hair cells transmit sound to the brain. If its too loud for too long it ca damage those cells or, worse, cause them to die off. Most people associate hearing loss with elderly.

Foods you can replace to take a bite out of Certain Health risks. Fist up, high Blood Pressure. 70 million americans have it. Today joy bauer has things to lower your number without medication. Good morning. Good morning, willie. We all know the term high Blood Pressure. Im not sure we know what it means. Why is it important to keep it low . High Blood Pressure is a dangerous condition when the force of the blood traveling through the body is so intense it damages the arterial walls. You know, you can imagine the statistics, more than 30 of amwericans hav e it. If anybody is watching and they dont know the numbers, go to the doctor. How do i know when i have it . When you have it, youre diagnosed with a number greater than 120 80. Wheven if it is a little bit over the number and you have hypertension you have to jump into action. What are some things we can do to drive it down. I want to show you quickly what it looks like. This is alarming. This is a healthy artery. The healthy artery, as you can see no . We dont have it. You can describe it though. Well paint the picture in our mind. The blood is flowing nice and smoothly right through. When you have chronic high Blood Pressure you get all sorts of stiffening of the outer walls but you have the same volume going through. So you have intense pressure. The good news is a lot of stuff you can do to bring your numbers down. First, minimize salt intake. Salt draws in water which is going to increase the blood volume. Next what people dont realize is you have to eat potassiumrich foods to drive down the numbers. You want to lose weight, even by losing just 5 pounds you can dramatically lower the numbers. You want to stop smoking, of course. Exercise, reduce stress and moderate your drinking. All of these things play a huge role in lowering or elevating numbers. Youre so good at the swaps. Bringing in healthy foods. Lets think about Blood Pressure starting with Peanut Butter jelly. This is the easiest swap. We love a Peanut Butter jelly sandwich. Instead of Peanut Butter jelly switch to Peanut Butter and sliced banana. Heres why. Bananas are loaded with potassium. We have a lot of research that shows potassium can offset the ill effects of sodium and help keep the artery walls more elastic and less stiff. Simple swap with a big result. And it taes good. Our kids love them. You get fiber as well. Last days of barbecue season. People love a hot dog. Whether at the ballpark or a cookout, instead of a hot dog with sauerkraut, mustard and relish, go for a burger with lettuce, tomato, a squirt of ketchup on a bun. Heres why. This hot dog has more than 1,000 milligrams of sodium. If you hold the pickle, only 600 milligrams. You are always better with a burger versus a hot dog. Sodium isnt good for Blood Pressure. It increases the volume. It will elevate your numbers. Okay. Lets go to oatmeal. What am i doing wrong . Instead of putting on sugar, instead slice the amount of sugar in half and fill in with cocoa powder. Cocoa powder is 100 dark chocolate. You have heard dark chocolate can keep your arteries elastic and drive down the numbers and you can eat chocolate in the morning. Not giving up much. If you would have put on two tablespoons of sugar on, put one tablespoon and then one tablespoon of cocoa powder. Its delicious. Im going to eat that in a second. These are great tips for a problem a lot of people suffer from. Tomorrow, well have something to reduce your risk for tie beets. Savannah . We have renee brown here.

Through Extensive Research author renee brown zeroed in on four key principles and what it takes to get back up after a fall. The best way to describe worthiness is i am enough. The practical part of making worthiness work is practice. Its like its not an attitude. Its not a one i wish it was a one time effort where youre like, oh, i totally get what shes saying, i am worthy. It doesnt happen like that. Its like a street fight every day. If you put shame in a petri dish and douse it with secrecy, silent and judgment it grows exponentially. Put shame in a dish and douse it with empathy, it cant survive. Vulnerability is uncertainty, risk and emotional exposure. Most of us were raised to mitigate risk, uncertainty and emotional exposure. Vulnerability is weakness. Wake up in the morning, get tough, suck it up, push through, soldier on. But that armor is really heavy. It prevents people from knowing us and seeing us which is our deepest human yearning is to be known and seen and to know love and belonging. I think we are afraid because it means we risk being hurt. Your willingness to show up, try and let people know you care about something when you dont even know what the outcome will be, thats courage. Renee browns new book is called rising strong, the reckoning, the rumble, the revolution. Why do you think this caught on so much . I have been doing research for 13 years. I think we are tired of being afraid. People want to be brave. We want to show up, be seen, try new things though its a hyper critical, unforgiving world. I think we are ready to be brave. We have brave folks on the plaza who tweeted or asked questions. Our first comes from colleen who is in the plaza. Good morning. Whats your question . Good morning. I was wondering what do you do or say to your child to encourage them to be their best for trying out for a team . Thats a good question. Like if they are afraid, like i dont know if i can make it. For kids especially reframe the trying part as the brave part. We are such a, are we going to make the team. But reframe it as your willingness to go out for something you care about and let everybody know youre excited is the courageous part. Put yourself out there. Sometimes we have to check the story about who they are. We make up huge stories about im not good enough, not strong enough, not athletic enough. We have to help them reality check those. Those stories are the way we protect ourselves. Its really in the trying, in the going for it. In showing up. Michelle on the plaza has a question for brene. Go ahead. What are some things you have struggled with and are those things what inspired you to write your book . Good question. Good question. Yeah. Of course. Putting work out into the world. For me a book, but not just that. Trying to make a contribution in a hyper critical world, you stay afraid all the time. Dont look at comments. So for me, i want to live a brave life. If you are brave enough often enough, youre going to fall. I thought, this is not a book for people who have fallen but people who are brave enough to try. The name of it, rising strong. We have a twitter question from lauren bowmap. How do we not shut down after sharing feelings about pain and being told to be more positive. Thats the worst. It is. You can understand why someone may say to be more positive but it makes you feel like, why did i share at all. When people say, be more positive they are saying im not in. We have to choose carefully and share our stories of struggle with people who earned the right to hear them. Also have the courage to ask for what we need. If i sit down with you i say, im really struggling at work. I need you to listen. I just need to know im not alone. Ask for what we need. Maybe its a relief for the listener. They know they are not on the hook to supply an answer. Last one from sue on twitter. Talk about using perspective to shame ourselves. I. E. , i will keep my story quiet because its not as bad as we start rank ordering how bad everyones story is. That comes from a place of believing empathy and compassion are finite. If i give you a slice i only have this much to give. Empathy is infinite. Just because im thinking i dont want to ask for help around my divorce because this person has a sick child. We have enough to go around. Compassion is infinite. The giving of compassion is something thats beneficial to everybody. Yeah. Including the giver. Great to have you here. Thank you so much. The book is rising strong. Up next, four vaccines you probably dont know your kids need as the school year begins. First, this is today on nbc. We are back at 8 41. This morning on fuel for school, four vaccines you may not know your kids need this fall. Dr. Natalie azar has Important Information for parents. Good to see you. Good morning. Good morning. Its that time. Everybody is going back to school. The first important vaccine is for bacterial meningitis. Which kids should get it at what ages . These are recommendations that are the latest from the cdc. First we are talking about the vaccine against a bacteria that can cause an infection in the brain. Fist dose around 11 to 12. Then a booster shot at 16. To confer that immune any through the college age group. More importantly, this year you may remember from a year ago we had outbreaks in princeton of a new sero group of meningitis b not covered by the quadrivalent we are recommending now. If there is an outbreak in your area and you are at risk your child can receive the new vaccine that will confer immunity to serogroup b. Start at 11 or 12. If you dont get the meningitis vaccine until 16 or 17 you dont need a booster. To one thats gotten attention, the hpv. A recent study found only 60 of girls and 40 of boys get one dose of the hpv vaccine. Why is this important . This is an important one that they are only getting one dose. It is three shots. They need to be given at month 0, two and six. If you dont do the series of three you are not going to have full immunity. The vaccine is recommended for children as young as 9 but generally around age 11 to 12. This is so important to protect against cervical cancer. The new one as well as the vulva, anal area. Very important. In the last six months or so, i think in december of 2014, the fda approved a new gardisil which is gardisil 9 which the strains, oral lesions and genital warts we are conferring immune if i for more strains causing cervical cancer. This wasnt around for a lot of people. Is it too late for adults . For women up to and including the age of 26. For men up to and including 21. To the next one. Tdap. What does it protect against . The tdap is tetanus, diphtheria and per us the tussis. We know our children get these starting at age 2. They get five of those. Around 11 or 12 the cdc is recommending the kids get a booster shot of the three vaccines all in one called the tdap. Another Important Group you say should get the shot as well. Pregnant women. As i mentioned a newborn infant cannot get the series until 2 months. They have to get quite a few before they have immunity. If you are pregnant you should get this to protect your newborn child and other ifs you have exposure to them. One more here. The seasonalle flu vaccine. Is it too early . Its already available. I generally recommend to patients to wait a little bit until mid to late september, early october. You want that immunity to last through the flu season which can go as long as may. Generally once you get the flu vaccine it takes two weeks to build up antibodies and it should last throughout the flu sb season. And there is a flu vaccine on the horizon that can be taken as a pill . They completed the phase 1 study. They are talking about universal flu vaccine which can, i would say, mutate along with the mutation to maintain immunity. Last year we had difficulty with the vaccine. Good reminder. Dr. Azar, good to see you. Thank you. Siri is grilling fresh vegetables for a pasta dish you have to try. First, this is today on nbc. Mmmmmm yoplait oh there is now 25 less sugar in yoplait original. Say adieu to that sugar. Because it still tastes good ahhhh yoplait all right. Welcome back, everybody. This morning on today food putting the bounty of the season to good use. Siri pinter is here. Shes of siriously delicious. Com and has an original today. Good morning. These are summer dishes while we can still make them. Exactly. Its a hundred degrees out still. Summer might feel over but its not. This is a really light vegetable pasta dish. Lets look at the ingredients on the grid. We have corn, green beans, olive oil, whole wheat spaghetti which i cook with all the time. Salt and pepper, chives and feta cheese. Love it. Start grilling. I let carson do the big grilling but vegetables i can handle. Well drizzle this with olive oil, not a lot. I will brush it so it evenly gets all over the corn. Okay. Then well throw it on the grill. Grill the corn. Its so sweet and delicious you dont miss the butter. When i boil corn a couple of minutes. A couple minutes per side and you get beautiful char marks. It looks so good. Its so easy. Anybody can do that. Thats my kind of grilling. Mine, too. No temperatures, dont worry about cooking meat. Next well to green beans. These fall into the grate, so you have a wonderful fwril grilling basket. This has olive oil, salt and pepper. Throw it in the grill basket. You drizzled the oil. Not too much. Too much olive oil on the flames can flare up. Well take this over. And throw that on. While those cook, why dont you toss those around a little bit. I will grab the corn. Show you a little trick. We have the taste testers there. Im just cooking, guys. So good. Really good. Im the griller. How am i doing . Youre doing great. Havent burned down the joint yet. I havent. You need the grilling flavor in the corn. It goes with the wheat pasta. Delicious. Those are cooking. Well cut it over the bowl. That way the kernels its hot so im using a towel. The kernels fall into the bowl. Easy. If you dont have corn, you can use squash, asparagus, zucchini, broccoli. Any vegetables. Do two, three. Anything you want. Next, we are going to throw in look how great the grill marks are. How long do you do them . Six or seven minutes. Feta cheese. You could use mozzarella. No the fetas good. Its salty. Okay. Chives and take the whole wheat pasta. You say you like the wheat pasta. Why . Its healthier . Healthier. Makes me feel better about serving pasta every night to the kids. Theyre picky eaters. The most important thing is to save a little bit of pasta water. That starchy water just almost creates its own sauce and binds everything together. You pour it over the top. Exactly. Toss it up and just one ladle. About a fourth cup. You dont need butter, cream. This is seasoned, ready to rock. You dont need anything. What do you think . Smile, let me take a picture for your mom. I actually like the wheat pasta better than the regular pasta. I like the flavor, texture. Absorbs the sauce better. Did the feta melt . No. Its softer and good. You tonight need salt, pepper or anything. Its good. If you wanted to put protein you could grill up chicken. Exactly. Over to you, carson. Right. Do some man grilling. Siri, thank sos much. Check out the recipe on today. Com food. First, this is today on nbc. Caring about the things that make each of our clients unique. Thats what makes Riverspring Health unique. All right.

[ cheers and applause ] announcer from n news, this is todays take, with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist and tamron hall, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Welcome to today on a little bit of a muggy monday morning. August 31, 2015. Its a little bit mug by the here. Im willie with natalie. Tamron is on assignment. Al has the morning off so dylan is cohosting with us. I sold it. I believe it. I know. You picked the morning jam. What are we reasoning to . Run away, bruno mars. It was a song that stuck with me. He was on the vmas last night. Won an early award. Which brings us ts a busy night. Every morning we wake up to an email from the overnight producer pete green who catches us up on what we missed overnight. Heres what the email said. Taylor swift and nicki minaj are no longer feuding. Nicki minaj and miley cyrus definitely are feuding. Justin bieber cried and kanye is running for president in 2020. Thats pretty much it. Thats our note from pete. A little bit of news there, too. Yes. Lets walk you through it. Taylor swift, the nights big winner won four awards including video of the year for bad blood. Everybody is talking about the video vanguard award she presented to kanye west. The two reunited after kanye fay lousily interrupted her speech in 2009 with the imma let you finish moment. Look what kanye had to say last night about the infamous runin with taylor on stage. And i often think back to the first day i met you also. I think about when im in the Grocery Store with my daughter and i have a really great conversation about fresh juice. At the end they say, oh, youre not thatread after all. I just love that he had a conversation about fresh juice in Grocery Stores. Do you think kim ever gets hate he got after that moment. I go to a baseball game and 50,0us people boo me on screen. He was explaining. Because of the taylor swift moment. In his own special way he was explaining that. Then at the very end of the speech, kanye spoke about big future plans. Its about ideas, bro. New ideas. People with ideas. People with believe in truth. And, yes, as you probably could have guessed by this moment, i have decided in 2020 to run for president. I kind of believe him. I kind of believe hes going to do it. He said you could have guessed like the whole speech was president ial. Its pretty obvious. I think you can tell, im running for president. With kanye president and kim as the first lady. Oh, my gosh. And trump running for reelection so trump against kanye. Unbelievable. I cant wait. I thought this election cycle was exciting. Next time, wow. Justin bieber made his comeback, hovering over the audience as part of the aerial act. At the end of the performance he actually cried as the song what do you mean came to an end. Justin coming back. I think its been five years since he performed there. Some people comparing the new hair style which he rolled out on the red carpet to Kate Gosselins early style. Himself, right . He did. He put it on instagram. Is that what he asked for when he went to the barber . Give me the gosselin. Its pretty dead on. It is. I think we all saw this moment coming when taylor swift and nicki minaj had a beef online anh d made up. Lets watch the vmas. Sure enough, they delivered. Nicki minaj gave her performance with taylor swift to bury the hatchet. After nicki minaj won best hiphop video she had this exchange with miley cyrus. And now back to this [ bleep ] that had a lot to say about me the other day in the press. Miley, whats good . Hey. Were all in this industry. We all do interviews. We all know how they manipulate [ bleep ]. Congratulations. Just because the vmas have already started doesn mean the voting the done. Wow. They cut off her mic. Enough of that. Miley was hosting the show. I guess she was critical in the New York Times of nicki minaj. Hard to have a serious conversation when youre wearing that. How many outfit changes . Ten costume changes. Im told she had ten. And wardrobe malfunctions in between, too. A was there a slip . There was. I dont know. Think it was meant to be that way. Quite a night. She was perfectly happy with it. Looks good on her. How many of you when you go on vacation end up being the person who takes the pictures . I just got back from vacation. Im the family photographer. My kids are like, enough, mom. Not another picture. Apparently one of the new vacation trends could be that. Hiring a photographer professional photographer. Shoot my travel, for example, one Agency Charges 250 for a twohour photo session and a tour. This is based in miami. If you say well go to a beach location in miami a photographer gives you a tour of the area and you also get the photos included. I like that they take picture sos you dont have to keep posing. They capture moments you wouldnt get. Thats the idea. Everybody is posting vacation photos online on social media. They feel if its not on social media then the vacation didnt happen. As one person is quot ched. Apanparently thats the theory. Commentary. Th exactly. El camino is another travel agency including a personal otographer to document the trip. Whwien you buy a trip to colombia or nicaragua, i was on vacation in hatteras, north carolina, i took all the photos. So at the end i was looking through and thought there is not a single shot of me. So, okay. Im taking my own selfie. These are my feet in the sand. There you go. I was on vacation. Theres a good one. Josh, get in here. I hate selfies. When you get the guy, hes on vacation with you . He just shows up to whatever location. Oh, thought he was in the hotel room with you. Now pose. The. Easy, pal. Heres another topic i thought was interesting. Food network. Com interviewed chefs and learned 25 things chefs will never tell you. We picked some of our favorites. First of all, chefs hate picky eaters. 60 said requests for substitutions are annoying. When eating out in oh restaurants chefs avoid pasta and chicken because those are usually the most over priced. Theyre so easy to make. Go with the special. Thats what tcey are trying its fresh, different. This is gross. I have thought about it living in new york. Roaches are more common han you think. 75 of chefs say they have seen roaches in the kitchen. I guess its food. Mice. Not just roaches. I believe it. Enjoy going out to dinner. 13 of chefs have seen a cook do unappetizing things to a customers food. Its lower than i thought it would be. Im glad its 13 . Yes keep it down there. I think they are not telling the truth on that. Theyre not willing to rat out chefs. The other one goes back to the chefs not doi whng things to your food, but three chefs admitted uneaten bread from one basket g s right into another. That doesnat bother me much. You dont know if they touched it. But how do you know. Dont want to throw out delicious food. Man handled bread. Cheaper. Half off. Gently used bread. I will take the croutons. Al is off today. Dylan is doing the weather. Yes. We have quite a lot of rain moving into florida, thanks to the remnants of erika. Most of it is just offshore now. We are going to see that fill in.

Could be an isolated shower or thunderstorms west and north of the city late afternoon, early evening. Another muggy night tonight.

You can keep it casual with us. We like it. Lets talk about the movie. Clearly there is a shortage of tennis. And movies in the theaters that are fun to watch that have a point, that are poignant about family, people can relate to. They dont put these movies in theaters anymore. Its important people see it so more movies like this come out and we dont have to watch superheroes all the time. Superheroes are great. But if you see this, more will come out. One of the things you worry about is the actors wont really be able to perform the sport, not convincing. You guys played and youre good. Are you a big tennis player .

You guys model your games after anybody well see this week . He modeled his after arthur ashee and mine was john mcenroe. I can see the swagger.

Good morning with ingredients like roasted hazelnuts and cocoa, nutella gives you so many delicious options every morning. Send them to school smiling with nutella, spread the happy from the rumbling in your tummy and the cracking of joints. To hiccups, burping and noises only you can hear, your body is a symphony of strange sounds. Yahoo has a list of the noises and here to explain them and let us know when there is cause for concern dr. Azar joins us again. The body makes lots of sounds. Sure does. When should you be concerned . Should you listen to what its trying to tell us . First is stomach rumbling. Thats a normal sound. Its a bowel sound. This isnt abnormal. Embarrassing though. It is the sound the body gives off when food and air and gas is moving and liquid is moving through the intestines. Its not coming from the stomach. If youre concerned see your doctor. Any abnormal sounds you think you hear associated with abdominal pain, fever, blood or mucus in the stool, could it be a sign of something serious, have that evaluated. Does that mean youre hungry . It sends a reflex to the brain. Cracking joints. This is a tough one. Two different things. People who crack their knuckles, pulling knuckles apart as opposed to bending down and hearing the pop. With the joint cracking we think it has to do with the fact that you pull, the joints are like this. You pull bones apart, a gas cavity forms. Put them together and the fluid rushes back in. Thats the pop. Its not dangerous. We dont believe it leads to accelerated arthritis. One thing i should tell everybody is any of the popping or cracking is associated with pain, stiffness, swelling or redness, see a doctor. Make sure you tonight have arthritis. Next, hiccups and the old wives tale that its a sign youre growing. Oh, you know that. Zero idea. Me, too. Hiccups come from an involuntary contraction meaning you have no control over it of the diaphragm which is the muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity and then your vocal cords close suddenly.
