01:02 when you have blockages i
01:04 sclerosis, heart failure,
01:07 attack. It could be reall
01:09 during these high, high t
01:13 it's really important tha
01:15 doctor about whether or n
01:18 or an aspirin regimen, es
01:21 with these high heats. Ye

01:26 active getting out there
01:28 a big part and of course
01:32 the temperatures, what do
01:34 do we do with these tempe
01:36 and be active? It's so ha
01:40 it's so hot and it's so d
01:43 all I say is you've got t
