>> this is part of the trip that the p has made. he was recently in colorado talking about the same thing. things that he thinks matter to constituents there. worried about pay, about the economy. he is taking them out to dinner and trying to show that he cares about the issues. things that, you know, ukraine and gaza, etc. he risks looking a little bit disengaged. he is appearing with regular people showing that he cares about regular people. the number one thing that americans care about. >> and that is why the president is going make this economic spooch. >> absolutely. he wants to keep that at the forefro forefront. talk about jobs and manufacturing.

wintertime you don't. we have sunlight in the wintertime. the hour of intensity is just different. now because our days are long between 10:00 and 4:00, but in the winter it's 10:00 to 2:00. so you have to wear itar ye round. there is no recommendation. you find yourself red. >> it denaturizes it. it breaks it down. so just -- every two hours there are some out there with proprietary formulations that will allow a five hour before reapplication. but just to be on the safe side, we recommend every two hours.

so you smell citrusy. so any of the type of repellents, they tend to repel mosquitos. >> i like the natural repellent ideas. is there a time when you need something stronger? >> not necessarily. in most of the products in the u.s., it uses an ingredient called deet. so that is in standard in most of the bug repellents. you can go the natural way. you can use citronel or lime type products. >> and mosquitos carry diseases. >> they do. for humans and animals. for humans it's mainly the west nile virus. every summer we hear of different cases being discovered and diagnosed along the eastern coast, northeast down as far as north carolina, south carolina. so we have to be aware of that.

>> it's too hot. it's too cold. i'm too tired. >> but a study out today from the journal of the american college of cardiology shows you only need a few minutes a day to get significant heart health benefits. >> running one to two times a week, less than an hour a week was still producing very substantial reductions in cardiovascular mortality. >> researchers studied over a 15 year period and found ten or as little as five minutes a day can reduce your risk of dying from cardiovascular disease by approximately 45%. >> sometimes i don't have the 30 minutes or two hours like i wish i could work out so that's very encouraging. >> but jogging isn't for

everyone. if you can't run, walk. even during the workday. doctors say just getting up from your desk is a great first step to get you moving and there are lots of devices like this pedommer the to help you keep track of your steps. >> it's easier than you think. a moderately active person racks up about 7500 steps a day which is about 3.25 miles. >> this study backs up the important message that she gives her patients. >> just five minutes and what a pay off. this is someone who runs hours.
