As humans we are biologically programmed to be healthiest if we can accomplish these goals. There is no better way to accomplish this triple aim than to take a walk, jog or bike ride in a park. Exercising in a luscious green environment reduces stress hormones, blood pressure and cardiovascular events. Participating in community events in parks creates a shared sense of social connectedness that also reduces stress hormones and improves our health. Parks are a crucial ingredient to help us humans adapt to urban life. I Strongly support measure P as a public health initiative. "This is our opportunity to invest in ourselves, to produce huge collective benefits, for our health, for our reputation, for our competitive advantage, and for our underprivileged--all for only $3.25 per household per month. If you weigh the community benefits against the individual cost, it's a no brainer." “As a young professional and father of two, I believe that investing in the future of Fresno is of the utmost importance.
