Is it the letter R? I don't get it.

R is a statistical measure of correlation. High R means two things are strongly correlated. Dropping the R value decreases the correlation.

R is also used to note US Republican politicians. Dropping the number of Rs in congress would also have a positive effect on health and wellness.
