President’s Message
from page 1
holidays and manageable revelry.
The word February itself is born from
the Latin word Februarius, from Latin
februare meaning to “purify” or “expiate.”
In ancient Rome, Februarius was the
“Month of Purification” and great festivities
were held to reestablish the empire’s focus
on righteous living.
Keeping with this spirit of righteous living,
our February newsletter “Goes Red” in
recognition of Heart Health Awareness
Month. We cannot be reminded often
enough that heart disease is the number
one cause of death. Attention to a few items
can make a huge difference in our quality
of life. The American Heart Association’s
refers to these as the “Simple Seven”:
1. Get active
Thirty minutes of moderate physical activity
each day (like brisk walking), five times per
week, can almost guarantee a healthier and
more satisfying life while lowering your risks
for heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
2. Control cholesterol
When you control your cholesterol, you are
giving your arteries their best chance to remain
clear of blockages. These blockages
lead to heart disease and stroke.
3. Eat better
Healthy foods are the fuel our bodies use to
make new cells and create the energy we
need to thrive and fight diseases. If you are
frequently skipping out on veggies, fruit, lowfat
dairy, fiber-rich whole grains, and lean
meats, including fish, your body is missing
the basic building blocks for a healthy life.
4. Manage blood pressure
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension,
means the blood running through
your arteries flows with too much force and
puts pressure on your arteries, stretching
them past their healthy limit.
5. Lose weight
If you have too much fat – especially if a lot
of it is at your waist – you are at higher risk
for health problems such as high blood
pressure, high blood cholesterol and diabetes.
Even losing as few as five or ten
pounds can produce a dramatic blood pressure
reduction.
6. Reduce blood sugar
Most of the food we eat is turned into glucontinued
