CELEBRATE HEALTHY<br />
HEARTS<br />
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,1 approximately<br />
610,000 people die of heart disease in the United States every year.<br />
Nearly 735,000 Americans have a heart attack each year. Did you know that<br />
you can support heart health with some simple diet and lifestyle changes?<br />
Healthy Fats for a Healthy Heart?<br />
Inflammation in the body can damage your blood vessels and lead to<br />
heart disease and strokes. Omega-3 fatty acids not only reduce inflammation,<br />
but are essential for maintaining cell membrane health. Please note<br />
that all Omega 3s are not created equal! Be aware that some “cheaper”<br />
Omega 3 fish oil supplements may in fact be derived from “farm raised”<br />
fish which has a very different fatty acid profile which can actually increase<br />
inflammation! We only carry from the most reputable suppliers!<br />
This month we are spotlighting Wholemega, a 100 percent wild-caught<br />
Alaskan salmon sourced oil. In human clinical trials, Wholemega decreased<br />
arachidonic acid, a primary marker for inflammation, as well as C Reactive<br />
Protein which is a key marker for cardiovascular health, reduction in LDL<br />
(bad cholesterol), triglycerides, and total cholesterol. Taking Wholemega<br />
every day for a week provides the same amount of Omega 3 fatty acids as eating<br />
3 servings of Wild Alaskan Salmon! Your heart and brain will love it!<br />
Looking for a natural but effective way to support healthy cholesterol<br />
levels? Try Bergamot, clinically-proven to not only dampen inflammation<br />
but improve arterial health while improving those important cardio<br />
markers such as total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglyceride levels!<br />
“I’ve been taking Bergamot from The Natural Alternative for almost 2 months<br />
and my total cholesterol dropped from 270 to 212! NP”. This is a “star” supplement<br />
for heart health!<br />
Diet for a Happy Heart<br />
Super foods that support a healthy heart include dark green leafy veggies,<br />
dark chocolate, berries, aged garlic and turmeric. Stop by The Natural<br />
Alternative for the highest quality turmeric, aged garlic, dark chocolate, as<br />
well as your heart healthy supplements!<br />

can identify a good strategy that will lead to an<br />
acceptable solution. Similar to the puzzle master’s<br />
advice, I believe that CTE is a key piece<br />
of the educational quest for student success. As<br />
we face an ever-changing world, it is important<br />
to explore avenues that present multiple paths<br />
for student success. CTE curriculum strives<br />
to pair academics and high-level workplace<br />
skills necessary for the 21st century. Students,<br />
administrators, teachers, business members,<br />
community leaders and even politicians have<br />
endorsed CTE programs. The San Luis Obispo<br />
County Office of Education (SLOCOE) and<br />
our CTE program, SLO Partners in Education<br />
(SLOPE) continues to engage in discussions<br />
and review research related to reporting on<br />
several additional career measurements. SLO<br />
Partners’ mission is to engage business partners<br />
and educators in aligning workforce needs<br />
with career and college pathways. We facilitate<br />
work experience opportunities to ensure that<br />
students have the skills and knowledge necessary<br />
for success in the workplace and businesses<br />
have the skilled workers required for a sound<br />
growing economy. We continue to work on industry<br />
certification such as our highly successful<br />
CompTIA Bootcamps.<br />
SLO Partners is a regional consortium of<br />
business, industry, education, and community<br />
leaders committed to working together for<br />
collective impact in workforce and economic<br />
development by aligning education systems and<br />
employment programs with economic opportunities.<br />
As we continue to provide additional<br />
opportunities for our students in CTE, I encourage<br />
you to learn more about our highly successful<br />
partnership with Cuesta College, SLO<br />
Partners, our CTE programs, and these CTE<br />
opportunities benefiting our community. It is<br />
an honor to serve as your County Superintendent<br />
of Schools.<br />
