AMERICAN HEART MONTHDear Campus Community,
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and
women. The good news? Heart disease can often be prevented
when people make healthy choices and manage their health
conditions.
You can make healthy changes to lower your risk of developing
heart disease. Controlling and preventing risk factors is also
important for people who already have heart disease. Make a
difference! Spread the word about strategies for preventing heart
disease and encourage people to live heart healthy lives. To lower
the risk:
-Watch your weight.
-Quit smoking and stay away from secondhand smoke.
-Control your cholesterol and blood pressure.
-If you drink alcohol, drink only in moderation.
-Get active and eat healthy.
Sincerely,
Mark Bonk
