The Cats - Little Sheila, Elsa and Jackson Monroe, along with the dog, Big Sheila - were left in the dust.

Observations in the CM archives shared for a smile A friend took time to share: "As I did my usual morning perambulation through Columbia Magazine's 5-and 10-years-ago links, my eye snagged on this headline from a half-decade ago: "Nuisance Committee to meet, Wed 30 Jan 2019." "Having served on several committees too many in a past life or two, my first thought, quite unbidden, was "'Nuisance committee' -- now there's a world class redundancy!" Off here now to go stumble through the rest of the day as I contemplate the nuance of nuisance committees..." 2024-02-01 09:28:55 | Comments | Printable version

February is American Heart Month From Jeff Neagle, Communications Specialist Lake Cumberland District Health Department Along with Valentine's Day, February marks American Heart Month, a great time to commit to a healthy lifestyle and make small changes that can lead to a lifetime of heart health and encourage families, friends and communities to become involved. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women, accounting for 1 in 4 deaths in the United States. Nearly half of Americans have at least one risk factor for heart disease, such as high blood pressure, obesity, physical inactivity, or an unhealthy diet. Risk also increases with age. The good news is that individuals of all ages can reduce their risk for heart disease by making lifestyle changes and managing medical conditions through appropriate treatment plans. With a record number of young adults living at home or in close contact with older relatives, they have a golden opportunity to encourage parents and other family members to make heart-healthy changes and offer support along the way. Small Changes Can Make a Big Difference Start by taking some small steps, and encouraging others to do so, during the month of February and beyond to improve heart health. Here are some examples of healthy heart behaviors: Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2024-02-01 07:22:45 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Health Care
