Health and Safety

February is American Heart Month and is designed to bring awareness to the risks associated with heart disease. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women.

• 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.
