Division Courthouse Suite 1 Stilwell, OK ashley.nicole.davis@okstate.edu February/March 2015 Inside this issue: There s more than love in the air during February Meet Your Educator Spring Cleaning Allergy Season OHCE News and Dates Recipe For many Americans, the month of February is all about the heart and its symbolism of love for one another. However, it also is a time to show yourself some love by learning about the risks of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke, in an effort to stay healthy. February is American Heart Month and this is the perfect time to focus on what people can do to help prevent CVD, said Janice Hermann, Oklahoma State University Cooperative Extension nutrition specialist. CVD is the number one killer of women and men in the United States, with an estimated 83.6 million American adults having one or more types of CVD, Hermann said. It s the leading cause of disability and prevents people from working and enjoying family activities. In addition, CVD costs more than $300 billion each year, including the cost of health care services, medications and lost productivity. Having a close family member who has heart disease puts you at a higher risk for CVD. Geographical location also plays a role. Death rates due to heart disease were highest in the south and lowest in the west. Another contributing factor is race and ethnicity. Nearly 44 percent of African American men and 48 percent of African American women have a form of CVD. They also are more likely than any other racial or ethnic group to have high blood pressure and develop CVD earlier in life. Many CVD deaths could have been prevented through healthier habits, healthier living spaces and better management of conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes, Hermann said. Fortunately there are steps you can take to help control the risk factors. There is no magic pill, so it s important to not become overwhelmed when trying to keep CVD under control. Some of the risk factors that you can control include diet, physical activity, tobacco use, obesity, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol and diabetes. As you look at the whole picture, keep in mind that every step you take in the right direction will bring you closer to a healthier heart. Hermann suggests taking a friend or family member on the journey with you. Find a partner to help you make good food choices and keep you on track for your exercise goals, she said. The journey is a lot more fun and usually more successful if you don t go it alone. And remember, it s important to not get discouraged. Take it one step at a time. You might want to start with changing your diet to incorporate healthier foods. After that, add in some exercise. This is a journey, not a race. Before making big changes in your lifestyle, it is important to get a health screening. A doctor, nurse or other health care professional can check for conditions that put you at risk for CVD. Surprisingly, some of the risk factors for CVD can go unnoticed for many years. This is why it is important to get a physical checkup before starting the journey. While many people focus on February as the month of love, focus on your heart health in an effort to become and stay healthy for years to come, Hermann said.
