Mississippi is rated among the highest in the nation with incidences of cardiovascular disease. Based off of this statistic, we believe it is vital to the health and well-being of our citizens to educate and encourage healthy lifestyles for our families and to increase awareness among the public about heart disease prevention. Our vision is a community where individuals live healthier and more productive lives because cardiovascular disease was prevented before it became a problem... a community where heart disease doesn t affect each and every one of us. Our vision is a community where individuals live healthier and more productive lives... Our Mission: To lead the fight against heart disease in our local community through education, prevention, and early detection. Our Goals: To promote and safeguard cardiovascular health for our community. To empower people through education. To encourage healthy lifestyles for our families. Like us on Facebook:

3 Health Tips The plank is one of the best moves for a hard core, even if it s not the most exciting abs exercise. It forces your core to brace against potentially spine-injuring motion like rotation, flexion, and extension. The stronger you are in a plank position, the more weight you ll be able to lift in every exercise. You don t need to completely eliminate dessert, indulge your sweet tooth in moderation. Try not to indulge immediately after dinner. Avoid sweets directly after a meal since sugar disrupts the absorption of nutrients. The best time for a sweet treat is about two hours after you finish your meal. And when it comes to what you eat, try dark chocolate. Sleep: People who sleep fewer than six hours a night have a 50% increased risk of viral infections and increased risk of heart disease and stroke. Lack of sleep is also associated with mental decline and overeating. Half of men over 40 have trouble sleeping. If that s you, create an environment where it s easy to sleep. Dim the lights 15 minutes before you go to bed and wear loose-fitting clothing... or nothing. The flavonols found in cocoa improve circulation and increase blood flow to the brain, which helps you see more clearly.

5 next level! Paul, Your program is changing my life. Not because I look better in my bathing suits and jeans, but you are truly changing my F.A.T. (fears affecting transformation) one session at a time. I leave workouts and now take everything I do to the NEXT LEVEL and make sure to give each day all I ve got. This program has transformed how I am as a mother, a wife, and as a teacher. I don t know that I would have taken the initial step to be a part of your program if it wasn t for Paul Lacoste Sports, St. Dominic Health Services, MS Beverage Association, Jackson Heart Foundation, MORA, and other sponsors offering the Fit4Teaching program. Now, I AM HOOKED! The next goal is to get my husband on board in August. Thanks again for everything. -Mallory Todd Thompson is down 60 + pounds! WHO S NEXT?
