FACTS AND STATS 1. All women can be at risk for
cervical cancer- it occurs most
often in women over age 30.
2. Almost all cervical cancers are
caused by HPV- you can be
screened for HPV via a physician.
3. Every 4-½ minutes, a baby is born
with a birth defect in the US- nearly
120,000 each year.
4. While the cause of birth defects is a
combination of many things, some
things that can increase the chances
are smoking or drinking during
pregnancy, being obese or having uncontrolled diabetes during
pregnancy and typically being over
the age of 34.
5. Every two seconds someone in the
US needs blood about 41,000 blood
donations are needed every day.
6. Although an estimated 38 percent
of the US population is eligible to
donate, less than 10% actually do
each year.
7. Glaucoma is a group of diseases
that damage the eye’s optic nerve
and can result in vision loss and
blindness.
8. Early detection is the easiest way to
prevent serious damage- get eye
exams at your doc regularly

New Year’s Resolution? Great! Now what?....... By Katie Kopfle, Central Campus Fitness Center Facilitator
Tips for keeping your resolutions all year: 1. Be Specific- the more specific you are with date and time frame, the more likely you will
succeed. (e.g. I will lose… pounds by… date… through working out… days per week)
2. Accountability- Tell your friends or family about your goal; having people to hold you accountable is a huge motivator and support system.
3. Write it down- Having a visible goal you can see (e.g. on your dashboard in your car or post-it note on computer) makes it more tangible, and you’ll be less likely to break it.
4. Don’t be upset by setbacks- There will be times when you will lose motivation or not stick to your schedule (nobody’s perfect) just remember it’s temporary and you can, and WILL, move
past it!
Recipes by Taylor Taylor Calamese is a Fitness and Wellness instructor, PT instructor in Health and P.E. at CPCC, and will be providing new healthy recipes each month to try at home. For more information about her, visit the BeWell Website. Green Juice Machine Smoothie (125 calories)
2 big handfuls spinach
1/2 seedless cucumber
1/2 cup pineapple or mango
1/2 large navel orange, peeled
1/2 lime, peeled
1/4-1/2 cup water Directions If using a Vitamix or other high-powered blender:
Chop cucumber, pineapple, orange, and lime into 1-inch chunks for easier blending.
Place spinach in the blender jug. Add half the other ingredients and 1/2 cup water.
Secure the blender lid and start off blending at moderate speed. Pulse if necessary to get things moving, then gradually increase speed to high. Once mixture is close to being fully pureed, add remaining ingredients and continue to blend. Only add additional water if necessary.
Pour into a tall glass and enjoy, or store it in an air-tight mason jar in the fridge. Consume within 8 hours for optimal freshness. Enjoy!
