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!

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!
