February is American Heart Month

Don’t forget to wear red on February 7th

to show support for the fight against heart

disease!

Do you know what causes a heart attack? What about risk factors and symptoms?

February is a good time to remind ourselves of how to recognize a heart attack and steps

that we can take to be more heart-healthy.

A heart attack occurs when the flow of blood to the heart is blocked by a buildup of

plaque in the arteries.

Risk factors: high cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, overweight,

physical inactivity.

Symptoms:

*uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, or pain in the center of your chest that

lasts more than a few minutes or pain that goes away and comes back

*pain or discomfort in one or more arms

*back pain which can indicate stress to the heart muscle

*nausea or pain radiating to the jaw, neck, or back

*shortness of breath

What to do during a heart attack:

*Call 911 immediately and follow operators instructions.

*Do NOT drive yourself or have someone drive you to the hospital unless you

have no other choice. Emergency responders have the equipment to help

save your life when they arrive to your location.

Heart attack prevention is as easy as ABC:

*Avoid tobacco - *Become more active - *Choose good nutrition

Good news! Progress is being made on the kitchen!! The hood

consider.

February’s award goes to our favorite donut maker extraor-

dinaire, Lowell’s very own Mr. Kelly

McCool of Daylight Donuts! Kelly is a

very kind soul and loves to help with our

Wednesday morning bingo games! He is

gracious enough to provide donuts to

our senior center. Everyone at the

center loves it when he comes to call

Bingo. We would all like to thank Kelly for his willingness to

always help and being so Kind!

ACT OF KINDNESS AWARD

“Treasure the love you receive

above all. It will survive long

after your good health has

vanished.”

Learn to Love with all your heart and accept

the unlovable side of others. For anyone

can Love a rose, but only a great heart can

include the thorns.
