Senior Aide: Bill Fitz & Rodney Booth Dear Members of the Center, This February is American Heart Month, created to raise awareness of this disease that claims the lives of so many. Heart disease and strokes are two of the three most deadly diseases in the United States. Combined,
these two illnesses result in approximately 750,000 deaths in the US each year — almost a fourth of all annual deaths in the United States.
It is much easier to make healthy choices that prevent heart disease and strokes. Therefore, people of all ages should be wary of their habits in an effort to prevent these conditions from happening to you. As with most
recommendations, maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle with proper diet and no smoking is of the highest
priority. By keeping your body as healthy as possible, it is in its best shape to fight off disease and keep
organs working properly.
So spread the word and be sure to join the Center’s Open Exercise area,
or join in on a fun class or two!
