September is National Cholesterol Awareness Month
High cholesterol puts your health at
risk and can cause heart disease and heart
attacks. Heart disease is the No. 1 killer in
the U.S. - it kills more people than cancer,
stroke or illness.
The dangerous part about cholesterol
is that it’s a silent disease, meaning you
don’t know you have high cholesterol
without getting tested. This is one reason
why seemingly healthy people have heart
attacks without warning.
Cholesterol is waxy substance a bit
like fat that builds up in your blood vessels
the way the pipes to your kitchen sink get
buildup. Cholesterol can clog your blood
vessels (your pipes) and also break off in
chunks that can block blood vessels and
cause things like heart attacks and strokes.
Buildup also can affect the circulation in
your legs, causing pain with exercise.
4
such as dairy products, butter, mayon
naise, oils, fried foods and fast food.
Many people think only older people
have high cholesterol, but high cholesterol
is showing up in younger and younger
people now. Overweight children with
high-fat diets who have parents or grand
parents with heart disease also are at risk
for high cholesterol.
There are several types of cholesterol
but doctors focus on bad (LDL) and good
(HDL) cholesterol when determining if
medication is needed to treat your levels.
High cholesterol tends to run in families
and the risk of having high cholesterol
gets higher for you as you get older, weigh
more, are less active and eat high-fat foods
In general, the higher the HDL and
lower the LDL, the healthier your blood
vessels and heart will be.
Luckily, there are many ways to pre
vent and treat high cholesterol. Treatment
depends on which cholesterol levels are
high and other health problems you might
have. You may be able to help your choles
terol with diet changes and exercise, but
please talk to your medical provider first.

Time to gather
materials to
make baskets
Summer is here and it’s time
to continue gathering materials for
Siletz baskets.
Hazel stick gathering is a must
for anyone interested in making
traditional Siletz baskets. Spruce
root can be dug all year round and
is used for the weavers or weft of
Siletz baskets.
Bear grass and maidenhair
fem are used for overlay to make
our traditional designs or marks in
our baskets and both are picked in
late summer.
Any Tribal members interested
in gathering can call Bud Lane at
800-922-1399, ext. 1320, or 541-
444-8320, or e-mail budl@ctsi.
nsn.us. Just a reminder - basket
materials must be gathered in a
timely fashion.
