Much of that increase can be attributed to medical advances that have improved survival rates of heart attacks and other conditions that can lead to heart failure. “The ability to treat this condition, restore health and quality of life, extend life and, most importantly, prevent this condition is more robust now than ever,” said Clyde W. Yancy, M.D., past president of the AHA and chief of cardi- ology and Magerstadt professor at Northwest- ern University, Feinberg School of Medicine, Chi- cago. “Prevention is a key consideration as one of every fi ve adults alive at age 40 will develop heart failure during his or her lifetime.” Heart failure is a condition in which the heart is too weak to pump blood suffi ciently throughout the body. Knowing the signs and symptoms of heart fail- ure is critical—the earlier someone seeks care for heart failure, the better the chances of living a longer, more active life. Symptoms • Diffi culty breathing • Persistent coughing or wheezing • Fatigue • Nausea • Confusion • Fainting or near- More people these days are living with heart failure. The more you know, the better you can man- age the condition. fainting • Increased heart rate • Swelling of the feet, ankles and legs. People experiencing more than one of these should talk with their doctor about a heart evaluation. There’s usu- ally no cure for heart failure but it can be man- aged. Treatments • Lifestyle Changes: Certain lifestyle changes can help alleviate symp- toms, slow disease pro- gression and improve everyday life. These changes could include quitting smoking, losing or maintaining weight, eating a heart-healthy diet, being physically active, managing stress and getting adequate rest. • Regular Monitor- ing: It’s very important for people with heart failure to monitor their symptoms and report any changes to their health care team. This may involve daily weigh- ins to track water reten- tion, closely watching swelling, and monitoring changes in ability to ex- ercise. • Medications and Devices: Heart failure patients often need mul- tiple medications. There are devices that can control heart rhythm or measure circulation. It’s important that patients and caregivers work with their health care team to understand the medi- cations and how they should be taken. Under- standing the devices is also important. • Surgery: Surgery is sometimes recom- mended when a doctor can identify a correct- able problem, such as a congenital defect, valve abnormality or blocked coronary artery. When heart failure is advanced, the use of an artifi cial pump to sustain circula- tion or heart transplan- tation to replace the failing heart can be done today with much less risk than ever before and im- proved outcomes. The most important thing, suggested Dr. Yancy, is to work closely with a heart failure team and follow its advice. “Research today is point- ing to new directions to restore the heart’s function, capture early warning signs and cre- ate highly personalized treatment plans,” he said. “There is no reason to ever again accept ‘failure’ as a diagnosis. With the right team in place exer- cising best care options, nearly everyone with this condition can now thrive.” Learn More For facts about heart failure, and free tools to help you prevent and better manage the dis- ease, visit www.RiseA- boveHF.org.

Increase The Value Of Your Home Quickly And Affordably With These Helpful Tips (NAPSA)—When it comes to making your home more attractive to poten- tial buyers, one of the most important considerations is right at your feet: the fl oor. According to Realtors and home inspectors, qual- ity fl ooring is more likely to increase your home’s value than the roof, windows, even room additions. Fortunately, increas- ing the value of your home doesn’t have to mean replac- ing your fl oors. Th e upside of fl ooring is that it can be one of the most valuable commodities in a house and one of the least expensive to maintain and improve. A few simple techniques suggested by the experts at the World Floor Covering Association (WFCA), that cost virtually nothing but your time, may help extend the life of your fl ooring: Easy Care Advice on Hardwoods • For natural fl ooring such as wood, never use am- monia cleaners or oil soaps. Th ey will dull the fi nish and performance of the fl oor. Th ese products will also af- fect the ability to recoat your fl oor at a future point in time. • Since wood naturally expands when it’s wet, never wet mop or use excessive water to clean a hardwood fl oor. Large amounts of water can make the wood swell and may cause planks or strips to crack or splinter. Be sure to wipe up any spills on hard- wood promptly. • Pets with long nails can cause dents and scratches on hardwood fl oors that are not covered by your warranty. Be sure to regularly trim your pet’s claws to avoid damage. Carpet Care • You may not realize it, but carpet is the largest fi l- ter in a home. It fi lters soils, gases, allergens, spills and other pollutants. With this in mind, vacuum it regularly. • To avoid running into warranty issues with your carpet (and many other types of fl ooring), make sure you use cleaning products rec- ommended by the fl oor’s manufacturer. Be Smart About Ceramics, Stone and Vinyl • Try to clean up spills as quickly as possible on ce- ramic fl oors so the grout or tile doesn’t become stained. Don’t use bleach or ammo- nia-based cleaners, as these can discolor your grout. Don’t clean glazed tile with oil-based cleaners. While ce- ramic tile is considered very durable, it’s not indestruc- tible and may crack or chip Photo credit: US Floors COREtec Residential and industry experts agree that well- maintained fl oors add instant value to your home. under extreme force. • With ceramic fl oors, aft er the installation process is complete and the grout has had ample time to cure, sealing the entire fl oor can provide protection from dirt and spills by slowing down the staining process. • With vinyl fl oors, avoid using rubber-backed mats or rugs as they can damage and potentially discolor your fl oor. Instead, use mats or rugs made especially for vi- nyl fl oors. • With stone fl oors, al- ways blot spills immediately. A neutral-pH detergent or pure soap, such as Liquid Ivory and warm water, can be used for spills or periodic cleaning. Never use lemon juice, vinegar, ammonia or other acids—or products that contain these fl uids— on marble, limestone or travertine. Also avoid using scouring cleaning products or cleaners that contain abra- sives on any stone as they will dull its luster. Limit Sun Exposure • Protect the fi nish of your laminate, hardwood, carpet and resilient fl oor from the harmful rays of direct sunlight by using window shades and closing drapes. It’s also a good idea to periodically rotate rugs and furniture exposed to direct sunlight so your fl oors don’t develop unwanted “tan lines” and discoloration. When It’s Time for New Flooring Even the best care can’t keep your fl oors at their best forever. If you’re thinking of getting new fl ooring but are concerned about the pos- sible cost, consider these two ideas: 1. You don’t have to redo all your fl oors at once. Re- search shows that the fi rst two areas of a home potential buyers look at are the kitch- en and the bathroom. New fl oors there can make a pow- erful fi rst impression. 2. It’s a common myth that fl ooring needs to be expensive to add value. Th e truth is that kitchens can be patterned with inexpensive fl oor tiles for a customized eff ect. Similarly, adding ac- cent tiles in a bathroom can make it appear more fi nely detailed and attractive. If you do decide upgraded fl oors are in order, it’s very likely your kitchen and bathrooms do not take up a lot of square footage, which means rela- tively small investments in actual fl ooring product. Th at translates into big impact for very little cost. Expert Advice “Money invested to up- grade replacement fl oor cov- ering, particularly in kitchens and baths, prior to reselling a house can be expected to re- turn substantially more than 100 percent of the cost of renovation,” said Scott Hum- phrey, Chief Executive Offi - cer, WFCA. “For example, if homeowners invest $5,000 to replace worn-out fl oor cover- ings and then list their home on the market, they should factor in an extra $10,000 to $15,000 on the selling price. We’ve seen this time and time again for homes of all values in markets across the country.” What’s more, for every $1,000 spent on upgraded fl ooring and fi nanced into the mortgage, the buyer’s payment typically increases by less than $10 a month. Th e new fl oors can usually be written off during the fi rst few years of the mortgage. Learn More For further facts and tips on caring for all types of fi ne fl ooring, go to www. WFCA.org.

California Sweet Potatoes For Holidays And Every Day (NAPS)—Here’s food for thought: As more and more Americans realize, sweet potatoes can be enjoyed not only during the winter holidays but on other holidays and on a regular old Tuesday night, for that matter. High in vitamin B6, vitamin A, carotene and potassium, rich in antioxidants, vitamins C and E and a great source of manganese and dietary fi ber (almost twice as much fi ber as a white potato), sweet potatoes are healthful and nutritious. Sweet potatoes grown in California, many on small family farms, are especially delicious because California’s warm, dry cli- mate and rich, sandy soil grow some of the nation’s best sweet potatoes and they are available year round. Here are a few ways to incorporate tasty California sweet potatoes in dishes for other holidays and anytime. • Switch up a classic potato gratin recipe and substitute California sweet potatoes for white potatoes. It’s a great accompaniment to an Easter ham or lamb or as an easy-to-make side dish to go along with a store-bought rotisserie chicken—making any weeknight meal a little more special. • When avocado toast starts to feel a little humdrum, forget the bread and pop a 1/4-inch-thick slice of a California sweet po- tato into the toaster for fi ve or so minutes, then top with peanut butter and sliced banan- as, chocolate hazelnut spread and crushed nuts, cottage cheese and chives or a fried egg with a dash of hot sauce. And if you haven’t had your fi ll of avocado toast, go ahead and smear the toasted sweet potato with mashed or sliced avocado and enjoy the best of both worlds while skipping the gluten—the oppor- tunities are practically endless. • California sweet potato oven fries are a welcome change to regular old French fries and are supereasy to make. Simply cut the sweet potatoes into desired thickness, coat them with olive oil and sprinkle with a little salt, pepper, cayenne, cumin or other favorite spice, arrange on a cookie sheet so they are in a single layer and bake at 425° F. until done. • And don’t forget the long-popular baked California sweet potato. Just preheat the oven to 400° F., pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork, wrap them individually in foil and bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until fork tender. Th en the fun begins: Enjoy them with a little salt, pepper and butter or stuff them with bacon and cheddar or sour cream and chives.
