How To Succeed At Surviving Heart Failure
(NAPSA)—The latest
statistics from the Ameri-
can Heart Association
(AHA), one of the world’s
oldest and largest vol-
untary
organizations
dedicated to fi ghting
heart disease and stroke,
show that the number of
people living with heart
failure has now topped
more than 6 million—
and that number is ex-
pected to rise to more
than 8 million by 2030.
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.”

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

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.

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.
For your next brunch, picnic, tailgating
party, holiday open house or random Sunday
breakfast with family or friends, try adding
these delicious muffi ns to the menu.
Only mildly spicy, the muffi ns have
