A8 Blue Mountain Eagle Wednesday, February 3, 2016 Community HEALTH BEAT Quality Healthcare Close To Home 170 Ford Road, John Day • 541-575-1311 • www.bluemountainhospital.org Suggestions for Healthy New You Bruce McLellan, MD St. Charles Heart & Lung Center If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, what do you need to do to avoid needing to see the cardiologist? Would you believe that there are things you can do in your own home that will make a big difference in your heart health and overall well-being? Since February is Heart Month, let’s review some of the strategies for avoiding heart disease. Firstly, choose your parents wisely! Many heart diseases are at least partly genetic in origin. But even if your parents had heart disease, there is no guarantee that you will develop the same disease, so the next three strategies are crucial to maximize your odds of good heart health. [When you figure out how to choose your parents, please let me know how you did it! :) ] Secondly, don’t start smoking cigarettes, and if you are already smoking, make plans to quit this year. Smoking is the #1 preventable cause of disease in death in the United States, and this is especially true for cardiovascular disease. Smoking cessation is always hard, but make it a goal to reduce your consumption by one cigarette each week. Make plans to celebrate with the money you will have saved once you are tobacco free. For you young people: you may think that smoking is cool, but wait until you develop premature wrinkling of the face (ladies) and erectile dysfunction (men). Thirdly, food matters! The Mediterranean Diet is good tasting, MARILYN RANDALL Marilyn was born on May 7, 1940 to Oscar and Ruth White, in Weiser, Idaho. She has two older sisters, Lola and Ileta. Marilyn and her family moved to Bates, Oregon, when Marilyn was a baby. She went to school in Bates, 1st grade through 8th grade and later to high school in Prairie City. Marilyn married Vern Randall on September 27, 1957 and they had four children; Ruthie, Kenny, Jimmy and Ricky. They raised their children in Mt. Vernon, Oregon on a small ranch. Marilyn was a stay at home mom. Marilyn enjoys crocheting, canning, decorating, helping her good friends, Ruby and Maureen, clean each others homes, anything involving her kids or grandkids; sports, 4-H and many others. Marilyn has traveled to Disneyworld, Hawaii and enjoyed taking family trips to Minnesota. Marilyn came to the Blue Mountain Care Center on July 9, 2015. Last, but not least, make a commitment to exercise. Three times a week for 20-30 minutes each is a good start. What kind of exercise is best? The one that you will stick with!!! It doesn’t matter if it’s walking, hiking, bicycling, or using the treadmill in your own home while watching television. Pick something you enjoy and make it part of your routine. To your health in 2016! 2015 Donors BLUE MOUNTAIN CARE CENTER Resident of the Month won’t leave you starving between meals, and reduces cardiovascular illnesses and death. When grocery shopping, be very wary of anything in a package and read the nutritional labels carefully. Foods around the periphery of the store (fruits, vegetables, grains, low fat dairy products, and low fat meats) are generally better choices than the boxes, cans, and packages in the center aisles of the store.
