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!

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.
