February is American Heart Month. http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/ Heart Disease is the Number One Cause of Death. About every 25 seconds, an American will have a coronary event. www.cdc.gov Please take the time to talk to your doctor and assess any risk factors that you may have. It’s also a great time to discuss any changes you should make in diet or exercise.

Exercising as family is one of the best ways to spend time together. It promotes a ‘healthy’ bond. It doesn’t have to be anything formal, just hanging out in the back yard or your local park. It’s amazing how much fun you can have just kicking a soccer ball or playing tag. If we want our children to be active one of the best ways to accomplish it is to lead by example.

February is African American History Month. http://www.africanamericanhistorymonth.gov/ African Americans are honored this month for all that they have accomplished and contributed to our world, our society and our cultural.
