American Heart Month:
Heart Disease Is Number ~
Heart disease is the leading cause
of death in the United States, killing
more than 600,000 people each year,
according to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
The term “heart disease” refers to
several types of heart conditions.
The most common type is coronary
artery disease (CAD), which can
cause heart attack. Other kinds of
heart disease may involve the valves
in the heart, or the heart may not
pump well and cause heart failure.
Some people are born with heart
disease.
Anyone, including children, can
develop heart disease. It occurs
when a substance called plaque
builds up in your arteries. Too much
plaque buildup and narrowed artery
walls can make it harder for blood
to flow through your body. When
your heart muscle doesn’t get
enough blood, you may have chest
pain or discomfort, called angina.
Angina is the most common
symptom of CAD.
Over time, CAD can weaken the
heart muscle. This may lead to heart
failure, a serious condition where
the heart can’t pump blood the way
that it should. An irregular
heartbeat, or arrhythmia, also can
develop. When this happens, your
arteries can narrow over time,
reducing blood flow to the heart.
According to ARH Cardiologist
Pablo Lopez, M.D., once you get
heart disease, you will always have
it. “There are effective medicines to
slow the progression and procedures
which can help blood and oxygen
flow to the heart, but arteries
remain damaged,” Lopez explained.
“Also keep in mind the condition of
your blood vessels will steadily
worsen unless you make changes in
your daily habits, take your
medicines and control your risk
factors.”
Major Risk Factors
Unhealthy blood cholesterol
levels. This includes high LDL
cholesterol (sometimes called ~bad”
cholesterol) and low HDL cholesterol
(sometimes called ~good”
cholesterol).
High blood pressure. Blood
pressure is considered high if it stays
at or above 140/90 mmHg over time.
If you have diabetes or chronic
kidney disease, high blood pressure
is defined as 130/80 mmHg or
higher. (The mmHg is millimeters of
mercury—the units used to measure
blood pressure.)
Smoking. Smoking can damage
and tighten blood vessels, lead to
unhealthy cholesterol levels, and
raise blood pressure. Smoking also
can limit how much oxygen reaches
the body’s tissues.
Insulin resistance. This condition
occurs if the body can’t use its own
insulin properly. Insulin is a
hormone that helps move blood
sugar into cells where it’s used for
energy. Insulin resistance may lead
to diabetes.
Diabetes. With this disease, the
body’s blood sugar level is too high
because the body doesn’t make
enough insulin or doesn’t use its
insulin properly.
Over weight or obesity. The terms
“overweight” and “obesity” refer to
body weight that’s greater than
what is considered healthy for a
certain height.
Metabolic syndrome. Metabolic
syndrome is the name for a group of
risk factors that raises your risk for
CHD and other health problems,
such as diabetes and stroke.
Lack of physical activity. Being
physically inactive can worsen other
One Killer
risk factors for CHD, such as
unhealthy blood cholesterol levels,
high blood pressure, diabetes, and
overweight or obesity.
Unhealthy diet An unhealthy diet
can raise your risk for CHD. Foods
that are high in saturated and trans
fats, cholesterol, sodium, and sugar
can worsen other risk factors for
CHD.
Older age. Genetic or lifestyle
factors cause plaque to build up in
your arteries as you age. In men, the
risk for coronary heart disease
increases starting at age 45. In
women, the risk for coronary heart
disease increases starting at age 55.
A family history of early coronary
heart disease is a risk factor for
developing coronary heart disease,
specifically if a father or brother is
diagnosed before age 55, or a mother
or sister is diagnosed before age 65.
Regarding these risk factors,
Lopez emphasized: “Pay attention to
these health factors and talk to your
healthcare provider about making
necessary changes to your lifestyle
so you can improve your heart
health.”
Your healthcare provider can
determine your risk of heart attack,
and can provide information about
various tools you can use to protect
your heart, including smoking
cessation programs, an exercise
regimen, nutrition counseling, blood
pressure screenings and cholesterol
testing.

(NAPS)—If your family is like
most, a few facts on sunlight and
eyesight could be illuminating.
The Importance Of
Eye Protection
First, you should know that the
average child’s eyes get about
three times as much exposure to
ultraviolet (UV) rays as do the
average adult’s.
There are several reasons for
this. For one thing, children are
more likely than adults to be out—
doors, especially in the summer
and on snowy days, and sand,
snow and water reflect UV light
and increase the need for protec-
tion. For another, children’s eyes
are even more sensitive to UV rays
than adults’ because they are
clearer and more delicate and their
pupils are larger and let far more
light through than adults’ eyes.
Exposure to UV radiation can lead
to keratitis in children; that is, an
inflammation of the cornea that
causes pain and itchiness.
A polarizing light filter keeps
harmful UV rays out of kids’ eyes.
According to the experts at the
World Society of Paediatric Oph-
thalmology and Strabismus,
“shielding children’s eyes from
excessive ambient UV radiation in
direct and reflected sunlight is
extremely important. Whenever
outside, appropriate UVA/B-block-
ing protective lenses in well-fitted,
safe frames are valuable for all;
particularly in the younger child,
adolescent and those who are geo-
graphically or medically at higher
risk. The lenses should block at
least 99 percent of UVA/B light and
meet local protection standards.
Polarized lenses often provide
greater comfort from glare, espe-
cially for light-sensitive children.”
AnAnswer
To help parents take care of
their children’s eyes, the
Polaroid Sunglasses brand cre-
ated a free UV app called the
Polaroid UV Alert app that mea-
sures UV radiation. Available
from Apple’s App Store—
designed for iPhones and the
Apple Watch—and also compati-
ble with iPads and iPod Touch, it
is aimed to alert users when
radiation reaches dangerous lev-
els and offers information on
polarized lenses and lens tech-

nology, including directions on
where to purchase high-quality
Polaroid polarized sunglasses.
AProblem
Unfortunately, most people
don’t pay enough attention to eye
protection and are not aware of
the harmful effects of UV rays.
Only half the population thinks
that sunglasses are a must-have
accessory to protect the eyes from
harmful solar radiation, and more
than 30 percent of them say they
rarely wear sunglasses.
Perhaps because of this defi-
ciency of awareness, product qual-
ity is not behind most sunglass
purchase: 57 percent of customers
buy sunglasses only for style and
28 percent based on price, while
only 15 percent make informed
choices based on lens quality and
UV protection level.
How To Choose Sunglasses
Wearing sunglasses that block
100 percent of UV rays and up to
96 percent of blue light is a sim-
ple, safe and cost-effective way to
protect the eyes. _
Although lens color and shad-
ing are not indicators of the sun-
glasses’ UV-blocking ability, differ-
ent lens colors offer different
advantages:
'Yellow: good for skiing or
low-light situations, such as fog,
as they increase contrast though
they can cause color distortion;
'Amber/Brown: good for
nearsighted people;
'Light Blue/Green: best
suited for farsighted people. a
The level of eye protection
depends mainly on the lens filter
and material.
For example, Polaroid Sun-
glasses’ UltraSight polarized
lenses let less than 1 percent ‘of
UV rays pass through up to 400
nanometers, exceeding the protec-
tion available in most other sun-
glass lenses. UV400 lenses block
all harmful UVA, UVB and UVC
rays, eliminate glare and provide
crisp, correct vision and accurate
color perception. The core element
is the polarizing light filter. UV
light absorbers and shock-absorb-
ing layers are fused to both sides
of the lens so it’s light, flexible
and impact resistant. A scratch-
resistant layer on both the outer
surfaces completes the lens
structure.

leader in eye care and optics and

wear brand that owes its name to

Senate President Bill Cole convened
a meeting with senators from the
counties affect by the DNR closures.
The meeting was/attended by the
leadership of the DNR. I was in
attendance at the meeting in the
Presidents Conference room.
The end result of the meeting is
that the DNR will meet with the
Commissions of each county along
with other government agencies
that have a stake in the affected
area.
In our case I believe that would
be Congressional staff members‘ our

The date is yet to be determined;
I believe it will take place in

convenience of President Cole and

We will have to find a solution
that is respectful of their budget and

We are in a severe budgetary
