February is American Heart Month

February is upon us and once again hearts are the theme. Little pink, red, and white hearts decorate checkout lines, greeting cards, and of course, the confectionery aisle. Hearts and chocolate do go so well together, don't they?

While we're celebrating love, it's also the perfect time to focus on our heart health as the American Heart Association, or AHA, kicks off American Heart Month.

Heart disease remains the number one killer in the United States each year. Every 25 seconds, someone in the United States suffers a heart attack.

Once thought of as a man's disease, we now know that heart disease is an equal opportunity killer. It prematurely takes the lives of more women each year than all cancers combined.

Believing that these statistics are unacceptable, the mission of the AHA is simple -- "To build healthier lives, free of heart disease and stroke."

One of the initiatives sponsored by the AHA to further the goal of a world free of heart disease and stroke is the Go Red for Women initiative.

A national endeavor, Go Red for Women is uniquely focused on educating women about heart disease, their personal heart health risk, and how they can take charge and empower themselves to build a different heart healthy future.

For more information about American Heart Month and the National Wear Red Day, visit www.empowher.com/heart-disease and the American Heart Association.

February is also Responsible Pet Owners' Month

Visit eHow.com to find out How to Participate in Responsible Pet Owner Month. And Spread the word - Let all of your friends and family know that it's Responsible Pet Owner Month.

 

 

 

Bond County Humane Society offers special adoption fee discounts for seniors 60 years or older. This discount is made available through the The Purina Pets For Seniors program. Studies have shown that pet companionship actually improves senior citizen health and outlook on life. Lowered blood pressure and a reduction in stress are among the potential benefits of pet ownership. In addition‚ seniors with pets report feeling happier and safer. The Pets For Seniors program helps to defray the costs of spaying/neutering, microchip, vaccinations, and other fees.
