Give Blood Now to Help

Recover the Blood Supply

American Red Cross

You can help the Red Cross by giving blood now to help the blood supply recover!

With this latest round of severe winter storms, the Red Cross has been unable to collect blood in certain parts of the country, and has been forced to cancel over 750 blood drives and over 28,000 scheduled blood donations since January 1. As a result, in this period blood collections are the lowest we have seen in a decade.

At any given moment patients rely on life-saving blood products. The need is constant - even in emergency situations such as severe weather. The quickest help will come from local blood donors like you, who are able to give now!

The Red Cross urges people who are eligible to schedule an appointment to give blood now. Visit redcrossblood.org now to find a blood drive near you or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

The Red Cross distributes blood products to approximately 3,000 hospitals and transfusion centers across the United States. People have been responding to the call for blood donors, and the Red Cross is grateful to those who are stepping up to donate blood to help the blood supply recover to sufficient levels.

Hello,

     We have relocated the container for the plastic bag recycling  that was located on the 1st floor in the Library/Science building by the coffee shop, to its new location on the 2nd floor in the Science Office Suite(E2820).  The container is next to the other recycle containers in that office suite.  We had to move it due to the large amounts of food and beverages that were being put in there.

HEALTH & WELLNESS:

 

Eating a bowl of oatmeal each morning is the perfect way to start your day off right.  The benefits of oatmeal are due to the fact that it’s made from oats and oats are a good source of both soluble and insoluble fiber.  It has been found that those who eat more oats are less likely to develop heart disease, a disease that is currently widespread in the United States.  But select your oatmeal wisely.  The real stuff is the plain oat flakes from Quaker Oats or a similar brand, not the instant kind that comes in the different flavors – these are full of sugar. 

– Information in this article borrowed from

   http://health.learninginfo.org/benefits-oatmeal.htm

 

************

Oatmeal

½ cup Quaker oatmeal

1 cup light vanilla soy milk

1 cup + frozen berries (I use Costco’s mixed berries)

Mix oatmeal and soy milk together and microwave for about 2 minutes.  Let sit.  Heat berries in microwave until warm.  Mix with oatmeal.

As a side to the oatmeal I mix some Egg Starts (Costco’s Egg Beaters) with a little bit of Canola oil and cook.  This adds a little more protein and healthy fat to the breakfast.

February is American Heart Month: Are You Doing Enough?

Posted by Neil Katz

(CBS News - Health) February is American Hearth month and that means it's a good moment to think about a disease that kills more than 600,000 Americans each year. Heart disease is the leading killer amongst both men and women.

But there's lots we can do to stay heart healthy. According to the CDC, making these healthy lifestyle choices can help:

  • Choose lean meats and poultry without skin and prepare them without added saturated and trans fat.
  • Select fat-free, 1percent  fat, and low-fat dairy products.
  • Cut back on foods containing partially hydrogenated vegetable oils to reduce trans fat in your diet.
  • Cut back on foods high in dietary cholesterol. Aim to eat less than 300 mg of cholesterol each day.
  • Cut back on beverages and foods with added sugars.
  • Select and purchase foods lower in salt/sodium.
  • If you drink alcohol, drink in moderation. That means no more than one drink per day if you're a woman and two drinks per day if you're a man.
  • Keep an eye on your portion sizes.

It's also important to know the signs of an impending heart attack, because they can start slowly and symptoms may seem mild. According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, these are the signs that may mean a heart attack is in progress.

  • Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain.
  • Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach.
  • Shortness of breath. May occur with or without chest discomfort.

  • ClipArt

     Other signs may include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea, or lightheadedness.
