By Sara Hill - Contributing columnist
Did you know that everyone is at risk for heart disease? In fact, heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. The Creating Healthy Communities (CHC) program at the Meigs County Health Department (MCHD) is committed to providing the resources necessary to preventing chronic diseases, much like heart disease. Each year, CHC focuses on many healthy eating and active living projects throughout Meigs County. These projects were aligned with community goals and needs, making “the healthy choice the easy choice.” The best way to handle heart disease is by overall prevention. Preventing heart disease is possible by eating healthy, staying active, controlling cholesterol and blood pressure, and managing stress.
