You can prevent a stroke!

Today I received in my email the latest Canadian Health Network's Healthlink newsletter in which Stroke Awareness Month is highlighted. (Note: This is a worthwhile newsletter to include in your subscriptions.)

Here is the link to all the Stroke Awareness Month features (scroll down past the middle of the page to find them).

June is Stroke Month & Time is Brain

I learned both these facts when visiting the Heart and Stroke Foundation's Web site this morning.

Here are links to the Web site's new articles:

• Time is Brain -- lists 10 simple steps to protect your brain; step 5 is "cut the fat and salt"
• Eating Well with Canada's New Food Guide -- Alyssa Rolnick, RD "point[s] our appetites in the right direction" by suggesting simple, achievable tips on wise food choices, incoporating them in appealing recipes, and then directing us to food guide tools. Well done!
