Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital, Fitness And Health Celebrating National Heart Health Month – KHTS Radio

Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital and Henry Mayo Fitness and Health are celebrating National Heart Health Month with a series of events and classes for the Santa Clarita community.

Heart Month is a national campaign put on by the American Heart Association to bring awareness to the public so they know their risk and what theyre in control of, said Kim Brown, a registered dietician and nutritionist at Henry Mayo Fitness and Health. The ultimate goal really is to eradicate heart disease and stroke altogether.

National Heart Month kicked off on Feb. 7 with National Wear Red Day, when Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital and Henry Mayo Fitness and Health joined the community in wearing red in an effort to raise awareness.

Next, on Friday, Feb. 14, a Heart Health Fair is planned at the Newhall Community Center from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m.

We will be doing free screenings for blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and stroke, Brown said. They will have an ultrasound machine where they can check your main arteries for risk of stroke.

Resources and information are also expected to be provided, along with an Ask a Pharmacist session.

Then on Feb. 19, Brown is planning to teach a community education class called Heart Healthy Nutrition Whats On Your Plate? from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Henry Mayo Center.

Brown noted that the class will focus on, What to eat more of, what to eat less of, some of the things that we should be avoiding or at least limiting, (like) salt, sugar, processed foods. Just every way that you can to reduce your risk.
