Attend the CHS Health Expo and give blood, sign up to be a marrow or organ donor, have your bone density evaluated, or any other of the numerous health screens that will be offered.  Bring friends or family with you!  The event is free and over 60 vendors will be in attendance.  What did you learn?  What was the best part?  What suggestions would you have to improve the Expo for next year?

Heart Healthy Diet

Can you improve your diet?  What makes one food better than another?  Could you shop at the grocery store only buying items located on the perimeter and nothing from the isles?  Can you have a positive influence on those in your house or your friends?  Scientists say being healthy is contagious!  Cook a heart healthy meal for your family.  Discuss what you made, why it is healthier than what you normally eat, and what your family thought of your culinary skills!
