Let’s celebrate Heart Month

The Carroll County Health Department has several things going on this month in recognition of Heart Month.

To promote “Carroll County - Keeping in Step for a Healthy Heart,” the health department is giving away step-meters this first week. A person’s goal should be 10,000 steps per day. Pick up a diary at the department and keep track of your steps.

Helping people deal with stress will be the second week focus. The health department will be giving away stress balls, stress cards and brochures telling people how to de-stress their lives.

The third week will focus on healthy eating habits. Fast food nutrition guides and cookbooks with healthy heart recipes will be distributed.

During the last week of February, the department will be giving away guides with information on lowering cholesterol and blood pressure.

We want Carroll County residents to have healthy hearts. Stop by this month and we’ll help you toward that goal.
