		<description><![CDATA[Remember last winter when we were shivering in our boots and praying for warmer weather to arrive? Spring and summer should be seasons when we enjoy getting out in the fresh air and sunshine. But when a heat wave hits, our bodies may have precious little time for acclimation. When our bodies are suddenly thrust into high temperatures, the risk of heat-related illness is much greater. Heat stress is a burden that hot weather places on the heart and blood vessels, which comprise the backbone of the body&#8217;s cooling system. Heat-related deaths and illnesses are preventable yet thousands of people]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  Sixty million Americans suffer from high blood pressure. High blood pressure has been called the “silent killer” because often there are no significant symptoms. Your blood pressure reading is determined by how much blood your heart pumps and how much resistance to the blood flow there is in your arteries.  A person is diagnosed as having high blood pressure when the reading is higher than 140/90. A healthy reading is 120/80 or even a little lower. There are two types of high blood pressure. Primary high blood pressure is the description used to describe high blood pressure with no]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Baffling. Exasperating. Overwhelming. Heartbreaking. All of those adjectives have been used to describe autism, a developmental disorder that affects as many as one out of every 150 children in this country. Autism is a lifelong disorder that causes abnormal neurological development and typically manifests itself by the age of 3. According to the Autism Society of America, autism is a complex developmental disorder that affects social interaction and communication. As early as infancy, a child with autism may be unresponsive to people and focus intently on one item to the exclusion of others for long periods of time. Many children]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What do purpose and puzzles have in common? Both have been linked to a significantly decreased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. The bottom line appears to be that keeping the brain actively engaged and challenged, coupled with a sense of purpose, can help ward off the devastating disease that affects more than five million Americans each year. In some cases the mental decline is sudden. In others the time between diagnosis and death can take more than a decade. The number of Alzheimer’s and dementia patients is expected to reach 16 million by 2050. A recent study concluded that people]]></description>

How terrible it would be to wake up every day with a spouse that you adore who can&#8217;t remember your name or anything about your 40-year marriage. Five million Americans suffer from Alzheimer&#8217;s and their families are all too familiar with the above scenarios.
