Health and Wellness
September is Cholesterol Education Month. Cholesterol is a waxy, fat like substance found in the body and many foods. The body needs cholesterol to function normally and makes all you need. Too much cholesterol can build up in the arteries, narrow them and putting individuals at risk for heart disease and stroke.
September is also National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, Gynecology Cancer Awareness Month, and Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month. Please remember to get regular physical examinations. Encourage loved ones to follow suit. God commands his people to be good stewards over everything and that includes our temples, bodies.
