How to Protect Your Home from Carbon Monoxide:
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that is deadly at high concentrations. Carbon monoxide can be found anywhere and can be given off by many appliances. The Consumer Product Safety Commission says about 170 people in the US die every year because of carbon monoxide produced by products other than cars. Carbon monoxide poisoning can cause many health complications such as neurological damage. It’s important to know how to protect yourself from this gas.
Carbon monoxide detectors are the most effective way to know if your home has carbon monoxide in it. They are like smoke detectors, but their purpose is to detect carbon monoxide in the air. This will tell you if levels are too high by sounding an alarm.
Knowing when levels are too high is good, but knowing how to lower them or prevent high levels is also important. Some things to consider:
• Don’t leave a car idle in the garage
• Try to avoid using a power generator indoors
• If you must use a power generator inside a building, make sure it is less than 20 feet away from any ventilation source such as a window, door, or vent
• Make sure gas appliances have proper ventilation
• When using a fireplace, make sure the damper is open before lighting a fire and that it is open well after the fire has been extinguished
The effects of carbon monoxide poisoning are devastating. Keep your home as safe as possible by taking these preventative measures.

Misconceptions about Home Health Care:
Home Health is there for patients who are homebound due to a medical issue. It’s often suggested to patients after an inpatient stay at a hospital. Studies have shown that for patients who refuse home health care, the risk of readmission to hospitals double. Not understanding what home health is, can lead to people declining it. Below, we’ll go over some of the misconceptions about home health care.
You must have an inpatient stay to qualify: You do not. Home Health is available for anyone who is homebound because of a medical issue. If you can prove that you are homebound because of a condition, you can qualify. Family doctors can prescribe it if they feel it necessary.
Home health reinforces the frailty of the patient: One reason people refuse home health care is that it serves as a reminder of the condition. Home health is meant to help rehabilitate and facilitate a successful transition back to health. The mentality is not “let’s take care of you” so much as it is “let’s help you get better.” The idea is to rehabilitate so that services are no longer needed.
Home health is like having a babysitter: Medical-based home care is not like this. It is often confused with non-medical home care that provides services such as cooking, cleaning, assistance with bathing, etc. These are two different services.
Misconceptions about home health can lead to people refusing it. This can be harmful. Remember, if you are ever in need of home heath services, we are here to help. Our team of skilled professionals will help make the road to recovery smoother.

Study Finds Most Stroke Survivors Don't Improve Health Habits:
Strokes are serious medical events. It’s common knowledge that habits such as poor diet and exercise raise the risk of stroke. Preliminary evidence suggests that even after having a stroke, many survivors don’t improve health habits. This can lead to complications from the initial stroke and set up people for a repeat event.
There are seven health goals that the American Heart Association outlines as being good for lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease. Fewer than one in a hundred survivors meet all seven goals and only one in five meets four of them. In recent years, the number of survivors who met none or one of those goals jumped from 18% in 1988-1994 to 35% in 2011-2014.
One area survivors did improve in is cholesterol and blood pressure levels. On average, stroke survivors fare better in those two categories than they did years ago. It’s important to try and stay on top of health habits even if one has never had a stroke before.

Study Finds Potential Blood Vessel Benefits from Vitamin D3:
Cardiovascular disease is a common health issue. It can damage the body’s cardiovascular system and lead to medical emergencies. Research into treating cardiovascular disease is ongoing. For example, a recent study points to one potential way to reverse damage from cardiovascular disease. It shows that vitamin D3 has potential restorative properties for blood vessels.
Heart attack and stroke damage endothelial cells. These cells help regulate blood vessels by filtering bodily fluids. The study showed that treatment with vitamin D3 can repair damage to endothelial cells. This is important because there are not many things that are known to do that. Besides restorative functions, vitamin D3 was also found to help increase blood flow.
The study’s findings aren’t too surprising. In recent years, evidence has linked vitamin D3 deficiency and heart attacks. Some of the best ways of getting vitamin D3 are through sunlight, eating fish, and egg yolks. Those with a deficiency may want to discuss supplements with their doctor.
