Morgan’s Minute Neighbors, Heart failure is a condition that affects millions of people around the world. Essentially, heart failure occurs when the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. There are essentially two types of heart failure. Diastolic heart failure occurs when the heart muscle becomes thickened and stiff, often from overwork from conditions like high blood pressure. Systolic heart failure is when the heart muscle is weakened. Heart damage after a heart attack is a common cause, but also viruses or alcoholism, amongst numerous other causes. Other risk factors include smoking, obesity, and a family history of heart disease. As heart failure develops symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling in the legs and ankles. When it comes to the heart, prevention of heart disease is the best policy. Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking can all help reduce the risk of heart failure, as well as keeping high blood pressure and diabetes under control. Thankfully, there is a variety of effective treatments for heart failure, which often involve a combination of lifestyle changes, medications, and, in some cases, surgery. Managing blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes, as well as addressing obesity and tobacco is paramount for optimal recovery. Take heart, neighbors, that despite heart failure being common, many of the risk factors within our control to improve, and the medical understanding and treatment options for heart failure today are in-depth and numerous.

Garden Club Announces Winners In Several Contests -Henrilyn Cleland, Special Contributor The Screven County Garden Club met on April 23, 2024, at Cail Community Center.

The Sculpture Contest is to encourage our youth to keep the planet green and to protect the environment. The sculpture is limited to a size that fits onto an 8 1/2” X 11” sheet of paper. Local 6th Grade sculpture entries won first, second and third places in State and Deep South Region. First Place winner was Sophie Graham, Second Place, Jaylee Flanders; and Third Place, Keimara Wedlow. Local 8th Grade Sculpture entries also took highest honors. First place winner was Lilly McAfee, second place Brianna Sweet, and third place Piper Black. The Youth Poetry Contest required composition of a poem titled “I Spy With My Little Eye, Something Green Outside - Celebrating Our Green World.” Paisley Lindsey took first place in the 3rd Grade entries.
