HEALTH AND COMMUNITY NEWS
You Don’t Want to Get up Early to
Walk or Exercise?
The goal of this column and
the goal of the Health
Restoration 101 programs
are to help to maximize your
chances of living a longer,
healthier life.
If you knew the benefits
of regular exercise, you’d
run out of the house early
every day to do it, and get it
over with. What ever is your
choice, walking, jogging, or
dance, (then add some
weight training to it).
Find the form of exer
cise you like the best.
Investigate and research. (
That line dance class is great
on every level, and the most
fun.) When you find the one
that is right for you, you’ll
stick with it. And, stick with
it for you.
So when your friends
don’t show up, or call with
excuses, you can still go the
have a great time, knowing
you are doing it for you!
Regular exercise can be your
hedge against diabetes, back
pain, heart disease, and be
just the stress management
program you’ve needed all
along. Take a deep breath
here.
If you’ve not exercised
in a while you’ll want to start
slow and work your way up.
The important thing is to
start. Five minutes of exer
cise each day is better than
no exercise, anytime.
If you’ve been saying
you don’t need to exercise, or
Carloyn Guilford, CNC
that you don’t know what
good it will do you, here it is:
Regular exercise is for every
body, young and old. It will
help build muscle and bone,
improve flexibility and
strength, to guard against
falling and breaking.
Burns fat, improves
metabolism, to manage
weight, and enhances self
esteem. Lowers blood pres
sure and bad cholesterol,
strengthen the heart, increase
blood circulation for cell
oxygenation. This lowers the
risk of heart attack and
stroke, (even though you
may still be eating some bad
things).
Exercise is one of the
best ways to manage stress,
yoga, meditation, sleep are
good too. Regular exercise
will help to eliminate anxi
ety, depression, and feelings
of overwhelm. Clears the

going to the brain.
Exercising regularly
will reduce your risk of
developing diabetes, high
blood pressure, many types
of cancer and basically
reduce you risk of dying pre
maturely. So call up some
buddies, find out who wants
to do this with you, make a
plan, and get moving. Just do
it.

The Pink Ribbon Comedy Tour Rolls
into Savannah
Benefiting Susan 0, Komen for the Cuff to the fcreasf
Pink Ribbon Comedy Tour Bus
The Pink Ribbon
Comedy Tour will perform a
special stand-up comedy
event at 8 p.m. on
Wednesday, February 17 at
Smiles Piano Bar located at
314 Williamson Street in
downtown Savannah.
From January through
April 2010, the Pink Ribbon
Comedy Tour will donate 30
percent of the retail sales
price for every ticket sold to
Susan G. Komen for the
Cure® (with a minimum
guaranteed donation of
$10,000) in support of breast
cancer awareness and
research. Tickets for the
Savannah show are $10.
This one-night only
event includes PG-13 per
formances by comedians
Brendan T. Gleason, Nick
Hoff, Kevin Richards, and
Law Smith. Information
about how to become
involved with Susan G.
Komen for the Cure® and
breast education information
will also be available follow
ing the show.
The Pink Ribbon
Comedy Tour is dedicated to
Kevin's mother, Renee
Richards, who was diag
nosed with breast cancer in
the summer of 2009. Still
undergoing treatment, she is
the inspiration for Kevin and
his fellow comedians to
spread breast cancer aware
ness. One life has been dra
matically altered for the bet
ter because of the production
of this comedy tour. The goal
is to help many more.
Nancy G. Brinker
promised her dying sister,
Susan G. Komen, she would
do everything in her power
to end breast cancer forever.
In 1982, that promise
became Susan G. Komen for
the Cure and launched the
global breast cancer move
ment. Today, Komen for the
Cure is the world's largest
grassroots network of breast
cancer survivors and
activists fighting to save
lives, empower people,
ensure quality care for all
and energize science to find
the cures.
Thanks for events like
the Komen Race for the
Cure®, we have invested
nearly $1.5 billion to fulfill
our promise, becoming the
largest source of nonprofit
funds dedicated to the fight
against breast cancer in the
world.
