With a snow storm forecasted for us this week in Manitoba, friends, please consider the following advise to prevent cardiac arrest, heart attack or stroke!

1. Avoid shovelling if you have any symptoms of heart disease or have had a heart attack in the past.

2. Be cautious when using snow blowers.

3. Dress warmly and in layers.

4. Hold the booze and caffeine.

5. Shovel a little bit at once and ease into it.

6. Protect your back.

7. Warm-up, hydrate and cool down.

How shovelling snow can 'shock' your heart

Digging yourself out after a large snowfall can be "a shock to the system," says Matthew Mayer, a senior specialist of research at the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.

"We know that most Canadians are inactive and in most cases unfit, and when we get these big snowfalls and go out shovelling, sometimes, the literal physical stress we put on our body is just too much."

A further look into this discusses how shovelling snow can "shock" your heart unless you are very fit.

Fit to be pregnant

Fit to be pregnant

Moderate exercise provides health benefits to moms-to-be and babies

Moderately-intense exercise while pregnant, in most cases, is safe and encouraged to support a healthy pregnancy.

"A normal pregnancy should be seen as a state of wellness," he says. "It is a time when a mother's healthy lifestyle choices affect not only her health, but that of her baby as well. A healthy diet and regular exercise help to maintain good physical and mental health throughout pregnancy."

CANADIAN FIRST-AID TRAINING Ltd. is offering Prenatal Education Classes beginning this fall - 2014.

Hockey teammates receive award for saving fellow player's life

Hockey teammates receive award for saving fellow player's life !!

"Two Winnipeg men who saved a teammate's life during a hockey game in December are being recognized by the city's fire department for their quick actions.

The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service awarded its first Citizen Recognition Award on Tuesday to Ron Klippenstein and Dan Szun, who came to the aid of Jim Kirby when he suffered a heart attack at the Glenwood Community Centre during a regular pickup game on Dec. 14.

Officials noted that the AED at the Glenwood Community Centre, which was donated by Crosstown Credit Union, had been used for one other medical emergency prior to Kirby's heart attack."


Thank you to the Heart and Stroke Foundation in Manitoba, Crosstown Civic Credit Union, Boston Pizza Foundation, etc.
