Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. Every year, 1 in 4 deaths are caused by heart disease.
The good news? Heart disease can often be prevented when people make healthy choices and manage their health conditions. Making small changes in your daily routine can add up to big benefits and help you live a healthier, more balanced life.

In January 2009, Mr. Teater joined the National Safety Council after their call for a nationwide ban on all forms of cell phone use while driving. From 2009-2015, Mr. Teater led the NSC's advocacy efforts to reduce fatalities and injuries resulting from distracted driving.
Net proceeds from GLSTC's Annual Meeting will help support the Safety for Kids Program. This program funds scholarships for students pursuing a trade or degree with an emphasis on safety.

Managing Workplace Stress
|
The reasons for workplace stress can seem completely out of your control. Some are, and some are not. With preparation and coping strategies, you can help eliminate some of the stress and have a healthy, productive work-life balance.
Ways to reduce your stress level:
1. Think about what is causing the stressful situation and find a solution
2. Get help - talk to your manager, your doctor, a family member or friend
3. Get enough sleep - seven to nine hours a night helps restore your mental and physical energy
4. Eat healthy - fruits and vegetables, lean protein, whole grains and limit sugar
5. Exercise for 30 minutes a day - pick an exercise that fits your life style
6. Leave your work at work - your personal time should be spent that way
7.
Plan a getaway - Use all your vacation time, you've earned it
By maintaining these healthy habits, you can make your body and mind more resilient, and better able to deal with the stressful events that come your way.
