Health Is Vital

Health is taken for granted, until you can't any more. In this blog I hope to put down on paper some of the articles I come across and want to remember, about health. I will be personalizing these articles to apply to me. I am diabetic, over weight, have high blood pressure and tinnitus, so these are the things you will find here. I will include nutrition, exercise, and holistic health, and many other ideas. I work in the health profession, particularly mental health, and have an interest in suicide prevention; so these topics will also be covered in this blog. Please, if you are suffering reach out. Our county health and crisis line is 1-855-278-4204.

Friday is International Overdose Awareness Day.

This flyer has introduced me to Naloxone, a medication that can counteract the effects of opioid drug overdose.  Too late for the display at Farmer's Market, but not too late to remember the Overdoe Awareness Day.

August 31 is International Overdose Awareness Day.
Everyday, we see lives around us being changed and lost to
overdose. Overdose does not discriminate – it could be you or
someone you love, a friend, colleague or your neighbor.
Come join us to understand how this affects each one of us.
We will be providing educational resources and distributing
Naloxone, the life-saving opioid overdose medication.
