You may know St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital was founded with the specific goal of curing cancer in children, but there’s probably a whole lot more about it you don’t know.
Valentine's Day may be over, but that doesn't mean you have to take down all of your heart decorations yet. February is also American Heart Month, so keep gluing glitter to pink construction paper while you educate yourself on all the ways to make sure your future is heart-disease-free.
To get you started, we've answered five big questions about heart health below.
You listen to weather updates so you know how to dress. You wash your hands so you don't get the flu. You wear your seatbelt to keep you safe in the car. You are a prevention machine. But are you working to prevent the number one cause of death for both men and women, heart disease? For American Heart Month, we're focusing on ways to avoid this preventable disease. If you want to keep your heart healthy, one of the best things you can do is weekly aerobic activity. Here are five exercises to keep your heart strong:
February 8, 2013 Jack Andraka won the Gordon E. Moore award from Intel in May 2012 with his cancer detecting method at the young age of 15! Andraka explains he had an uncle who passed away from Pancreatic Cancer and that's when his interest in the field began. His technique he says is 168 times faster, over 26,000 times less expensive, and over 400 times more sensitive allowing detection before the disease becomes invasive. Remarkable!
February 6, 2013 The video is meant to promote regular self checkups for breast cancer. There is a shower scene, closeups, and and lots of shirtlessness! Oh and it's an advertisement for some sort of app on your phone. Hesitant? Just watch it and see for yourself!

February is American Heart Month, which is a good time to take stock of your ticker to make sure you’re doing all you can to remain healthy and happy.

January 28, 2013 Interesting stuff. I love stuff like this, but it also scares me a bit!
January 15, 2013 Have you come down with flu like symptoms yet? I've been lucky enough to avoid the bug so far. Flu.gov advises everyone over 6 months to get one each year. If you are thinking of heading their advice, I've compiled a list of places and prices for flu shots or nasal spray vaccines in Bozeman.
Unless you’ve been hiding out under the covers shivering, nursing a fever and clutching your achy bones, you probably know this has been a brutal flu season.
What you may not know is there are measures you can take to avoid the flu -- and most of them are pretty darned simple. So, what are they?
January 12, 2013 My husband tells me I'm going to have a heart attack because I don't have an unspoken thought or emotion, and let my anger out too often (mostly at bad drivers.) Turns out I may be doing something right!
