Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention

Posted by My H.A.L.O. on April 5, 2010 at 6:33pm

Did you know that April is National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention month.? Statistics show that someone is sexually assault every 2 minutes (120 seconds). Think about how short a time 120 seconds is. There are 24 hours in one day and withon one hour, there are 60 minutes, This means that there are 1440 minutes in one day (24 x 60). If someone is sexually assaulted every 2 minutes, that means 720 assaults in a 24 hour day. WOW, what an ugly statistic. Rape is about power. It is the power to overrule a person. It is not gender, race or age specific. We need to education ourselves and those around us on how to watch for the signs and what to do in the event we or someone we know becomes a victim. Please visit www.myhaloonline.com and listen to us on 05/16/10 as we speak with Candidly Candace about sexual assault and My H.A.L.O. (My Healing After Life Overturns)

Could You Be At Risk For Diabetes

Posted by Dana Hickles on August 28, 2009 at 12:10pm

Your body naturally gives you many messages. It also tries to alert you in trouble situations, such as symptoms of pre-diabetes. The development of type 2 diabetes is almost always preceded by pre-diabetes. Pre-diabetes is a condition where the body's blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not yet at the level to qualify for diabetes. If left untreated, pre-diabetes can cause long-term damage to the body, especially to the hear and ciculatory system. This is a serious medical condition; however, if detected in time, it can be treated and possibly reversed.Early detection is very important. If left untreated, diabetes can damage organs throughout the body, causing many serious medical problems such as blindness, kidney disease, nerve disease, limb amputations and cardiovascular disease. That makes early detection essential for the millions of Americans who have diabetes and don't even know it. Age, obesity, ethnicity and family history of the disease are some of the warning signs you should know about. If you possess, or someone you know possesses, these characteristics, be sure to ask your doctor for high blood glucose.According to the Diabetes Prevention Program, high-risk adults who follow a low-fat, low-calorie diet and who engage in moderate physical activities such as walking briskly or riding a bike, have a much lower risk of developing diabetes than people who do not exercise regularly. They may even be able to return their blood glucose levels to the normal range. The Diabetes Prevention Program also explains that while some medications may delay the development of diabetes, diet and exercise together are more effective.
