​Are you practicing good heart health? Getting tested and knowing your cholesterol number, is an important step toward a healthy heart. A cholesterol screening measures your level of HDL and LDL. HDL is the good cholesterol which helps keep the LDL, or bad cholesterol, from getting lodged into your artery walls. Too much of one type or not enough of another can put you at risk for Coronary Heart Disease, Heart Attack, or Stroke.

Drug overdoses are now the #1 cause of unintentional deaths. The main reason of these deaths are prescription opioids, heroin, and fentanyl.
Even when taking prescribed opioids as directed, you could build up a tolerance. Some people find it easy to stop taking opioids while others find it harder to quit. Those who find it harder to quit may develop an opioid use disorder. Over 50% percent of people who have misused prescription opioids reported getting them from friends or relatives. People that develop an opioid use disorder are more likely to die of drug overdose.
