❤️ February is American Heart Month❤️

Maintaining blood sugar is one of the key health factors in heart health. Healthy blood glucose supports your brain, kidneys, and heart. Blood sugar that’s too low can cause fatigue or dizziness, while consistently high levels over time may lead to prediabetes or diabetes. Keeping blood sugar in a healthy range helps protect your overall health.

❤️ February is American Heart Month❤️

Managing blood pressure is one of the key health factors in heart health. Nearly half of U.S. adults have high blood pressure, the #1 preventable risk factor for heart disease.

❤️ February is American Heart Month❤️

Controlling cholesterol is one of the key health factors in heart health. High levels of non-HDL, or “bad,” cholesterol can increase your risk for heart disease. Your healthcare professional may focus on non-HDL cholesterol rather than total cholesterol because it can be measured without fasting and provides a reliable picture of heart health for most people.

GCHD in Action: Preparedness & Collaboration

Galveston County Health District attended the Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) Tabletop Exercise in Orange County alongside local, regional, and state partners.
