Go Red for Heart Month
The Believer
By Tori Couch
Greystone is committed to healthy,
worthy and impactful causes. We are proud to
support the American Heart Association's Go
Red For Women initiative and National Heart
Month.
This February, Greystone kicks of the Go
Red Survivor Gallery, a traveling gallery of
heart issue survivors featuring Greystone's
own associates. Traveling through the Tampa
Bay and St. Petersburg area, the gallery
showcases women who have dealt with heart
attacks, arrhythmia (dangerously rapid heart
rate), and battled through heart conditions
from birth.
Many women may be unaware of
potential heart attack signs which differ greatly
from men. Often misdiagnosed, women's
symptoms include:
 Chest discomfort or upper body pain in the
back, shoulders, arms, stomach, jaw, neck
or throat
 Lightheadedness or dizziness
 Nausea or vomiting
 Inability to sleep or unusual fatigue
 Shortness of breath or trouble breathing

As the 2015 Go Red Tampa Bay Chair,
Connie Bessler, CEO of Greystone Healthcare
Management, is raising awareness and support
for women's heart health. "Through education
we can highlight the different ways heart
concerns can manifest themselves and
encourage better care and safety. A number
one killer of women, we must be constantly
vigilant against such a serious – and often
overlooked – health concern."

Ms. Dolores worked as a

A Happy Heart
Having an upbeat outlook on life makes a big difference when it comes to
heart health, a new study found. In fact, research at the University of Illinois
discovered that people with an optimistic attitude toward life were twice as likely
as their more pessimistic counterparts to have the best cardiovascular health
even when socio-demographic factors and poor mental health were taken into
consideration.
Analysts assessed the cardiovascular health of more than 5,100 people based on blood pressure,
body mass index, fasting plasma glucose and serum cholesterol levels, dietary intake, physical
activity and tobacco use. Individuals were given up to two points for each metric, with 14 being the
best score.
The participants, between 45 and-84 years old, also filled out surveys about their mental health,
attitude and physical condition. Researchers found that people who were the most upbeat were at
least 50 percent more likely to have health scores in the intermediate range.
The study found an even stronger association between optimism and cardiovascular health with
factors such as age, race and ethnicity, income and education were taken in effect. People who were
the most optimistic were twice as likely to have ideal cardiovascular health. Optimists had
significantly better blood sugar and total cholesterol levels than their counterparts. They were more
physically active, had better body mass indexes and were less likely to smoke, according to a paper,
published in the journal Health Behavior and Policy Review.

February, along with
January, was added to the
Roman calendar by Numa
Pompilius when the
calendar was extended from
10 to 12 months (around 700
BC). February takes its name
from the Latin word
februare, which means “to
purify.” The Romans purified
themselves in February, a
ritual undertaken in
preparation for the arrival of
spring. The Anglo-Saxons
called the month Solmonath, meaning “cakemonth,” because cakes were
offered to the gods during
the month. In Spanish,
February is Febrero. In
French, it is Fevrier, and in
German, it is Februar.
February Weather Folklore
It is said that if the weather
is fair and mild in
January and at the beginning
of February, there is
more winter ahead than
behind. In general, it is
not good news if February is
warm. Besides

Popular practices on Mardi Gras include wearing masks
and costumes, overturning social conventions, dancing,
sports competitions, parades, debauchery, etc. Similar
expressions to Mardi Gras appear in other European
languages sharing the Christian tradition, as it is associated
with the religious requirement for confession before Lent
begins. In many areas, the term "Mardi Gras" has come to
mean the whole period of activity related to the
celebratory events, beyond just the single day. In some
American cities, it is now called "Mardi Gras Day". It also
has become a single people's counter to the coupledcentric Valentine's Day.
The festival season varies from city to city, as some
traditions consider Mardi Gras the entire period between
Epiphany or Twelfth Night and Ash Wednesday. Others
treat the final three-day period before Ash Wednesday as
the Mardi Gras. In Mobile, Alabama, Mardi Grasassociated social events begin in November, followed by
mystic society balls on Thanksgiving, then New Year's Eve,
followed by parades and balls in January and February,
celebrating up to midnight before Ash Wednesday. In
earlier times, parades were held on New Year's Day. Other
cities famous for Mardi Gras celebrations include Rio de
Janeiro; Barranquilla, Colombia; Port of Spain, Trinidad and
Tobago; Quebec City, Canada; Mazatlán and Sinaloa,
Mexico; New Orleans, Louisiana; and Mobile, Alabama
Carnival is an important celebration in Anglican and
Catholic European nations.[6] In the United Kingdom and
Ireland, the week before Ash Wednesday is called
"shrovetide", ending on Shrove Tuesday. It has its popular
celebratory aspects, as well. Pancakes are a traditional
food. Pancakes and related fried breads or pastries made
with sugar, fat, and eggs
are also traditionally
consumed at this time in
many parts of Latin
America and the
Caribbean.
