F
ebruary is Heart Disease Awareness Month and a time for
women and men to focus on heart protection. Coronary artery
disease in the leading cause of death in the United States and
Europe, with stroke shortly behind it as the third leading cause
of death in the United States. It is important to be familiar with
the signs of a heart attack or stroke in order to receive medical
attention early, when the chances of survival are the greatest.
Heart attack warning signs may include:

* Chest discomfort lasting more than a few minutes (or discomfort that
goes away and returns)

* Discomfort in the upper body (such as in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach)

* Shortness of breath, with or without chest discomfort

* Other signs, such as breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or light-headedness
Stroke warning signs may include:

* Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body

* Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding

* Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes

* Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination

* Sudden, severe headache with no known cause

A
survey by the American Heart Association noted that women tend to underestimate the threat of
heart disease, mistakenly believing that they are more likely to develop breast cancer than heart
disease. Over 500,000 (one-half million) American women die of heart disease each year. Tis is twice
the number of deaths from all cancer combined.
I
t is important to note that women and men may experience diferent symptoms of heart attack. Both
men and women are likely experience pin/squeezing in middle of the chest; shooting pain/numbness
in the lef arm; and/or sweating/nausea. However, women are more likely to experience pain in the
back, neck, or other areas; exhaustion/shortness of breath; stomach upset/indigestion; and/or feelings
of anxiety.
M
any of the risk factors for heart disease are the same for women and men. Tese risk factors
include: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, high fat diet, excessive weight, lack of
physical activity, smoking, and a family history of heart disease. However, other risk factors for women
include menopause (specifcally, loss of estrogen at this time) and the use of oral contraceptives among
smokers or those with high blood pressure.
W
hile no preventive measure can eliminate the chances of developing heart disease, the U.S.
government has revised its guidelines in recent years in an efort to aggressively treat and
prevent heart disease in millions of Americans. In addition to more emphasis on low-fat diets and
exercise, the guidelines call for an increase in the number of people that need to take cholesterol-
lowering drugs from 13 million Americans to an estimated 36 million.

Awareness Month
Lincoln Goes Green
The 123s of Plastic Containers
Shopping Tips
Plastics are classifed by their "resin identifcation code"a 1.
number from #1 to #7 that represents a diferent type of resin. Tat
number is usually imprinted on the bottom of your container; fip it
upside down, and you'll see a recycling triangle with the number in the
middle.
When purchasing cling-wrapped food from the supermarket or 2.
deli, slice of a thin layer where the food came into contact with the plastic and store the rest in a
glass or ceramic container or wrap it in non-PVC cling wrap.
Usage Tips
Avoid storing fatty foods, such as meat and cheese, in plastic containers or plastic wrap. 1.
Hand-wash reusable containers gently with a nonabrasive soap; dishwashers and harsh 2.
detergents can scratch plastic, making hospitable homes for bacteria.
A "microwave-safe" or "microwavable" label on a plastic container only means that it 3.
shouldn't melt, crack or fall apart when used in the microwave. Te label is no guarantee that
containers don't leach chemicals into foods when heated. Use glass or ceramic containers instead.

New Door Lock Installation
T
he Maintenance Department at Lemoore Naval Air Station is about to begin the installation
of new passage door locks (exterior only) on all homes managed by
Lincoln Military Housing. Tis will insure that all homes and all keys
managed by Lincoln match each address. Lincoln Military Housing
maintains an electronic data base of all keys to all residences for our
residents protection. Tis procedure is necessary to insure accuracy.

A
schedule for this procedure is being formulated at this time. Your
District Ofce will be distributing fyers to neighborhoods to insure
all residents are aware of when your new door locks will be installed. Lincoln anticipates that the
process will take about 1.5 hours per home and the entire family housing area should be completed in
approximately 9-12 months. We anticipate that installations will begin sometime in February 2009.

O
nce a formal schedule is completed and details are fnalized, each resident will be notifed when
their locks will be replaced. You will be issued a new set of keys once the Lincoln Technician
has completed the installation of the new locks in your home.

P
lease feel free to contact your District ofce if you have any questions related to the
installation.
