Today is #StressAwarenessDay

Today is #GreatAmericanSmokeout; an annual event sponsored by the American Cancer Society (ACS). People are challenged to stop smoking for at least 24 hours assuming that their decision not to smoke will last longer, hopefully forever.
Although the cigarette smoking rate has dropped significantly, from 42% in 1965 to 14% in 2017, there are more than 34 million Americans who still smoke cigarettes, which causes an estimated 480,000 deaths every year, or about 1 in 5 deaths.
Quitting smoking improves health immediately and over the long term – at any age!

January is National Blood Donor Month. The Red Cross shares these facts on why donating blood is so important and effective: Type O negative blood (red cells) can be transfused to patients of all blood types. Only 7% of people in the U.S. have type O negative blood. AB positive blood donors are universal donors of plasma. Only 3% of people in the U.S. have AB positive blood. A single car accident victim can require as many as 100 pints of blood. Blood donation is a simple four-step process: registration, medical history and mini-physical, donation, and refreshments. Donating blood is a safe process. A sterile needle is used only once for each donor and then discarded. The actual blood donation typically takes less than 10-12 minutes. The entire process, from the time you arrive to the time you leave, takes about an hour and 15 minutes. https://www.ispecimen.com/blog/fast-facts-national-blood-donor-month/
