Flyer: September Edition (PDF)
Life today is complicated. Most Americans are pulled in multiple directions every day by commitments to their families, workplaces and communities.
Many people have responded to the pressures of modern life by seeking ways to consciously simplify their routines and attitudes at home and work.
“The goal of living a more simple life isn’t to arrive at a static point in your life but to become skilled at balancing
your personal relationships, workplace issues, finances and other demands,” says Heather G. Mitchener, coauthor
of The 50 Best Ways to Simplify Your Life.

Cholesterol Education Month
Cholesterol Education Month is observed annually in September and is dedicated to raising awareness about cholesterol, its impact on health, and the importance of managing cholesterol levels to prevent heart disease and other related conditions. This initiative helps to educate you about the risks associated with high cholesterol and the steps you can take to maintain healthy levels.
Why is Cholesterol Education Month Important?
- Heart Disease Prevention: High cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease. Education about cholesterol helps you understand its role in cardiovascular health and encourages preventive measures.
- Promotes Early Detection: High cholesterol often has no symptoms and many people may not know they have it. This month emphasizes the importance of regular screenings and check-ups to detect issues early.
- Encourages Healthy Lifestyle Choices: This campaign highlights the importance of a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking to maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
- Dispels Myths: This month helps clarify the difference between “good” cholesterol (HDL) and “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and educates people on how to manage both effectively.
- Taking Control of Your Health: Make informed decisions about your health and take proactive steps to reduce your risk of cholesterol-related conditions with the resources and tools provided this month.
