The full line of Honda trucks may all look different and be built for different purposes, but they have one thing

in common: Every Honda truck is built on a rigid unibody frame. And, a unibodyis stronger, safer, smoother, and

quieter-riding than traditional body-on-frame construction. After all, as good looking as Honda trucks are, its whats

inside that counts. Seethe Element, Pilot, Odyssey, Ridgeline and the all-new CR-V inside, and out, at honda.ca.

Heart disease and stroke continue

to be the leading cause of

death in Canadian men and

women today. The Heart and Stroke

Foundation has helped reduce the

death rate for heart disease and stroke

by 70 per cent in the past 50 years by

providing $1 billion in research support,

and yet one in three Canadian deaths is

still due to these devastating diseases

every year.

There is still so much more to do as

millions remain at risk. The Foundation

continues to invest in world-class

research to further medical advances,

effect social change and educate

Canadians, consumer and health

professional alike, on how to prevent

and manage heart disease and stroke.

Thats why the Foundation is currently

funding more than 900 researchers

and teams across Canada.These scientists are investigating

ways to prevent heart disease and

stroke through medical advances that

include research into the use of the

implantable pacemaker, development

of the artificial heart and pioneering the

use of a clot-busting drug that, when

accessed quickly, can actually reverse

the effects of stroke. We are one of the

leaders in developing and updating

the guidelines for Cardiopulmonary

Resuscitation (CPR) and promoting

public recommendations for the

management of high blood pressure.

The Foundation is working to reduce

the risks of heart disease and stroke in

Canada. For example, we know that

atherosclerosis is the primary cause

of these diseases. Atherosclerosis

is a progressive thickening and

narrowing of the blood vessel wall

caused by plaque buildup. High blood

pressure, high levels of cholesterol and

triglycerides in the blood, and smoking

can all contribute to the development

of plaque. Atherosclerosis is the major

cause of heart attack and stroke.

Using genetics, our researchers are

finding ways to predict risk factors that

lead to heart disease and stroke. Some

even foresee that within five to 10 yearswe could have new preventive therapy

for those who are at increased risk

helping our children and grandchildren

live longer, healthier lives.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation

has also identified obesity as a new key

area of research and strategic focus,

given the alarming increases in the

rates of obesity in Canada. Our work

encompasses schools, workplaces,

urban design and public policy. In

schools, for example, the emphasis is

currently focused on healthy eating and

physical activity.

Our researchers are also looking into

what constitutes a heart-healthy diet.

Last year, the Foundation worked with

Health Canada on the Trans Fat Task

Force to create a set of recommenda-

tions to effectively eliminate heart-

clogging trans fats from our food supply.

Those are just some of the

Foundations results that may change

and save your life.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation is committed to achieving results that change lives

Defibrillators save lives

In Canada, 35,000 to 45,000 die each year as a result

of cardiac arrest. Thats why the Heart and Stroke

Foundation is advocating to increase the number of

Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in public

places such as hockey arenas and airports. New AEDs

make it possible for even non-medical personnel to

restore heart rhythm and life. An AED is a machine

that can monitor heart rhythms. It can tell if the heart has

stopped beating effectively. If required, the machine

can then deliver an electric shock to the heart. Most of

the time, this shock will restart the heart. Defibrillationimproves survival rates by up to 50 per cent if delivered

in the first few minutes. With each passing minute, the

probability of survival declines by seven to 10 per cent.

Making defibrillators easily accessible has the potential

to save thousands of lives.

Your heart is a muscle that gets energy from blood that

carries oxygen and nutrients. Having a constant supply of

blood keeps your heart working properly. Most people think

of heart disease as one condition, but in fact, heart disease is

a group of conditions affecting the structure and functions of

the heart and has many root causes. Coronary artery disease,for example, develops when a combination of fatty materials,

calcium and scar tissue (called plaque) builds up in the arteries

that supply blood to your heart. The plaque buildup narrows

the arteries and prevents the heart from getting enough

blood. This is known as atherosclerosis. Other heart conditions

include angina (chest pain), arrhythmia (irregular heart beats),

cardiomyopathy (disease of the heart muscle), among others.

Learn more about different types of heart disease, surgeries

and medications atwww.heartandstroke.ca

What you can do to prevent heart disease

Heart disease is preventable and manageable. Your best

defence is controlling the risk factors such as high blood

pressure and cholesterol that could lead to coronary artery

disease. You can further reduce your risk by considering these

heart-healthy steps:

Be smoke-free

Be physically active 30 to 60 minutes a day, most days of

the week

Know and control your blood pressure and cholesterol

Eat a healthy diet that is lower in saturated and trans fat

Achieve and maintain a healthy weight

Manage your diabetes

Limit alcohol use

Reduce stress

Visit your doctor regularly and follow your doctors advice

Cardiac arrest is not a heart attack

When a person stops breathing and the heart stops beating,

the condition is called cardiac arrest. A heart attack, on the

other hand, is when the blood supply to the heart is slowedor stopped because of a blockage. Cardiac arrest may have a

variety of causes heart attack, drowning, stroke, electrocution,

suffocation, drug overdose, motor vehicle or other injury. If

you find an adult, child or infant who is not breathing, you

must act quickly. Protect your loved ones learn what to do

in an emergency situation. Recognize the signs of cardiac

arrest, call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number, and take a

training course in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). The

Heart and Stroke Foundation is at the forefront of setting CPR

guidelines and training personnel across Canada.

Thousands of Canadians die from heart attacks every year because they dont getmedical treatment quickly enough. The Heart and Stroke Foundation strongly urges

Canadians to learn how to recognize the signals of a heart attack so you can reactquickly to save a life.

A normal heart is a strong muscular pump. It weighs between

200 and 425 grams and is a little larger than the size of your

fist. Over the course of a day, the average heart beats about

100,000 times, pumping about 7,200 liters of blood.

Your heart sits between your lungs in the middle of your

chest, behind and slightly to the left of your breastbone. Tofunction, your heart needs a continuous supply of oxygen

and nutrients, which it gets from the blood that is pumped

through the coronary arteries.

When the blood supply to the heart is slowed or stopped

If you are experiencing any of these warning

someone call for you. Keep a list of

emergency numbers near the phone

at all times.

Stop all activity and sit or lie down,

whatever position is most

comfortable.

If you take nitroglycerin, take your

normal dosage.

If you are experiencing chest pain, chew

and swallow one adult 325 mg ASA tablet

(acetylsalicylic acid, commonly referred to as

Aspirin) or two 80 mg tablets. Pain

medicines such as acetaminophen (Tylenol)

or ibuprofen (Advil) do not work the same

way as ASA (Aspirin) and therefore willnot help in the emergency situation

because of a blockage, a heart attack occurs. Atherosclerosis,

the narrowing of coronary arteries due to plaque buildup,

causes more than 90 per cent of heart attacks. A heart attack

may also occur when a coronary artery temporarily contracts

or goes into a severe spasm, effectively shutting off the flow

of blood to the heart. The length of time the blood supplyis cut off will determine the amount of damage to the heart.

Some heart attacks may not affect the hearts functioning, but

others may interfere with its ability to pump blood effectively.

Sometimes a heart attack leads to cardiac arrest.

Lets get to the heart of it.

Lately were hearing more about the role good fats play in a healthy diet, especiallyOmega 6 and 3 fatty acids. Research suggests a link between these good fats and

lowered blood pressure and cholesterol levels. But our bodies cant produce these fats

on their own, so we must get them in our daily diet. One way of doing this is by adding

So Good Omega to your daily meal plan. The source for our Omega 6 and 3 fatty acids

is flaxseed oil, and we add in the optimal ratio of 2:1. So Good Omega comes

in our two most popular varieties, Original and Vanilla. Theyre great on your breakfast

cereal, in a smoothie or shake, or enjoyed just on their own. So try So Good Omega

and take a step forward to good heart health.

A stroke is a sudden loss of brain

function. It is caused by the interruption

of blood flow to the brain by a blood

clot (ischemic stroke) or the rupture of

blood vessels in the brain (hemorrhagic

stroke). The interruption of blood flowcauses brain cells (neurons) in the

affected area to die. The effects of a

stroke depend on where the brain was

injured, as well as how much damage

occurred. A stroke can impact any

number of areas including your ability

to move, see, remember, speak, reason,

read and write. In a small number of

cases, stroke-like damage to the brain

can occur when the heart stops (cardiac

arrest). The longer the brain goes

without oxygen and nutrients supplied

by the blood flow, the greater the risk of

permanent brain damage.

Stroke warning signsStroke is a medical emergency. When

you recognize and respond immediately

to the warning signs of stroke by calling

9-1-1 or your local emergency number,

you can significantly improve survival

and recovery. If a person arrives at a

hospital emergency immediately after

experiencing any or all of the stroke

warning signs, and if the patient is

diagnosed with a stroke caused by a

blood clot, then doctors can administer

a clot-busting drug called tPA but

only within three hours of the initial

symptoms. Thrombolytic drugs like tPAcan effectively improve the outcome of

a stroke by potentially minimizing the

physical and mental damage. Yet only

20 to 25 per cent of those who have

a stroke actually get emergency care

and treatment within three hours of the

onset of symptoms the critical time

frame during which clot-busting drugs

are most effective.

Stroke can be treated. Thats why it is so important to recognize and respond to thewarning signs immediately.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation encourages Canadians to learn about what

constitute healthy blood pressure readings, cholesterol levels and lifestyle habits.

Heres a guide to help you learn the basics and get on track to a healthy heart.

Blood pressureAn optimal blood pressure reading is

below 120/80 mm Hg. Get your blood

pressure checked at least once every

two years or more often if recommended

by your healthcare provider. If youve

been diagnosed with high-normal

blood pressure (130/85 to 139/89), new

Canadian guidelines recommend that

you have your blood pressure checked

at least once a year.

Body Mass Index (BMI)A healthy body mass index ranges

between 18.5 and 24.9 kg/m2.

Calculate your BMI by dividing your

weight by your height squared. For

example, if you weigh 69 kg and youre

1.73 m tall, the calculation would look

like this: 69 divided by 2.99 (1.73 X 1.73)

= a BMI of 23. If your BMI is higher

than 25, speak to your doctor about

achieving a healthy weight. Find a BMIcalculator at www.heartandstroke.ca

Waist circumferenceFor optimal heart health, women should

have a waist circumference less than 88

cm (35 inches), and men should have

a waist circumference less than 102

cm (40 inches). If your measurement is

greater than those numbers, you may

be at significantly higher risk for heart

disease. Speak to your healthcare

provider to get your blood pressure andcholesterol checked.

Cholesterol levelsThe Heart and Stroke Foundation

recommends that men over 40 and

women over 50 have their cholesterol

checked. However, if you have any risk

factors for heart disease and stroke

(high blood pressure or smoking), you

may need to have your cholesterol

tested at an earlier age. Talk to your

doctor, who will establish a target level

for you based on your personal risk

factors, taking into account your age,

total cholesterol level, smoking status,

and systolic blood pressure, among

other factors.

Heart-healthy dietVegetables and fruit:Have vegetables

and fruit at every meal and snack.

Choose orange (sweet potatoes, squash,

carrots) and dark-green vegetables

(Romaine lettuce, broccoli, asparagus)

and colourful fruit to get the mostnutrients. The number of servings of

vegetables and fruit you need depends

on your age and gender. The range for

adults is seven to 10 a day.

Grain products:Aim for most of your

bread, cereal, pasta and rice servings to

be 100 per cent whole grain.

Milk and alternatives:Choose lower-fat

milk, soy beverages, yogurt and cheese

whenever possible.

Meat and alternatives: Limit consumption

of meat and try to get your protein fromalternative sources such as fish (at least

twice a week), beans and nuts whenever

possible.

Fibre:25 to 35 grams a day for those 19

to 65 years of age.

Total fat: 20 to 35 per cent of daily

calories. This is about 45 to 75 grams for

women and 60 to 105 grams for men. A

tablespoon (15 mL) of oil has 14 gramsof fat. Keep your intake of trans and

saturated fat as low as possible while

consuming a nutritionally adequate

diet. Read labels for trans fat content.

Aim for less than two grams per serving.

Better yet, opt for products that have

zero trans fat. Saturated fat is found in

high-fat meat and dairy products.

Salt intake: The Heart and Stroke

Foundation recommends Canadians

consume no more that 2,300 mg (the

equivalent of about 1 tsp/ 5mL) of salt

a day total from processed foods and

salt added during food preparation

and at the table. Look for the sodium

values in the Nutrition Fact tables on

food packages and in recipe nutrient

analyses. If you have high blood

pressure, consult your physician for

specific dietary recommendations.

Alcohol: No more than one to two

drinks a day, for a maximum total of

nine for women and 14 for men a week.A standard drink is 341 mL/12 oz (1

bottle) of regular strength beer, 142 mL

/ 5 oz wine, and 43 mL / 1 1/2 oz spirits.

These recommendations do not apply

to pregnant or breastfeeding women,

those with liver disease, mental illness

or taking medications, among others.

Physical activityMen and women should get 30 to 60

minutes a day, most days of the week.

TobaccoDo not smoke or use any tobacco

products. Avoid exposure to second-

hand smoke.

Is Body Mass Index (BMI) the only

reliable method of determining whether

youre overweight? Heart and Stroke

Foundation research indicates that for

most people, the humble measuring

tape alone may provide an easier way

to determine health risk.

According to Heart and Stroke

Foundation researchers, Drs. Peter

Katzmarzyk and Robert Ross, measuring

waist circumference is simpler than

calculating BMI. Whats more, they

point out that because fat around the

waist is so hazardous to heart health,

measuring waist circumference may

actually provide a more accurate

method of self-assessment.

Canadian adults intimidated by the

calculations involved in determining

BMI will likely greet this news with a

cheer. All you need to know is howto read a measuring tape. Men are

at significant increased risk for heart

disease if their waist circumference is at

102 cm (40 inches) or greater; women

are at significant increased risk if their

measurement is 88 cm (35 inches) or more.

Are you an apple or a pear?Most people fit one of two body shapes

they are either apples or pears. Pear-

shaped people, usually women, carry

excess weight on their hips, thighsand buttocks. Apple-shaped people,

usually males, have big bellies and

extra weight across the waistline, says

Dr. Katzmarzyk. For reasons that we

dont yet fully understand, fat across

the waistline as in the classic apple-

shape is processed differently by theliver. This results in higher levels of bad

(LDL) cholesterol, which is a major risk

factor for heart disease and stroke.

The apple-shape is also associated with

high blood pressure (hypertension)

and diabetes, both of which are heart

disease risk factors.

In light of this knowledge, says

Dr. Katzmarzyk, waist circumference

becomes even more important, not just

to characterize those at risk but also as a

simple tool to measure the effectiveness

of weight loss strategies. An initial

target of a five per cent to 10 per cent

loss in waist circumference or overallweight is reasonable and associated

with health benefits. However, although

fat cells around the waist are the most

dangerous, the good news is they also

appear to be the easiest to shed. A study

of pre-menopausal, overweight women,

conducted by Dr. Ross and published

in Obesity Research found a program

of physical activity could substantially

reduce abdominal fat. This underlies

the conflicting media reports we have

been getting about what counts mostfor heart health fitness or weight loss,

says Dr. Ross. It also explains recent

findings that overweight people who are

physically active can have better overall

health than slimmer people who weigh

less but are less physically active. You

can achieve significant health benefitsby reducing the waist measurement and

this begins even before you start losing

weight, says Dr. Ross. BMI doesnt tell

you that.

The mighty tape measureAnother study conducted by the two

researchers and published in the

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition,

which included almost 15,000 study

subjects, compared BMI and waist

circumference as tools for identifying and

measuring heart-health risk and found

waist circumference measurements

were either superior, or equal to BMI.

While Drs. Ross and Katzmarzyk sayBMI still has an important role to play

in risk assessment, they believe it may

be most accurate when used by health

professionals in combination with waist

circumference measurement.

Health Canada recently launched Eating Well with Canadas Food Guideto help

Canadians consume a healthy diet. The new guide not only reorganizes the four

food groups with a new emphasis on vegetables and fruit, but it also now provides

the recommended number of servings per day according to age and gender,among many other changes.

The Heart and Stroke Foundations

dietitians know that making healthy food

choices in the grocery store isnt always

easy, particularly when you consider

the number of nutrition messages and

labels on food packages these days.

There is one logo, however, that stands

out from the rest.

The Health Check symbol means

that Heart&Stroke dietitians haveevaluated each participating product

to make sure it meets specific nutrient

criteria based on Canadas Food Guide.

The dietitians work with a variety of

small and large food companies to

review their products based on total fat,

saturated fat, fibre, sodium, calcium and

vitamins and minerals, depending on

the category. As the only non-exclusive,

third-party food information program in

Canada, Health Check includes more

than 120 brands and more than 1,000products found in virtually every food

aisle. Next time youre in the grocery

store, let Health Check be your tour

guide to Canadas Food Guide.

Restaurants are also looking for

ways to help their customers identify

healthy choices. Health Checkrecently

expanded its food service program to

include Swiss Chalet restaurants across

Canada and White Spot restaurants in

western Canada. Look for the HealthCheck symbol located next to menu

items.

To help you make the most of the

Food Guide, the Heart and Stroke

Foundations Health Check program

has created a new section on its website

(www.healthcheck.org) called Canadas

Food Guide Tools. The section includes

weekly meal planning, food shopping

and meal preparation. Each section

includes a variety of simple and helpful

tools you can use online and downloadfor easy access.

Meal planning The Heart and Stroke

Foundation suggests that you plan your

meals for the week to save you time and

help you meet your familys nutritional

needs. Weve created a helpful mix-n-

match meal chart that you can post in

your kitchen for easy reference.

Food shoppingBy building a shopping

list, you can simplify your next trip to the

grocery store. Start adding ingredientsnow and bring it with you next time

you shop. When youre shopping, look

at the Nutrition Fact table on every

product and remember that the nutrient

information listed is for the specified

serving size.

Meal preparationWith a meal plan and

a shopping list, making healthy meals is

now easier than ever. Need a few extra

ideas for lunch or dinner? Health Check

has a growing assortment of healthy

recipes to prepare tasty and nutritiousmeals.

Who knew?

In 70%of cases genital herpes is transmitted whenthere are no visible signs or symptoms.*

Im very careful, and I always thought I was doing everything possible to protect my girlfriend from genital

herpes. But when I learned that I could be contagious even when I dont have symptoms, I was shocked.

I asked my doctor, and he explained that genital herpes is transmitted through something called viral shedding.

Too small to be seen, viral shedding can happen anytime, anywhere in the boxer short area of my body.Thanks to my doctor I now know that I can do more to reduce my risk of passing it on.

* Based on a clinical study to determine the risk of spreading genital herpes (GH) in 144 heterosexual couples in which one partner had GH, and the other did not. Couples were followed for a median334 days and were counselled to abstain from skin to skin contact in the presence of lesions. Couples were educated on the potential protection offered by condoms during periods when there wereno visible signs or symptoms.

THERE ARE MOREWAYS TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TRANSMITTING

GENITAL HERPES THAN YOU MAY REALIZE.

ASK YOUR DOCTOR.
