Did you know
February is American Heart Month? Heart disease is the number 1 killer of both men
and women in the United States, so learning how to keep our hearts healthy is
very important. Here at your West Lakes Hy-Vee, we are hosting events each week
throughout the month in order to provide heart-healthy nutrition information.
Keep reading below to learn more!
Week One – February 8 – 8:00-11:00 a.m.
HEART HEALTH BUS EVENT - FREE
Your
West Lakes Hy-Vee will be offering FREE biometric screenings on
Thursday, February 8, from 8:00 to 11:00 a.m. The bus will be located
just outside of the Wine and Spirits section of our store. Your West Lakes
Hy-Vee dietitians, Amanda and Melissa, will be doing the screenings. Walk-ins
are welcome, but pre-registration is suggested in order to guarantee your spot
as we are limited to 20 free screenings. Join us for this event if you are
interested in learning your cholesterol and blood glucose values, blood
pressure, body fat percentage and additional measurements. It is important to
be fasting for this event because any food or drink (other than water) will
interfere with results.
