START Being Heart Smart!

Heart disease and stroke are two of the leading health risks in America today. Here's your opportunity to help change that statistic.

Join CBS 2 News This Morning's Co-Anchor, Kate Sullivan, with CBS 2 HD and the American Heart Association for the 2009 Start! Wall Street Run and Heart Walk. Start! is the AHA's newest campaign that helps Americans create a culture of physical activity and health to live longer, heart-healthy lives.

CBS 2 HD encourages you to start taking better care of yourself now and you'll be able to keep healthcare costs down and be with your loved ones longer. You'll also feel a lot better on an everyday basis. Learn about what you can do to in order to improve your quality of life.

Did you know…
-- Nearly 2,400 Americans die from cardiovascular disease and stroke each day. These continue to be nation's No. 1 and 3 killers.
-- 142 million American adults – 66 percent of Americans – are overweight.
-- Start! opens the door for sustained change in corporate culture. Rising healthcare costs and loss in employee productivity have corporate America seeking solutions to improve their employees' health. Start! includes a Fit-Friendly Companies Recognition Program that officially recognizes employers that champion the health of their employees.
-- Only 30.1 percent of the American population engages in regular leisure-time physical activity (meaning that 70 percent of people do no regular physical activity), which is defined as light-moderate activity for more than 30 minutes 5 times a week, or vigorous activity for more than 20 minutes three times a week.
-- Physical inactivity is a major risk factor for heart disease, and is comparable to high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure or cigarette smoking.
-- Walking can have a positive impact on a person's overall health. Brisk walking for 30 minutes a day can reduce the risk of stroke, high cholesterol (LDL) levels and high blood pressure.
-- Studies show that for every one hour of regular vigorous exercise, you could gain two more hours of life expectancy.
-- Americans are working an astonishing 164 more hours per year than 20 years ago.
-- This year over 1 million walkers will participate in more than 450 events with 12,000 people from the five boroughs attending the Start! 2009 Wall Street Run and Heart Walk. Help CBS and the American Heart Association make it more!
-- Tell your friends and family about this program and help them build healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. By doing this, you can jumpstart your way to a healthier life and you will be benefiting thousands of New Yorkers that desperately need your help. For more information, visit www.heartwalknyc.org.

    Synchronicity Space and Fine Arts in New York City's Greenwich Villagewill be hosting its 3rd annual exhibition showcasing the personal works of men in recovery who are facing their emotions and themselves through "art as therapy". Opening December 9th, 2008 and running through January 31st, 2009 this exhibition will include watercolors, pastels and charcoal drawings by the men of St. Christopher's Inn.  Along with numerous other events, this art show inaugurates the centennial anniversary of one of America's true miracles - St. Christopher's Inn at Graymoor. Founded in 1909 by The Franciscan Friars of the Atonement, St. Christopher's Inn continues its mission to simply provide the very best of care to the homeless and chemically dependent who call on them for healing.  The work chosen for this exhibition represents the acute awareness of men fighting for their lives as they go forward in a process of recovery, most of whom have never drawn, held a brush or endeavored to record personal moments of their lives. In addition, this year's exhibition will incorporate artwork from the staff of St. Christopher's Inn in an effort to demonstrate the degree of awareness and sensitivity to the process of recovery and how the collaboration of the men and the staff thrives on continuity.

    Synchronicity Space and Fine Arts in New York City's Greenwich Villagewill be hosting its 3rd annual exhibition showcasing the personal works of men in recovery who are facing their emotions and themselves through "art as therapy". Opening December 9th, 2008 and running through January 31st, 2009 this exhibition will include watercolors, pastels and charcoal drawings by the men of St. Christopher's Inn.  Along with numerous other events, this art show inaugurates the centennial anniversary of one of America's true miracles - St. Christopher's Inn at Graymoor. Founded in 1909 by The Franciscan Friars of the Atonement, St. Christopher's Inn continues its mission to simply provide the very best of care to the homeless and chemically dependent who call on them for healing.  The work chosen for this exhibition represents the acute awareness of men fighting for their lives as they go forward in a process of recovery, most of whom have never drawn, held a brush or endeavored to record personal moments of their lives. In addition, this year's exhibition will incorporate artwork from the staff of St. Christopher's Inn in an effort to demonstrate the degree of awareness and sensitivity to the process of recovery and how the collaboration of the men and the staff thrives on continuity.
