Greetings from Siena Hills! Summer has come and gone

so quickly! It seems like just yesterday kids were getting

out of school, and now they are completing their first

couple of weeks! That means fall is upon us, which brings

football, cooler weather, and preparation for the holi-

day season. But lets not forget about our wonderful Au-

gust! Our community welcomed 5 new residents, took a

group to the Iowa State Fair, and hosted numerous

events in the community. We look forward to Septem-

ber, with plenty of activities and scheduled Dare to

Dreams for our wonderful residents.

We are a growing community that continues to provide

the best quality care in Ankeny, and are here to give

that quality care to your loved one! Be sure to visit our

website at www.edencrestliving.com, or visit us as 455

SW Ankeny Road for a tour, a meal, and great compan-

ionship. Thank you, from Edencrest at Siena Hills!

September is National Cholesterol Education Month, a good time to

get your blood cholesterol checked and take steps to lower it if it is

high. It's important to check your cholesterol levels. High cholesterol is

a major risk factor for heart disease, the leading cause of death in

the United States. More than 102 million American Adults (20 years or

older) have total cholesterol levels at or above 200 mg/dL, which is

above healthy levels. More than 35 million of these people have lev-

els of 240 mg/dL or higher, which puts them at high risk for heart dis-

ease. Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance found in your body

and many foods. Your body needs cholesterol to function normally

and makes all that you need. Too much cholesterol can build up in

your arteries. After a while, these deposits narrow your arteries, put-

ting you at risk for heart disease and stroke. High cholesterol usually

doesn't have any symptoms. As a result, many people do not know

that their cholesterol levels are too high. However, doctors can do a

simple blood test to check your cholesterol. High cholesterol can be

controlled through lifestyle changes or if it is not enough, through

medications. Life style changes include eating low-fat and high-fiber

foods, exercising to maintain a healthy weight.
