Prairie Fare: What questions should I ask myself about heart health?

I was alarmed. Someone in a meeting was speaking with closed eyes and a hand over their heart. The person was quite passionate about the discussion in progress. “Do I remember my CPR training? Should I call 911?” I thought to myself. I was wondering if the Bee Gees’ song “Stayin’ Alive” was still the gold standard for doing CPR.

“What is the surcharge on eggs?” I asked our server as she poured us cups of coffee. I was perusing the somewhat apologetic sign on the restaurant table. The increase in egg prices had caused them to charge customers a little extra for eggs.

The most recent survey of teen mental health by the Centers for Disease Control in 2023 revealed that 20.3% of adolescents in the United States have been diagnosed with a mental health condition. This reflects a 35% increase since 2016. The survey also found that 40% of teens reported persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness, 20% seriously considered suicide, and, tragically, 9% attempted suicide.

Has anyone ever texted you a picture of their food at a restaurant? Or have you sent a picture of your dinner plate to a friend? I will admit that I text a photo of my food to my family if my meal looks particularly mouthwatering and attractive. Usually I add, “wish you were here enjoying this with me.” Sometimes they appreciate seeing what I am eating.

This beloved winter activity wasn’t always a recreational pastime. Its roots run deep in history, serving as a tool for survival long before it became a modern-day hobby.
