Health Matters Radio Show

Health Matters salutes hemoglobin, the chemical on your red blood cells that carries oxygen, but also colors your skin, your stool, and your urine. The show is about the risks of deer hunting, the healthiest choice for drinking, toy injuries, and the annual state health rankings, that show Kentucky dropping to number 47 nationally. Enjoy Christmas! We’ll try to find something happier next week.

Tip: Over half of those who suffer a sudden cardiac arrest have warning signs in the month before. If you experience chest pain, shortness of breath, or a disease/fainting spell, don’t ignore this.

Cardiac arrests are often preceded by warning symptoms. Take them seriously.
