Every year, the UK Ag Tractor Team builds a one quarter scale working tractor; students present the design and building process, and the tractor competes with machines from other universities. Three out of the past four years, the UK team has taken first place. We salute their consistency and excellence with the show. Unfortunately, it’s Health Matters, so we talk about high heels, vaccination, grapefruit and melanoma risk, and how to prevent skin cancers.
Tip: 33% of US adults have high blood pressure. The American Heart Association recommends we eat more vegetables, limit our sodium intake to 2400 mg per day, exercise vigorously 3 to 4 times a week, monitor our blood pressure at home, and treat sleep apnea with CPAP to protect our hearts.
