SOCIAL COMMITTEE The Westside HOA is starting up its social committee after a couple of years break! We have a tradition in this neighborhood of family friendly events for our children and grandchildren; a safe place where we can meet our neighbors.

We want to continue that tradition, but we need your help to continue. It takes everyone's talents to help coordinate and carry out these events! We are bringing back the Easter Egg Hunt (Friday 4/18 9am), 4th of July Parade (Friday 7/4 9am), Halloween haunted trail (TBD) and Santa in the Park (Sunday, 12/14 3-5pm)! We've only had one meeting, so there is still time to join. We need people to head up committees, be on the committees or help with communication and publicity. Please contact Nancy Townsend (ntownsend1@ att.net) or Janet Theriault (theriaulttimes@yahoo.com) for further information or to join!

FOLLOW UP ON YOUR HEART HEALTH Eating healthy and exercising are well known tips to keep your heart healthy, but doctors at Baylor College of Medicine say don't forget about the follow-ups.

"Many times people will see a doctor and receive a diagnosis of high cholesterol or blood pressure, for example, but they won't follow up with another appointment," said Dr. Joseph Coselli, professor of surgery at Baylor. "These secondary doctor visits are needed to monitor progression of risk factors and to help find the most effective treatment options."

Coselli recommends asking your doctor some important questions: • What is a healthy weight for me?

• What does a balanced diet consist of?

• How do I quit smoking?

• What exercises should I add to my daily routine?

• What health screenings should I have?

• When should I follow up with my next appointment?

"You have to be responsible for your health and make important changes to keep your heart healthy," Coselli said.

WANT YOUR SKIN TO GLOW? "All Natural" Might Not Be The Way To Go

If you want your skin to glow, experts at Baylor College of Medicine say all natural products might not be the answer.

"Some people think that by going all natural with their skin care, that it will automatically be safer for their skin. That's not necessarily the case," said Dr. Rajani Katta, professor of dermatology at Baylor.

Whether it is cleansers or moisturizers, you can still have allergic reactions to the ingredients even if they are all natural or organic. Many natural ingredients, such as lavender extract or sandalwood oil, are actually types of fragrance additives. Even though these are natural fragrances, they can still cause the same type of allergic reactions. Other natural ingredients, such as tea tree oil, can also trigger allergic reactions.

Since it may be hard to pinpoint exactly what is causing irritation or allergic reactions just by reading labels, Katta suggests consulting a dermatologist.
