🩺 November Health Awareness: Diabetes, COPD & Men’s Health — Know the Signs, Save a Life!

November is not only National Diabetes Month and COPD Awareness Month, it’s also Men’s Health Awareness Month. These observances encourage awareness, prevention, and early action for chronic health conditions that affect millions of Americans.

At Alliance CPR Certification Las Vegas, we believe knowledge, prevention, and emergency preparedness go hand in hand. Understanding these health risks — and knowing how to respond in an emergency — can make a life-saving difference.

🩸 National Diabetes Month: Take Action for a Healthier Future

Diabetes occurs when the body struggles to regulate blood sugar levels. Over time, this can lead to serious health issues such as heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, and nerve complications.

Quick Facts About Diabetes:

• Over 38 million Americans have diabetes.

• 1 in 5 don’t know they have it.

• Healthy lifestyle habits and early detection can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.

• 
  

How to Take Action:

• Schedule regular blood sugar screenings.

• Maintain a balanced diet rich in vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.

• Stay active with at least 30 minutes of exercise most days.

• Learn to recognize diabetic emergencies, such as low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) or diabetic shock.

During our CPR and First Aid training, you’ll learn how to identify and respond to diabetic emergencies — empowering you to act quickly and confidently in real-life situations.

🌬 COPD Awareness Month: Support Lung Health and Early Detection

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) affects the lungs and makes breathing difficult. It includes conditions such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema, often caused by long-term exposure to cigarette smoke or environmental irritants.

Common Signs of COPD:

• Persistent cough or mucus

• Shortness of breath during daily activity

• Wheezing or chest tightness

• Frequent respiratory infections

Although COPD has no cure, early diagnosis, treatment, and lifestyle changes can help improve breathing and overall health.

Our CPR certification courses teach you how to respond to breathing difficulties, respiratory distress, and airway obstruction — essential knowledge for anyone caring for a loved one with COPD.

👨 Men’s Health Awareness Month: Take Charge of Your Wellbeing

Men’s Health Awareness Month highlights the importance of preventive care, screenings, and lifestyle choices for men. Men are at higher risk for certain health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and respiratory illnesses.

Key Tips for Men’s Health:

• Schedule regular check-ups with your doctor.

• Monitor blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels.

• Maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine.

• Avoid smoking and limit alcohol consumption.

• Learn CPR and First Aid to be prepared for emergencies involving heart attacks, strokes, or breathing complications.

Knowing CPR could save the life of a family member, coworker, or friend — particularly men at higher risk for cardiac or respiratory emergencies.
