Are children with high blood pressure predestined for a life-long struggle with heart disease? Not necessarily, according to Dr. Bruce Morgenstern, a national expert on diagnosing and treating high blood pressure in children. Therapeutic lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise, are dramatically improving the quality of life for children affected by hypertension. Health Corner visits two families who are successfully dealing with the situation. Dr. Lisa talks one-on-one with an elite athlete who is also a diabetic. Kris Freeman's dreams came true when he finished a grueling cross country race the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, making everyone who watched, so proud! Health Corner profiles a business man on a mission. In the 1970s, Paul Stitt understood the value of whole grain foods before just about anyone else did. Today, his company Natural Ovens bakes 40,000 loaves of bread daily-- improving people's lives, one slice at a time. Leeza Gibbons and Dr. Jamie share the moving story of a woman who has Alzheimer's, and how her husband and daughter are finding solace and strength in a support group.
