RoadBeat: 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross - It's a good size, but is it a good choice?
Submitted by paula on Sun, 02/13/2022 - 3:41pm
I wanted to like the new Corolla Cross, Toyota's new compact crossover. Drawing on the name of one of its most successful models for marketing purposes, this new entry sits below the RAV4 in Toyota's hierarchy, but above the niche C-HR. Actually, think of this as a new RAV4 'classic.' I say 'classic' because the RAV4 has grown rather large over the past decade, dwarfing its early forebears, with this new Corolla Cross being a more similar size to those classic RAV offerings. In fact, it's larger than a pre-2005 RAV4.

Column: The (Blood) Pressure is On
Submitted by paula on Sat, 02/12/2022 - 10:02am
About one in four adults in the U.S. has high blood pressure, but many don’t know it. High blood pressure, or hypertension, is often called the “silent killer” because it has no obvious symptoms to indicate that something is wrong, yet it can lead to life-threatening conditions like a heart attack or stroke. Evidence also suggests having uncontrolled high blood pressure creates a higher risk for a particular type of dementia later in life, known as vascular dementia. The good news is high blood pressure can be prevented or treated.
