What it is, what to do and how you can support:
February is National Heart Awareness Month. 48% of American adults have some for of cardiovascular disease. Heart disease is the #1 killer of women. It kills more than all forms of cancer put together. (This statistic was found here.)
The first Friday of February has been named National Wear Red Day. This year that falls on February 7th.
The American Heart Association reminds you to GO RED:
G: Get your blood pressure and cholesterol checked
O: Own your lifestyle. Start exercising, eating right and stop smoking.
R: Realize your risk-It will never happen to us until it does. It affect 1 in 3 women.
E: Educate your family. Teach the importance of exercise and good diet.
D: Don’t be silent. Heart disease is the #1 killer of all women. Tell everyone.
I hope you take the chance on Friday to wear red for your support of heart disease. Pull out the red from supporting the Chief’s last weekend and wear it again to support the awareness of heart disease.
