Have you noticed people wearing red today?

The American Heart Association has designated the first Friday of February as “Go Red For Women” Day!

Heart disease is the #1 killer of women…more than all forms of cancer combined.

“Go Red” is also an acronym:

• G is “Get Your Numbers” on your blood pressure and cholesterol
• O is “Own Your Lifestyle” by exercising, eating healthy and quitting smoking
• R is “Realize Your Risk”…heart disease kills one in three women
• E is “Educate Your Family” by teaching your kids to live a healthy life
• D is “Don’t Be Silent”…let other women know about their risk

The symptoms of a heart attack are different for women than they are for men…it often goes undetected until it’s too late…so share this infor and raise awareness of women’s risk today!
