February 1st is Wear Red Day

Did you know that heart disease kills more women every year then any cancer does! 

The national  Go Red For Women® movement started in 2004.  Each year, on the first Friday in February, millions of women and men wear red, to help increase awareness of heart disease in women.

National Wear Red day helps million of women and their families to be more aware of heart disease in women.  It urges women to eat healthier, be more physically active and talk to their doctors about their personal risk for heart disease. 

This means controlling your risk factors:

·         High blood pressure

·         High blood cholesterol

·         Diabetes

·         Smoking

·         Physical inactivity

·         Being overweight

This effort has saved many women, who thought of “Heart disease” as an old man disease. 

Help make women be more aware and wear “Red” on February 1^st!
