“Go Red for Women” on February 7 and help spread awareness about heart disease

February is American Heart Month. Each year, the American Heart Association kicks the month of awareness off with the National Go Red for Women’s campaign. This year, Go Red for Women Day is designated for Friday, February 7, 2020.

Heart disease is the number 1 killer of women. It kills more women than all cancers combined. Here is information to help educate women and prevent heart disease:

G: GET YOUR NUMBERS
            Have your health care provider check your blood pressure and cholesterol level.

O: OWN YOUR LIFESTYLE
            Stop smoking, lose weight and eat healthily. Only you can make these changes.

R: REALIZE YOUR RISK
            Know that heart disease kills 1 in 3 women.

E: EDUCATE YOUR FAMILY
            Be sure that you eat healthily and stay active. Be sure your kids do the same.

D: DON’T BE SILENT
            Tell other women to educate themselves.
