Go Red for Women Day

Why are we in red today? Why, it's National Go Red for Women Day! Eight million women in our country are living with heart disease right now. Heart disease is the leading cause of death of American women and kills 32% of them. It's the biggest killer of women in this country, more than all cancers combined. More women than men will die from a first heart attack. (via womenheart.org.) The worst thing is much of this is preventable, but we just don't do it. Here is some info about how to save your heart.

Exercise, eat better, weigh less, quit smoking- and stick around to see your kids grow up.
