Many of you will not be surprised to learn that heart disease is our nation’s number one killer. More men and women die of cardiovascular disease than any other. In women, heart disease kills more individuals than the next five causes of death combined -- including cancer.
Since 1963, the President has declared February “American Heart Month.” The American Heart Association works with the White House to draft and sign an annual proclamation. On Friday, February 4, people around the U.S. will be encouraged to “Go Red For Women” in an effort to raise public awareness.
Here are seven steps the American Heart Association recommends you take to improve your heart health:
- Get Active
- Control Cholesterol
- Eat Better
- Manage Blood Pressure
- Lose Weight
- Reduce Blood Sugar
- Stop Smoking
At Big Toe Studio, we encourage you to do all that you can to keep your heart healthy. Remember, we're here to support you!
