February is American Heart Month!

Did you know?
~ The #1 killer of women is Heart disease, causing 1 in 3 deaths annually.
~ Heart disease kills more women than all kinds of cancer combined.
~ One death per minute, at an average rate, kills more women than men.

By making a few good choices, you can avoid being diagnosed or reduce your risk ! To start with, eat better and make substitutions where you can. Get active, take a walk with the family. Manage your blood pressure, stop smoking, reduce blood sugar, control your cholesterol, and either lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. Just small changes can make a huge difference.

Feb. 1, 2013 is the 10th anniversary of the American Heart Associations Go Red For Women®. Play your part by wearing red on Feb 1st for National Wear Red Day®. We'll be wearing ours!
