National Wear Red Day is celebrated each year on the first Friday in February, to bring greater attention to heart disease as a leading cause of death for Americans.
This is a reminder to all of us the importance of healthy living through exercise and healthy food choices. Heart disease does not discriminate – it is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. You can make healthy changes to lower your risk of developing heart disease.
Risk factors for heart disease include: • Smoking • High blood pressure • High cholesterol • Overweight/obesity • Physical inactivity • Diabetes • Family history of early coronary heart disease • Age (for women, 55 and older)
Heart disease is largely preventable. Here’s what you can do now to reduce your risk:
• Don’t smoke • Eat for heart health • Aim for 30 minutes of physical activity at least 5 days a week • Ask your doctor to check your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood glucose
