Heart healthy at any age

Today is National Go Red for Women Day!

Go Red For Women celebrates the energy, passion and power we have as women to band together to wipe out heart disease and stroke.

Heart disease is not something that affects just men! Coronary heart disease which causes heart attacks, is the leading cause of death for women in America. BUT, we can prevent it by changing our lifestyle and keeping these risk factors under control:

• Cholesterol
• Blood Pressure
• Smoking - don't do it!
• Physical Activity - DO do it!
• Obesity
• Diabetes
• Stress
• Over use of Alcohol

Educate your friends, family, and co-workers about how they can be active, eat healthy and how simple lifestyle changes can help their heart at the same time! For more tips on prevention and great healthy recipes, click here!

And don't forget to wear red when you go out (or stay in!) tonight-- spread the word and spread the love! Here is what I am sporting to work in support!

My cousin passed on this video and I wanted to share, today especially. It is SUCH an inspiration

and it shows that you can be heart healthy AND fit at any age!

Remember YOU can do anything you want &

are more capable than you think!

Happy Friday!
