Today is the day to break out the red stiletto's, red dresses, red clothing and for men the red ties. It is "Go Red for Women" day all across the nation.Go Red For Women is a campaign designed to help millions of women understand that while heart disease is their No. 1 killer, it is largely preventable and they can take steps to lower their risk. As part of the movement, women learn how to love their hearts - they receive lifesaving information about preventing heart disease and managing risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, weight and cholesterol.
One in three women dies from cardiovascular disease, so it's critical that we help women learn about their risk factors and how to take better care of their hearts. Since heart disease is what I see on a daily basis among both men AND women, I am very passionate about this subject. You can bet I have my red on today :)
