National Wear Red Day
Today, February 2, is National Wear Red Day, an observance aimed at raising heart disease awareness. Heart disease remains the number one killer of both American men and women. In fact, many women are surprised to learn that heart disease claims the lives of more women than breast cancer. More specifically, one in three American women will die of heart disease. But it doesn't have to be that way. "Today we have the knowledge and tools to prevent heart attacks and strokes,"

Very good. Nice awareness raising.
500,000 women will die in the U.S. this year of heart disease, which is the number one killer of both sexes, as you mentioned. Heart disease now kills more women than men. We can modify our risk factors by stopping smoking, knowing our blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar numbers and controlling those numbers with our doctors' help, and controlling our weight. We have the power!
