That’s why Go Red For Women
is dedicated to increasing
awareness of heart disease,
helping women to know their
personal risk and educating
them about how to take action.
Heart disease can be pre-
vented. In fact, research shows
that 80 percent of cardiac
events in women may be pre-
vented if women make the right
choices for their hearts, involv-
ing diet, exercise and absti-
nence from smoking. You can
Make It Your Mission to help
stop heart disease by:
• Knowing your numbers.
• Visiting your doctor once a
year.
• Getting 30 minutes of exer-
cise daily.
• Stopping smoking.
• Eating healthy.
