Heart Awareness Month

Did you know that more than 41 million women in America have heart disease? And that more women than men will die from it? In fact, it’s the leading health problem that kills women (not cancer—a common myth).

But the good news is that just five lifestyle guidelines—
*  moderate alcohol,
*  a healthy diet,
*  daily exercise,
*  normal body weight, and
*  not smoking
can cut your heart attack risk by a whopping 92%, according to a Swedish study of more than 24,000 women. Incorporating just the first two into your routine cuts your risk by more than half.

Thank you to Prevention Magazine for heart healthy tips
