Powerful Antioxidants

To urge Americans to join the battle against cardiovascular diseases, Congress has required the President to proclaim February "American Heart Month” since 1963.  During American Heart Month, thousands of volunteers visit their friends and neighbors. Their goal is to raise funds for research and education and pass along information about heart disease and stroke.

According to the American Heart Association good nutrition is at the heart of good health.

Wearing red for Heart Disease –Spot a lady in red today, and chances are she isn't making a fashion statement – it's part of a health movement.

Feb. 5 is National Wear Red Day, when women across the U.S. are encouraged to don a red article of clothing to help build awareness for heart disease, the No. 1 killer of adult females. Each year nearly half a million women die from heart disease, according to the American Heart Association (AHA), which sponsors the event. The campaign to educate women about their risks began last year, when the first Wear Red Day was held on Feb. 6, 2009.

According to the AHA, the day is a wake-up call to alert women that age, family history and race can't be changed, but healthy choices can be made to lower the risk of heart disease and stroke. The movement goes beyond simply wearing red: People who go to www.goredforwomen.org can download a Wear Red Day "kit" that includes downloadable flyers, posters, e-mail campaigns, fundraising tips and more.
