That means the disease is responsible for the death of one in three women and one in four men. This month, the American Heart Association (AHA) is celebrating American Heart Month to prevent cardiovascular disease and promote healthier communities. The national campaign seeks to improve heart health by raising awareness of various risk factors—such as obesity, inactivity, smoking and diabetes—and encouraging people to make the proper lifestyle changes that can help prevent heart disease. Feb. 5 marks National Wear Red Day, a movement led by the AHA and Go Red for Women that encourages everyone to wear red in support of the fight against heart disease and stroke in women. Both American Heart Month and National Wear Red Day serve as a reminder to everyone that it's never too early to get heart healthy. 12 17 25-26 26 28-2
