Go Red for Women


Go Red for Women
This Friday, February 4th is National Wear Red Day, the trademark program of the American Heart Association. Heart disease is still the #1 killer of women, taking the life of one in three women each year. The Go Red for Women nationwide movement celebrates the energy, passion and power women have to band together and wipe out heart disease. Thanks to millions of people across the country who've joined this movement, the color red and the red dress have become linked with the ability all women have to improve their heart health and live stronger, longer lives.

So wear red this Friday and check out the Go Red for Women website, or better yet start with yourself and join Go Red BetterU. It's a FREE 12-week online nutrition and fitness program. Each week the BetterU program focuses on a different area of health providing step-by-step guidance including daily expert tips, an online journal, weekly quizzes and helpful coaching tool to better your health and your heart.

Get started today!!! It's FREE -- Spring is coming -- so what have you got to lose, maybe a few pounds. What have you got to Gain -- a healthier, happier, BETTER U!!

Taking care of your self is important, not only to you but your family and friends as well. That's why each week this month they will focus on a different feature of the American Heart Association's website including getting and keeping healthy, healthier kids and programs for educators.
