Go red for women's heart health
Good health is certainly something to celebrate, and "Go Red for Women" is the wonderful national program launched by the American Heart Association to help prevent heart disease, the number one killer of women in America.
The whole package is amazing, and full of great ideas to help women stay healthy. It includes heart-healthy recipes, a community-type "get moving" exercise program, health check-up and heart attack warning signs information, plus support to help all of us take action to protect our hearts. For example, you can sign up for e-mailed encouragement reminders to exercise more.
Celebrate with Style is pleased to help publicize this national campaign—one we truly believe is "Worth Celebrating" and supporting. Here are some highlights:
