Friday is National Wear Red Day, sponsored by the American Heart Association. Heart disease is the #1 killer of American women. Each year, more women die from heart disease than all types of cancer combined. Fortunately, heart disease hasn't affected any women in my family but it did lead to the deaths of both Big Daddy and Hop (my grandfather).
I have an autoimmune disease which has given me high cholesterol. Heart health is big with me and it's never too early to take care of your heart. Heart disease is largely preventable and four easy things everyone should be doing are:
1. Eat healthy
2. Keep your weight in check
3. Exercise
4. Reduce stress
I certainly need to do a better job of tackling that list! So Friday, remember to put on something red.

Last night, I just got my blood pressure checked along with my daughters at a Fun Family Fitness Night at their school. It's so important to do what we can to stay healthy. Have a great day! xoxo
