Heart Month

Coincidently the day after the walking series has ended; we have walked ourselves into February, also known as Heart Month.

According to the Director of the CDC, Julie Gerberding, heart disease is the leading killer of women. One in three women die from heart disease, yet only 13 percent of American women recognize that heart disease is the greatest threat to their health.

For the next week I’ll devote one post to the following heart disease risk factors you can control:

Physical Activity - Thursday
Nutrition - Friday
Cholesterol - Monday
High Blood Pressure - Tuesday
Stress and Smoking - Wednesday

You don’t have to work on them all at once. Pick one topic a month and just focus on that. The bottom line is, only you can love your heart.

This month, to keep the focus on heart health, all posts related to Exercise or Nutrition will end with this picture which links back to this post.
