Heart Health

Just like skin is the body’s largest organ and protector, your heart is the powerhouse, pumping blood and oxygen to fuel your body. Taking care of it is essential for a long and healthy life.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States, but it’s also one of the most preventable. Small, proactive steps can make a significant difference in keeping your heart healthy.

This year on February 7th, it is “National Wear Red Day.” This day is dedicated to spreading awareness about heart disease and how you can help to both lower your risk and recognize early signs and symptoms. One of the most dangerous outcomes of heart disease is a heart attack. A heart attack occurs when the blood vessels supplying the heart with oxygenated blood become blocked, causing heart muscle to die.
