American Heart Association Month
Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women every year in the US? In fact, 1 out of every 4 deaths in the United States is the result of heart disease. American Heart Month was first declared by President Lyndon Johnson back in 1964 to help raise awareness about heart disease and stress the importance of heart health.

The Heart Truth
Many campaigns have surfaced such as the The Heart Truth, which is a program of the National Institute of Health. This program was started to raise awareness specifically about women’s risks for heart disease. The Heart Truth strives to educate women on the risk factors for having heart disease. The idea is to educate women about  lifestyle changes to help reduce the risk of developing heart disease.
