National Wear Red Day

National Wear Red Day is celebrated in both the United States and England in the month of February, the only difference being they are celebrated on different days. Seeing as how I'm American but living in England, I've picked a random day in between ;) This day is to bring attention and awareness to heart disease, the leading cause of death in women. In the United States alone, heart disease kills more women than all cancers combined! For those who missed my post last year, you can read a bit of my story about survival of heart disease. 

So what does this mean for you? 

It means you need to be aware of the signs associated with heart disease, so that if you have it, it can be treated early on. 

My favorite ways to take care of my heart?

~ Stay active, they call it cardio for a reason!

~ Pinot Noir, seriously. One glass is all you need!

~ Sodium control, not only do I never use salt for flavor, I don't eat canned soups or beans etc unless they have been rinsed with water to remove the excess sodium. 

 Be kind to your heart!
