February is National Heart Health Month!
February was named American Heart Month to raise awareness about heart health and urge Americans to reduce their risk of developing heart disease.
Every year, more than 600,000 Americans die from heart disease and it’s the No. 1 cause of death in the United States. Risk factors for heart disease include high cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes and high alcohol use.
