Office of State Personnel employees wore red today, National Wear Red Day, to show their support for women’s heart disease awareness.
Heart disease is the number one killer of women in the United States. One in four women dies of heart disease, while one in 30 dies of breast cancer.
Love your heart and the heart of your loved ones by:
• Avoiding the use of tobacco;
• Eating foods low in salt and saturated fat;
• Drinking plenty of water;
• Keeping your weight in a healthy range
• Being as physically active as possible; and
• If you are at risk for heart disease, discussing risk reductions options with your doctor.
