February is the month for all things heart related. Pink and red is scattered about in your nearest drugstore and/or superstore while heart shaped balloons, bears, and candies grab the attention of anyone and every one’s soft spot.
For anyone focused on matters of the heart, this month also pays close attention to your ticker (cardiac organ) as February 1 marks the beginning of American Heart Month.
Red Ribbons For Awareness
That thing central to your being has been under attack for quite some time in the last series of decades as 1 in 4 deaths a year occur due to heart disease. Heart disease and heart-related illnesses affect both women and men and have been found to be THE No. 1 killer worldwide alongside strokes.
Although daunting, there are numerous preventative measures that can be taken as well forms of awareness that have been determined to spread that message against the disease. The American Heart Association is a well-known organization that has been dedicated to fighting and saving lives since its beginnings in 1924. Founded by six cardiologists, the AHA has grown into one of the world’s leading as well as largest voluntary organizations focused on cardiovascular health while investing millions into research and the improvement of our overall health.
While spreading the word about prevention and the measures taken to avoid or lower the risk of this silent killer, health care providers, communities, and non-profit organizations can continue to stand against such deadly diseases. At the same time, the encouragement and teaching of individuals about their bodies and how to live heart healthy lives will continue to make an impact and hopefully improve our overall health as communities.
