February is a month for celebrating all matters of the heart and t’s only fitting to take this month to raise awareness for heart disease. Despite the fact that it’s often mistaken for a disease most common in men, “one in three women die of heart disease or stroke,” according to the American Heart Association. And, it turns out: “education and lifestyle changes can prevent 80 percent of cardiac events.” Taking a serious look at your health, especially your heart health, is essential; and Heart Health Month is key for raising awareness and stepping up the bar on education. Let’s reflect on this important issue, honoring Heart Health Month with a few quotes.
