Friday, Feb. 6, is National Wear Red Day

Don't forget tomorrow, Friday, Feb. 6, is National Wear Red Day.
Thank goodness we have casual Fridays so I can wear one of my Carl Edwards' red tshirts. If you're into NASCAR you know who Carl Edwards is.
One year at work they gave us a lapel pin that is a lady's red dress in honor of this day.

"The Red Dress was designed to build awareness that women are at risk for heart disease, and motivate them to take action to reduce their risk.The creative concept of a Red Dress tested well with diverse women who cited its ability to get attention, convey the seriousness of heart disease, and change the perception that it is only a man's issue.The symbol links a woman's focus on her "outer self" to the need to also focus on her "inner self," especially her heart health. The Red Dress serves as a red alert to convey the message that "Heart Disease Doesn't Care What You Wear—It's the #1 Killer of Women."

Taking women’s health to heart is a serious matter - heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women. In fact, one in four American women dies of heart disease.

The good news is that both men and women can lower their risk of heart disease by as much as 82 percent by leading a healthy lifestyle. The first step to heart health is to know your numbers: cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, glucose, blood pressure, BMI, waist circumference and the minimum number of minutes to exercise per day. These numbers can help you and your doctor determine your risks and mark the progress you’re making toward a healthier heart."
