Research shows that 1/3rd of most cancers can be prevented with a healthy diet, weight management and at least 30 minutes of physical activity each day. These are the same recommendations for having a Healthy Heart.
Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women in the United States, claiming more lives than all forms of cancer combined. For more than 10 years, the American Heart Association has sponsored National Wear Red Day® to raise awareness in the fight against heart disease in women.
Celebrate National Wear Red Day® with Go Red For Women on Friday, Feb. 7, 2014 to help fight women’s No. 1 killer—heart disease.
The Bermuda Heart Foundation is the leader in Heart Health advocacy on the Island. Our very ambitious goal is to reduce the number of heart related deaths on the Island by 25% within the next three years. In order to achieve our hefty goal we need to partner with a diverse collective of business, charitable organizations and government agencies to achieve a healthier and heart smart community.
