Our 2022 Impact

February is Heart Month and
Black History Month

 

February is both Heart Month and Black History Month, both are important and well-timed topics for this month because People of Color are disproportionately impacted by heart disease. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women, but women of color have an even greater risk. Statistics show that People of Color have higher rates of high blood pressure, obesity and diabetes – common conditions that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. So, what can be done to decrease the risk?

Be active

Eat well

Check your blood pressure

Understand your blood sugar numbers

Know your cholesterol levels

Avoid smoking and vaping

Follow your doctor’s recommendations

Together, we can show our support by wearing red and bringing awareness to heart disease for February 3 – National Wear Red Day. Learn more by visiting Life’s Essential 8 | American Heart Association and for more resources, check out LiveWellLocal.org.
