American Heart Month Brings Awareness to Our #1 Health Risk

According to the American Heart Association, cardiovascular diseases, including stroke, are still our nation's No. 1 killer. That's why since 1963, Congress has required the President to proclaim February as American Heart Month, urging Americans to join the fight against heart disease. Every year, their goal is to raise funds for research and education and pass along vital information about heart disease and stroke. The American Heart Association's website is a valuable tool for gaining knowledge about the warning signs of heart attacks and strokes. Visitors can also educate themselves on the different heart diseases and conditions in addition to ways on how to avoid these common health problems. In addition to diet and medicine, some of the most popular methods of prevention are currently exercise and stress management.
