Heart Health
American Heart Month, observed every February, is a nationwide initiative aimed at raising awareness about heart disease and promoting heart health. Heart disease remains the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States, making this month critical for education, prevention, and action.
Why Heart Health Matters:
1. Prevalence of Heart Disease
- Heart disease is the leading cause of death globally.
- In the U.S., approximately 1 in 4 deaths are due to heart disease.
1. Preventability
- Many risk factors for heart disease, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity, are preventable through lifestyle changes.
- Early detection and management of risk factors can significantly reduce the likelihood of heart disease.
1. Impact on Quality of Life
- Heart disease can lead to severe complications including heart attacks, strokes, and chronic conditions that may affect daily life.
- Maintaining heart health improves overall wellbeing, energy levels, and longevity.
