February was all about the Olympics and it did not disappoint! It could not have been more exciting to watch, and the skills these athletes displayed was extraordinary. Congratulations to all of the amazing athletes and their accomplishments!
February was also heart health month. The Mrs. International organization has a strong relationship with the Go Red for Women campaign by American Heart Association. Here in Canada we have the heart truth campaign by the Heart and Stroke foundation.
We can all take a lesson from the heart and stroke foundation about living a healthy lifestyle.
Did you know the face of heart disease is changing. Once considered “a man’s disease,” the number of deaths from heart disease and stroke are now virtually the same for men and women in Canada.
The Heart Truth campaign aims to raise awareness among women of ways to reduce their risk of heart disease and stroke, and give them the tools they need to protect themselves.
The Heart Truth website gives you all the information you need to evaluate your risks, adopt a healthier lifestyle and find out how to become a Heart Truth leader in your community. You’ll also find stories of the courageous women living with heart disease and stroke and a caring online community to inspire your own heart-healthy efforts. I invite you to explore, learn and get involved! For more information visit http://www.thehearttruth.ca
