February is "Go Red for Women" month.
Cardiovascular disease is the #1 killer of women today. Heart attack and stroke kill more women than breast cancer.
Please follow the AHA guidelines..

*Exercise.
*If you smoke, quit.
*Eat correctly.
*Limit saturated fats
*Limit fast food to no more than one meal a week. The sodium is a killer!!
*Monitor your blood pressure. Undiagnosed and/or untreated high blood pressure is a killer! (my mother ate right, exercised, but thought that was enough and didn't medicate her high blood pressure. That's what killed her.)

You can't just follow some and not the others. ALL of these guidelines are equally important! My mother's death is proof of that.

You ladies are all important to me, and I want you to be around to see your grandchildren grow up!

Thanks for the reminder Texannie! I had a heart attack two years ago, and am very blessed to still be here.

What a lot of women don't realize is that the well advertised symptoms of heart attacks for men don't always show up in women. If a woman has face pain (I thought it was TMJ), shortness of breath, shoulder pain (doesn't have to be the whole arm, and it can just ache like you've strained a muscle) it CAN be your heart!

I urge ALL women who may be experiencing problems to seek help ASAP! My own doctor kept telling me these were the pains of age, and I should take an advil. I finally went to an urgent treatment center for asthma and they discovered I was having a heart attack. I argued all the way to surgery that my doctor had said it was asthma.

We all need to get the word out!
