Adrian, MI – February will have a lot more red than green at ProMedica facilities as it draws attention to heart disease, a health issue that the American Heart Association reports is the number one killer in the U.S.
Northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan mirror the rest of the country when it comes to the impact of heart disease. ProMedica and the American Heart Association encourage the community to go red and take charge of heart health in the following ways:
· Schedule an appointment with your health provider: Learn about your health status and risk factors.
· Get active: The American Heart Association recommends getting at least two hours and 30-minutes of moderate physical activity each week.
· Eat healthily: A heart-healthy diet is rich in fruit, vegetables, fiber and whole grains and low in sodium.
· And know the signs and symptoms of a heart attack and stroke.
