Collapse ▲February has been recognized as American Heart Month since 1964. The first Friday in February is always Wear Red Day to raise awareness of heart disease, especially in women. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women, according to Women’s Health.gov. You can prevent heart disease by choosing healthy food, maintaining a healthy weight, exercise more and ease stress in your life. Red fruits and vegetables have also shown to help with heart disease. The nutrient lycopene in the red food helps protect your body against several cancers and heart disease. So go red and start getting your heart in shape! Here’s a great recipe to start with. Enjoy!
