Recently I buzzed about Macy’s supporting the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women cause. Go read the post, because there are great ways to save (and win BIG) with Macy’s!
Now, what’s cool is I also got firsthand scoop about Go Red for Women direct from the American Heart Association’s. They’ve been keeping track of my Mom Buff articles and think it’s great that the Mom Buzz is a place for moms to go for fitness motivation and a healthier lifestyle, despite our busy schedules. So supporting National Wear Red Day on February 5th, 2010 (today) is a natural fit!
I know sometimes it is hard being a busy mom and also finding the time to make sure our health is a priority. But too many women die each year because they are unaware that heart disease is our No. 1 killer. But we can make a statement, and look fabulous while doing it, by joining thousands of other women, TV personalities, companies and even national landmarks who participate in National Wear Red Day to raise awareness.

I learned that they are trying to teach more women how to talk to their doctors about heart disease.
I learned, there are no good excuses for a bad diet. Take time to eat better and get more exercise.

I learned they are encouraging women to talk about heart disease with their doctors.
I saw this statement and loveed it:
Thanks to the participation of millions of people across the country, the color red and the red dress now stand for the ability all women have to improve their heart health and live stronger, longer lives.
I learned everybody should know their numbers, at any age: “make it your goal to know your cholesterol and triglyceride numbers as well as you know your 401(K) balance and shoe size.”
I learned they are teaching more amd more women how to talk to their doctors about heart disease.
