FEBRUARY IS HEART HEALTH MONTH An important time to rededicate ourselves to fighting this prevalent
health issue. Heart disease is especially deadly among African Americans who tend to get heart disease at a younger
age, have a higher rate of first-time heart attack at all ages, are more likely to die of heart disease, and are more
prone to sudden cardiac death. Choose heart smart foods, emphasizing vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and low
fat dairy. Learn your heart disease risk factors, from your primary care physician, and do your best to lower them;
including keeping your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar under control.
