National Wear Red Day is an annual event that aims to raise awareness about the number one killer of women globally. On this day, people across the United States wear red to show their support for women's heart health.
The Alarming Reality of Heart Disease in Women
Heart disease is often perceived as a men's health issue, but the reality is that it affects women just as severely. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), heart disease causes one in three deaths among women each year, claiming more lives than all forms of cancer combined.
The Importance of Awareness and Action
National Wear Red Day serves as a powerful reminder that heart disease is preventable, and awareness is key. By wearing red, we not only show our support for women's heart health but also encourage others to take action. We can make a tangible difference in the fight against heart disease in women.
