❤️Feburary is American Heart Month and tomorrow, February 7th, Nutrify is participating in the The American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women National Wear Red Day®. Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death among women in the U.S., accounting for 1 in every 5 female deaths (1)? Despite this, only about 56% of women recognize it as their biggest health threat (1). Awareness and action are key to prevention!
Key Facts About Women’s Heart Health
- 🫀Nearly 45% of women aged 20 and older are living with some form of cardiovascular disease (2)
- ⚠️Common risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, obesity, and inactivity—many of which can be managed through lifestyle changes
- 🔻Menopause increases risk due to declining estrogen levels, which can contribute to higher blood pressure, increased LDL cholesterol, and reduced arterial flexibility—all of which raise the risk of heart disease (3)
