February is American Heart Month, a national campaign to raise awareness about the importance of cardiovascular health. It’s crucial to reflect on your habits and commit to choices that prioritize your heart’s well-being. Heart disease continues to be one of the leading causes of death in the United States, but the good news is that prevention is within reach for everyone.

February 7th is also National Wear Red Day. Heart disease affects both men and women, yet women experience unique risk factors that require special attention. Hormonal changes, pregnancy-related complications, and different heart attack symptoms—such as nausea, fatigue, or shortness of breath—highlight the need for tailored awareness and preventive measures. Understanding these risks and symptoms can make a life-saving difference. Join Nevada Health Centers by wearing red with #WearRedDay and learn more about women and heart disease from the CDC.

A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains supports heart health while avoiding tobacco and limiting alcohol intake lowers your risk of developing heart disease. Regular check-ups with your healthcare provider are also key to monitoring your blood pressure, cholesterol, and other important indicators.
