In recognition of our health curvy divas, the National Institute of Health (NIH) has declared tomorrow a day to wear red. In 2002 the NIH created the Red Dress ® as the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness.
Of course you can see why. The color red for our heart, somehow that color is associated with love and matters of the heart isn't it?! Plus when you wear red, you are a force to be recon with. You feel bold, strong and beautiful.
It is very important to remember to eat healthy, exercise, even if it is just 15 minutes a day. That is a start to getting yourself healthier. Heart disease is a silent killer. It often takes us by surprise. We don't recognize it until it is too late. Don't forget to share this information with your best girlfriend, your mom, aunty, teacher, neighbor, and remind them to go to the doctor for their physical; make that appointment now.
Go to the NIH's website where you will see that lovely photo with these gorgeous women in red. Get your best red dress, or suit, or jacket, hoodie...just do you and be healthy. Now follow this link to read more about Wear Red Day and grab the toolkit if you want to perhaps, host an event...no, it is not too late, you can whip something up and celebrate in no time! Or just think about it for next year!
