National Wear Red Day
Each year the first Friday of February is dedicated to National Wear Red Day during American Heart Month to raise awareness that heart disease is a leading cause of death for Americans, and the number one health threat for women.
On this day, women and men are encouraged to know their blood pressure, HDL cholesterol and total cholesterol levels, as well as their body mass index (BMI) to better understand their health risk for heart disease.
