美国国家红装日
People are wearing a lot of red today, and they’re posting Go Red For Women selfies.
It's the 12th annual National Wear Red Day, which takes place the first Friday in February to raise awareness for women’s heart health. Since 1 in 3 women die of heart disease and stroke every year, the American Heart Association started the day to help spread the word that heart disease is 80 percent preventable.
“It’s not just a man’s disease,” the American Heart Association says on its Go Red For Women page.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease kills 422,000 people a year, but it can be prevented by making healthy lifestyle choices such as not smoking, exercising and eating right.
Knowing heart attack symptoms can also help -- especially considering the symptoms are a little different for women. Not all women experience the chest pain they’ve come to expect from a heart attack. Instead, they may feel tired, sick and have jaw pain.
