It takes heart to wear that little red dress

National Wear Red Day is February 1, 2008 -- mark your calendars! -- and that means you simply must make a red fashion statement on this day. Not only will you look dashing in your vibrant hues, you'll be sending a heart-healthy message too. So pull out your favorite red dress, laugh until you're red in the face, or eat a red apple. It's up to you. You get to choose exactly how you'll go red.

Going red
is about finding a personal way to take part in the fight against the number one killer of American women: heart disease.

Go Red For Women
is the American Heart Association's nationwide movement that urges millions of people across the country to help make a difference. The color red, and the red dress, have become symbols for the ability all women have to improve their heart health and live stronger, longer lives.


While heart disease is a force to be reckoned with, the good news is that the disease can largely be prevented. And so the mission of this Go Red movement is to arm women with tips and information on healthy eating, exercise, and risk factor management.
