The Daviess County Health Department will be hosting its third annual free Heart Healthy Lunch for Women’s Health from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Feb. 2. There will be educational material available. All women from the community are invited to attend. The health department wants everyone to be aware that one in three women die of heart disease and stroke each year. You are encouraged to join the movement to end heart disease and stroke in women because it’s not just a man’s disease. Here’s what it means to Go Red:
G: GET YOUR NUMBERS
Ask your doctor to check your blood pressure and cholesterol.
O: OWN YOUR LIFESTYLE
Stop smoking, lose weight, exercise, and eat healthy.
It’s up to you. No one can do it for you.
R: REALIZE YOUR RISK
We think it won’t happen to us, but heart disease kills one of three women.
E: EDUCATE YOUR FAMILY
Make healthy food choices for you and your family.
Teach your kids the importance of staying active.
D: DON’T BE SILENT
Tell every woman you know that heart disease is our No. 1 killer.

Remember – LIFE IS WHY.
