American Heart Month
Author: 
February is American Heart Month. A healthy heart is crucial to proper blood and oxygen flow in the body. As one of the few muscles that are continuously at work, the heart has a tremendous impact on the function of every other bodily system and is a determining factor in overall physical health.
Heart disease is the most common illness in the United States. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2010 about 785,000 Americans suffered from their first heart attack, while about 470,000 experienced a recurrent attack. A heart attack, which is the most common form of heart disease, will affect someone about every 25 seconds and will be the cause of death about every minute, according to the CDC.
Stay tuned this month to get information on how to decrease the risk of heart disease and how to promote heart health in February and all year round. Also check out Isotonix® on Facebook and Twitter for additional information.

[...] American Heart Month is quickly winding down; however, the rate at which heart disease is affecting hundreds of thousands of people every day is not. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a heart attack – which is the most common form of heart disease – will affect someone about every 25 seconds, and will be the cause of death about every minute. In 2010, about 785,000 Americans suffered from their first heart attack, while about 470,000 experienced a recurrent heart attack, according to the CDC. Thus, the importance of practicing heart-healthy habits extends far beyond February and is relevant to each day of the year. [...]
