Seventy One.
Worldwide, 8.6 million women die from heart disease each year, accounting for a third of all deaths in women. Today is National Wear Red Day to raise awareness about heart disease in women. Coming from a family that has had more than it's fair share of heart problems, I know that I am at an elevated risk for heart disease. Growing up, I didn't think much about that because I was so active in soccer and ate a very healthy diet. These days? I could use a kick in the ass to get myself focusing on my heart health. And so could you.
Check out these statistics about women's heart disease. Scary.
On a side note, I love this sweatshirt. I bought it in Las Vegas on a trip with my cousin about seven years ago. In case you couldn't tell, it says England across the front. I love French Connection stuff. I bought a bunch of their FCUK shirts when I was living in London. Anyway, there you go.
Yesterday sucked balls. Today will not. I won't let it. I am bound and determined to remain in a good mood all day today. I know a lot of my friends had crappy Thursdays too and I hope that they have absolutely amazing Fridays.
TGIF!
