February is American Heart Month. Managing editor Tami Roleff has more information about this deadly disease…
Every year more than 600,000 Americans die from heart disease. Heart disease affects all ages, genders, and ethnicities and is the number one cause of deaths for most groups. Risk factors include high cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, and excessive alcohol use. Residents are urged to take an active role in reducing their risk for heart disease by eating a healthy diet, engaging in physical activity, and managing their cholesterol and blood pressure. This month, Z107.7 will air stories about how to be heart healthy.
