❤️ February is American Heart Month ❤️
Heart disease is more common than many realize—and awareness is the first step toward prevention. In the United States, heart disease remains the leading cause of death for men, women, and people of most racial and ethnic groups, accounting for nearly 1 in every 4 deaths. High blood pressure is a major contributor, with nearly half of U.S. adults affected, yet only 1 in 4 have it under control. Beyond its impact on health, heart disease is also costly, with over $168 billion spent on related health care services and medications between 2021 and 2022. This month, take time to prioritize your heart health—small steps can make a big difference. 💙🩺
