Heart disease is also the leading cause of death for both men and women. Here’s the good news. An estimated 80 percent of heart disease is preventable. With February being American Heart Month, now is the time for all of us to make a new commitment to heart healthy living. Change your diet. Start exercising regularly. Stop smoking.
