That’s why every February, we observe Heart Health Month. It encourages us to take a step back, examine our health habits and take action to improve our heart health. This month, we also raise awareness for heart disease and promote education about heart health. 1 in 5 heart attacks happen without the person even knowing they had one. As the number one killer of Americans, heart disease is a slow-moving epidemic that happens to 1 in 4 people and affects almost everyone. ## [**Heart Disease Facts**](https://theheartfoundation.org/heart-disease-facts-2/) • Someone has a heart attack every 40 seconds in the United States • About half of Americans have 1 of these 3 key risk factors for heart disease: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and smoking • Heart disease costs the US about $200 billion each year, including health care services, medications, and lost productivity • Heart disease is sometimes thought of as a “man’s disease”, but it’s the number 1 killer for women as well • Fewer women than men survive their first heart attack ## **Changing Habits** Learning about the risk factors for heart disease and how people can prevent them are key to maintaining good heart health. Staying active and eating healthy are important to maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system. Simple changes like picking up a new active hobby such as tennis or simply going for a morning run are beneficial. Substituting certain foods for healthier alternatives in one’s diet can also be very impactful. [Drinking diet soda every day can raise chances of a heart attack 43% higher than consuming regular soda, or none.](https://nationaltoday.com/american-heart-month/#faqs) Although heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, it’s also one of the most preventable. Exercising, monitoring blood pressure, and maintaining a healthy weight are all ways to reduce the risk of developing heart-related health problems. There are multiple ways your customers can monitor their heart health and Omron has many tools to help keep their health in check.
