Walk for Heart Disease

In light of heart disease awareness month and promoting the education of
heart disease related ailments, the American Heart Associations Heart Walk
Sunday went on yesterday. A sea of red shirts flooded around counties in
New York. Increasing awareness is key to funding, research and prevention.
People must realize the importance of healthy lifestyles, regular heart
scans if you are a high risk candidate (smoker, high cholesterol, family
history etc), and exercise.

News 10 in New York said, "Right now we're reaching $200,000, but we're on a
great track right now," said Hartmann. As survivors swapped stories,
organizers were hoping to pull in big bucks for future research and
education. But the walk's about more than just raising funds, it's also
about raising awareness. Including some of the best ways to prevent heart
disease, such as proper diet and plenty of exercise."

Physicians and patients alike are hoping heart awareness, heart walks and
educational programs will aid in prevention for many baby-boomers. If you
