In honor of National Wear Red day. I pulled this red number from the archives. Most of you know I suffer from blood clots and pulmonary embolism, which is due to a protein S deficiency that was triggered by taking birth control to control my fibroids. Yeah, I know how wild that sounds, but I am not alone. Blood clots left untreated can lead to cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes. These diseases cause 1 in 3 deaths in women every year making it the number one health related killer in women. So this is near and dear to my heart. Did you know these are signs of a stroke or heart attack in a woman? ⛔Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body ⛔Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding ⛔Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes ⛔Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination ⛔Sudden, severe headache with no known cause Here’s how you can help combat this disease: ❣️ Quit smoking. ❣️Exercise regularly. ❣️Maintain a healthy weight. ❣️Eat a healthy diet. ❣️Manage your stress. ❣️Limit alcohol. ❣️Take your medicine as prescribed. ❣️Manage other health conditions. What are you will you start doing today?
