It’s no longer just about wearing red; it’s no longer just about sharing heart health facts. It’s about ALL

women and men, making a commitment to stand together with the American Heart Association

-American Stroke Association and Go Red as we all take charge of our heart health.

ART IS GOODFOR YOUR HEART!Did you know that creating ART can be used to relieve stress and relax your mind and body?

Listening to MUSIC* can:• Improve blood vessel function by relaxing arteries• Help heart rate and blood pressure levels to return to baseline more quickly after physical exertion• Ease anxiety in heart attack survivors• Help people recovering from heart surgery to feel less pain and anxiety (and possibly sleep better).

Everysomeone dies from heart disease and stroke, yet 80% of heart disease is

40 secs

preventable.

We encourage you to WEAR RED and stop by the many Art Hop Venues that are supporting the GO RED movement.

Plus, the American Heart Association will be at the Epic Center hosting live Art Therapy sessions! Look for the big red dress out front!

*According to an article in Harvard Health(as evidenced by a number of different studies)
