WHEREAS, For a decade, the American Heart Association's Go |
|
Red For Women program has been educating citizens on the real risks |
|
of cardiovascular diseases; and |
|
WHEREAS, While only 20 percent of American women consider |
|
cardiovascular disease their greatest health risk, heart disease |
|
remains the number one cause of death for women, claiming more |
|
lives than all forms of cancer combined; and |
|
WHEREAS, An estimated 43 million women in the United States |
|
are affected by cardiovascular diseases; although progress has been |
|
made in recent years, women still make up only 24 percent of |
|
participants in heart-related studies, while more women than men |
|
have died each year from heart disease since 1984; and |
|
WHEREAS, The American Heart Association has designated |
|
February as American Heart Month, and as part of the effort to raise |
|
awareness about heart disease and stroke, the Go Red For Women |
|
campaign works to change the perception that heart disease occurs |
|
only in men; moreover, the campaign encourages women to talk to |
|
their health care providers about their risk factors and to make |
|
simple changes to their lifestyle by using such tools as the |
|
association's BetterU nutrition and fitness program; and |
|
WHEREAS, Go Red For Women serves as a powerful reminder that |
|
by taking charge of their heart health women can live stronger, |
|
longer lives; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
Legislature hereby recognize February 1, 2013, as National Wear Red |
|
Day and encourage all Texans to show their support for women and the |
|
fight against heart disease by wearing the color red. |
