While the Kansas City Dietitian does look very nice in red attire and loves to root for the Kansas City Chiefs she is wearing red for a different reason. The first Friday of February is National Wear Red Day. National Wear Red Day or Go Red for Women is a day set aside to raise awareness that heart disease is not just a man’s disease, it can affect as many as 1 in 3 women.
What can you do?
- Wear red on the first Friday in February (February 6, 2015)

February is heart month. Let’s spend some time pampering our hearts with a little TLC (Training, Lose Weight, Clean Eating). Exercise, weight loss, and cleaning up your diet are all important ways that you can love your heart.
