Heart Truth Factoid #7:

Twenty-two percent of women in their twenties have high cholesterol, which -- even at that age -- increases the risk of getting a heart attack or stroke.

To put yourself in the mood for a juicy apple or vine-ripened tomato, throw on this bright red dress -- it's also perfect for the office and flattering for nearly every body type.

Why are we promoting a happy heart? It's on trend of course! This month, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) will host its annual star-studded Red Dress Collection runway show during New York Fashion Week. The Heart Truth initiative, as it is known, aims to inform women about the risk of heart disease.
