Twenty-seven percent of adult women in America have hypertension -- better known as high blood pressure -- which is a key risk factor for stroke, heart attack, and heart disease. What's the easiest way to lower your blood pressure?
Eat healthy, stay active, don't smoke, and limit your intake of caffeine, alcohol, and sodium. And if you're looking for a constant (and chic!) reminder of how important it is to look after your heart, it doesn't get better than these dazzlers from Swarovski, part of a special Heart Truth collection that has $100,000 of proceeds earmarked as a donation to women's heart health research.
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.
