The Heart of the Matter, Ladies

Posted on February 25th, 2009 in HOWDINI by admin

Seeing Heidi Klum at the Oscars reminded me of two things.

1.  I really, really miss Project Runway and hope they resolve the battle between Lifetime and Bravo soon.  It’s my favorite almost-reality show.

2.  She was wearing red, as a reminder that February is women’s Go Red for heart health month.

Heart disease is, by far, the number one killer of women.  More women die of heart disease than breast cancer and all the other women’s cancers combined. And yet so few of us take care of our heart health (including me).

You can learn more about keeping your heart healthy on Howdini (of course). We did a very informative and important series on heart health with Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, a cardiologist who specializes in women’s cardiology at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York.  Start with How to Monitor your Heart Health and take it from there. You’ll also find advice on eating healthier, getting proper exercise, and lots more.

We women know all about broken hearts, but not too much about diseased ones.  Time to fix that, before it’s too late.

So thanks for the reminder, Heidi. And come back soon.

    • Unless you see otherwise, blogs are written by me. To learn a lot about me (and who wouldn’t want to?) check out the About Us page at Howdini.  But here’s enough to help you picture me, your happy blogger, as you read.  I’m a willowy blonde, fabulous figure, late 30s, Ivy League educated but very down to earth. Oh wait, that’s my imaginary alter ego. In reality, I’m none of those things, except down to earth, or maybe, uh, earthy. I’m also a long time television producer and writer, a mom, and a wife. I have written two books; the new one is called Five Lessons I Didn’t Learn From Breast Cancer (and One Big One I Did) which you can buy HERE.
