Women, take care of your hearts
Says Dr. Yasmine S. Ali:
… According to the American Heart Association, heart disease kills approximately one woman every minute, making it still the No. 1 killer of women age 20 and older.
More women die of cardiovascular disease … than from the next four causes of death combined, including all forms of cancer. Approximately one in three women die of cardiovascular disease every year.
