redToday is National Wear Red Day!!

Women are strong. Women are smart. Women solve problems. Women can do anything men can do. And, there are some things we’re even better at – dying of heart disease and stroke. Like breaking barriers? Go Red! And help break the one against heart disease.

Cardiovascular disease, such as heart disease and stroke, claim more women’s lives annually than the next four causes of death combined. The American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women is asking everyone to Go Red by wearing red, living a healthy lifestyle and spreading the message that heart disease is killing our mothers, daughters, sisters and friends.

National Banana Lovers Day

Its National Banana Lovers Day! Did you know the average person eats about 33 pounds of bananas a year? That’s about 100 individual bananas a person!! Bananas are high in fiber and potassium. They can help prevent calcium loss, ulcers, high blood pressure, and certain kinds of cancer. Banana peels are also great for cleaning the scratches off those overused DVDs. The banana tree is actually an herb and the banana is the fruit of this herb.
