National Go Red Day
Why GO RED St. Peter? And what does GO RED stand for exactly?
GO RED is a national movement started in 2004 to empower women and
encourage others to break barriers against heart disease and stroke. Heart
disease and stroke claim the lives of 1 out of 3 women every year; one
woman every minute. 80% of these deaths related to heart disease could
have been prevented with education and lifestyle changes. This is why St.
Peter goes Red. Our mothers, aunts, sisters, daughters, nieces,
grandmothers deserve a fighting chance and we all have the power to
make a difference. In fact…
Get Your Numbers: have your blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose
checked. High blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose are risk factors
for heart disease.
Own Your Lifestyle: stop smoking, lose weight, be physically active
and eat healthy.
Raise Your Voice: advocate for more women-related research and
education.
Educate Your Family: make healthy food choices for you & your
family. Teach your kids the importance of staying active.
Donate: Show your support with a donation of time to educate others
or money to continue research and programs 4 women.
Let’s get educated today by picking up information in the Narthex after
service; and the Health and Wellness Ministry is asking you to make a
commitment to reduce sodium (salt) in your diet by completing the
Reduce Sodium pledge cards on the information table. Once a
month or every two months, you will receive an email with a healthy tip.
You will also be entered into a drawing to win a heart healthy, hardback
“Soul Food” cook book. Did you know 75% of the sodium in your diet
comes from processed foods; not the salt shaker?
Fresh fruits and vegetables are best.
Don’t forget to join us February 9th, for hands only CPR training at 7 p.m.
Sign up sheets are located across from the large multi-purpose room and located
in the Narthex (brochure rack).
