February is Black History Month!
A chance to celebrate the men and women throughout history whose actions, even after death, continue to impact our lives and the communities we live in. It also recognizes the movers and shakers of today, celebrities and regular folks, who are making a difference now and for the future.
But while you’re celebrating black history month, you may want to brush up on your own family history too – namely your heart history.
February also kicks off American Heart Month.
Not only is heart disease the #1 killer among men and women in the U.S., but it also tends to run in the family. And African American men are 30 percent more likely to die from heart disease, as compared to white men. Which means now is a great time to understand your risk and learn how to prevent heart disease.
Head over to The Beehive for more information about your heart health and to celebrate a few people who are making a big difference locally and nationally.
