Families Urged to Use Go Red Corazon Family Tree to Begin a Heart-Healthy Legacy
Date:9/2/2008

er -- due to factors such as diabetes, physical inactivity and obesity. In fact, 20 percent of Hispanics in America have hypertension, 8.3 percent have heart disease, and 5.9 percent have coronary heart disease.

Certain health conditions are genetically passed from one family member to another, but healthy habits can also be passed from generation to generation. So, as part of Hispanic Heritage Month, take steps to adopt a heart-healthy lifestyle -- to help ensure that your heritage continues.

Go Red Corazon can help women and their families take charge of their heart health. For free information about Hispanics and heart disease risk factors, prevention tips, a heart-health guide and free recipes, visit http://www.goredcorazon.org or call 1-888-MY-HEART (1-888-694-3278).
