As American Heart Month gets underway, I received a great heart report Thursday. I've been under a cardiologist's care since 1994 when I suffered a massive heart attack. Dr. Rashan Mathew informed me that after years of having 20% heart muscle at work pumping my ticker I have increased that to 30%! And, I am in Level 1 of those with heart disease who at risk. There are four levels, with level 4 being the most dangerous. Dr. Mathew credits my exercise regime and proper mix of medicines.

Please, during this month, if you haven't already done so, consider having some health checks to make sure you are not in danger of a heart attack.

And, if it is not too late, wear red today.
