In support of National Heart Month, Campbell’s is donating money to the American Heart Association’s Go Red campaign and has asked me to help get the word out about how you can help them spend even more money.
Who doesn’t like spending someone else’s money, right? It is even more fun when it is for such a worthy cause.
Campbell’s sums it up with their tag-line for their adDRESS Your Heart campaign:
A womans’ heart is strong but it’s also vulnerable to the #1 killer of American women: heart disease
Here is the official information:
Campbell’s has teamed up with Grammy-award winner Toni Braxton and designer Lisa Perry to support the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women movement. Perry created three exclusive Campbell’s red dress designs, and America voted on its favorite design as seen here:
Campbell’s will donate a $1 to the Go Red For Women movement for each click on this dress. Click the banner above or visit here to make your click count.
Please also visit the American Heart Association’s website to take the Go Red Heart Checkup. Find out if you are at risk for heart disease.
Have you been active today? One surefire way to lower that risk is through regular exercise. No excuses, be kind to your heart!
I hope to go for a run outside today, how about you?

Vitamin C will prevent heart attacks. There was no such thing as a heart attack in 1900.
In Heart Disease, a medical textbook of more than 900 pages, copyright 1931, Paul Dudley White, a famous research cardiologist, wrote:
“… it may be stated as probable that close to two percent of the population of the northern part of the United States have heart disease of a degree sufficient to produce symptoms or signs.”
In the 1943 edition of the book, he said:
“…when I graduated from medical school in 1911, I had never heard of coronary thrombosis, which is one of the chief threats to life in the United States and Canada today…. There can be no doubt but that coronary heart disease has reached epidemic proportions in the United States, where it is now responsible for more than 50 per cent of all deaths….”
It is astonishing that a disease could go from unknown to #1 killer in less than 20 years. And claims are made that it has a genetic component, or that it is due to eating meat or eggs, as if our forefathers had been vegetarians until then. Equally as astonishing is the fact that the medical establishment has been unable to significantly treat or prevent the disease.
Didn’t people in 1890 eat meat and eggs, salt pork, fatback, and lard?
Heart disease was almost unknown to medicine before 1900, because so few people died from it. It wasn’t even listed as a category on statistics charts. Yet, by the early 1940’s, it was the leading cause of death among American men, although only number eight for women. By 1984, it had become the leading cause of death for women also. Husbands and wives almost always eat the same foods, so why didn’t dietary cholesterol affect women as severely as men in 1943, 1953, 1963, or 1973, but then did affect them that way in 1984?
The cardiac surgeons who wrote the book Type A Behavior and Your Heart had the other answer to that question in 1974.
“In the absence of Type A Behavior Pattern, coronary heart disease almost never occurs before seventy years of age, regardless of fatty foods eaten, the cigarettes smoked, or the lack of exercise. But when this behavior pattern is present, coronary heart disease can easily erupt in one’s thirties or forties.”

Another click, another dollar. I believe that every little bit helps and it’s so important to make everyone aware of the challenges of heart disease!
