Tomorrow is the International Women's Day and Wear Red day 2011, a tradition started by the American Heart association to raise awareness about heart disease in Women.
It is commonly thought about as an " older man's disease"
Lately we women live the same life as men. Greasy food, Sitting long hours, Drinking to much, Smoking too much ( even secondhand smoke counts) Stressing too much, And we even put ourselves at risks taking Birth control pills. .....Heart disease is today the number one killer of women. Sounds awful.
Just a 40 minutes brisk walk every day can make a difference in our health.
I will be dressed in red, red sweater, red silk top, red nails, red lips.
Ps. the little red shoe is a pin in Sweden , designed by writer and giornalist Lotta Lewenhaupt to symbolize the day.
