The entire month of February is American Heart Month. Go Red For Women, powered by the American Heart Association’s research, educates and connects millions of women of all ages. Whether it’s eating healthier, exercising more, reducing our cholesterol, or quitting smoking, Go Red helps women make these choices for themselves and each other.

Recipes for the Heart is a 100-page, four-color magazine cookbook with recipes that follow the American Heart Association’s diet and lifestyle recommendations. The cookbook can help women enjoy a balanced, healthy diet and reduce their risks for heart disease and stroke. It also includes important information on risk factors and prevention.

The restaurant, Cheap is raising funds for the American Heart Association during February. Every Thursday, Cheap will donate 25% of the proceeds from food.

• Cardiovascular disease kills approximately 450,000 women each year, about one every minute.
• While 1 in 30 American women die of breast cancer, about 1 in 3 die from cardiovascular disease.
• More women die of cardiovascular disease than the next five causes of death combined, including all forms of cancer.
• Ninety percent of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease.
• Only 1 in 5 women believe that heart disease is her greatest health threat.
