National Wear Red Day

National Wear Red Day is an annual American holiday created to support and raise awareness of women with cardiovascular disease. On this day, it is customary to wear red clothes and use red lipstick. Some might even want to dye their hair red. The holiday is annually on February 3rd.

History

The history of the holiday begins in 2002 when The Heart Truth magazine suggested using a red dress as a national female symbol of vascular and heart diseases. The holiday soon became firmly established and gained many supporters. The establishment of National Wear Red Day was significant. Awareness of the problem and prevention of the disease is an excellent approach to maintaining health into old age.

In the modern world, women quite often suffer from diseases of the heart and blood vessels. This is primarily due to a hard working day and a lot of stress. Women often have to give their best at work, managing everything on time, and also devote their free time to raising children. Busy days, one after another, are fraught with chronic fatigue and overwork, which can result in cardiovascular diseases.

Interesting facts

• The overwhelming cause (more than 70% of cases) of heart attacks in women under the age of 36 is smoking.
