  • It may not be surprising to see someone wearing red but there's an extra meaning behind people wearing that color Friday. The first Friday of February every year is National Wear Red Day, a holiday that aims to raise awareness about women's heart health.

National Wear Red Day, observed on the first Friday in February, is part of the American Heart Association's initiative to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death among women in the United States. This day encourages people to wear red to symbolize their support for women's heart health, highlighting the fact that heart disease affects women differently than men, often with subtler symptoms. The campaign aims to educate the public on the risks, prevention, and the importance of early detection of heart disease in women. Activities on this day include community events, educational sessions, and social media campaigns to spread the message that heart health is crucial for women, promoting lifestyle changes and encouraging discussions with healthcare providers about heart health.
