WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize the American Heart Association and to proclaim | ||
February 1, 2019, National Wear Red Day in Texas; and | ||
WHEREAS, The vast majority of cardiovascular diseases are | ||
preventable, yet millions of women are affected by heart | ||
conditions, and cardiovascular diseases are the number one | ||
killer of women in the United States; and | ||
WHEREAS, Risk factors for cardiovascular diseases include | ||
high blood pressure, smoking, and high cholesterol, all of which | ||
can be controlled with healthy lifestyle choices; and | ||
WHEREAS, The American Heart Association established the Go | ||
Red for Women movement to encourage women to take charge of their | ||
heart health by learning their family health histories and by | ||
meeting with their health care providers to determine their risk | ||
factors for cardiovascular disease; and | ||
WHEREAS, National Wear Red Day is an opportunity for Texans | ||
to show their support for women and the ongoing fight against | ||
heart disease; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
Legislature, hereby urge citizens throughout the state to | ||
express their support for women by observing National Wear Red | ||
Day in Texas and commend all associated with the American Heart | ||
Association for promoting the health of women; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in | ||
honor of this important day. | ||
