I'm Tired of Heart Disease Bracelet

Cardiovascular disease has been the number one killer in the US every year but one since 1900. That’s devastating. Every 20 seconds, a person in the US has a heart attack, and every 34 seconds, someone dies from heart disease. Most of us know what we have to do to prevent it. Simply put, it involves a healthy lifestyle…diet, exercise, no smoking and moderate use of alcohol to keep blood pressure and cholesterol low. Did you know that people who are sedentary, are twice as likely to suffer a heart attack as someone who is active? Yet, more than 66% of Americans, over the age of 20, are obese. Continued preventative education is obviously needed.

The medical profession has certainly come a very long way in treating heart disease. Life-saving heart bypass surgery and angioplasty to open up clogged arteries have made great advances. Yet, in spite of this, it has not yet been knocked out of its number one fatality-causing status. Your help can make a difference!

The bracelet is made from recycled tires and metal. "I'm Tired of" is embossed on both sides with "Heart Disease" on top. The band stretches so you can easily put it on and take it off.
