Sister to Sister Blogs
Welcome to the Sister to Sister blogs, where you'll find conversations started by women, for women. To get started, you can read our intro post or browse through our blog series: Inspiring Stories, where we feature heart healthy women who've inspired us; and Tip Talk, where we apply one of our Daily Tips in our day-to-day lives.
- Just when you might feel like you're all alone, Sister to Sister is right there by your side. Get to know these inspiring, real women who are just like you, trying to do it all, including improving their health.
- We all have that friend who we might affectionately call Chatty Cathy. She will tell you everything you want to know, and even the things you don't. But, we listen, and we join the conversation because we women love to talk. Join us here as we talk about applying daily tips into our daily lives.
- Because heart disease kills one in four women, Sister to Sister's Screen Four campaign motivates women to get screened for heart disease and inspire three others to join them. Hear from everyday women who are helping to save lives just by doing their part to Screen Four.
Heart Health Risk Assessment
RATE TODAY'S TIP
Pay Attention to Neck Size
A large neck may be linked with an increased risk of heart disease in both men and women, found researchers in a recent Framingham Heart Study. Those who had larger necks were also more likely to have higher levels of LDL cholesterol (the bad kind) and higher blood pressure. If you suspect you may be at risk, schedule an appointment with your doctor for a heart health screening.
