MORE: Heart disease and stroke are the No. 1 and No. 5 causes of death in the United States. According to the American Heart Association, eating a nutritious diet low in added salt, exercising for at least 150 minutes every week and managing blood pressure can reduce risk of heart disease and stroke. The goal of programs such as Life is Why™ is to bring health awareness and resources to community members so we can all lead longer, healthier lives.
