Bio-Aging, Inc. has issued a booklet on Women's Heart Health. The booklet gives helpful updates on heart disease prevention along with personal stories from women who've been there, and advice from top doctors and heart disease experts. The booklet--available to the public and health professionals--is offered as a timely public service to promote natural methods of supporting heart health.

The importance of getting the word out on women's heart disease was well articulated earlier by First Lady Laura Bush during her visits to Savannah and Miami, where she urged women to wear red on Friday and talk to their friends about how to reduce their risks. "I wanted to get the word out about heart disease to women," said Mrs. Bush. "It's really important to let women know that heart disease is the number one killer of women in America. And that women don't often have the same symptoms as men."

Heart disease kills half a million American women each year, according to the American Heart Association--more than the next seven causes of death combined. Women are 15% more likely than men to die of a heart attack. And they are twice as likely to have a second heart attack in the six years following the first. Since the American Heart Association also released its new guidelines for heart disease management, women and their doctors have even more incentive to stay informed.

The free booklet gives women and doctors a handy updated explanation of the risks and warning signs outlined by the American Heart Association's "Go Red" campaign and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute's "Heart Truth" campaign. Along with an overview on women's heart disease, the booklet contains articles on the value of heart-healthy eating and exercise, how the C-Reactive Protein (CRP) test really works, and natural remedies for managing inflammation, one of the main culprits of heart disease. Sidebars include helpful tips on protecting men's hearts naturally.

The Women's Heart Health booklet, entitled A Women's Heart, is being supported through a grant by Naturally Vitamins. Naturally Vitamin's main mission is to support wellness from nature.
