Nutrisystem and WomenHeart are helping people lead heart-healthy lives!
By losing weight, you can lower your risk of heart disease.
NutriSystem announced a partnership with WomenHeart, the nation’s only national organization solely dedicated to promoting women’s heart health and providing a place to turn for women living with or at risk of heart disease. The link between weight and heart disease is clear: being mildly overweight can dramatically increase the risk of a heart attack for women.
The rise and risk of heart disease in women is startling: nearly one-third (27.2 percent) of all female deaths each year are from heart disease, and the majority of Americans that die from congestive heart failure are women – more than 30,000 each year. In the face of these frightening facts, WomenHeart was dedicated to empowering women to take charge of their heart health. They believe that partnering with NutriSystem is a step in the right direction toward reducing heart disease risk factors in women.
