According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2006, heart disease caused 26 percent of deaths, more than one in every four deaths in the United States. The CDC indicates that every year about 785,000 Americans have their first heart attack, 470,000 more will have another attack.

It’s nearly Valentine’s Day, one of the biggest Hallmark holidays of the year. It’s the time we set aside to recognize and acknowledge our loving feelings for one another.

    We can express romantic love or we can create a more loving bond with friends and co-workers. Often, and especially if we have guests on board, we can plan an event that showcases the holiday, complete with all of the usual frills: flowers, cards, chocolates and gifts featuring a rosy, plump, heart-shaped design.
