Spas Help You Get Heart Healthy In February

LEXINGTON, Ky., Feb. 1 February isn't all about flowers and chocolates, it's actually more about hearts than you might think. This month is American Heart Month and February 5 is Wear Red Day, a special day to raise awareness about heart disease, the leading cause of death for men and women in the U.S. According to the Center for Disease Control, about every 25 seconds, an American will have a coronary event, and about every minute someone will die from one. The best weapons you have against heart disease are a healthy diet and lifestyle, and that's where the spa comes in.

"Spas are the perfect place to learn heart healthy lifestyle techniques from relaxation methods to cooking tips," said ISPA President Lynne McNees. "The No. 1 reason people visit the spa is to reduce/relieve stress. What's more important than investing in your health? Wouldn't you rather relax and revitalize at a spa, then spend time in a doctor's office being treated for stress-related illnesses like heart disease down the road?"

ISPA members are recognizing American Heart Month:
