(Black PR Wire) February marks American Heart Month, a time to highlight the importance of heart health—especially within Black communities. According to the American Heart Association’s 2025 Heart Disease and Stroke Statistical Update, Black communities in the U.S. continue to face disproportionately higher risks of heart disease, stroke, and hypertension. Factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, chronic stress, and limited access to healthcare contribute to these disparities, making heart health awareness and prevention especially critical.

Many heart-related conditions are preventable with awareness and proactive care. By making intentional lifestyle choices and encouraging open conversations about wellness, we can take meaningful steps toward protecting our hearts and reducing long-standing health disparities.

Ways to Protect Our Hearts:

• Get regular checkups
• Stay active with daily movement
• Eat heart-healthy foods
• Manage stress

Awareness and prevention remain key to protecting heart health!
