A healthy diet that is low in sodium and saturated fat is key to heart disease prevention. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan was put together to help lower high blood pressure. It requires no special foods and provides daily and weekly nutritional goals.

Heart disease is largely preventable, yet many Americans remain at risk of getting it. Smoking, being overweight, having diabetes, having unhealthy blood cholesterol levels, or having a family history of heart disease, increases the likelihood you'll develop heart disease. Know your numbers, understand your risks and set achievable goals.

Today is Transdev’s #WearRed day. On this Valentine’s Day, we encourage you and your teams to wear red today to help raise awareness for Heart Month.

February is designated as American Heart Month. Heart disease is largely preventable and focusing on improving your heart health has never been more important.
