美国总统夫人电台演说 2008-02-01

　　Since her close call, Candy has started exercising every day. She"s dropped 45 pounds. Now she"s calling on others to take better care of their hearts. "My family is more aware," Candy says. "My friends are more aware." Even in line at the grocery store, Candy will tell other people about heart disease.

　　I"m proud to serve as the Heart Truth"s official national ambassador. But I"m even more proud of America"s unofficial heart-health ambassadors. Across the United States, doctors, researchers, and patients like Candy Stauffer are telling the Heart Truth, and they"re saving women"s lives. This American Heart Month, all of us can be Heart Truth ambassadors. Start by protecting your own heart, and spread the word to others. February is a month known for Valentines. This February, encourage your loved ones to take care of their health. It"s the best Valentine"s gift you could possibly give.

　　Thanks for listening.
