Prepared Remarks of President
George Walker Bush
Weekly Address
Saturday, February 1, 2008
MRS. BUSH: Good morning. This is Laura Bush. For the weekly radio address, President Bush has handed the mic over to me. And today, I"d like to talk about something that"s close to my heart -- America"s heart health.
February is American Heart Month -- a time to start heart-healthy habits, and to learn about the risk factors for heart disease. These risk factors include smoking, being overweight, lack of exercise, diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol, family history, and age. Heart disease affects more than 80 million people in the United States and claims the life of one American every minute.
By now, many women who"ve tuned in may be tempted to tune out. A few years ago, I might have. Like many women, I assumed heart disease was a "man"s disease." But the Heart Truth is this: that heart disease is the leading cause of death among American women. In 2002, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute launched the Heart Truth campaign, and asked me to join.
