Did you know that 61% of American women are overweight or obese? 

 

Obesity is a leading risk factor for heart disease.  WomenHeart and Nutrisystem® have partnered to demonstrate how losing weight is an important step towards maintaining a healthy heart. They challenged eight WomenHeart Champions motivated to lose weight and become Red Dress Ready by February 5 – National Wear Red Day®.

 

In July 2009, these WomenHeart Champions, all women living with heart disease, began their Getting Red Dress Ready journey knowing their success would inspire other women to take action to reduce their personal risk factors and live fuller lives. 

 

Through the partnership, Nutrisystem provided complimentary membership to its programs, which included healthy meals, nutritional counseling, support and education.

Nutrisystem on a Mission to Help Women Reach Their Weight Loss Goals

 

The link between obesity and heart disease is clear: being mildly overweight can dramatically increase the risk of heart disease for women, and losing weight can significantly help decrease that risk.

 

Through the Getting Red Dress Ready Campaign and its partnership with WomenHeart, Nutrisystem has embraced the goal of spreading the word about the importance of weight loss and better heart health for all women.

 

Nutrisystem is committed to supporting WomenHeart and its education and awareness programs with support totaling $100,000 from a combination of cash donations, fundraising, product donations and advertising support.
