PLEASANT GROVE, Utah, July 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- doTERRA International was proud to support the Utah affiliate of the American Heart Association in support of the Go Red for Women event held in downtown Salt Lake City in March of 2017. The American Heart Association uses the Go Red for Women event to kick-off a yearlong campaign to raise awareness for heart disease in women.

According to the American Heart Association, heart disease is the number one cause of death in women, and responsible for one in three deaths every year. Unfortunately, heart disease affects some women differently than it does others—and the warning signs for heart disease in women are different than they are for men. These factors have resulted in misconceptions about heart disease, making it difficult for women to truly take charge of their heart health.

The Go Red for Women campaign was designed to spread awareness about heart disease in women, while encouraging women to take control of their heart health by learning about risk factors, warning signs, and healthy habits. The campaign also aims to raise money for research that will help to educate doctors about heart disease, how to treat it, warning signs, and more.

doTERRA is proud to donate to a cause that will help spread awareness about, and raise funds for, heart disease in women. To learn more about heart disease in women, visit the American Heart Association website.
