Healthy For Good

Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of all Americans and physical inactivity doubles your risk of being affected.

"Healthy For Good" is the American Heart Association's national movement that aims to help Americans get moving and reduce their risk of heart disease by creating a culture of physical activity and health in order to live longer, healthier lives.

Through fundraisers like Home Runs For Heart, the American Heart Association is able to fund lifesaving research and educational programs in the Greater Philadelphia community.

The American Heart’s research also supports a link between oral health and cardiovascular disease that’s been proposed for more than a century.
They provide data of the connection as it relates to the spread of oral bacteria in their research articles that are available for public view.
