February is not only the month of heart and love for Valentine's Day, but it is also Heart Health Month. Heart disease is the #1 cause of death in our country and almost every 25 seconds someone will have a cardiac episode. Preparation and prevention is the best way to avert a cardiac episode.

Preparation includes being screened for potential heart disease risk. This is especially important for those suffering from conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure as well as those who indulge in high risk behaviors such as smoking. Some of the standard tools used by physicians include blood testing of cholesterol, metabolic panels, and other specialized blood tests. With Heart Health in mind, tests are offered for as little as:
Lipid Profile for $19
CardioPlus for $29
Heart Health Panel for $129

Some preventative measures that could be incorporated into one's life to reduce the likelihood of a cardiac event would be smoking cessation, proper diet and nutrition and exercise. Doctors also use cholesterol tests to monitor the effectiveness of medication designed to reduce unhealthy cholesterol levels. The medication is also a preventive measure in someone who has high cholesterol levels. For more preventive measures, it is best to contact your licensed physician for advice.

What better way to show your loved one how much you care by ordering them tests to check the status of their heart health and yours?

Interesting Heart Facts:

Every 34 seconds a person in the United States dies from heart disease. More than 2,500 Americans die from heart disease each day. Almost 6 million hospitalizations each year (in the U.S.) are due to cardiovascular disease. Men suffer heart attacks about 10 years earlier than women do.

Smoking cigarettes speeds up progression of atherosclerosis and alters lipid profile, with more LDL and less HDL. Male pattern baldness, hair in the ear canals, and creased earlobes are associated with a higher risk for heart disease in white males. African American women have the highest risk for death from heart disease. People who eat beans at least four times a week have a lower level of heart disease (19% lower) than people who eat beans less than once a week. Smoking cigarettes reduces coronary artery blood flow due to adrenaline release.

C-Reactive Protein, hs - Cardio (also specic or high sensitivity) C-Reactive Protein is a marker of in- ammation to the blood vessels and a strong predictor of risk for future myocardial infarctions.

Fibrinogen is a protein in your blood that helps blood clot. Too much fibrinogen can cause a clot to form in an artery,
leading to a heart attack or stroke.

Homocysteine is a substance your body uses to make protein and to build and maintain tissue.Too much may increase your risk of stroke, certain types of heart disease, and disease of the blood vessels of the arms, legs and feet (peripheral artery disease).

Lipid Prole is a group of simple blood tests that reveal important information about the types, amount and distribution of
the various types of fats (lipids) in the bloodstream.

Lipoprotein (a) is a type of LDL cholesterol. Your Lp(a) level is determined by your genes and isn't generally affected by lifestyle.

High levels may be a sign of increased risk of heart disease. It is often tested if you have a family history of early onset heart disease or sudden death, or if you already have atherosclerosis or heart disease but appear to have otherwise
normal cholesterol levels.

How many times have you run into a deal or situation that seems too good to be true? Do you ignore it or do you investigate further to see if it really is true?
Often when people hear about the Healthy Life Free RxCut® healthcare discount program, the very first reaction is, “What’s the catch?” So let us take a moment to explain why the Free RxCut® Plus healthcare discount program is really too good to ignore.
Skepticism is often present when it comes to anything FREE. Fortunately, the Healthy Life RxCut®Plus healthcare discount program operates on a transparent platform that addresses the response of ‘It’s too good to be true’.
By leveraging the enormous number of people who need help paying their medical expenses, we’re able to negotiate deep discounts with service providers. We collect a flat rate administrative fee for each transaction to cover expenses of the program and commissions paid to our distribution network, only when we save our card users money! We created a model that is truly a win/win. The card user ultimately wins as they are guaranteed the absolute lowest price at the Pharmacy as either a result of the card user’s co-pay, the retail price at the pharmacy or the RxCut price. Consumers pay whichever price is the lowest. This is the only card that will equalize a transaction at the pharmacy counter. Don’t be fooled by the other card programs.
It’s just that simple. The “middle man” or Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) is removed from the equation allowing our deep discounts to be passed along to the card user when at the pharmacy counter.
RxCut® Plus, the Equalizer in healthcare, is beneficial to all; the insured with Generic co pays of $10.00 or higher, uninsured, underinsured, those with high deductibles and those who fall in the Medicare donut hole.
The RxCut® Equalizer card guarantees that card users are always receiving the absolute lowest price possible on their generic prescriptions, whether it’s their insurance copayment, the pharmacy retail price, or the RxCut® Price. The RxCut® price on 21 of the 25 most frequently processed generic drugs, for card users, has been less than an insurance co-pay of $10 or more.
Today, more than 210 million Americans receive drug benefits from their employers and pay a co-pay for a generic drug that is often higher than the RxCut® price. For example, RxCut® Plus recently saved a card user $7.80 on a prescription for 20 tablets of Ibuprofen Tab 600MG. The card user asked his pharmacist what the RxCut® price was and instead of paying the flat rate $15 generic insurance co pay, the card user paid the RxCut® price of $7.20.
RxCut® Plus can help consumers save on their prescriptions, whether they have insurance or not. That is the bottom line, too good to ignore.
There is absolutely no cost to users, the program never collects any personal information all cards are active. The RxCut® Plus card is accepted at over 54,000 pharmacies across the US and Puerto Rico.
