WE WILL GO RIGHT
BACK.
WELCOME BACK TO OZARKS FOX AM
WE ARE ALWAYS EXCITED TO SEE
OUR FRIEND PEGGY SCOTT WITH THE
AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION.
THE CONTEST WAS A YEAR AGO.
IT'S TIME TO WEAR RED AGAIN.
YOU HAVE LOTS OF REASONS TO
WEAR RED.
ST. LOUIS CARDINALS AND WHAT
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TOMORROW.
FEBRUARY IS AMERICAN HEART
MONTH BUT WE ALLOCATE THE FIRST
FRIDAY IN FEBRUARY TO BE
NATIONAL WHERE RED DAY.
YOU CAN SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR
THOSE WHO ARE IMPACTED BY
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE.
QUOTES TALK ABOUT NUMBERS.
PEOPLE AFFECTED BY HEART
DISEASE.
IS THE NUMBER ONE KILLER
WORLDWIDE AND IN THE UNITED
STATES.
YOU HEAR SO MUCH ABOUT
CANCER AND HEART DISEASE.
AMERICAN HEART MONTH HAS
BEEN AROUND SINCE 1964.
THIS IS TIED TO THE GO RED FOR
WOMEN MOVEMENT.
WOMEN ESPECIALLY DIDN'T REALIZE
THE RISK FOR CARDIOVASCULAR
DISEASE.
IT KILLS MORE WOMEN THAN ALL
FORMS OF CANCER COMBINED.
THE GOOD NEWS IS 80 PERCENT OF
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE IS
PREVENTABLE.
WE WANT TO LEAD WITH THE
NUMBERS BUT WE WANT PEOPLE TO
KNOW THERE ARE THINGS YOU CAN
DO.
WE DON'T WANT SOMEONE TO SAY
WELL I CAN'T DO ANYTHING.
THAT'S THE WHOLE THING IS
SCARY.
HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE AT
RISK?
DO YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR A SIGN?
KNOWING YOUR FAMILY HISTORY
IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE A LOT OF
US HAVE RISKS IN THE FAMILY AND
YOU CANNOT CHANGE YOUR GENETIC
MAKEUP BUT THE FIRST STEP GOING
TO THE DOCTOR ANNUALLY
LISTENING TO WHAT THE DOCTOR
ADVISES FOR YOU.
THEY WILL TAKE YOUR FAMILY
HISTORY AND DECIDE WHERE YOU
ARE YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT IS
YOUR NORMAL.
I KNOW OF THE SURVIVOR THIS IS
I HAVE STRESS I HAVE STRESS AND
SHE WAS ONLY 47 AND SHE DID NOT
THINK IT COULD BE HER HEART BUT
IT WAS.
AND DON'T BE EMBARRASSED.
PEOPLE SAID DIDN'T WANT TO CALL
THE AMBULANCE.I HAD MY SPOUSE
DRIVE ME.
DON'T BE EMBARRASSED.
YOUR LIFE IS WORTH MORE THAN A
AMBULANCE.
WAS TALK ABOUT WHY THE RISKS
ARE GREATER FOR WOMEN THAN MEN.
I DON'T THINK THEY ARE
GREATER COULD I THINK WOMEN
WERE NOT AWARE OF THEIR RISKS.
YOU THINK OF IT AS A MAN'S
DISEASE BUT THAT'S NOT
ACCURATE.
IT'S EVERYONE.
MORE HEART ATTACKS KILL
WOMEN.
WE ARE AFFECTED.
I DON'T NOW.
WE HAVE A HEART ATTACK
SOMETIMES IT'S WORSE.
WOMEN TYPICALLY PUT
THEMSELVES LAST.
I HAVE MY KIDS.
I HAVE MY HUSBAND.
I HAVE AGING PARENTS.
SOMETIMES THEY IGNORE THEIR
SYMPTOMS LONGER IT DOES AFFECT
ALL OF US.
IT'S NOT JUST MEN AND IS NOT
JUST WOMEN.
SO DO YOUR RESEARCH
THAT'S IMPORTANT AND
BEHAVIOR IS IMPORTANT EXERCISE
IS IMPORTANT.
NOT SMOKING.
PAYING ATTENTION TO YOUR BLOOD
PRESSURE.
AND KNOWING ABOUT DIABETES, I
DON'T KNOW IF THEY DETERMINE
SPECIFICALLY YOU ARE AT A
GREATER RISK BUT ADDITIONAL
THAT MORE PEOPLE THAT HAVE
HEART DISEASE ALSO HAVE
DIABETES.
HOW IS THE RESEARCH GOING?
WE TRY TO RAISE MONEY FOR
RESEARCH?
IN MISSOURI IN THE LAST FIVE
YEARS WE HAVE DONATED $12
MILLION.
AND I THINK THINGS ARE BETTER.
OUR WORK IS NOT DONE AND HE IS
RIGHT BUT I THINK WHEN YOU
THINK ABOUT BYPASS SURGERY
WHICH WAS THE ONLY OPTION IN
THE 80S.
THERE ARE SOME BEAUTIFUL
PEOPLE.
[INDISCERNIBLE]
I THINK IF PEOPLE ARE MORE
AWARE OF THEIR BODIES AND YOU
CAN'T TAKE CARE OF YOUR KIDS
AND YOUR AGING PARENTS IF YOU
ARE NOT WELL.
YOU HAVE TO KEEP THIS ENGINE
RUNNING BEFORE YOU TAKE CARE OF
ANYONE ELSE.
WE ARE WEARING IT TODAY AS A
REMINDER TO WEAR RED TOMORROW.
AND YOU WORE THIS.
I DO HAVE A LOT OF RED
BECAUSE OF MY JOB BUT I THOUGHT
IF SOMEONE DOESN'T HAVE A TON
OF RED BUT THEY HAVE A RED
SWEATER OR A RED JACKET OR RED
ACCESSORIES.
RED LIPSTICK.
PEOPLE WEAR BRIGHT RED LIPSTICK
THINGS LIKE THAT.
IF YOU ARE DOING THINGS ON
SOCIAL MEDIA.
WHAT DO PEOPLE NEED TO TAG.
GO READ MODE.
WE WILL DO A RECAP AND SHOW
PICTURES AND WE WANT TO SHARE
EVERYTHING ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT
WE CAN.
ANYONE CAN GO AND SEARCH IT ON
INSTAGRAM TWITTER OR FACEBOOK
AT THANKS TO THE VIEWERS.
SEE YOU SOON.
