GIVEAWAY CLOSED!

  1. Did you know that heart disease is the number one killer of American women?
  2. Are you aware that one in four American women dies of heart disease?
  3. Has it ever occurred to you that midlife is a time when women tend to develop factors that increase their risk for heart disease, and having just one risk factor doubles the risk of heart disease?

If you answered NO to even one of the above question, you are not alone. The unfortunate truth is that one in three women underestimates her own risk of heart disease. There is no quick fix for heart disease but women can help reduce their risk by as much as 82 percent through a heart healthy lifestyle, including: eating right, being physically active, not smoking, and keeping a healthy weight. 

In support of National Heart Health Month, supermodel and accomplished jewelry designer Heidi Klum has unveiled the Diet Coke Red Dress Charm.  Inspired by the Red Dress symbol, the national symbol for women’s heart health, Klum designed the charm in the shape of an hourglass to remind women that time is now to take care of their hearts.

For the second consecutive year, Klum is the Diet Coke heart health ambassador as part of their support of The Heart Truth, a national effort sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) to educate women about the risks of heart disease and ways they can protect their heart health. As part of this awareness campaign, ten lucky winners will receive a ruby and diamond encrusted replica of the Red Dress Charm which Klum will be wearing on the red carpet at the Accademy Awards® on February 22, 2009.  People can enter the Red Dress Charm Sweepstakes at www.DietCoke.com, where they’ll also find tips on achieving heart health and ways to get involved in The Heart Truth campaign.

From the Red Dress Fashion Show on February 13th, to The Heart Truth Road Show making stops nationwide, to more then 6 billion packages of Diet Coke bearing the Red Dress symbol, The Heart Truth campaign aims to motivate women to protect their heart health.

WIN RED DRESS GIVEAWAY : Let’s join together to help raise awareness of this important women’s health issue.  I am giving away 4 Crystal replicas of Klum’s charm to 4 lucky readers. To participate here’s what you need to do:
