Healthy-Heart Belt

Healthy-Heart Belt

Research suggests women are nearly five times more likely to die of heart disease if they have a waist circumference above 35" and high triglyceride levels (normal triglyceride levels are below 150 mg/dL). That’s why we’ve developed the Healthy-Heart belt. This beautiful grosgrain ribbon belt serves as a daily reminder of the significant role waist circumference and triglycerides play in women’s heart health.

For just $24.95 you can get your own Healthy-Heart belt. Perfect with any outfit, this belt demonstrates your commitment to reducing the impact of heart disease in women!

As part of the Forgotten Fat campaign, The Sister to Sister Foundation will be coming to Kansas City, MO, Cleveland, OH and Raleigh, NC to provide women with free heart health screenings and consultations. The events will raise awareness about the importance of maintaining normal triglyceride levels. Click here for more information.
