February is American Heart Month, a time to raise awareness about heart disease, the leading cause of death in the United States. My Health & Fitness column in the Aiken Standard this week includes four simple steps you can take to assess and lower your risk for heart disease.

You can learn more about heart disease and what you can do to prevent heart attack and stroke from the American Heart Association.
