Which health issue affects more women than any other? It's heart disease, surprised? Health Corner brings you the latest on heart disease prevention and treatment, with leading experts from the Mayo Clinic and the National Institutes of Health. Four years ago, 30 percent of women knew heart disease is the number-one killer of women. But today, that number has more than doubled, thanks in part to the Heart Truth Campaign. Health Corner visits the campaign's Red Dress Event during fashion week in New York City. It's a glamorous affair with Heart Truth Ambassador and First Lady Mrs. Laura Bush, A-list celebrities, and top fashion designers. All united to support an important cause-increasing knowledge and awareness on how heart disease can be prevented. Later in the show, ChefMD(tm) Dr. John La Puma does his part by preparing a delicious cold gazpacho soup loaded with nutrients that help reduce heart disease risk. Also, Leeza Gibbons and Dr. Jamie share the poignant story of two sisters who have a difficult decision to make. Their father needs more care than they can provide, so they're looking into options for assisted living. How do you know when the time is right? Fitness guru Todd Whitthorne explains how knowing your target heart rate can help you achieve aerobic fitness. And, Florida Perry Smith on making resolutions that will make you look and feel fabulous, all year long. All that, and much more.
