Heart to Heart Necklace to Benefit Women's Heart Health

I recently received an invitation to announce a very important campaign to benefit women's heart health. Since I strongly advocate raising awareness among women about heart health and diet, I was excited to accept the invitation.

About the Campaign:

The United Soybean Board (USB) teamed up with top Hollywood design house gorjana Jewelry to create a beautiful sterling silver necklace to help launch the Heart to Heart campaign. This campaign will benefit WomenHeart.org - the only national organization dedicated to promoting women's heart health through advocacy, community education and patient support.

Sleek and stylish, the Heart to Heart necklace features a delicate charm that incorporates the unique combination of a heart and soybean shapes. The charm is finished in brushed sterling silver and hangs on an 18" chain. "Worn alone or layered with other pieces, the necklace is a fashionable and meaningful addition to the jewelry wardrobe of women, young to old. We are excited to partner with the soybean farmers across America for such a good cause", said Gorjana Reidel, designer of the Heart to Heart necklace.

Soyfoods are recognized for their role in an overall heart-healthy diet because they are often relativey low in saturated fats and high in polyunsaturated fat ("good" fats), contain zero zero grams of trans fat per serving and are cholesterol-free. One of USB's main endeavor is to inform Americans about the health risks associated with trans and saturated fats.

"WomenHeart strives to educate women about the importance of a heart healthy diet. This generous donation from the United Soybean Board will help further our efforts in creating a heart-healthy America", said Lisa M. Tate, CEO of WomenHeart.

What You Can Do:

If you want to support WomenHeart's cause, the Heart to Heart necklace is available for purchase online at gorjana.com or at shopbop.com for $45. All sales proceeds will benefit WomenHeart.
