As a part of World Preeclampsia Day, we share the story of Noelle Roth, who was diagnosed with the disease just two days before having her daughter. Preeclampsia is often thought of as a pregnancy complication—but its effects can last far beyond delivery.

If you’ve been diagnosed with preeclampsia at any point in your life, you can lower your risk of heart disease by partnering with your doctor to:

✅Implement a healthy lifestyle with a heart-healthy diet and regular exercise
✅Control your blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol
✅Stop smoking

If you've had preeclampsia, it's imperative you closely monitor your cardiovascular health.

Don’t Fry Day helps raise awareness about sun safety and preventing skin cancer, the most common cancer in the U.S. One of the easiest (and most important) ways to protect yourself? Sunscreen. Here are 5 tips for preventing skin cancer.

✔️ Use sunscreen every day—even on cloudy days or in the winter. UV rays are always present.
✔️ SPF matters—look for broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+ is a good baseline) to shield against both burning and aging rays.
✔️Wear protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses
✔️Seek shade, especially during peak sun hours
✔️ Reapply regularly—every two hours, and more often if you’re swimming or sweating.
