On Feb. 7, NIH’ers across multiple institutes wore red in honor of National Wear Red Day. Some showed their spirit in their virtual meetings; others shared their heart-healthy pledges in person.

Research shows that having social support makes getting regular physical activity, eating healthy, losing weight and managing stress easier. Remember: even small changes can make a big difference.
