Jane Seymour reveals 'wake-up call' that changed everything about her health approach

Jane Seymour becomes American Heart Association ambassador after family history of heart disease, sharing health tips and stress management strategies.

Christina Dugan Ramirez is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital. 

"My mother had heart disease. My father died of heart disease," said Seymour, who recently teamed up with the American Heart Association as its newest ambassador. "My sisters and I, we all need to watch our cholesterol and we take statins."

"More women die from it than men. It's the number one cause of death for women, more than all the cancers put together," she added. "One in 5 women in the U.S. will have a stroke in their lifetime … I think it's a wake-up call."
