Lets Make Black America more Conscious (307 hits)

I love this social network and want to share with everyone the mission of being more health conscious. I recently watched the "Death of Black America" by Dr. Afrika and was shocked.y people are destroyed by lack of knowledge is all that came to my mind...... For years we have been eating and eating killing ourselves. Fast food, fried foods. junk food..... is the death of Black America. Lets' end it NOW. All my life I have consumed food and not realized the potential harm. When I was pregnant my doctor mentioned the importance of eating healthy and I took her advice for the moment. After I gave birth I was back to my old ways until I found out that I had gall stones. Painful I tell you!! Now I am learning and being more conscious about the foods that I consume for myself and my family. M These foods are one of the causes for diseases such as diabetes, cancer, heart disease. or ms. The sad thing is when you confront people about it they respond with "gonna die anyway", but please let's not eat to die and let's die from things that we CAN NOT PREVENT!!!!!! Stay away from high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, and try to eat fried foods in moderation. Omit fast food from your diet altogether......

Good point. We really need to focus on healthy eating and living. We're losing our family members to PREVENTABLE illness and diseases. And unfortunately it's going to be an uphill battle because traditional cooking is a big part of our culture... when we break out some grilled chicken or invite friends out to work out, people want to look at us like we're crazy...
