Many blacks including African Amercans continue to suffer from Non Commincable Disease (NCD) High blood pressure and heart disease continue to plague many of us.
I believe we need to take charge of our health. The cost of health is increasing day by day.
Slavery has impacted on the way we eat. During slavery black people had to endure the indignity of eating the offal and skin of the pig. As result many suffer as a result.
Today the pharmaceutcal companies, the insurance companies and the doctors seem to be involved so that people continue to believe that health comes in a bottle.
The foods we eat determine how healthy we are.
As a black woman I do not eat fast food. I try to eat food that is cooked and also consume lots of vegetables. I believe drinking water to eliminate the poisons that are trapped in our body.
Being healthy is not determined by pills and medication. We as a people must get back to the things the older generation taught us. We must be willing to simplify the way we eat. Remove the fat that has been a part of the diet of many black people.
I will post some pictures of food that are good for our health and recipes that are enjoyable. Do hope others can send recipes and learn from each other.
