A Cultural guide to better health
on sale
now
In an age where disease is on the increase and the reality of viral pandemics in our lifetime exists, I am compelled to address the health and wellbeing within the black community. The National Health Service in the UK states that we currently have poor health statistics and that the recent Covid 19 pandemic severely impacted people of colour. Even though there are various social, economic and occupational reasons for this, lifestyle and diet are a major contributor. This book tries to help reveal why our health as a community is poor and whether our culture, traditions and attitudes contribute to this, as well as tips and advice to a healthy life including
​
-
A cultural food guide
-
Tips to help prevent and reduce disease
-
Information on how mindset and emotions affect our choices
-
Our relationship with food
-
Health and fitness advice (including exercises)
​
There is something for everyone in this book regardless of colour or creed to help catapult you in to better health, which in turn will give you a better life.
As a Health and Fitness Entrepreneur, Personal Trainer and Health Coach my hope is to motivate and inspire you to take a real look at your own health and if need be, take one step at a time to make positive change.
