Author Description

African Americans are facing disparities in every aspect in life, but the most devastating is in the area of healthcare. The first lady of the United States of America, Michelle Obama, has given national attention to the obesity crisis that plaque our country. God wants us to take care of our bodies because when we read the book of Leviticus, it clearly states what we should and should not eat. Eating well and exercising more will reap tons of benefits. However, we cannot just talk about it, we must take the necessary action. This book is biblical based and should be taken seriously, that is, if we are to prosper and survive in the area of healthcare. We must realize that every one of us has the potential to take better care of our temple. We must assume responsibility for our own healthcare while encouraging others to do the same. Our people perish from a lack of knowledge is a true biblical statement, because we know that knowledge is power and when we know better, we will perform better. Someone once said that it takes money to eat well and exercise, however, that point may be open for debate.
