The State of Health in the Black Community

The health status of African Americans has always been higher than that of our white counterparts. Statistically, our health identifies a higher prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, hypertension, diabetes, as well as obesity. While many of us are not aware, socioeconomic factors and inadequate nutrition plague our communities. According to the US National Library of Medicine, and National Institute of Health, "Most health care professionals are not educated and trained to be culturally sensitive. The struggle against the prevalence of diseases in African Americans must incorporate cultural sensitivity, community organization and empowerment." There are many unprecedented factors that cause us to suffer worse than any other demographic group in America. While I would love to cover them all, our guest for today is going to uncover one of the key principles to helping us combat this plague. Dr. Baruch is a naturopathic doctor that teaches on the socioeconomic factors that prevent African Americans from maintaining health. One of his main principles, is helping others understand the difference between the standard American diet vs. the BLACK American diet. Through this work he opened vegan restaurants in inner city and impoverished neighborhoods. On this episode we will dive into his journey, and how to address the multiple factors that take away from our health, such as poor diet, stress, lack of exercise and negative lifestyle choices. In this episode you’ll discover: The State of Health in the African American community How to Combat Health Disparities Understanding our bodies and the illnesses that plague us How to make healthy food taste like soul food The evolution of Dr. Baruch's journey Instagram/ Facebook/ Twitter @itsjessicalaine Valuable resources to get you going: www.eliferestaurant.com www.fightforyourlife.org -Take free Health Assessment www.healthyusa.helo.life - Know the Status of Your Health

Changing views on mental health in the Black community | Chante Meadows | TEDxKingLincolnBronzeville

Why don’t we make our mental health as important as our physical health? Unfortunately, because of mental health stigma. How we view mental health keeps people from ever seeking proper treatment. Just as addressing any physical illness early provides better outcomes, so can addressing our mental health. Lack of mental health care is the root of many of the problems facing community. Drug addiction, violence, sexual abuse, and so many more issues can all be rooted in mental illness. By properly addressing mental health issues, we can heal one person, one family, and hopefully one community at a time. Chante Meadows is the owner of the private practice, Meadows Counseling Group.
