Friday Focus

Good morning,
Grace and peace be unto you!

We are still focused  on heart disease.

One in four women dies of heart disease. For African American women, the risk of heart disease is especially great. Heart disease is more prevalent among black women than white women—as are some of the factors that increase the risk of developing it, including high blood pressure, overweight and obesity, and diabetes.

Ladies that means in your circle at least one of you will die from heart disease and that does not have to be. Our health has got to be more important than anything. You only get one body and when it's used up that's it. We need to start early training our children to eat well and to exercise.

We have become a very immobile society but that has to change. Before you say the gym is expensive. You're right but what can you do in your living room? Zumba is fun and the whole family can do it together. Turn on some music and just do some old school dancing. Walk around your neighborhood. Find a long church gym that you can walk in. It doesn't have to be fancy you just need to get your heart rate up.

Next, we have got to eat better. I know cooked vegetables taste better but we all need to incorporate some raw fruits and vegetables in each day. Then we need to eliminate so much sugar. Obesity and heart disease go hand in hand. When you elite the obesity the chances of heart disease go down.

I love you and want you to be around for generations to share your beauty. Call a friend or a relative and ask them to go walk with you.

Until Monday
